Damn it! You know what? I'm sick of this crap. I'm sick of being the guy who eats insects and gets the funny syphilis. As of this moment, it's over. I'm finished being everybody's butt monkey!

That's because they weren't memorable.

Friends don't let friends read "Atlas Shrugged"

Was it Marko who did a paso doble with one of the All Stars? I remember the dance and he swung her around his shoulders so her skirt looked like a cape.

And, in regard to Melanie's build, I do like that she's more compact than dancers usually are. While almost all of the ballet dancers you see these days seem to be attenuated, I remember (back in the '60s) seeing Melissa Hayden, I think it was, who had much the same build.

On Master Chef last night - just waiting for Christian to get booted off for arrogance. His quote from last night: "I didn't come here to learn, I came here to win" (or words to that effect).

Art Crawl!!!

I hate it when people say that sort of thing.

Also - between him and Suzie - either could have gone and I'd have been glad. (I can't believe that Suzie said that she has "no ego." Hahahahaha!)

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

I cannot stand him! At all!

I almost yell at the screen every time he is on. I told Beau: he will be in the final 3 even if he serves a dog's dinner on a plate. He is the "villain."

Thrive to spite them

I do not want Christian to win. He treats everyone disrespectfully and with such contempt. I keep hoping he'll piss off Gordon Ramsay and get tossed off the show. I really don't want him to win.

You can totally tell that Gordon doesn't like him.
