Random thoughts... Is this the first season they have skipped the family visit? Strange that we don't get one this season, particularly since Jeff loves them so much. I can't help wonder why it didn't happen this season. I haven't seen anything yet about voting for fan favorite. I wonder if they are skipping that this season also? Interesting.

I don't know about any of that. I'm so excited for tonight's show and the upcoming finale! I'll be disappointed when it's over though.

I think one of Jeff's blogs said they didn't do the family visit this season to mix it up a bit - the contstants always assume that about 3/4 through they have a family visit, so this time they didn't.

Thanks Kitt I didn't remember Jeff saying that. But I still wonder because the last few seasons Jeff has come out and stated how much he loves the family visits. He would start by saying "I know many of you hate the gushing etc... But I love it and it will always have 'em" (paraphrase)

I don't think we had them last season either! That is a lot of airfare money for 15 or 20 minutes of film -

I may be wrong but I heard that since they were filming S19 and S20 back to back (10 days apart) they were already preparing for the next season to be filmed in Samoa and the new contestants were already arriving. They didn't want to complicate things with the additional family.

Tntitan... they did have a family visit last season. That was the memorable season when Taj went crazy and nearly ripped Jeff's arm off on hearing that her husband was on location and she got to take him to exile island with her. Askme... that sounds like a logical explanation.

I'm not a huge Russell fan, but if he would kick Coach in the nenes til he cries on camera, I would become his biggest supporter.

I AM a Russell fan! I do chuckle at Goddess's comment because even non Russell fans here at TVCH didn't like Coach!
