Review:
After a sensory spike during a hostage situation nearly gets someone killed, guide-less sentinel Jim is given an ultimatum: prove that he's actually looking for a guide or quit the force. And what better way to prove that he's making an effort than to do so on national television?

I have to admit, I don't watch reality television, so I'm probably getting less out of this fic than those who do. That said, this is great fun, with Blair being awesome and very in-character and Jim being denser than lead and, to quote Simon, "the least self-aware person on the planet". I do wish Jim had been a bit less so thickheaded, but fortunately he wises up eventually and makes up for it all with smoking sex. A fun, fast Sentinel fic.

I come back and read this story, at least, once every six months. Also nearly every time I see a dating show on television. It's fun and great and true to the characters. I love this fic.
