"We have trust issues." Mylar

Gosh, I just love Kathryn. That little high talker grabbed me during her season and she hasn't let go since. I think she's exquisite. In fact, with the exception of Mischa Chan, I enjoyed all the girl All Stars they brought back this season. I enjoyed the boys, too. Getting folks like Jacob and Marko rather than the Hunchback was a serious upgrade. I just really missed Mark.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I'm sorry Jesse, but that ending made me happy. Go NERDBOY

Yay him, obviously. I was legitimately surprised!

I was too! When he picked Dan over Danielle, I thought for sure he had lost, but I think that's what won him the game. I think he would have lost to Danielle, since most of his votes were actually anti-Dan votes.

I wonder -- I think Danielle would still have lost, by virtue of being "pulled along" by Dan, and even Shane. She won stuff, but got very little credit. Ian looks more like a gamer, which I think they tend to want to reward.

ALTHOUGH, if Danielle had managed to stop trusting Dan for 10 seconds, that might have turned people toward her. If she had won the first part of the HoH, would the jury have known that? Hmm.

kat,

yeah, I know you like her. I have never warmed up to her at all.

I think it would have been really close, either way. I figure Danielle would have had Shane and Dan's vote, but Ian probably would have gotten Ashley and Brittany's vote. Jen, Frank and Joe all seemed to be voting against Dan more than for Ian, though, and at least Jen and Frank didn't seem to like Ian that much.

I honestly can't believe I am thinking this much/at all about Big Brother.

Somehow this season has made me thinkier than other recent ones.

SYTYCD: As much as I love seeing the all-stars, I would really like to not have all-stars next year and instead see more of the contestants dancing with each other.

Also, awards!

Hah. I am completely with most of what you wrote, but especially the last section. I liked Alison in her season, but she's amazing these days! And always happy to see Alex. How about just all stars being awesome together, featuring Alex and Alison, and Mark, and Melanie, and all kinds of other folks....

Now I really want a two hour between seasons all-star special.

Can someone make that happen?
