It's really not a big deal at all, and geemarty has been doing at great job, but Oprah is (pretty much) right. I think having the people who selected So not lose any points for her boot is unfair and will end up skewing the scoreboard, but it's a minor issue.
CBS aired a commercial with some of episode two's challenges in it and people saw that the only person that wasn't at the challenge was So.
Was it ever a sure thing that So would be voted out based on spoilers? I was keeping up with the "spoilers" based on the challenge previews, and it had been narrowed down to Carolyn or So as the first boot. There was just as much of a chance that it could have been Carolyn.
Few days before premiere, there was another promo showing Cherilyn in one of future challenges.
There was another person not showed from Blue Tribe, but we were 99% sure White Collar would lose the challenge so,...
so long, So.
