Pick up the damn show, already. I need good news. Or notes. I could use some notes. But i'll take a Drive pickup as well.

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica

Is there a date that they HAVE to make a decision by? I'm finding this whole pilot process confuzzling, at least in terms of when they make their picks (well - the picks themselves are often confuzzling too, just in a different way).

I think if they want it for January, it has to be picked up, um, let's see...NOW.

It's not that I'm the only one, it's that I'm the honest one.
Reassure me here - is it an unspoken, almost definite thing that they're picking it up... Cos the wait is beginning to unnerve me.
Also - if it was aired in January, would that mean a 22 episode run without interruptions or 13?

Who, me? I'm terrible at reassurance.

RS - ok, I like all I saw except LUCAS that mumbly ass.

Well, I really thought that this was Lukas' least mumbly performance EVER. And I loved Storm's performance and that Dave got up and played guitar for her. I liked Toby's original better than his cover. . . and found Magni boring. And although Dilana's original didn't suck as much as I thought it would, it was still the worst one of the night. Her version of BBE wasn't bad -- and I loved that she couldn't stand to just sit and got up and hopped on one leg through her set.

Dilana: I didn't hate her performance of BBE until she started to do the self-referential eyerolling. Then I wanted to sweep her good leg out from under her. The original was okay. A million times better than The Thong Song or CTRL ALT DEL.
Magni: I like Magni as a person. He bores me as a performer. Also, there was this one riff in his original that kept making me expect to hear the song turn into Jackson Browne's Running on Empty.
Storm: Love love love. Love her. Love PPoD. Love the cover. Love the original. Must get my hands on the non-sanitized for network television version of this song. What the fuck is ladylike, indeed. Stay one more week, Storm, and then launch a tour so I can come see you live!
Lukas: Eh. I'm weary of his schtick.
Toby: He's not my favorite but he is quite the showman. Plus he used "oh ohs" in his original and, clearly, SuperSuckAss loves that kind of shit. I think this could be his to lose. I kinda feel sorry for him.
I also think that, given Marty's amazing electric (but acoustic!) performance of Mr. Brightside last year, Toby's performance of that song was doomed to suck by comparison.
I did find it interesting that they only showed Dilana, Lukas and Toby in the clinic with SUGC. Final three?
Though they said they were doing a final four. I'm confused about how this final week is going to work.

Kristen - that sounds interesting. Do they say when it's going to show up?
You haven't seen RS yet, have you?
I will post about it later.
