<we'll see Giada back - and not Linda. our Joe liked them both - however - Linda in David's eyes 'gave me the boot'>
But on the other side of the coin, would a girl who got booted by David even want to come back? (assuming she gets a choice, which I don't know.) Plus, ratings-wise, Giada was kind of a boring character, while Linda was the girl David really liked, and would make for a more fairy-tale ending.

Good point about Olinda. While she was a total b!tch, she was definitely entertaining, and added a lot to the Cat storyline. I wonder if they did make some kind of deal about her; she didn't seem all that surprised or upset at being eliminated tonight, and quite honestly, I was expecting her to be booted after making fun of David for saying grace on their group date several episodes ago.

Another thing to ponder about Olinda-- I didn't think much of this until after she had said it 3 or 4 different times, but did anyone notice she kept talking about "the diamond ring"? It sort of made me start to wonder. Olinda's obviously very hip to a lot of American things, like you said. Her english is very good, etc. She wasn't disappointed to get booted, even though she kept saying how much she like David. And she kept saying it like that- the diamond ring. Do you think maybe Olinda knew about the money being fake? Just a thought, but all those little things about her and the way she kept saying it- like a diamond ring was a given- made me wonder if she might have seen the first JM (when Zora was given the ring at the end), and gotten on the show anyway.

Oh yeah. And welcome to the forums! Glad to have you with us, vilkas.

Woah. I didn't mean to write a novel there.
