"The ratings will go down (Aruba's probably gone for one) but not by much."

HaHa...great call Michel.
And it would have been true had I not overheard two women in my office yesterday morning saying they could not believe Janelle went up on the block.

My first reaction was: HUH? WHAT??
My second thought was there's no question in my mind Boogie had a lot to do with it. After going back to watch Wednesday's show, before watching yesterday's live episode, my suspicions were confirmed. Love him or hate him (I trust 99% of the viewing public would be the latter) you have to give Boogie his due...THAT BOY CAN PLAY THE GAME!

Even though the HOH competition was tailor-made for Danielle, I'll give her props because winning HOH and POV in the same week is a noteworthy feat. I was praying she wouldn't take the Maui vacation. Seeing Jenn in that spiritard would have been the most disturbing scene in Reality TV since Michael Skupin's hands were melting from the campfire mishap in Survivor: Outback.

Favorite moment from last night's episode was Janelle's matter-of-fact response to Boogie's goodbye message, "He's a Loser." Only thing better would have been her reply to the Chenbot when Julie was pressing her as to why she hit the reset button. Her appropriate response should have been something to the effect of:

"Well Julie, thanks to your horsea$$ condition if even ONE coach decides to reset ALL the coaches must enter the game as players regardless of what the others decide, what the heck difference would it have made whether I hit that darn button or not???!!!"

Hey Michel, you being a fan who gets all "warm & fuzzy" over storylines in a season, how pathetic is it that Production has to reach for an Ian/Ashley relationship to force one this season?

I'm sure they'd much rather play up the Shanielle angle, but with Shane's non-desire to wear the cheap coat named Danielle, I guess Ian/Ashley is all they got, and to add insult to injury, they throw their parents into the mix. Even this feeble attempt backfired in their faces when Ian's mom said he likes "smart girls," and Asley's mom stated she dates hunks.

With Ashley (proving to America she's as dumb as a brick) and Ian (whose physique would make an Olympic Marathon runner look buff) a water lily in the Mojave desert would have a better chance to blossom than this sappy showmance.

My wish is with Janelle's exit it might set a chain reaction for all the returning players to be gone soon...but I'm not betting on that. So, even though I did tune in this week, in all likelihood I doubt I'll be long for this season.
