I was really proud of Nicole Fox and Laura Kirkpatrick and I was sad to see this cycle end. That's not to say that I enjoyed writing this piece. I stayed up way past my bedtime, because a finale episode deserves a thorough write-up. I also didn't think that I would end up being attacked for most of the day by people who complained that I posted the winner's name before they were able to watch the episode.

I also made some off-color remarks about Laura using her dyslexia as an excuse for fumbling during her commercial. I obviously felt bad for that, since obviously dyslexia is a much more pervasive disease than I thought it was. I rarely feel it necessary to address comments on my stories, but for this one, I just had to.
