    - Come on. There was maybe 5 or 6 awful personalities. And they have literally been voted off one after the other this season. (spoils) - Jovian Mar 26, 06:59 3
      - My main problem is they are all so dumb. Kim (a few seasons ago) realized this and crushed. No one in the past few seasons can play, at all. -- nm - MDH Mar 26, 07:05 2
        
        I disagree with that. A lot. I think there is some good play this season. We saw a lot of it last night. (spoils) - ???? Mar 26, 07:13

    - Oh yeah, and Sierra. I like her too. -- nm - ???? Mar 26, 06:52 1

    - Right, I haven't seen any below $35 in a long time. I usually expect to pay $40. -- nm - David Mar 26, 06:54 1

- This is so sad. -- nm - kelly Mar 26, 05:25
- ugh -- nm - prayformojo Mar 26, 05:02 4
