It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.

I thought Miss Alli went too far. In an episode I thought really great, I had to avoid the TwoP boards and read her recap wincingly because she was so single-minded. She's right, at least according to parts of Jaime's interview, that Jaime was aware that she had a false idol. But Jaime made so many mistakes in logic (James had to have dropped it, instead of hiding it, even though he had two other plaques) that the editors were right in showing her as dumb. And I hate her vendetta against the men who are bitchy in interviews, while she still likes Courtney. Frankly, I talk just like James does.

On the other hand, with this episode, I am coming around to her opinion on Todd. But unlike Alli, I don't use his poor reasoning and dislike of Courtney as a reason to literally hate him, as she seems to. I found his last-minute, totally inexplicable and unjustifiable change in voting poor strategy, but entertaining nonetheless.

She's totally my most fav contestant ever. Which is why I still read her LJ.

But I was glad Adrienne won that season.

Thrive to spite them

I'm not sorry Jamie got a stupid edit becuase she wasn't smart. All the other IIs found have said form of This is the Idol, not just a blank thing.

Art Crawl!!!

Tonight Jai Rodriguez' new show "Ultimate Style" premieres at 10 Central on the Style Channel. And last night while watching Blood Ties, I saw MANY ads for Carson Kressley's new show, "How to LooK Good Naked" but I cannot recall when it debuts.

TAR: Last week, I managed to completely block out the fact that Vixen was wearing cat ears in her turn-to-the-camera-and-smile intro shot. So unfortunate.

ETA: Boo. Not nearly long enough in Ireland. Wow, the Goths got up really early.

Ah, Hippie couple. Keep this up and I might really start to like you.

I don't care. Her little "I'm a big old dork" shrug when she was talking about the macramé made me love her forever.

Why, oh why, oh why, does TAR always have to air the bluck of its runs when I'm smack in the middle of a show, and can't ever watch it.

And why won't they sell on iTunes or rebroadcast the entire episode over the web. I WANT TO WATCH THE SHOW! But they make it so difficult to actually achieve this with the tech I have.

Don't get me wrong. I am loving the goths. Just the ears . . . I have to keep blocking them out is all.

And also, I cannot believe that it took the hippie couple that long to switch who was doing the hoisting and who was doing the receiving, especially after the obnoxious huge-tiny team switched and finished almost immediately.

Also, also, the blondes won a little bit of respect with busting out the hoist task.

OMG! I could not hate Who's Your Daddy? any more than I do right at this very moment. What an ass!

Man, that dad in the father/daughter couple is something else. I'll bet her siblings could have told her to count her blessings that he never had time to focus on her. He's appalling.
