No major thoughts on ratings yet, because I plan to watch the episode again either tonight or in the morning. Does anyone recall when our ratings our due for this episode?

Also, let me note that, despite seeing Marisa again (*fans self*) that finale preview was the shittiest thing that this rather craptacular season has given us. Really, that's supposed to make me want to tune in for the finale? Really???
Another side note: Kelly is one smokin' girl. I loooooovvvvved her outfit at TC tonight, though I wish she had saved it for the FTC so we could get a better view of it in all its glory. <3


From my point of view, I think that the main contenders (even if you extend those to anyone who's not Brett) pretty much continued what they've already started. Jaison continued in his rehearsed confessionals filled with slightly P content, Russell continued his monotony of CPN domination, and Mick continued his relentlessly MOR drive straight into the finale (and thanks to all the SPV that involved more than just his name - we learned a lot about what others think of Mick as a player and person this episode, as compared to SPV about sending Kelly home at the F11 - he is not UTR).
However, Natalie turned her edit in a completely new direction. I think that OTTP is applicable at first glance, though CPP may be a fit upon a second viewing. While she stayed within the "I am letting myself be played by Russell" yet distancing herself from him as a P character region, she transcended her season-long UTR status to become a truly large character.

What does this mean??? As Blake said earlier, the penultimate episode says a lot; unfortunately, we don't know exactly what it says. We can look at past winners' patterns and figure them out, but I think that Natalie is being dangled before us as bait to distract us from the other winner. Either Mick will triumph as one of the most UTR male winners we've had, possibly due to Russell's overabundance of visibility and possible domination at a FTC, or Jaison will emerge as a slightly skewed but more traditional CP male winner.

The fact that we're convinced Natalie is with Russell 100% going into the finale and that Brett winning IC's is the only thing to prevent it makes me worry that the finale won't be as simple as her waltzing into the FTC and traipsing out with the money.

Buuuutttt... I thought the same thing with Bob.
