Where are you finding this picture? All I can see is the headshot - everything else is from this season. ☹

When he was actually on live. He was wearing a “traditional” prisoner costume, with the stripes, and a cute little pillbox style hat (or whatever the male prisoner equivalent is), with his prisoner number stencilled across his chest. Positively precious. He can be my prisoner of love anytime. _Call me, Ian!_

(FWIW, Jenna Morasca was also in costume, as … herself as a blonde, apparently. She kind of looked like a $2 Atlantic City hooker, but that’s kind of par for the course, for her. Although, she did have all her clothes on, which is a bit unusual in Jennaland.)

Oh, and **middleman**? You rock my socks. I swear to Cecil, you really do. All you guys do, actually. I am totally going to have the _Best. Funeral. **Ever!** _ I have the music picked out already, too. Do we all like AC/DC? Because I don’t think there is any better kick-ass funeral music in the world than Howlie singing “Amazing Grace,” followed immediately by _Back in Black_ on the stereo with the volume turned up to “Demolition.”

Gretchen & Meredith had the broken elephant. But it was Colin who uttered the absolute best line in the absolute best moment in the entire history of television and maybe the Universe itself: “My ox is BROKEN! This is BULLSHIT!” This was shortly followed by: “Oh my God, I HATE you!” He was crying when he said it. _Crying!_ It was _sublime_. (To this day, “My ox is broken” is my default excuse for when something doesn’t get done correctly, on time, or at all.)

He was given a second chance because he was never voted off, or so goes the official party line.

If that’s the case, though, where’s that dude who fell in the fire in one of the earlier seasons?

Michael Skupin. I was hoping to see him on All-Stars, but he wasn’t there. I would have liked to see him get another chance, rather than _some_ of the jerks :: cough:: Boston Rob ::cough:: they had on it.

Yes, **rockle** _is_ kinda scary, but **rockle** also knows how to share, and wouldn’t want Ian to end up with some ungrateful tall woman just because she herself was dead.

Or, at least, that’s what I will continue to tell myself.

Hey, I’ve seen _Ghost._ Just because I’m dead doesn’t mean I can’t have any _fun_, you know? And if **Draelin** doesn’t mind sharing, neither do I.

Don’t worry, I can fix this …

\*I’m Henry the Eighth, I am!  
Henry the Eighth I am, I am  
I got married to the widow next door,  
She’s been married seven times before!  
'Round here, everyone is an Henry  
Wouldn’t have a Willie or a Sam (no Sam!)  
I’m her eighth old man named Henry  
Henry the Eighth I am, I am,  
Henry the Eighth I am!  
\*

Yes, I hate me for that, too.

Yours is better than mine. I’ve been singing “We are Flintstones kids, ten million strong and growing” for the last two days. Needless to say, I would very much like to kill myself.

I hate you now. That’s what I always get stuck - damn TV commercial snippets. This one’ll never leave.

There is one particular 80’s Saturday Morning commercial that is so evil, even _I_ will not utter it aloud–despite the fact that it’s already stuck in my head.

Don’t do it. I’m warning you.

I’m really glad they made the Children’s Aid Society.

I looked at the spoiler box, and … _I don’t know that one!_ _ **Bwahahahahahahahahahahaha!** _

But some days – _not today, thankfully_ – I can remember all the words to the voice-over at the beginning of the Masters of the Universe cartoon, _and_ the words to the theme song from Jem. Sometimes, _both at the same time._

\*It’s a world of laughter  
A world of tears  
It’s a world of hopes  
And a world of fears  
There’s so much that we share  
That it’s time we’re aware  
It’s a small world after all \*  
Thank you.

never saw the show, but remember the commercial.

Gem is outrageous,  
She’s truly, truly, truly, outrageous.

I think these threads are way more interesting than this show, anyone with me?
