i'm taking the season off...

I think it's become obvious that I'm going to put this blog on hiatus for season nine. There are many reasons I need a break from blogging this show, not the least of which is that I've been doing it since season three, and I've pretty much just run out of things to say.

I want to thank those of you who have stopped by every single week of every single season that I've been here. I probably would have retired after season five if it hadn't been for the faithful and fun people that I've gotten to know through this blog. Comments have been disabled for awhile because I couldn't keep up with the spam, and they will continue to be off.

I don't know how much I will watch of this season, but I do know that I'll be hanging out at Dave's blog because he is, after all, the High Lord and an excellent critic, writer and friend. So I really hope you will join me there.

Thanks again for your loyalty and your friendship. I hope this season is entertaining, filled with good talent, interesting people and shocking eliminations, because of course the best thing about this show is watching people virtually implode when their favorite falls in fourth!
