Thats great! Awesome!
What happened to Miss Copy and Paste from yesterday? LOL
notice they took down the whole ratings article from yesterday?? hey Miss Carina (yes, of the "cut-and-paste" variety), if you can't take the heat then GET OUT OF THE KITCHEN!! which i guess she did...thank you, Rick is back.
on a ratings note, "The Bachelorette" is sure pulling down some good ratings (especially for the summertime). and i'm always happy when "Big Bang Theory" out-rates "2 1/2 Men."
haha, you noticed it too, now she has some cut and paste article about the view. not sure why preta is too good to work everyday, so we have to get stuck with ms cut and paste.
You know how cute and paste was deleting comments yesterday, maybe she deleted the whole article instead. Poor thing.
The Bachelorette series, which I love, was a huge winner last night in both categories but I'm especially happy for True Beauty and its new champion, Taylor. Can't wait for his People Magazine debut.
Taylor, you seem so full of yourself don't ya? As for ****/DONNA/Pierre...well, enough said since she keeps saying stupid things on a daily basis.
I never liked Frank from Day 1 - can't understand how he made it to the final three. Hope Ali can now see him for what he was. Connections are not everything.
