Just a quick hi to Denise and Alex, another Denise and Ashley (all from Blairsville, furthest away in my group), Darcy and Diane (from Butler, she gets runner-up), and Julie.
Our "family" of eight had been standing in line at the Parish Hall since 1:30-ish, started out as 4 groups of two and sort of adopted each other as we froze in line for 2+ hours, made sure we all got on the same "team", played cards and Parcheesi from 4pm to 1 am at the Parish Hall, and stuck together during the filming too.
Blue Team was called to the set for the very first time AFTER 1 AM, and didn't get done until almost 5 am. It was VERY cold out there.
To all our new friends who went to red and yellow teams, I sure as heck did enjoy meeting all of you! Welcome back to Kittanning anytime.
