Ok, we all have one point so far. (not a contest or anything).

There certainly WAS a surprise elimination. But I'm willing to speculate that it would be nice if they could follow suit like the other shows and bring Linda back into the game! oh well.

My next 2 picks:
Olinda (finally?)
Anique

What's gonna happen when Giada leaves?
She claims she will blow up!
Has David caught on that she's pretty needy yet?

Evil Queen in Disguise

Olinda! I really, really hope she goes. I can't believe he kept her yet again. If he wanted someone with a fun personality around, he should have kept Aleissa.

Giada... she is so needy. And of course we don't see everything that goes on, but I haven't really seen her do or say much of anything (except whine).

Who is the girl who is yelling "I hate you!" over and over in the beginning clips?

Anyway, it's two hours tonight. Any idea how many Europets are going home? Think it will be boring runners' up types like Giada.

I've been trying to figure that out too. From her hair/the back of her head, I think it looks sort of like Petra, but she doesn't seem the type.

Sentence first. Verdict afterwards.

Exactly, Tiger Lil. I thought either Petra or Teresa (who has been eliminated, so it's not her). Probably not even aimed at David; it smacks of that "out of context sounds juicer than really is" soundbitery Fox features.

i dunno. this show hasn't really "got me" like last year's did. i can't even seem to remember who's left?!?

but i'd say giada, olinda, cat, krystin, and all the rest of the gang will go over the course of this evening

F3 -- petra, anique, and olinda

(he HAS to keep olinda. otherwise this show would be too damn boring!)

Who's left:
Anique
Petra
Cat
?????

My guess is that 2 are out by the end, so they will be down to the final 2 for the last 2 eps.
Out: Cat, Anique
In: Linda

LAST EDITED ON 11-11-03 AT 12:27 PM (EST)

Linda is the only return bearing a frisson of interest; all the others were rejected for good reason (well, I felt bad for Teresa, but anyway) and none of them made good tv.

Barring Linda's return, I see Anique as our 2003 winner. She loves them horses, she is truly feeling "things" for David, and she didn't lie about smoking (I think if Petra were to be our Zora this year they would not have made such a point of emphasizing her fib).

I wanted to root for Cat because OldLinda was being such a cow but there is something a tad off-putting about her. I think she'll scare David off with the octopus fingers.

I was mildly surprised to see OldLinda go (not as surprised as the fact that she'd sit in the open daylight without her eye makeup - horrorshow! - but surprised); I thought she'd be like MoJo last year, hanging in like a cold sore to annoy me until third place or so.

Petra was my favorite until she lied about smoking. I think it would be obvious that she is a smoker unless she uses a lot of perfume to cover up the odor. It was a stupid thing to lie about since all the remaining girls were smokers anyway. It was funny how they editing in scenes of her smoking alongside her denial.

I was worried that David would keep Olinda on after he kept talking about how real she is, how nice, how sweet, how he thought she wasn't a gold digger, etc. Maybe her almost cutting him during the gladiator date did her in. Although that was about the only time during the show that I could actually stand her!

I have no idea who David will choose to return. I am hoping that Kristyna and Petra gave him enough clues about the reason for Linda not wanting to stay. I was surprised that Kristyna was surprised when she got eliminated after the way her date with David went (at least what we saw of it). You can tell he is still torn up over Linda wanting to leave. I had hoped Cat would mention something about how mean some of the girls are and how they make it hard to stay. I am not sure David will be able to swallow his pride and ask Linda to return. I think the show's producers added this element to make it more interesting and to get viewers to tune in especially now that some of the more colorful women have left. I think many people will tune in just to see who it is that he chooses to return. I really liked Linda though and hope it is her. I'd like her to get another chance and to go on at least one date alone with David.
