But my favorite part may have been Wes and Gia. They make a great couple, and he's so due some love after the way the show trashed him with its hatchet-editing job on Jillian's season. I'm glad Chris Harrison acknowledged it -- and they let him sing at the end. I doubt Kiptyn and Tenley will make it, she'll drive him crazy with her two note repertoire, little girl giggles or crying, and I don't care one way or the other, but I really hope Wes and Gia last. I think Gia is the best looking woman to appear on the show, all seasons combined, and she seems to have a big heart to match. As a whole, the show pretty much sucked until tonight. I fast-forwarded through big portions, especially the sorry Elizabeth, but the finale was terrific. Memo to Michelle: Yes, Karma's a b*tch. Which is why you should have forgiven Tenley when she apologized. It will come back to bite you.
Final word: Melissa looked stunning. Even her "baby bump" was cute.
Now it's time to watch the new episode of "Weeds."
On an unrelated note, I was also out at the federal detention center earlier and ran into a co-defendant from a drug case I tried in 1992. We recognized each other immediately. (He's now housed at the minimum security prison next door to the detention center.)It was a pretty routine drug case (in my view, but my client was acquitted.) 19 years later, and he told me he has 9 more to do -- he got 28 years. What a needlessly long sentence. On the plus side, he's lost about 50 pounds, doesn't look any older except for gray hair, was in good spirits and told me he runs 10 miles every day.
