That's funny! Thanks for the laugh.

But, if you are being serious, how would Katie, at F4, know that was Tom's plan?
And, if Tom is so beatable, why would Ian have wanted him out at F4? Wasn't their fight your "necessary set-up"? With Tom so unlikeable, Ian and Kathy vote with him for Jen as was planned. End of discussion.
