"Faded like the lilac, he thought."
Yeah, I agree with the above about the quality Monday. But I liked, again, the weird-voiced girl. Although both of them went to Cee Lo, so we're going to have dueling weird-voiced girls on that team.
So I know it's a slightly different interest group, and it has been periodically offputting, but the new season of Top Shot started! I hope they started as they mean to go on, because the first ep was all, basic, clean shooting. And the two women appear to be moderately badass and so hopefully won't go out right away or be sidelined by family stuff.
And there's going to be a new Amazing Race starting shortly too, right? Tis the season, I guess.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."
I love my Tivo, or I never would have known.
And Amazing Race has finally changed their title to Amazing Race and not, Amazing Race 20, so Tivo picked that up too.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
Anyone watch Survivor last night? The men v women thing is already pissing me off.

What Jessica said.
But you know? I get by on rage. If I don't have a good dose every day, I lose my strength. Like Samson.

Ha!
Yeah, I'm not saying it doesn't make good tv. But honestly, the only non-fratboy on the men's team is an extra from Glee and ALL of the women are sitting around going "Oh my, women! Now we can't get anything done, you know how we girls are!" It's like a bad parody of a bad parody.

There's (so far) one woman who seems like she could have potential - assuming she doesn't turn out to be one of Survivor's patented "oh those crazy minorities" casting jobs. It's too soon to tell. Fingers crossed.
They are so bad at casting women, generally. It seems like on any random season of men, they have one or two older guys, about six buff mid-twenties types and a weirdo. For women, it's about the same, excpet the buff dudes are replaced with wanna-be models. About as smart or interesting, but seriously handicapped given the nature of the game. That's only compounded when they're divided by sex out of the gates.

Because books.
Anyone watching Idol? JLo's top tonight is blinding.
The one seventeen-year-old kid, David something, who was in the "Rocking Robin" group, is incredible.
