*Macsen pops in through a time portal, looking rather disheveled and panting* So, as of this update, it's been one month...three, now?...it's all muddied together by now...since I was granted my mod privileges back.
My difficulties figuring out the modern recap template were, to say the least, vexing. Even Adam gave it a try, but they always recurred when I tried to add them to the site. For whatever reason, what works for them just isn't working for me.
As I sat back for a while in frustration, it gave me time to look for something. Fix it up, if you will.
So I was able to locate the First Four Wall of Shame. I found pictures of all the wallflowers since I ceded the post late in Season 40, and added them. You see, I don't have the budget to send contestants off on these trips to different places.
And would you look what we have here. With the ongoing blue streak, we have Carmen and Benfus still in Contestant's Row. The last bid advantage has not helped Carmen at all today, though to be fair the bid on the exercise bike was not that bad. Let's see what happens to our two hapless friends. *Macsen ducks back in the time portal, which again almost closes on his tail*
