Everything's been really egregiously staged and fake and everything -- I am completely aware of that -- but it's also been the funniest season ever of the show. Kathy and Lily Tomlin calling Jane Fonda in the middle of the night to ask her if she ever hooked up with Donald Sutherland during Klute? Great moment, lots of laughs! And it's been full of things like that. For every fake bombing at the Apollo (and really, show -- how stupid do you think we are?) there have been like two or three more Paula-Deen's-assistant-gets-inappropriately-drunks, you know? And I haven't missed Jessica in the slightest.

So I'm still on board, and will continue to defend this show. Tonight's the season finale, and we will be spending the majority of it at Suzanne Somers' compound! Also, we will watch Kathy get her star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame, because these seasons always end on a sentimental note. Hope we get another season. I honestly do.

Ordinarily someone with a voice and actions as abrasive as Kathy Griffin would drive me insane, but I absolutely adore this woman. Her impression of Paris Hilton getting lost on an award stage remains one of the funniest things I've ever seen.

Plus, anyone that consistently calls Ryan Seacrest on his bullshit deserves a humanitarian award of some kind.

What I love and respect Kathy Griffin for as a reality show subject, is that she actually puts thought into her series. She packs her schedule during filming and pulls out all the stops to make sure something funny and interesting happens in each episode. It is miles and miles above and beyond other candid shows like Denise Richards: It's Complicated or Keeping Up With the Kardashians, where a typical episode might be "Kourtney buys a puppy". Kathy works her ass off to deliver.
