 I am from Massachusetts and will vote for Romney.  I am not a huge Romney fan but I don’t dislike him either (I think he is a good businessman and we need that), but I just can not vote for Obama.  He’s had his time and we need change and I won’t say anymore than that.  I admit I don’t really follow politics all that much as I do not believe what most politicians say.  I believe they don’t represent us; they represent themselves and doing what’s best for them.  I am an independent; a free thinker.  I use my common sense on each issue and come up with what I believe in or what I think is best, not what a party thinks I should believe.  I also don’t really think there is much difference between Dems and Republicans anymore and people put too much stock in either party.  I don’t believe the Dems are for the little guy anymore either.  Instead of focusing on a particular party, we need to focus on the issues.  There is too much division and pols try to get people all riled up instead doing what’s best for us.  And that’s my own opinion.

 Bonbon, I agree 100 percent with everything you said.  And you do not have to apologize for voicing your political opinions.  This is an off topic board after all.  I am disgusted that the Dems are using women’s issues as their main platform.  Abortion, birth control.  I am not choosing my president  based on these issues.  And I am a woman.  Since the administration has not really done anything, I guess they have to try to focus on something else.

 Agreed, shadow, 100%!!!!  Sami was over-the-top cocky yesterday, and strutting around in her lingerie like she was something everybody must want was just plain laughable.

 I’m assuming they mean the time Will and Gabi slept together while they were dating a while ago; not anything they are doing now. 

 I also enjoyed the powerful scenes between Ian and Kate.  I also loved her scenes with Brady today as well.  You could just feel how sorry she was for Brady.  No agenda; just genuine sympathy for him.  

I have to say that Kate looked great today.  I liked her toned down outfit of jeans, blouse and jacket.  It was a nice change.

 I would love to see Sabrina Bryan get the last spot.  She got the boot way too soon in her season.  She was amazing and had a real shot to go all the way.  I was so stunned and upset when she was voted off.  So unfair but I have to keep reminding myself that it is a popularity contest.

I am THRILLED that Kate Gosselin is not going to be on the new season.  I kind of suspected she might be just for all the drama but am so glad I won’t have to see her face or her stomping around the floor.

I wish they did not bring back those who have already won.  It would be nice to have others get the chance.  And Kelly Monaco?  UGH!!!!!!!  Not looking forward to seeing her.  I just do not like her at all.  There is something about her that I just can’t stand.

 I so agree, Casey!  This was one of the best challenges ever!  I am soooo happy that Ven won.  That dress was stunning.  Even Heidi said that she would wear that dress.  Sanji also made a very beautiful dress but Ven’s was just spectacular.  Many of the others also did phenomenal jobs.  Hats off to their creative efforts.

I’m glad that Vanti was voted off.  I’m surprised the judges didn’t stick it to her more on the fact that she hardly used any candy.  I thought they would be pretty rough on her.  I know there’s a lot of editing for the final show, so maybe they did lay into her a little more.

I was extremely surprised that the older lady who made the apron thingy was not in the bottom.  I thought for sure that she would be in the bottom and probably going home.  I never could have guessed she’d be safe!  That thing was terrible!  It had no shape and looked just like Tim described, a kid’s craft project.  I think she just pasted the candy button strips together and threw it on the model.  Really, really bad.  I don’t think she’ll go far in this competition.

I wish it had been a two hour (or even three!) show.  I love all the shows but this one was amazing.
