Oh my goodness I haven't laughed so hard in a good while as when Sylvia defined "askew" as being "not orthogonal."

That was great. And the next definition probably wasn't any more helpful: "Not 90 degrees."

Obviously Sylvia doesn't work in the Southeast where we would simply say: "Hey man, that ain't straight."

That was priceless wasn't it? I'm hoping there will be some interesting personalities that I can root for and enjoy this season. It's been awhile since they've had people entertaining enough to get excited about.

I liked Cowboy from last season for that reason. A colorful character. Rudy, Boston Rob, Susan, Rupert, just a handful of people you either love or hate but they never were boring.
