"Yes, we really had to edit out some of the things that some of the contestants were trashtalking to the kids. If I had been able to kick some of them off for that, I would have."

WHAT????
I thought it was his call and he could get rid of whomever he wanted, whenever he wanted...
Isn't this whole show pretty much based on his whims???? (Unless he'd have to get rid of the whole blue team?)

He says in another part of the blog that the challenges are set and don't change.

The first show he set it up to remove 3 players that he felt were not right in some way and that was the format for that show.

The deal with the basket ball game was the losing team had to lose one player. That was it. The game had to complete.

He is not doing this on a whim. The challenges are in place and the eliminations are based on the outcome of the task. It is his call on who completes the task to his satisfaction. But the tasks are completed.

I think Linda is the liar concerning her mother and computer skills and Spencer is the split-personality. He just seems too quiet.

Just a heads up you guys -- ABC is pre-empting "The Benefactor" tonight to show a special 20/20 -- a Barbara Walters interview with Christopher Reeve...

Ditto Lilfair.

I heard it best on some news show covering the story. Someone emailed the station, and said "at least Mr. Reeves now gets to take his request to find a cure to the Head Honcho."

RIP Superman.

Pamy, The lie started in the episode where all of them did something risky or out of their box. We don't know yet which one was lying.

I am going to assume Linda and Spencer are the final two because MC will not think handing out flowers was original enough. OR Linda behaved so poorly during the criticism round that he picks one from each team. I doubt that, but not ruling it out.

Native, I have the same thought.

My dad saw or heard MC in an interview and he said he had $100,000 in the bag and was very glad that the Nanny took the $30K because he needed it more than anybody else.

There were 4 episodes left but ABC has cut it down to two. I am disappointed but at least they did not cancel it.

Since there are only 4 players left this may not be a bad decision. The Bachelor drags terribly at the end when the numbers dwindle.

MC makes home visits with the final 2 or 4 and if those were trimmed I would not mind. The home visits for the Bach are intolerably dull.

I think it is possible that the lie and second personality emerge in a home visit. Just a hunch on my part with a touch of logic thrown in.

SPOILER for tonight's show.



Watermelon girl and Spencer got cut. Dominic was sent on an overnight trip to Cancun with his best friend and was automatically advanced to final 3. Next week's show is the home visits and the finale. MC tells the final 2 that they both lose to see how they react and then takes them back to the house and the winner's name is in an envelope. You hear a female scream Oh My God.

Anyone believe Dominic didn't know Mark was watching...He knew and this is Mark's way of an excuse why Dominic wins this "game"...I use that word loosly here because with MC picking who stays and who goes it is very subjective...

do you think if it had been someone else left out of the two teams...they would have been kept and sent to Cancun?

Just my opinion...but I think the fix is in...I say the final two will be Athletic girl and Dominic with Dominic winning. But hey...I've been wrong before..lol
