Ever since seeing this video [link] I've been obsessed with Paul Potts on Britain's Got Talent. Last I heard he made the Semis and was a pretty good bet for the finals.
My husband sent me the link to those videos yesterday, connie. He's amazing! I love the fact that audience adored him, too, because I bet only a very small percentage of them listen to opera anywhere near regularly.
He has a great voice but I think he's so likable because he's such a humble guy. I love the first video connie linked to where you can see Simon Cowell sort of drop his jaw and actually focus in on the guy.
What do people think of this season's Top Chef?
I think it was not exactly fair to force people to pick such a wide variety of proteins. Alligator tail and razor clams are supposed to be comparable?
I like the guy who stood up to Anthony Bourdain. Points for having guts.

I loved that! It seemed like the perfect way to earn Bourdain's respect. I hope there is more Bourdain this season.
I loved the challenge!
I think that the contestants are so much better overall than last seasons.
ION, A&E has a new show about a matchmaker that is on RIGHT NOW. So far, enjoyable.
I like this season of "Top Chef." The chefs seem so much more skilled than last season's assholes. I agree that last week's challenge had too many varied kinds of meat (i.e. best tender, best in soups, don't overcook). I wish they had a small very basic book on guidelines and rules for the more exotic meats so that people who picked last weren't so inconvenienced.
I love the smell of new thread in the morning.

in the morning...at night.
Yay, awesome new thread!
SYTYCD and Top Chef are pretty much justifications for summer for me. And so far, I'm really enjoying both of them.
Tony Bourdain, on this week's ep, seriously makes my heart flutter. I love that man.
Joey, though, is going to be a problem. I mean, there's always That One Dude? But there's being competitive and there's being an asshole.
First Winner Guy and Not First Winner Guy, though, did some gorgeous, and technically brilliant food. They deserved to be up there. I can't believe NFWG got the black chicken as tender as he did!
Yay for new seasons!
