Final Comments:
Romo: I wish Jack had tortured Paul longer.
Murtz: While it was a good show, the Bachelorette never seemed more appealing. It is getting to the point where we have reached in 24 where The O.C. has been all season. In DIRE need of some”¦lesbian action.
Romo: Maybe Audrey can make Erin feel better after her daughte’s death with some nice oral.
Murtz: I would just like to point out again that Rob Purchase is Erin Driscoll.
Romo: I think that is why he didn’t show up this week.
Murtz: See ya next week.
