But I hate Randy
Oh, Randy and Paula are the worst. Simon just tries to shut people down. When Randy and Paula get a hold to someone clearly terrible, they try to prolong the bullshit so they can laugh at them some more . . . like how Paula asked that dreadlocked boy who just kept singing that same phrase over and over again to sing something else? Evil. And yet, they're the "nice" ones. Feh.
I was upset that they put through that 16 year old kid who sang the John Mayer song. When will they learn about teen boys and this show? John Stevens, III? Keven Covais? Sanjaya, for pity's sake? 16 year old boys don't have the chops to hang on this show.
I think that's why they put him through. Simon may not like him, but he'll be drawing an audience/voters.
I just saw this very interesting interview with Mike Rowe. It's a business magazine, so it's much more serious and in-depth as to his career, past, present, and future.
Mmm, Mike Rowe. Smart, sexy and funny.
Good lord. So young! So dorky!
Aww, Phil! What a cutie.
Re AI: Worst episode of Idol ever? Even the "good" people were just a step up from sucky. And nobody was even entertainingly bad. I think Charleston might've topped Seattle as worst audition spot. (And I'll always have a soft spot in my heart for Seattle because it gave us Crack Baby!)
Project Runway: OMGWTF Ricky won a challenge! And, he cried! And Victorya is auf! And Christian pouted visibly when he didn't win.
My only problem is that I called both Ricky winning and Victorya losing half-way through the episode. Thanks, editing! Subtle!
Yeah, it was clear that Ricky was gonna win when he got the Tim schmooze for the first time ever. Yet and still, I call huge bullshit on behalf of my pretty, pretty Princess. Christian's outfit was fierce and I loved it. He totally should have won. And if not him, then Rami. Much as I disliked him last week, that dress was heaven. Ricky's dress was just not terrible, which admittedly was a step up for him, but it was nothing to write home about.
Not sad to see Victorya go. She hasn't really wowed me 'til now, and she was totally biting off of Jillian, who was biting off of Kara Saun's futuristic/military coat from way back in S1 (even though Kara's coat was amazing while Jillian's was . . . not). I was glad that Chris was safe again and didn't think the dress was nearly as bad as the judges seemed to.
