Granted, Ihaventseenmany, but I dont really know how this season can top it.

But only the right kind of weird, Gina, trust me.
Me, Id be all oh yeah, where was all this love when I needed your votes?!
I couldve so rocked it tonight!
But Gina just seemed thrilled to be there.

So theyve got that going for them too.)
