Pulling Frenchie ruined the show, but do the producers care? Absolutely not, because they've got all the revenue bases covered. Yank her from the show, sign her up as if she won it ten weeks early, throw her on TV...the only losers in this masterfully manipulative game are we, the viewers. Yeah, I'm still watching, dammit.
