I couldn't believe the show last week. The blonde ##### (Laura maybe??--the one trying, but failing, to be Simon) is the one that is responsible for Paul being voted off. She kept saying time and time again that she didn't trust him, she didn't think he was there for the right reasons, even though Lisa said time and time again that she enjoyed the time with him. She should be blaming herself, not America, for him being kicked off. Unfortunately, now the show has changed and really, it is not up to America (yes we can still vote but we are basically told who to vote for) to chose her "hubby". I don't like the new addition of them saying "you are one of my faves, so please vote for him". That really ruins the show, and I think blondie should be read the riot act. I am so looking forward to tonight.

The tone did change somewhat on last weeks show...I think because the girls were in shock and weren't really prepared for what happened. I did think it ironic that Laura and Kim were upset at America that Paul was gone, as they both had their reservations about him, and they were both vocal about it (both had criticized him the prior week). I think they pretty much believed that the bad matches would go first, then the voters would whittle down what was left of the guys Lisa liked....but the fact is, only one guy can be there at the end, and there's no way to gauge which order the others will be knocked off.

That said...I think Laura rocks...and I didn't really like or trust Paul, so if she's responsible for his early departure...go Laura!
