Next, we'll film a reality show...who will be the first voted to leave the hotel? Probably no one since hard core meetings aren't about making decisions, they are about deft political maneuvering and tallying style points. Even if we do reach consensus today, we will have forgotten by tomorrow.

K will do the play-by-play and J will provide color commentary....
