I can't remember which came first, reading Allyson's pitch chapter ("Save Firefly") or Kitchen Confidential but I remember noting when reading one or the other that she and Bourdain have written similar memoirs. Allyson should have a "No Reservations" but for fandom.
You got fired, and you still hang around here like a big loser. Why can't he?

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.

Oh, no way. How is that ever going to work?

I appreciate the creativity, but I'm not sure I can watch a show full of people like that. Although I could probably watch a show with a dozen Rob Marianos. That would be fun.

Hee, totally.
I'll forgive them lots if they get Grampa Simpson to explain the concept to the audience. But I don't get where they think they're going to scrape that much money from.

SYTYCD:
The dancing seems better this season (fewer problems, anyway), the choreography not as good. Or maybe just not as engaging.
The only dance that has been memorable to me is Hok and Jamie's hummingbird/flower dance.
Love, love, love. This made me sad to lose Hok. I still think it was the right choice, but it really showed his talent when he had something to work with.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

One of the guys in the article said he wouldn't mind taking everyone else's money. But, would he be willing to risk all of his? That's pure craziness. Unless you're the lucky bastard that gets to be part of the show that has only $3,749.00 in their checking account.

This is an interesting point. If it's a voting/elimination show a la Survivor, this guy has a handicap. Which kind of makes me salivate a little for this show-- I love fiendish strategery!

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
I saw about ten minutes of a rerun of "The Singing Bee" today. This is possibly the cheesiest show on the air.
Joey Tribbiani Fatone introduced the last round by saying, "It's the final countdown." And I thought, "Ha, like that song." And then the band lurched into motion, and some poor backup singer launched into "IT'S THE FINAL COUNTDOWN!"
