Yay, hockey boys!
Although also agree about the dining and the color chartreuse!
Spike: Heard what happened up top, offing your dad and all. Don't know if you know this, but, uh…I killed my mum. Actually, I'd already killed her, and then she tried to shag me, so I had to-- Wesley: Thank you. I'm…very comforted.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
I'm kind of amazed they can do any mental tasks at that point, frankly.

I felt really bad for everyone, they were clearly mentally exhausted. Definitely glad the hockey guys won, but I wasn't super excited, because it was more that I was rooting against the other teams than rooting for hockey guys.

I didn't dislike the roller derby moms, but they were not built up by the producers to stand out in much of any way.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
I would have loved for the roller derby moms to win, but as long as it wasn't Max and Katie, I'm satisfied. The hockey boys are fine, but yawn, another athletic white male team.

The athleticism was definitely a plus for them, but they did have to draw on a whole lot of smarts and ingenuity and resourcefulness.
I suppose as hockey players, they'd not only traveled a whole lot before, but had to switch from Travel Mode to Play Mode really quickly, or they wouldn't have lasted long professionally. And I bet they both fall asleep at will.
(Speaking of which -- on America's Worst Tattoos the other week, one of the remedial tattooees FELL ASLEEP while he was being worked on. Without, you know, any evidence of substances helping him along.)

Because books.
The Voice: Holy crap, Sasha was outrageous doing "Oh, Darling."
The youngest girl, the one on Blake's team, is also really good.

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."
Long post (The Voice):
So, "The Voice"... The thing right now is that each team has one person who I would EASILY eliminate. I also think each team has at least one person who is just awesome.
On Adam's team, Amber is the bomb. Her voice is amazing. She has great control and I would be surprised if she doesn't make to the final 8. I also really like Judith. I like Sarah's voice, but she needs to improve her stage presence. She doesn't command it like she could. I think Caroline should go though. I am done with her unique voice and think she is an easy eliminate.
On Usher's team, I fucking hate Josiah. I want him gone NOW. He is pretty, but he doesn't really have the pipes. He is a pretty boy, so I guess he might stay in for a bit, but I really want him to leave. Cathia is likely the one to be eliminated though. My favorites on Usher are Michelle Shamuel (which sounds like a made up last name if I ever heard one) and Vedo.
Blake: I do not care for the Swon Broathers. I would be happy to see them go. I am okay with the other three, but I think Holly and Danielle are really really good.
Shakira: I want Garrett gone so badly I can taste it. I just think he is barely talented and that song choice made my teeth itch. "Imagine", really? Ugh. I am all about Sasha though. Karina is my #2 on the team. If Garrett or Kris goes, I will be okay.

So I wouldn't have saved the Swon Brothers or Garrett, because seriously.
I do like that they did the eliminations all quick -- no, "Here's one person saved, one more after Rod Stewart," no, "We'll have Blake's decision when we get back."

Also, I am here to report that watching 5 hours of The Voice is a row is a little much.
