I did! A kid who goes to West Chester University made it!

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.

I did too! I miss Shakira and Usher, but the vibe between the original 4 coaches seems better this time out, at least so far.

I miss Shakira and Usher, too, but I thought X-tina was better than she was before, more present. I think she's feeling the pressure because Shakira was so well liked last time around. Cee-Lo's tattoo hair is disturbing. I certainly hope that's henna.

I enjoyed Gloria Estefan's back up singer as well as the little black rugby player from PA and that was about it. The country girl who was a pageant coach was fun but one note. The 17 year old girl with the quirky voice was like every other 17 year old girl with a quirky voice they've ever had on this show. I'm exhausted by the nose ring boy with the crush on Adam already and it's only been one episode. I was less than impressed with both the stripey pants rocker girl and the porkpie hat rocker boy and I didn't get the last kid who got four chairs to turn around at all. He was very shout-y is the new good. If other people got through last night, I don't remember them.

I still enjoy the show but nowhere near as much as I used to. Adam and Blake need to take a break because their whole thing is getting tired now. Adam is still very pretty, though, in his douchebag way.

I also watched DwTS again last night and liked it again. Amber Riley is the bomb diggity and Jesse Spano and that kid from High School Musical are basically like watching pros, so that's enough good dancing to make me OK to sit through people like Bill Engvall and Snooki. Not OK with sitting through more Bill Nye because he is just so, so bad and last night his pants were way too tight in a way that I was not comfortable with at all, but I can just look away during that time.

Seriously.

Christina seems aware that she needs people to actually want to see her on this show this time around. I'm relieved Cee-Lo doesn't have a cat or whatever this season, and I'm kind of fascinated by the henna (I really hope it's henna).

I'm flipping out over the contestant on The Voice right now. So cool!

OMG I love this week's FaceOff challenge so much! I need more characters based on cubism just hanging around in the world.

I hope they that again and someone does some kickass surrealism. That movement was under served this competition.

Top Chef Masters: whee, the story-of-your-career finale is my favorite! Food with stories is the best. I think I like the whole sous chef addition, though the resulting obstacles were maybe too harsh, in general.

Right? Truly incredible, from concept through attention to detail right down to brushstrokes.
