This week, we commence with some shots of our artistes at home, followed by another Bravo tradition: an absurdly early wake-up! This is a classic Bravo tradition in which the host/mentor, in our case, Simon, comes over to whatever West Elm palace the reality show competitors happen to be staying in,

Last week, the French satirical magazine Charlie Hebdo published an image of Mohammad on its cover saying, "100 lashes if you don't die of laughter!"
