I remember that episode! The dogs were fucking adorable. Uli had a long-haired one -- a Pekinese, maybe? -- who came and plopped its head on Uli's chest. And Laura initially wanting nothing to do with her dog, then gradually warming to it. That was a fun season.

I stopped watching the All Star half way into it because it was boring me to tears. I gather Mondo won?

No Voice talk?

I feel like they saved the best for the last half hour.

I wasn't particularly thrilled by any of the performances. Either the songs were boring or unknown to me, or the arrangements were just too weird. The only person who I really changed opinions on was Ashley, but I'm still predicting she goes home, along with Jordis, Jermaine, and Moses.

I'm about three episodes behind on The Voice, but I find if I dont' watch them in person I tend not to catch up, so we'll see...I didn't really have any big favorites this year, unlike last year (too many people this year, no way to keep them straight!)

I like to have The Voice on in the background and yeah, I don't catch up. I only saw the first hour and only liked Chris Mann.

Yeah, I sort of thought everyone was just fine.

I thought the very last song was pretty good, but other than that only one or two of them held my attention for more than 30 seconds.

I liked Ashley a lot, and the girl who sang the Stevie Wonder song (although I think another song would have suited her better).

Mondo won - and I like Mondo and think he definitely should have won his season but I think that Austin's collection was more interesting this time.

I actually had really detailed The Voice thoughts, but left for work at 6 this morning, and just got back from another work-related errand about two hours ago.

And since then there's been the elim! Woes Moses! I knew I should have voted. But I was trying to decide my commitment to a new show.

I didn't realize there'd be two elims each. The others I was all ok with.
