"You have to surrender to wisdom."

So said Christopher Knight to his twenty-three-year-old betrothed Adrianne Curry on the last episode of "My Fair Brady." He stormed out of the restaurant and met the cameras at the church where he would marry Ms. Curry in two days. After ordering her to join him at the church for an impromptu argument, Knight stared into the night. His shirt strategically unbuttoned, the future groom unleashed his ire to a blindsided bride. Surrender to wisdom. It was spontaneous and deep. When I have problems with people, I deliver just such gems to them...accompanied by a series of pirouettes off stage. Maybe reality television is climbing to new heights.

Another Peter Brady nugget: When Knight and Curry go to a relationship counseling retreat, he makes the stunning discovery that he isn't sensitive enough to her needs. In a gesture of overwhelming guilt, Knight drinks and sulks throughout the rest of the retreat, so tormented is he by his selfish behavior. Now, that's an evolved homo erectus and I'm proud he came through the session with a more actualized sense of self.

And this reminds me of when Peter's voice changed. After two marriages and now embarking on a third with such public enlightment, Christopher Knight knows that when it's time to change, it's time to rearrange. Best of luck to the happy couple.

ps. I would invite her to the slumber party not only for her level-headedness, but for her exceptional burping.
