Dawn Marie rocked tonight! I thought she'd freak being in that straightjacket with her claustrophobia but she pulled it off. Great job....looks like Uncle Mike is taking the walk of shame...oh wait, wrong reality show

Hi PBNJ, I created a thread at the same time you were posting in this one. Our posts paralled each other almost down to the wire, LOL! Isn't tonight a grand episode? Go Cousin Mike!

I'm on the west coast so I had to come here and find out who was sent to the kitchen. Yahoo!!! I'm glad it was Uncle Mike. I don't want this show to end. Go Cousin Mike!!!!

I was howling when Dawn Marie disappeared into her bag. It was just SO not 'her' to dive right in and go all out! I wish she'd gone a little faster with her coins though. She was giving me heart palpitations.

hi guys! Hermione, it's so bizarre that you posted. I was just on the BB board and realized I hadn't seen any posts from you. I began wondering what the heack happened to you. You're one of my favorite posters *kiss kiss* I like your Clayadulation :) I was a Claymate lurker (btw, when does his album come out?) Funny we were posting at the same time.

kathyb....I was surprised too when dawn disappeared....I really didn't expect her to get out of it and especially not FIRST! and yes, I was panicking when she took her time doing the coins and then the guys teamed up to beat her. Talk about sweaty palms! For Dawn it was awnnnnn! LOVED IT! best eppy yet

What was it that Dawn said in the voice over??..."I didn't run, but I used a brisk stride"...something like that...? What a hoot!!

I loved that Dawn won and put Ed and Uncle Michael on the block. Good for her. I hated how Uncle Michael was helping Ed with his piggy bank - that didn't seem fair.

I'm a little worried because it seems to me, that from the previews for next week, that it looks like Dawn Marie and Cousin Mike are sitting on the elimination bench.

oh nooo, I didn't catch that crazydog. Who do you think will be voted back in? does the 'dark side' have more voters? (aunt donna, uncle mike, anthony, etc) wonder how that will work out....

kelli....dawn was so funny...that really was a nailbiter. I kept screaming 'RUN, grab more coins!!!' She did say something like what you said....she was really hilarious in how she savored that win. She worked hard for it! :)

Brisk stride?? Snort..

Crazgdog, I thought I saw on the previews too that Dawn Marie and Cousin Mike were on the hot seat. Could it be that Ed won the last competition? hmmm.... Much as I like Dawn, I hope Cousin Mike doesn't get eliminated.

yup for sure, Dawn Marie is a total giggle, but if it came down to her and Cousin Mike, it'd be "off to the kitchen with yee wench!"

Dawn, again with a malapropism, said...."I walked with stride" !!! I think she meant walked with pride. She is a trip.

Cousin Mike will survive the staffs choice against Dawn, I think, which is fine with me. I would love to see Dawn walk off with the mil but I can't see her winning the final competition against anyone. Cousin Mike has a running chance.

What is the final competition? I thought the SBoT picked the final winner. Is there more involved?

I watched my tape again, in particular the preview for next week. Dawn Marie and Mike sit down on the two center white covered seats, but I'm not sure if that's the elimination bench. Looks different. The entire room looks different, the angle is different, so maybe that's not the elimination. Unless it is the eliminated people gathering together to choose someone to put back in. Still holding out hope that Ed doesn't win amongst the final three.

Hermi, I think the board picks betwen the final two to leave just one person standing. Then the family picks one to put back in and those two go head to head at "something" for the money.

remember, it's a double elimination next week....I have a feeling based on the preview, Ed is the first one eliminated, and then they reveal the BOT to the family. That's probably why DM and CM are on the benches...after the reveal, they have to plead their case to them, before the Board decides on their finalist. And after that, THEN the family decides who comes back in the game, and then those two compete for the money....The reason the board has no say in the final competion is simple; why would the board give the money to a person who they already voted out, against their hand picked person? It wouldn't make sense, so there has to be some sort of competition to decide it. So it's the board's decision vs the family''s decision...which is a fitting end to it.

I love this show!! I think it is great the way the have planned the how the end will play out. I agree with Wilson that it will be more fair to have a final comp than a vote.
I was thinking that Uncle Mike might be the one voted back in but then I remember the interview with one of the producers and he mentions something like a surprise at who is voted back in, this makes me think maybe it is Dawn Marie.

This show has been so entertaining, I hope all of the family gets something, just for the fun they provided!!

I would love to see a reunion show!! But we can forget that since ABC is too dense to know they had a huge hit on their hands!

Thanks, didn't know the time change.

I have some keys that dont work, coffee fell on it. Bear with me.

Who do yo think the family will vote back in? *rodcers often cry s**r*rize when, in fact, it is not. B*t going with that who wo*ld shock *s? Any of them really. I wo*ld be S*r*rized to see Jill or Maria beca*se they seem so *nlikely and yet so in Dawn. Donna wo*ld be a shocker too.

I am interested to see the voting *rocess. It will be hysterical. They all want to go back in. I can see many votes of one.

I think the family will vote Uncle Mike back in as the strongest competitor who can keep the money in the family and away from outsider Cousin Mike.

I hope not though. I would rather see it be between Cousin Mike and Jill or Dawn or even Maria
