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.
Gunn: The final score can't be rigged. I don't care how many players you grease, that last shot always comes up a question mark. But here's the thing. You never know when you're taking it. It could be when you're duking it out with the Legion of Doom, or just crossing the street deciding where to have brunch. So you just treat it like it was up to you—the world in balance—'cause you never know when it is.

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.

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?

I think it was not exactly fair to force people to pick such a wide variety of proteins. Alligator tail and razor clams are supposed to be comparable?
I like the guy who stood up to Anthony Bourdain. Points for having guts.

I loved that! It seemed like the perfect way to earn Bourdain's respect. I hope there is more Bourdain this season.

I loved the challenge!
I think that the contestants are so much better overall than last seasons.
ION, A&E has a new show about a matchmaker that is on RIGHT NOW. So far, enjoyable.
