I don't know about you, but after all that American Idol and Dancing With the Stars madness, I needed a little bit of a break from reality TV. So it has been a little quiet around here, I have to admit.

So I should warn you that in a couple of weeks, I will be going on maternity leave for a few months. But fret not! Reality Check will live on. I've got a fabulous guest blog editor lined up and a bunch of guest bloggers who will be pitching in to keep things covered, too (including John-John Williams IV, who has been helping out for a while).

But there's still a lot going on in the reality TV landscape, so now that I've caught my breath after last week's finale mayhem, the regular posting will commence!
