Those that have seen the 1982 Battlestars finale know that, as per a question on that show, Donny was tired by then of being teased(he was in his early 20s then) because of his smile.

I don't agree, necessarily. I think you'd see more contestants giving if not for the "celebrities bring briefed" garbage, but with that it's a no-brainer...you can either receive and get an advantage, or give and you're on your own. Even I would receive given those conditions, unless I was paired with a particularly 'tarded celebrity like Arianna Huffington or Jillian Barbarie, and under the Clark rules I'd give every day and twice on Sunday.
But I'll shut up, as I'm sure people are getting tired of me yammering on about how I don't like the show.

Chris...I am not tired of hearing your comments...maybe it's because I agree with them! :-D
As a matter of fact, I was really hoping that the number of comments about this briefing business would prompt some sort of reply from the Pyramid staffers who read this board.
I'd be interested to hear an explanation as to why they feel it's necessary to do this...especially now that Pyramid has established itself somewhat. They did find some good celebs during season one (Debra Jo Rupp, Debra Wilson, Rosa Blasi... among others). It just seems like the easy way out to me...like it's easier to settle rather than try to find good players.

Not only did they find some good players last year, but I've seen at least a couple new ones this year who were good. Tracey Ross from Soap Week and Mario from Food Week should be invited back.

Well, thanks, but I do feel like I'm being repetitive. I can only say that I'm annoyed by the haphazard judging and lame writing and offended by the celebrity briefings so many different ways. :)
