    Mannie, class act true A-List star! You will be missed!! hide show

    Mannie is the one true A-List star that appeared on this season. He has class and dignity. I hated that he was elminated by the underhanded tactics of such jealous and insecure supposed "A-Listers". Rob, shame on you...you were the one that was guilty of manipulating poor Vern, you and Andrea Lowell. Speaking of A-Listers, Ron Jeremy and Andrea Lowell, A-List stars???...like NEVER!!! Mannie was the one B-Lister that held the group together and provided postitive and intelligent input and guidance. B-List is definitely in trouble now!
