That episode was a total ripoff. I want the hour taken from my life back. ---

Every time someone produces a clip show, God kills a kitten. Please. Think of the kittens. ---

OTOH, we did get to see the Ball dialogue. Anyone catch this exchange (heavily paraphrased): S: Well, I think I’m going to win. I can’t see it happening. Z: I think he likes us both, but the fact that you live in LA [as does Evan, I guess] can only help you. That could break the tie. S: If he doesn’t like either of us, the he’d pick the one that lives far away, so he doesn’t have to see her. Not just a toe-slut bondage bitch. An evil and manipulative toe-slut bondage bitch making a preemptive attempt at revenge. No way she gets to win. No way. ---

I at least thought he’d pick one, and then in the next ep, he’d tell her about his money. Oh well–FOX has suckered me in, yet again. ---

98% fillers and byproducts. That was just awful. I knew the reveal wasn’t going to be tonight. I figured they’d save it for the big 2-horu episode next week. But I didn’t think they’d lame out quite that badly. As awful as Sarah is, I really do like her hairdos. ---

Sheesh, some people. 😉 I do have to say, though, that was worse than I could have imagined. Ugh. And I used to think the Survivor clip episodes were bad. This one far outdid all of them. ---

Which ho will go? Evan is the biggest ho of them all, but I guess there wouldn’t be a show without him. I think Zora is to good for him. If this show was based on honesty, I’d be cheering for her. With that said, I’ve been looking at this show as who did I dislike the most as who I thought should win. That would have been Heidi ho extraordaire. I think he’ll go with the bondage queen. ---

So is him deciding which girl and him telling her the money thing going to be the same episode or are they going to stretch that out? I haven’t watched a minute of the show, but I am curious as to how this will shake out. And I think if Fox ends up playing TOO big a trick on people that did tune in, it could really backfire. ---

I really don’t think Zora and whatsherface are quite as far away from each other in the goodgirl/bad girl spectrum as they’re made out to be (Zora clearing the table while the other girl _gasp_ smokes!) With all the dirt they’ve gotten on “Joe,” wouldn’t The Smoking Gun have found something out if he were really a millionaire? I think Fox’ll GIVE him a mill. Do they have that kind of cash? Maybe the castle, then. Or that pretty gazebo where he and Zora had the picnic. Surprise! ---

The rumour I’ve heard is that he will admit to making only 19k a year. If the girl decides to stay with him he then admits he’s doing better then that. He’s not “rich” but he’s well off. I guess he’s not a lowly construction worker after all… that’s just what I’ve been hearing. ---

On the one hand, I’m pissed that FOX is playing me like a fucking fiddle. On the other hand, I’ll keep coming back for more as long as the girls keep saying things like “I was here for love.” ---

There’s something I don’t understand. Here in the DC area they had one of the women on, Mojo I think, and she said she didn’t know about the twist until she saw the previews for the show. Was she just jerking our chains or what? Last nights show sucked though, I dont mind not finding out, I still can’t believe I’m watching this thing, but a clip show? There was so much more they could have showed like them talking. I’m guessing that something went on during one of the dates to give it away and good old Fox just didn’t want to show it. ---

She really didn’t say much except that Evan was a nice guy and all and she wasn’t upset she got the boot and that when she saw the previews she laughed about it. I wasn’t paying that much attention to it though.
