Hey Aaron, How you put up with site politics, I'll never know. Rather obvious, isn't it? I was thinking, you should have come to the Idol forums this year, it shocked me how different the tone was to Big Brother. I used to go on all the BB forums, but they're all the same in the end and I feel like I'm 12 years old. But the official forum site for Idol was really good, so I guess as you said before, Big Brother has a certain kind of nastiness to it because of the what the show is like. I hate how nasty Big Brother has become, if it wasn't so nasty then we wouldn't have to worry about those poor souls who go in to get slaughtered by everyone. I wanted to go on it after I saw the first season, but I'd never dream of doing it now. Anyway, I know you're a busy man so I'll be off. I really enjoy what you bring to these shows and I think there's obviously alot of people out there who appreciate the difference.Take care and keep writing! xo Rachel Thanks Rachel, Actually, I did find a thread on Idol (because it had linked to here - which amazed me that it was permitted, to be honest) and I was strangely impressed by the discussion I found (generally, when a referer link comes up, I think, "Here we go, this'll be good!"). Even those who disagreed with what I was saying were doing it in a manner which I'm not familiar with on most of the sites around those shows (I didn't devote too much time to Idol, this year, it was during my last job where I had no time to keep the site going and engage TV). So, I acknowledge that there was at least a slightly "higher" tone on that site, this year. A good thing, to be sure. I have noticed before, though, that one thing this site does is to section people off more into those they barrack for (this thread was in the Matt section), so maybe that has something to do with it, there's less "in the ring" mentality. But thanks for your kind words, much appreciated. Aaron
