I willing to watch too and let it grow on me, but I loved the format and a bit sad to see it changed. Maybe in a few weeks it might go back to normal, that's what I'm hoping for. Also I was hoping they would show how they chose the final 18 I really enjoyed that part of the show last season... Gosh I miss Joshua he made the show. I need to watch another Joshua he was the best.

I hated the new format too. Doesn't it go against what the show is supposed to be about? I don't see how either side is going to benefit from this. I don't like the new elimination either, this isn't Jeopardy. I hope they pair them up soon.

It looks like TPTB are hoping for more drama by doing this, and I think that's a big mistake. I don't want to see the 2 black girls go at it every week, that will get old real fast. The show worked as-is, there was no need to change it. I hope this doesn't ruin it.

Hey, is this going to get moved into the main page of shows, like it normally is?
Thanks.

Well, that bombed. And I really enjoyed this show in the past.

I have a great idea for a new show: a bunch of professional football players will compete against a bunch of paraplegic schoolchildren.

In the first competition, they will see which group can climb a mountain faster. To even the playing field, the football players will have to wear spike heels.

Oh, well, I'm getting kinda used to not watching prime time television. One less show to worry about.

Leticia seems like the only really admirable girl, and most of this season's load of Geeks are just annoying, so there doesn't seem to be that much compelling us to watch.

I mean Leticia will likely be manipulated/voted off as being too smart, so we will just have a bunch of dumb bunnies left.

Maybe the new elimination format will prevent that.

Will I sound like a rube or a subtle racist of some type if I confess that I'd never met, seen, or heard of any non-African American woman named "Leticia" before this show?

And yet a quick Google search shows its a Latin name.

Guess I don't get around much.

This show's Leticia is very easy to find in Google. You don't even need her last name, because Googling "Leticia" calls her up third on the results list:

No, not racist. But obviously not a fan of Aaron Spelling's best work.

Probably not, radar. We don't have any writers available to cover the show. I did it last season, but I'm covering the winter Big Brother.

Thanx for this response. Now I know what "....Shows Were Covering" means.
