Oh my sweet Tara… I will miss you.  Tara Slone was definitely my touchstone in this environment.  I had a really hard time at yesterday’s elimination.  When Tara was called into the bottom three, I knew that was probably it for her.  Three strikes and you’re out I guess?  She sang “Beautiful Girl” and that’s when my water works began.  It was so beautiful… I think she had a feeling she was leaving so she kind of used it as a goodbye to all of us.  She sang the song to us.  She is such a great person and I’m definitely lonelier here without her.  Ty, Marty, Tara and myself really got along well.  It’s so hard losing such great friends every week.  It’s not getting any easier.  It’s difficult to get so attached and grow to really love everyone here and then compete against them all.  It’s a very bittersweet situation.
 
       Anyway…. Later

For Tara:
From doorway to doorway Street corner to corner with the neon ghosts- in the city and she says stay with me, stay with me beautiful girl.
