I know. Did you see last week's show? That was even worse.
Yes. As bad as it is, I'm watching anyway, having grown rather attached to the Gaghans AND the Paolos. Without them, I'm afraid my interest would lag. Having spent a month in Italy visiting friends, I fully understand the emotional nature of the Italians.
A friend of mine in CA had her entire NY-Sicilian family out for Thanksgiving. She also raises wolf-dogs and had a litter of twelve puppies, just big enough to be out of their pens on their own. Well, between the noisy family and the scampering wolf-dogs, the noisy, earthy dinner might have been taking place on the slopes of Mount Etna a thousand years ago, except we were in her lovely Victorian home. I couldn't get in a word edgewise until the huge black male 90% wolf, who looked like he just ate Red Riding Hood, sprang at my plate and downed my dinner in one gulp, in a move so swift no one actually saw it. Who but a bunch of Italians could manage and even enjoy such chaos?
So I'm rooting for the lusty, noisy Paolo family if the Gaghan's get eliminated. I have to tell you that Mama Paolo's brave attitude and leap showed the world what she's made of beneath that obligatory screechy exterior.
