And there goes another season... six years and 18 shows and it's different every time. It was a great season with amazing people, I couldn't have asked for anything more. I don't really know what to say. I'm thrilled that I got to work with Michael and I hope I get to work with him again. Same goes for Val and Matthew. The shows were clearly not flawless, but I think they were entertaining and generally well done. I'm sorry that the houses were so small and I hope that something is being done to see that they aren't so small next season.
As far as my personal experience, I probably learned more about myself this year than any other. I feel as though I can stand on my own two feet rather than being so dependent on the people around me, and I'm very thankful for that. I went through some stuff (am still going through some stuff) and having so many great people around helped immensly. But mostly it showed me how independent I really am and I'm glad I can recognize that. I have wonderful friends that are there for me anytime, but when things get tough, nothing helps more than a minute to myself, which is something I don't often have.
Friendships can be tricky things. I met a ton of new people and I hope that I'll stay close with those I made connections with. Some of my old friendships got stronger and some well, didn't. And surprisingly that's ok. I'm very much que sera sera with friendships and growing apart from someone in no way means we won't grow back together someday. Maybe someday really soon.
It was a season filled with tons of laughs, some tears, countless drinks, far too many nights at La Pinata, some of the best friends I could ever ask for, amazing amounts of talent, lots of pictures, the appropriate amount of inappropriateness, and memories that will last forever. Again, it's always different, but it's not always wonderful, and this season was. Absolutely overall my best season to date.
