 * Favorite Quote -

I'm gonna miss you sweetheart, but it's time to get rid of the weakest link. (Vivian Marquez), If this is the last vote I ever cast, then let me say this: from the bottom of my heart I sincerely hope someone throws you down a flight of stairs. (Jasmine Neely) ,You're annoying and bossy, and now I can't be friends with anyone named Kelsie because you ruined the name. (Isla Barrett), Susan, if it wasn't for your face, I'd never guess that you are 61. If you want to know how old you act, I suggest you switch those 2 numbers around. (Gerald Solta), I would say you are a vile human being, however that word has been ruined by a certain castaway in Ivory Coast, so I will say I hope you change because right now you belong in mental hospital. (Bonnie Winterbottom)
