Pick up the damn show, already.

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.

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.

Well, it's not Drive news but I think it's cool!

Network: FX
Title: LOWLIFE
Commitment: Series Pick Up (13 Episodes)
Cast: Minnie Driver, Noel Fisher, Eddie Izzard, Margo Martindale, Aidan Mitchell, Shannon Woodward
Logline: A darkly comedic one-hour series starring Eddie Izzard as the head of a family of Irish grifters who moves with his family to the American South and assume the role of a regular suburban family.

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.

FINALLY caught RS again. It was elimination night, though. Must remember to watch on Wednesdays.

That said, I was sorry to see Storm go. I really liked her and her version of "Wish You Were Here". However, I think Dilana might have a really good chance of winning. I hope so. I'd like to see a woman win. Without having to compete on Rockstar: The Go-Go's
