I would love to see blind judging on Top Chef.

A chef picked his own mentee for worst taste this week on The Taste. I love when that happens.

I just got an email from someone in Wapakoneta, OH, wanting to come to the classes I teach at work (103 miles from Wapakoneta.) I suggested some other libraries closer to her, but it made me think of the Wapakoneta Kid, so I came to tell you about it.

Aw! Wapakoneta kid!

...when does SYTYCD come back? I miss it. Or some other dance show. Or something.

Oh, Kent! He was such a cutie patootie. I'm still kinda surprised that Toothy Blonde Cheerleader beat him out for America's Favorite Dancer that season, although TBC really grew on me. I was rooting for her by the end!

SYTYCD seems like it has been gone for sooo long. I think I just got spoiled that year we had like three seasons in a row. Anyway, it won't be back for a while. AI just started and that thing is going to be around forever. I think we are back to SYTYCD just being a sweet summer trifle.

Speaking of Idol, someone needs to ban "Radioactive" as an audition song. And I LIKE that song.

De-lurking just long enough to post this:

Life after SYTYCD

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

Huh. Well, that sounds like an interesting idea, and possibly a good vehicle for him.

Fucking Nick. At least Nina made it, too. I did feel sorry for (memfault) who battled through 8 rounds of LCK only to get knocked out.

It was a little heartbreaking to see Louis go home after all that. Shirley, too, though.

I can't totally begrudge Nick the place in the final because it seemed like he really relaxed and upped his game once he got to Hawaii. But I just don't like him the way I like Nina (or Shirley or Louis).

"We have trust issues." Mylar

I knew it! I knew these judges would find a way to get Nick into the finale and mess up my dream Nina/Shirley death match. Bah. Well, that makes it easy for me to know who I'm rooting for in the finale.

I am happy that Shirley found her voice as a chef and I would totally go to her restaurant whenever she opens one up in a city near me. I couldn't feel too badly for Louis because I barely remembered him and I don't watch LCK, so I wasn't familiar with his epic 8 match win streak and I wanted Carlos to come back anyway, soooo....also, he seemed clearly out of his depth as compared with the other three both in the Quickfire and during the elimination challenge.

AI: I am still loving the new panel. HCJ is magic and JLo is just as gorgeous as ever and last night they showed her in all her Fly Girl glory on In Living Color and it was fabulous. Still way too many kids for me to care at this point.
