Reruns Are Back On

Reruns of the show are airing again, two episodes on Friday mornings at 8:00. Still no sign of the season finale, though. :(

Is the Show Coming Back?

So, what's going on? Why was the season finale just pulled with no explanation? Will we ever see it? I imagine it contained references to being the season finale, so it might be weird airing it alongside new episodes if and when they are produced. Speaking of which... didn't Craig say they History Channel had ordered more episodes? Does that still stand?

I can't watch the show anymore.

I was watching it just fine until last week, the history channle wants me to provide my TV provider, as well as a username and password. I love Craigs show, but I'm not paying for more than just an internet connection to watch it. I'll watch a commercial here or there, that doesn't bother me.

Suggestion: Don't put winner in bold in episode discussion threads.

Often I browse through the comments while watching, and it kind of sucks knowing what the winner will be when most of the thread has to do with the process of the show and the panel, not just the conclusion.
