You know, it seemed like this was such a great group, and they can sing,

I never got that, though I've heard it said a lot here and elsewhere. I didn't see much star potential there from the get go, really. Which to me explains why D. Cook keeps staying on top, and why nobody can let go of D'Archie. They're as close as it gets this season.

That's what I mean. As opposed to other seasons, where there were plenty of people who I thought weren't even good singers. This seasons, I think people like Syesha and Archie can sing, I just have no interest in their performances.

Megan is me. I tune most of their performances out. If I can, then they aren't doing something right. ND performed a song I'd never heard before and his voice is starting to go, but I listened to and watched the whole thing. He's a performer.

That's how I feel about a lot of what David Cook has done. He doesn't have the best voice, but it has been interesting.

The other David just creeps me out. I don't think Justin is a good singer, but I'll also cop to be prejudiced against him because he looks so much like one of my exes. I might like Syesha if she ever chose a song I knew.

Now, on this Elimination Challenge: Feed a family of four for ten bucks? At Whole Foods?! Have you ever been to Whole Foods? It costs $10 to drive past the place. I once brought an organic melon to the checkout in a Whole Foods in Chicago, and it rang up at $12! (Needless to say, that melon stayed in the store.)

Project Runway Season 6 will film in LA and NYC.

I wonder how this splitting between two coasts thing is going to work.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.

Survivor: Aww, so sad about James. He dealt with it well, but I thought he could go all the way.

Thought Amanda played things VERY well. Definitely gets points on the "outwit" scale for that make-everyone-vote-for-me ploy.

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

What scrappy said. The show has kept me interested through the loss of good characters via good suspense.

Another fun tribal council, for sure.
