I recently did the same thing this year. I always avoided this show when it was on because I found the whole vampire/gothic fantasy thing really uninteresting.

I agree. I love it when Jess and Winston do things together.

Wasn't that basically what happened in The Onion's reality-show-parody series, Sex House? I mean minus the actual cannibalism, it goes from a Big Brother parody to a twisted imprisonment survival horror show. A bit brilliant, actually.
