I'm just using "Afganimals" because that's how they refer to themselves. They are total American brodudes who are I think are obnoxious.

Honestly, the self-nickname "Afghanimals" is part of the whole douchebag package, and it's not the prefix "Afghani-" that's the problem. Calling themselves the "Americanimals" would be equally douchey.

So completely this.

What Suzi said. It's not that they're awesome (though they had their moments I good and bad) but they aren't what I was worried they would be/be edited as.

Survivor: Whoa! HUGE move by Caleb. Who knew he had it in him?

I KNOW. He could do so much better than that tool he's dating.

Bryan Fuller on Face Off, cool! I love how delighted he looked while doing the close up inspections.

Some pretty cool designs this week, but nothing I'm totally in love with.

Roy got lucky again.

I agree on all points, -t. Bryan Fuller was clearly delighted with _everything_. It was awfully sweet.

Roy does good work, but his ambitions get the better of him.

Tate is my favorite, both for his vision and his temperament.

Miranda is super talented but, lordy, what a brat. The other cast members have been carrying her far too much, which I think they've finally cottoned on to in the most recent episode.

Laney has been squeaking by and, I predict, will be the next to go.

This is one of my guilty pleasures. I can't tear my eyes away from it.

I was thinking how impressed I am with the big names they get, but they are mostly behind-the-scenes types who are probably pretty excited to be asked to do this!

(Also, I'm sure the number of people in Hollywood who would do anything Vee Neil asked is huge, not to even get into the rest of the people involved with the show.)

This is sad. I remember him from that season.
