The set is controlled chaos, as usual. I stand near the windows, my eyes searching the bustling crowd for Orlando. I don't see him, but I do spot Omar Walson sitting in a canvas chair off to the side. Next to him is his new costar, Christian Tremont.
Christian, all things considered, bears many similarities to Ford - height, build, brown hair. But while Ford had the too-polished look of a game show host, Christian is a little more rugged around the edges. His teeth aren't nearly as white, his face not as perfectly symmetrical, but somehow those imperfections make him far more attractive.
Omar and Christian chat quietly with each other, and though I consider creeping closer and eavesdropping on them, I don't get the chance. Just as I take a step in their direction, Orlando's voice carries through the lobby.
"Okay, everyone. We've got a long day ahead of us, so let's get this started."
