Thanks for the news. I will get to see the show at 1:36 a.m. here. Thanks for trying to help Vickie, but I don't get that channel.

Thanks for the spoiling everyone! I can still donate to Torrie's charity so hope she considers that a win and realizes that people really enjoyed watching her. Yay and congrats to Lou! You go, Pappa!!

Serate, me too! I also loved her charity. I really saw all of these people in a different light and grew to love all of them. John had some great loving moments with Patti and the rest, too bad he showed so many negative things. I esp hated what a poor sport he was. Making excuses for why he may not win in comps and then winning them. LOL I wanted Torre but am happy for Lou, he seemed to be the best leader there for sure. I wish the best for everyone on the show.

I must confess I'm quite biased when it comes to Torrie's Charity. My hubby has been a member of Disabled American Veterans since he came home from Iraq in 1991. I've been a member of Disabled American Veterans Auxiliary since we married in 2004.

Yep, Speidi was there. Thankfully, they weren't a big part of the show. The main focus was on the final three, but they talked to each of the former contestants as well. It was kinda mean making them go through all that gross business for that last food challenge, especially since they were each doing something different. Still, I had a feeling they'd all get fed in the end. They were good sports.

Congratulations, Lou! I enjoyed the show. It was nice to meet Patti and Torie, see Lou's calm maturity, and I even liked John. Sure he had his trying moments, but who doesn't? I don't really like watching people eat bugs or having to roll around in snake pits, though. It was nice to see people working on interpersonal relationships without the mean-spiritedness and backstabbing like on Survivor or Big Brother. (Well, except for their inability to handle the crazy aunt.)

I enjoyed the show but found the final 3 episodes rather boring. Maybe because I wasn't really interested in what those who were left had to say, not that I didn't like them, I was hoping Lou or Torrie would win. I was disappointed Frangela weren't there as well as I was hoping they would talk about Stephen's bugs. Not that I wanted to see them but acknowledge them.

Very boring show. So glad this is over. If I am every tempted to watch another, please remind me what a waste of time this season was! I seem to recall enjoying season 1 much better.

I was surprised at how much I enjoyed this show. It wasn't brilliant but it was better than I expected and the contestants for the most part (with two big exceptions) were pretty nice and entertaining.

they should have had this a 2 hr show, what a waste to fly all of them back in and not really talk to them. I wanted to know if Holly was getting her showmance, about Stephen's bugs, and see some comedy from Frangelina. I was very happy to see John was a gracious loser. My2cents makes good points about him, we probably saw all of his bad moments and some of his good ones. I still dont like some of his comments but wish him well. This show could have been so much better.

I felt so proud of Sanjaya. Out of 14 tasks, he won 11!!! He really was fun to watch. I was rooting for him to win.

i liked it too. Never did watch the first one but don't really why they need to make every trial so digusting! I would rather see less of that and more like Survivor kind of challenges. Also, I don't think men vs women is really fair as the men dominated on this show.

Enjoyed the show but the finale was very drawn out. They could've wrapped this puppy up in the final 10 minutes Tuesday instead of coming back again last night

I hate their icky trials. We can do without the endless spiders, snakes, whatever. I think it would be more interesting if the contestants nominated two people and then we voted. At least we'd get some strategy and scheming. Agree, to the men vs women was very unfair. Most of the challenges favoured the men's strength.

"I think it would be more interesting if the contestants nominated two people and then we voted." I liked the way they did the vote. We are the ones watching the show and we should be the ones to decide which contestants we enjoy watching the most, and getting rid of the ones we don't. "men vs women was very unfair." True! If they ever have another show they should have both men on women on the same team. The shopping challenge with the plastic fruits on a line were hung too far for Holly to reach, if they had hung them wihin her reach she may have won.

Have to agree with Willsfan about the voting system. I never liked the whole alliance idea. When Richard Hatch came up with that on Survivor, everyone hated him for it. The votes were no longer an honest reflection of people's choices, but the result of what the alliance's leader wanted. Ever since then every reality show contestant has used the same alliance strategy. It makes things too predictable and clique-ish. If I were to change one thing, it might be to take away any chance for immunity. I guess the grossness of the challenges was supposed to play up the idea of celebrities being subjected to horrendous experiences. A little of that goes a long way, though. They could make challenges that are really grueling without being disgusting. I suspect they used the creepy crawlies so much because it was probably cheaper than setting up more elaborate challenges.

I can't believe that I ended up loving Sanjaya on this show. He would be great on Survivor. He could outwit, outplay, and outlast many people. I want to know if he got any closer with Holly. He is really a great kid with a kind heart. I hope he is able to stay close to Lou.

I also couldnt believe how much I liked Sanjaya! I thought the last meal challenge was so contrived - and then the foods they got?! I think they must've had a list to pick from! (what no filet? no lobster? ok so they were vegetarians!) Patti Blago said she lost 12# and she wanted Chicago RIBS as her first meal!!

I adored Sanjaya and wanted him for the win almost from the very start. He would be great on Survivor. Wander if Mark Burnett reads what we write? How about a Celebrity Survivor. I could really get into that.
