It's been a few years, but it's still fun to go back and read summaries and watch clips of what was quite an experience. This is Dan from the show and I saw your "message" to me. I made this rule originally to never reply to any comments about me, because I didn't want to give any negative folks (and there were plenty) the satisfaction that I might see the hate they were spreading from the safety of their screennames. Your note wasn't hateful though, and the recap was very well done. I just wanted to respond. Reality show casting folks cast characters, not people. I am far more than just a sheltered kid, now and back then. The editing they did on that show was crazy! They did a great job building a character, but it wasn't exactly me. They would put us in interview rooms (trailers) for hours and hours, and we'd end up saying dumb crap or even lines we were given - it's how a show is made. That trampoline line has come back to bite me so many times! It was fun, I loved the producers, so this isn't an attack on them at all. I just figured now that time has passed (and I'm no longer bound to silence by a contract with ABC!) at least I told someone that these shows, while reality in nature, depict whatever the heck they want.

All the way up. Wouldn't hurt anything, since I think it's hollow up there. I was sorry that he wasn't elminated, because I like Dan, even with the annoying homeschooling excuse thing.<br /><br />Judge Bob as Bananaman only makes me love this show more. :) BananaBob!
