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

I guess she got bonus points for degree of difficulty.

Yeah, right after I heard the song last night I thought she would get a lot of votes-- it seemed very difficult and it's, let's not kid ourselves, a hugely popular song. And then everyone was saying that she made a mistake choosing a song that people would compare her to Whitney for, but she was a'ight, dawg.

Dolly! Still love her even if I would never listen to that song.

I have to wonder why Simon still does this. He never looks interested in what's going on, rarely has anything nice to say and just brings the whole atmosphere down with his po'face. He's a big enough wig he could find someone else to do this for him.

Oh, the show would lose a lot of audience without Simon, and he knows it. Doesn't matter what the crowd does, lots and lots of people watch the show to see what he says. Same with Pop Idol too, I'd wager.

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

Top Chef: Dear DOG! Andrew is a total douche who needs to be sent home NOW! Him and his fucking jaunty hat wearing twin doucebag Spike. His comment about Dale wanting to join their pair because he knew he was weaker on skills despite the fact that Dale had just won the quickfire challenge?!?!? Andrew deserves to be on Hell's Kitchen, despite the skills he's shown.

Fuck! I was PRAYING they'd send Spike and his FUCKING STUPID FUCKING HATS on his merry fucking way!

Having not watched this show before this season, let me guess - they tend to keep the alpha assholes of the losing teams around rather than the beta nice folks? I guess it makes better television.

Wow. Getting more worked up about this than I usually am about this kind of show. Hmm, maybe that = compelling television after all.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.

Big Brother is making me laugh and laugh and laugh.

I can't believe Joshuah thinks he can cry well, or that Adam bought it.

"We have trust issues." Mylar

Yeah, Spike boot is long overdue. Although, really, what a bunch of sour lemon, sore losers. You know that team Willie Wonka's flavor combos did not taste good, do you Zoe? 100% sure bout that? Eww. There has been some really poor sportsmanship on display in that losers lounge this season. When Dale comes off as one of the less douche-y people in the episode? That's not good. Where's Miguell to hiss at folks when you need him?

ION, I swear I'm trying to get excited about this Bravo dance show, but I can't. Which is crazy talk because I LOVE dance shows. (DWTS doesn't count because it is not a dance show) Is it Elizabeth Berkley? Is it the fact that the dancers look about a million years old - and not that good? I'll be watching tomorrow night. But I'm not nearly as excited as I should be.
