Because books.

I'm sort of dreading it. She was so over the top on Idol.

NPH was so good because he'd been watching, he knew what was going on, and he was judging the dancing. He had intelligent comments to make. I don't know how good LG is going to be, but she'll certainly boost the ratings.

Amy, I didn't see her on Idol!

SYTYCD needs its ratings boosted. They have been poor this season.

They should have Mark be one of the all stars the week that she's on. Or he should do one of the interstitial dances on the results show.

Thrive to spite them

Caught up with Master Chef, Suzy really doesn't like Christine it seems. I'm glad Christine did well and it sucked Jennifer floundered.

I'm confused about Suzy. I get she's confident in her abilities but you think at some point it would get through that she needs to make some changes. Although I was confused by the Chefs attitude that you can't cook food from a country you haven't been to.

MC was just so over the top last night. I could not believe it!

I'm trying to ignore Joe for the most part. He reminds me of one of the judges on Chopped who gets really pissy when people don't act like it's life and death "This is a SERIOUS competition!!!!!!" while judging a plate of food that had to using weird combinations like sole, fennel, rum, marshmallows, and hot peppers.

Suzy just doesn't seem to get it; she seems (to me) somewhat less clueless than Esther was, but she's not getting it. I think, maybe, the point that she'd never been to Germany was that she seemed completely clueless as to what German food should be and in the past she's made a point of reminding people that her family's from India.

And, watching Ben, I was thinking - however he does in the competition, his mother should start up a business selling chef's hats in wacky prints.
