Totally agree, especially about casting Stephanie in her place.

Lovable is much too strong a term but he had this "abandoned puppy" story that got way too much inportance. He thought he was good at this game but failed the first time. It happens so let's see if he learned something. In the same category, I'd have chosen Spencer though.

Totally agree on both.
When will CBS realize that the Hantz clan is pestilence? Only if we ignore them so this is the last I'll say on the nephew.

First boot...A wasted spot. So many better choices could have been made here.

An Insider clip showed Corinne saying that the Marcus-Jacquie connection would be dangerous so she did have some game. I'd like to see her play in a season when the main theme wasn't to turn Sugar into a sweetheart.

I can't agree here. She got the boot because she tried to turn the tables on Sash and misread Na'Onka. Who knew that Na'Onka was on a suicide mission that would destroy the season at the same time?

I'm ok with seeing her back but Peih Gee and Tracy would have been slightly better choices.

The best choice of all, I think. There was something wrong with that kid but he was fun.

Well, we knew he'd be back so let's hope he learned something...besides redeeming his edit.

Ils sont fous, ces Romains!
