I kind of grew to like Sanjaya. He struck me as the type to be a kickass variety show host, if they still had such things.

Underwhelmed by the AI finale, although they really had nowhere to go but down after last year's Mary J./Prince/teary eyed Hoff extravaganza.
Things I loved:
Kiki and Melinda working it out with Gladys Knight
Melinda working it out with Bebe and Cece (if only they could've worked some Kiki in there as well)
The boys kicking all kinds of ass on the Smokey songs
Doug E. Fresh and Blake 4evaaaaa
Kelly and Joe Perry on Sgt. Peppers (even if she did biff the words)
Ruben blowing your American Idol away on their song
Things I hated:
Kelly, I love you but your new song sucked ass. Please don't rip off Alanis anymore
Just about anything Jordin did tonight. I don't hate her, but she just really disappeared this evening
Why the Golden Idol Awards? Such a time suck. That could've been a Kiki/Phil duet (and I did not need to see the bush baby again)
Things I am perplexed by: Sanjaya was almost a little teensy bit hot during his solo. The hell? Still can't sing though.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.
Seriously cannot believe I just watched that whole finale and didn't even get to see the results! That's when you know it's fucking bloated.

Jesse- okay, I was COMPLETELY surprised by who that was on the video for Dr. Boogie.
Also, I guess doing something that could be completely the opposite that the hair wants to shows some understanding of working with the hair.
I'm just relieved that Anthony made it through. He worried me.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
I had seriously decided that Boogie's line in the first episode about "I'm not gay or nothing" was a joke. I mean, I guess he could still be gay, since there was no baby's mama on the tape, but still. Confusing!

The local newscaster is standing on a Scully Box to interview Jordin. He's quite wee.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."
Yeah, no kidding! Your who with the what now?
Yup. Anthony should have turned the hair so it was a fan, and the front part came over her face.
Can't believe Ben survived!

So much this. AI was great this season, but I'm so ready for the dancers, if only because the shows have much less bloat.

I saw an ad for the new season of Hell's Kitchen last night, but it's not showing up on Tivo. June 4, I think it said, so in theory it shoud already be there, right?

Undeniably true. By the time they make it to the LV auditions, everyone left is basically v.v. good, and it just comes down to whittling it down to amazing (at least in each dancer's particular specialty). I'm wondering whether they'll stick with the same partners this year. I liked it last year for the Benji/Donyelle, but overall I missed the variety of seeing the dancers with different partners each week that we got with S1.
On Shear Genius, I also had a WTF moment with Dr. Boogie's son. I kept wishing the photo were bigger or had better resolution so that I could see if the kid really looked like him or if maybe it was just his "play" son. Hmm . . . And that weave on his model looked a hot mess. Daisy turned it out, so I'm rooting for her in the finale, but I think Anthony's gonna take it all. The less said about Ben, the better. What he did to that poor black girl's hair was a crime.
