I get confused. I remember everything. I remember too much, and... some of it's made up, and... some of it can't be quantified, and... there's secrets.

Whee! New thread. And SYTYCD talk, already! Yeah, I felt sorry for Ricky. I think all the judges tend to have a slight bias in favor of the B-boys. Mia should have been on that panel to even things out. This is my first season watching. What are Nigel's credentials for being a judge?

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l

I just found out that a friend of a friend is on SYTYCD. I've been half-watching most of this season, but I can't remember most of the names. Can someone remind me which one Danny is?

I think that Ramsey hasn't gone off on Aaron because Aaron really is a no-hoper.

Ever since seeing this video [link] I've been obsessed with Paul Potts on Britain's Got Talent. Last I heard he made the Semis and was a pretty good bet for the finals. This

[link] is his semi-final performance.

I've got the dog show on Animal Planet and they just did a little piece about a woman who has Bedlington Terriers and they showed some pups: it's another breed born dark that gets lighter as they age. Cutepies too.

What are Nigel's credentials for being a judge?

He produces the show, but other than that I don't know. I did miss Mia. I always like when she's on the show. I like Mary Murphy, but she kind of drives me crazy sometimes.

My husband sent me the link to those videos yesterday, connie. He's amazing! I love the fact that audience adored him, too, because I bet only a very small percentage of them listen to opera anywhere near regularly.

Trust my rage

He has a great voice but I think he's so likable because he's such a humble guy. I love the first video connie linked to where you can see Simon Cowell sort of drop his jaw and actually focus in on the guy.

What do people think of this season's Top Chef?
