You look familiar...

Last night I went down to SoBe.

Went to a very nice place with some customers. I wouldn't generally go to this place on my own dime, but since the company was picking up the tab...I HAD TO (poor me, I know).

This place was packed to the gills on a cold and rainy night. The people waiting in line was tremendous at 10:00 pm. I really don't understand the draw. This place serves you tiny plates of food that you share amongst the dinner guest at $20 a plate. A bite from each one is all you get. So you leave with you stomach feeling empty, along with your wallet.

Well since I missed the premiere of American Idol. I got my own dose of reality TV while I was sitting at the bar waiting for my customers to show.

The manager of the bar was a very handsome fellow. All too familiar to me. He was very pleasant (but I guess that's his job). There was something about him that made me know him.

Like, was he was a friend from a long time ago? No.

Did I date him? Wishful thinking..But no.

Did I go to school with him? No.

I didn't dare ask him who he was because in SoBe it is considered poor taste. You run into celebrities all the time and supposedly being with the cool crowd, you never make a big deal.

But, being the nose that I am. It was killing me.

I was afraid to ask...Who are you? What are you famous for?

It might offend or bring unwanted attention to this man. Maybe he was fugitive? I didn't want to ask directly to find out. I could have then been held hostage and never heard from again.

So, I waited until he left the room.

I asked the all knowing, forever wise bartender.

"Who is he?"

She replied.... "He was on Big Brother."

Of course I think. I am a reality TV junkie. I watch these people every night. I know these people like they are family, coworkers. Their faces never leave my brain...But what the heck was his name???

So this morning I rush to work and plug in the Big Brother site. I look at all the seasons, one by one. This face will pop up sooner or later, I can feel it.

Well - I finally get to the group of people that I want. The reason I remember this man is because he was with a group that played hard. Played to win. A group that will be remembered for their conniving winner....Will.

This is man I saw last night.

I would rather have seen Will. He was comical as well as truthful to the camera. I was so glad he won.

Well, I hate to burst all your bubbles, but I don't watch any of those reality shows. Ah, did I hear a gasp escape from the mouths of my favorite niece, nephew & Sis there ??? But Nelle, its too bad you didn't remember who he was. I would have loved to read the conversation you had with him on your blog. Your slipping girl !
