I was sad to see Cynthia Lee Fontaine go. She's one of the better PR Queens they've had for sure. I agree that the cannon fodder queens this season are way better than some of the last couple of seasons' queens have been. Although, I'm ready to let go of both Derek Barry and Naomi Smalls. They bore me.

I don't know if anyone is watching Survivor, I have met and talked with Neal. It was after it had been filmed but before he was announced as a survivor. It was rough seeing him go from an infected boo-boo on his knee in the last episode.

Thrive to spite them

So the Idol Finale is going to be 2 hours.

I guess they raced through the season so they are slowing that down. But man, I really wish I knew what Dalton would have sung.

Mostly I want LaPorsha's performances up so I can watch them again.

I did not see that American Idol result but it makes sense.

I thought the AI finale was great and I loved seeing all the old Idols and seeing Randy, Paula, Simon, and Ryan all together on the stage one last time. I felt kind of badly for La'Porsha and Trent because that final really wasn't about them. They got to sing once very early on and then at the end they were back in focus when Ryan announced the winner, but for the most part they were relegated to the background. My highlight moments were Kelly's greatest hits medley, the Fantasia/JHud/Latoya sing along, and Carrie and Keith rocking out. All supremely satisfying. But really, I enjoyed all the Idols past comeback moments. I even tolerated Lee Dewyze on that Bowie tribute which is the first time I've ever tolerated him in anything. I will miss this show, dammit. But it was time for it to go.

The teaser commercial for SYTYCD Junior (or whatever it's called) made me so sad. I don't know if I can, y'all. It was bad. Real, real bad. I very much do not want.

Yeah, I'm debating if I even want to have the TiVo record it, which is a step beyond "record but then delete without watching". I also gave up on Amazong Race this year without even trying.

I will not be watching SYTYCD Rugrat. I dislike reality shows with children generally.

Friends don't let friends read "Atlas Shrugged"

Is that what they're going to do? (I remain oblivious except what I see here.) The auditions will be horror shows.

They are also adding Dance Moms kid Maddie Ziegler to the judges panel and I just don't think I can. It's going to pain me because SYTYCD is my jam. But just...no. No thank you. I mean, I didn't like that they used to let 18 year olds on the regular show, so I sure don't want to see an entire season's worth of dancing babies. I also think they are going to reinforce the very worst competition kids habits and prioritizing of tricks over technique and I am not down with that at all.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Nope, nope, nope, nope.
