I hope the reunion show is good. I thought the wrap up of the finale felt very cut-off.

I think it will be good, there are some explosions I'm looking forward to this season. I really don't like how they changed the final contestants from 2 to 3. If there was anyone I ever wanted to see get done like Flavor did New York, it's the gorgon. All the same, I'm pleased to see it turn out the way it did! Such a well deserved win.

The Salon.com Conversations podcast posted an interview with Chef Tom.  I haven't listened to it yet but it's 30min. so might have some interesting stuff.

My favorite quote from the reunion: Andrew "I haven't played Advanced Dungeons & Dragons in years"

Richard's dream about having sex with his wife and then Mark walking in was the creepiest.

too much spliced in laughter in not-that-funny poaces in the show. 
Breakfast- I'm havin' a time
Wheelies- I'm havin' a time
Headlocks- I'm havin' a time
Drunk Tank- not so much a time
George St.- I'm havin' a time
Brenda- I'm havin' a time
Bingo- I'm havin' a time
House Arrest- I'm still havin' a time

It was way too anti-climactic. This would have been muuuuuch better if they did it before the finale. They were all in Puerto Rico, apparently! They could've done it right there. You can bet, with Lisa still in the running, there would have been a lot more bitchery.

Agreed, Laurie.

How about that love connection? I'm sure her connect ran out and she needs to hook up with a new "conductor".

i agree, Laurie.  reunion before the finale is always better.  you can see the bitterness in each of their smug faces while talking about why they were judged off the show and no-goods like Lisa are still on.

That was really the only Bravo reunion show I've enjoyed.

I didn't know what to expect, and I didn't like what I got.  Although I thought Dale was cute talking about his mummy and church.
