because I didn't watch one single show on CBS at that time and thought they were still going for the older crowd with "The Amazing Race".But Lost was pretty dismal right from the start and then Sept 11th happened and they cut most of the middle part of Lost and showed just the ending.
Of course we also had The Mole over at ABC and that along with TAR are my 2 favorite reality shows.

I had never heard of that Lost show before, too bad about it.

I think Rob Schneider is in almost every one of Sandler's movies and he says that line all the time.
I agree with the assessment that this season was on the boring side. The ending was nice. When the three teams were on the final pitstop platform, I was waiting for the Weavers to say that everyone was against them and how they were all alone.

I believe they showed a couple of episodes, then Sept 11th happened, it went off for a couple of weeks and they had a wrap-up show condensing the remaining episodes.
