Interesting. Surprised Deirdre wasn't at the top.

TFP as usual Jason.

Despite AS being in so many episodes, she really hasn't domiated them. I feel conflicted saying I don't mind, but it speaks to the balance within epsiodes which the writers have achieved. Plus they have managed to make Sami non-annoying for me which is a feat in itself - kudos to the writers then!

You rock, Jason!
