Ooh, did we see this from Nigel?

The #SYTYCD #Allstars will change every week.

Yes the #Allstars will come and go. Depending on our choice and their availability too. Next week our guest judge is Neil Patrick Harris.

Lady Gaga is a guest judge on #SYTYCD in 2 weeks. I’m very excited to see her again.

Maybe there's some hope for All Star Mark-aliciousness to happen!

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."

I hope so. He really is one of my favorite male dancers. I also hope we get to see Ade again.

Because books.

Anyone watching Food Network Star? I missed the first twenty minutes talking to the neighbors, and I'm confused. Someone who was already cut seems to be back?

Never mind. Wow, my memory sucks.

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb

I am a week behind, but SYTYCD - things went just as I had hoped. I have not liked Alexander in a while and I thought his solo was awful. I am so happy that this was the week before the top 10 so they would feel ok about sending off non-partners. SEE YA RYAN! My big surprise is that Jess has grown on me, damn it.

I still like Chopped occasionally, especially since you can hear people say things like, "I've never worked with testicles before."

In more I-am-ten news, on Next Design Star, they did the white box challenge this week and one girl kept saying things like, "I don't know what to do with my box" and "I want everyone to see my box and think [her name] right away."

I was tired and punchy when I watched, though.

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."

oh that's hilarious. none of that occurred to me when I watched it, but I love that.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

In more I-am-ten news, on Next Design Star, they did the white box challenge this week and one girl kept saying things like, "I don't know what to do with my box" and "I want everyone to see my box and think [her name] right away."

YES. I forget if I told the story here, because it was about work, but several years ago, I was in a meeting with several people a generation+ older than me, and one non-native English speaker, and we were trying to name something, and people kept saying stuff like "Outside My Box," and I had to tell them NO, but I couldn't say why not, in a work meeting. Ell Oh Ell.

Master Chef - Monday I nearly wept when I saw the mess some of the cooks made of a truffle ... a $500 truffle, no less.
