I am amazed that Megan asked Conda to be a bridesmaid.

That says a lot. Part of me thinks that the difference between being on this show and watching it is like being in combat and talking about what you would do if you were in combat.

I have never been in the army, so I have no clue what combat is like. I think by analogy, being on the show must be way different than what we are all led to believe by watching. I mean, Conda voted you off, Megan? You like her that much?

I am thinking the reason they voted off Megan, in part, may be because they have too many placeholders. They came so close to getting Buddy. Megan blew their chances to vote him off this week.

With Chris, Conda and Megan still playing, one of them had to take up one spot below the yellow line thus reducing the chances for all who have a chance to be the biggest loser to one of two spots below the yellow line.

Thus, getting rid of Megan increases the chance that Bud, Kim, Jeremy or Mark could fall below next week.

Chris should have asked Jeremy for his stove spot, I agree. And, yes, she should have cut the chicken into small pieces first. Change the dish to a cassarole or something. Better yet, run outside and ask for space on the barbeque. Telling the judges you needed more time is an excuse. I am not sure it has anything to do with her personality or not, it could.

I think Antone got carried away with his job. Vinnie and Becky had the right idea.

Speaking of Antone, Vinnie and Becky, I wonder if the producers may have been looking to give them a belated consolation prize. They all came very close to winning money last season, and missed. Perhaps the producers paid them something for their appearance. I would like to think that.

I have to say, this is definitely the worst season I have seen, but the producers did make a good investment of those 18 days they took earlier in the show to improve the interpersonal dynamics. Between editing and acting, Conda is looking almost saintly. She calls everyone friend, crys when she votes for them, has lots of positive things to say about people... I am now seeing this season as two halves. The first half, which was horrible, and the second half, which is a major improvement. I am not fooled (the first half was that bad) but I do give them credit.
