I’m with you. I liked Tammy. Gary doesn’t do it for me at all. He is unappealing in every way.

Again, maybe I like Tammy because I’ve heard her interviewed on Bob and Tom a couple of times in the last few weeks and I’ve gotten more of a feel for her true personality. I don’t think she’s any bitchier than anyone else on the show, but they wanted her to be the “Female Tony Soprano” and told her as much. That explains how they edited her bits and her time in the house.

I’m rooting for Alonzo. He’s the only one I can realistically see winning.

Heh, of course, I was shocked last year when craptacular Dat Phan won. Uh, did he even do anything after that? I haven’t heard his name since.

And oh yeah, Rich Voss----yummy. 😃

I guess there’s no accounting for taste, but for my money it was an absolute TRAVESTY that Tammy lost out, as well as an absolute TRAVESTY that Gary made it. I rated Tammy as the only real challenge to Alonzo, and Gary as clearly below Alonzo, Tammy, Kathleen, and John, being only somewhat better than Jay.

Frankly, I was shocked when those results were revealed.
