Hey gang,
 
Canít stay and talk, so save your ďSweet Drew Goddard, I bow at your knee and worship your every move-sĒ for another time. Just wanted to do a quick drive-by because Iíve been thinking about it and Iíve decided that spoilers are bad.
 
Now, I know Iím not saying anything new here. Iím realistic. Letís face it Ė those of you who read spoilers arenít going to stop just because I tell you not to. So Iíve decided to come here and make you all an offer. Here it is:
 
Anyone who can remain spoiler-free for the rest of the season Ė all the way through the finale Ė will be immediately and passionately French-kissed by me.
 
Thatís right Ė I will French-kiss anyone, woman or man, who can avoid spoilers for the rest of the year.
 
Ho ho. How does that sound? May want to think twice before clicking on your spoilerslayers or your cross-and-stakes or your whatevers now, wonít you?
 
I mean, olí U. D. is gonna French-kiss the hell out of you if youíre good. Thatís a sweet deal. I mean, itís just five months, spoiler-freeÖ
 
And seriously, Iím an awesome Frencher. And for the rest of your life, youíll be able to tell everyone we Frenched.
 
Nice.
 
Now, I know Iíve been off the radar for a while, but theyíve been working us hard here in the coal-mines, so please forgive me. As soon as Iím done working on this script, which should be next week sometime, Iíll be back for a good round of Hose Down the Slip-and-Slide (what the hell does that even mean? Sorry Ė itís late.)
 
But in the meantime, the offerís on the table. Hey Ė if you want to look at spoilers now, itís up to you, but man, youíre gonna be missing out.
 
To my Minions, well, I love and treasure you all. I honestly donít tell you that enough. You knowÖ come to think of itÖ I donít give you enough free stuff either. In fact, letís have some sort of contest. Dachelle, do you want to judge a contest for me? Iím thinking a ďPraise GoddardĒ Contest. The rules are as such: the object of the contest is to praise me in the best way possible. Entries can be in the form of a song, a poem, a sculpture, a t-shirt, a painting, an interpretative danceÖ really, the skyís the limit on this, okay? Whatever the hell you can think of. Top three entries get a bunch of cool Buffy stuff.
 
Weíll figure out the logistics of it all next week (Dachelle, Iím gonna get a hold of you next week anyway Ė sorry itís taken me so long.) But in the meantime, start thinking of those entries.
 
I like this contest. It celebrates the very spirit upon which this group was founded in the first place Ė praise and worship of me. Olí U.D.
 
And donít forget about that French-kiss deal, either. How Ďbout that? Tonightís turning out to be real sweet for everyone involved. Real sweet, I tell you.
 
Donít doubt the clout.
 
Ultimate Drew
