"Faded like the lilac, he thought."

You guys just have to film it, and then it will be reality tv and on topic.

You'll shave my head for free, but will you also give me a trip around the world with a million dollars at the end?

I was thinking about this, and I think I'd rather have the million dollars first, and then maybe I can make the trip around the world a little more leisurely. I mean, our own meara made a trip around the world and I don't think she had to unroll haystacks or anything.

I already did the shaved head thing. It was pretty awesome, for the record, and I'd do it again.

Note that even if your hair extensions cost $500, a cool million will offset that cost right quick.

(do extensions actually cost that much??!)

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I can see not doing it, but it's all a bad sign -- I figure the train of thought is, "What if I do this and we still don't win?"

I mean, I'd do it, but I have also been jealous of Orthodox women and their wigs, so to try that out just for fun seems like something of a bonus.

Me and Tom last night:

"A million dollars will pay for many extensions!" "Explain, please." "You can exchange a million dollars for goods and services such as nasty hair extensions!"

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

I can believe that hair extensions cost $500. Years ago, just braiding my hair with the good fake hair would cost $200. That was around 1999 and not an urban area.

I totally believe $500, and I totally understand being worried about looking heinous for the rest of the show, immortalized on TV forever!

That said, I'd still freaking DO it. I can see pausing for a sec and being all "Ooof"...but then you go ahead. For a million dollars (also, she already won Big Brother, she can afford new hair extensions!) Hair grows back. They're not asking you to do something damaging to your health there (like, say, dancing around in hot sun for six hours)

I found her rant about her ugly nose and her being fat kind of odd. I'm wondering how much of that is flack she got during/after Big Brother. I mean, sure, I know that I have my issues, but I wouldn't say them out loud on national TV, and I've never noticed her nose being big OR her being fat! I mean, she's not skinny, but I'd never have thought to describe her even as "plump" or something. So weird.

I suspect her issues have issues.

My feeling is...they're extensions! It's not like it's even your own hair you actually spent time growing, you know? Just get new extensions with your million dollars!

Re: The Voice -- I can't possibly be the only person who thinks that Lindsey Pavao is boring as hell, can I? And that when she sings in the big group numbers she sucks all the energy and momentum out of the songs as soon as she opens her mouth? It's not that I don't think that there are a multitude of problems with Chris Mann's performances, but at least I was able to remember his name from week to week.
