"We are the Goon Squad and we're coming to town...Beep! Beep!" - David Bowie, "Fashion"

I'm betting it comes down to Symon v. Besh. I'm rooting for Symon.

This is me as well. Still haven't seen the most recent episode, though.

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.

Okay, that blog was just slightly completely adorkable. Just the smallest little bit.

Trust my rage

Seriously adorkable.

Oh, and I tried one of those frozen dinners he's pushing and they are really, really good.

This isn't really Reality tv-related but the fourfour is the funniest ever (AGAIN!) today:

I actually laughed out loud looking at that. I wish he wasn't such an internet superstar, because how are we going to become BFFs now??

My sister on the Next Great American Band (which I have not seen):

One of the bands, Cliff Wagner and Ol’ #7 – the token bluegrass band – are friends of ours. The bluegrass community here (Jim calls it the bluegrass underground) is quite excited to have old Cliff on the TV and we actually even voted for him last night. We know Cliff from our Boston days, when in one of the first couple years there, Jim brought this skinny (he’s not skinny anymore) kid home who he’d met playing the banjo in Harvard Square. He slept on our floor for a couple of nights and he and Jim played together on and off for the couple years he was in Boston. Then Cliff moved to NYC and we lost track of him. Well, the first year we were in LA Jim went to a jam and looked across the room at this pudgy older guy who was playing banjo and thought the playing sounded familiar and to make a long story short they recognized each other. Cliff tried several times to get Jim to be his guitar player, but Cliff really wanted a full time band and Jim’s wife thought that giving up your teaching job (with health insurance, a paycheck and a pension) to join this bluegrass band was not a good idea.
