Summary
In our “Reviewing the Reviewer” series, we ask various BLISTER reviewers questions about their backgrounds and gear preferences to give you a more complete picture of the people behind our reviews. And since we like to rank & review things around here, we also give a score to each of our reviewers’ answers, then come up with a cumulative review grade for each of them.
In the hot seat today is Kristin Sinnott, and I recently subjected Kristin to our regular gauntlet of Reviewing-the-Reviewer questions, which led to answers that involved Family Feud, killer bees, ski dance videos, her background in alpine and nordic skiing; and some of her gear preferences.

| 0:30.5 | various blister reviewers questions about their backgrounds and gear preferences to give you |

| 0:46.3 | reviewers' answers to come up with a definitive grade and rating of their entire personhood. |

| 1:57.8 | some scheming and some things that we're working on that are actually very |
