Just got tired of watching all the drama in the show, so now I record it and fast forward to the ending to see what all the contestants made and who wins? Which is all I'm really interested in anyway! Not to mention this way I also skip all those stupid commercials too, I may of put up with watching the drama if there wasn't so many commercials along the line too!
