But that’s just my assumption based on how she continued to drill into it after I gave my full rationale for why I felt the way that I did.”
We’d be actually excited about a response to this host debacle, however judging from the manufacturing firm’s aforementioned statements, they’d in all probability simply blame all of it on the truth of actuality TV. Thoughts?!
