It was a great season, even if the wrong guy won. Why not relive the highlights and join our live blog of tonight's reunion show? Just one request: No spoilers about which chubby bearded guy will win "fan favorite," OK?

Kate Hudson was on Oprah today to promote Nine. This show was without a doubt pre-recorded, because Oprah demands Kate discuss her relationship with A-Rod. Most likely while he was cheating on her. Awkward!
