Thrive to spite them

The MacGuyver mythbuster sounds interesting.

Although I read some where that some of the stuff they did intentionally left off steps or ingredients so that people at home ..or young guys...woudln't try it.

Because books.

Okay, Amanda Overmeyer on AI is my new reality TV girlfriend. OMG, she's awesome. She's never going to win, I don't think, but I adore her. (Rock star nurse, for those just tuning in.)

Bland and boring. Most of that, her choice of song.

eta: The Amy chick, not Amanda (I haven't heard her, yet.)

eta2: Ha! Simon agrees with me.

Amy was not great, no. And "Where the Boys Are" needs to be rocked up, or otherwise updated, otherwise it's just pure syrup.

Oh, I liked that one. Brooke's got some chops.

Alex owned the stage, rocked the outfit, on pitch the whole way, but the song was just a little out of her reach. She doesn't have the grit in her voice for that song. I think it's one that's better done in a man's voice.

I loved it, but I do agree that "Spinning Wheel" is always better with a little growl.

Pretty voice, but nothing that stood out for me. It seemed like a singing lesson, not a performance.
