Murtz: The President is so involved.
Romo: Time for final thoughts.
Final Thoughts
Ela: So this is the second chance for 24 and it was worth it just because I saw the tight shirt, the muscles and the sweet ass of Almeida.
Romo: I agree he has a sweet ass. I think Audrey is a bitch for having no respect for Jack�s torture techniques.
Rob Purchase has called in to add his final thoughts, what a loser
Rob: I just want to say that all of the bloodshed at the end is CTU�s fault because they did not listen to Almeida�. SON!
Russ: I don�t know what I found less believable; the sexual tension between everyone in that office or the fact that any brown guy would stick around the help whitey.
Murtz Jaffer gets the final word this week after winning a game of odds and evens.
Murtz: It was the best of times, it was the worst of times, it was the ultimate test of good and evil. In the role reversal between Almeida and Wife, she is now the evil witch that could have saved last season. Michelle Son!
