I also read that "Journeyman, The 4400 and Dead Zone have been officially cancelled. And also that even if the strike ended very soon that they wouldn't have time to write, approve and film many TV episodes if any at all. So looks like there won't be any new episodes of the Fall shows. Clare

I'm happy with the outcome also. Although, Keith was my first choice all the way. I say stay out of the audience. Talk to the finalists and the jury. I also think Missy should have been pulled, absolutely, totally unfair for someone to stay who can't even compete. That was total BS. Raven, I said the same thing to DH, Alec looks like he just smoked a fattie and is higher than a kite. But, he looked like that the entire time, at all the tribals, at ponderosa and at the finale. Dude needs to concentrate hard on closing his mouth. Absolutely LOVED Reed's speech. He was spot on. I choked when Missy sat there and said I had all my alliance people in line and told them all what to do and how to vote.....puh-lease! haha Can't wait til Feb! Thank goodness no returning players.
