You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.

Oh...I see you guys worked it out. YAY! Don't have to change the answer. W00T!

You could change it if you wanted. "None of these voters deserve veto power. The veto rests in the capable hands of Jack Bauer. WHO ARE YOU VOTING FOR?!?"

I was talking to Deena on the phone yesterday and complaining about all this. I was all, "Now this is a case of when-will-I-ever-use-this-again?! I should write that! I should write that I'm never going to use this again, so I'm not going to do it now.

"Oh, wait. I'm a grade whore. I'll do it now and on the exam, but NEVER AGAIN!"

That's it, vw! Stick it to 'The Man'!

(Ok, so I've been watching Colbert interview Sharpton again.)

hip deep in pie

Matt, Bones is worth it because they seem to let DB dress himself for the Vegas scenes.

'we all walk this earth feeling we are frauds. The trick is to be grateful and hope the caper doesn't end any time soon"

Bones: Yeah, why do I think DB showed up at the studio with his own travelling wardrobe stuffed full of that shit?

I thought the same thing, Sue! Especially because of the pink socks and white shoes.

Oh man, and the hipster fedora! I was expecting someone to ask him where Sammy and Dino were.

I do think DB needs to get a sharper razor for shaving—these days he always has a little stubble on his upper lip that really looks more like dirt than 5 o'clock shadow. Either clean-shaven or a more extensive scruffy three-day growth would look a lot better on him.

Art Crawl!!!

Oh come on! I loved DB's faux gangster look. It was fun.

I thought that Top Chef's elimination challenge was also great. But I'm not sure how I feel about the no actual elimination. Did nobody suck enough? Or did they all suck equally? And maybe they just didn't want to toss out the woman who won two elimination challenges in a row for cheating. . . which she clearly did. Did you guys wonder why her teammates didn't pull her up from changing her recipe? So that they could blame her should they have wound up on the chopping block ?

I'm not sure they actually realized what she'd done. Marcel was clearly worried the night before about whether they'd turn out, but I didn't see them noticing what she did the next day.

I do think that the whole point of bringing two teams back was so they could avoid knifing (thanks, TWoP!) one of the three on the meatball team.

Which, frankly, would have lost regardless of what anyone else was doing.

That said, I do think not cutting anyone was probably the best call. I'm just surprised they didn't think about supervising the cooking in the first place.
