Is there no edit bay again this season? Hope this is an ok place to ask.
Sadly not. I’m spoiled on the winner.
Aw, ok. Hope to see it back next season! I definitely miss it, even if it’s just the chart.
Also, I’m rewatching the episode right now, and Dee does have a confessional. I think it’s Kamilla who doesn’t. Appreciate all the stats though!
That’s correct, I misread my confessional chart!
