Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here

My restaurant experience consists of eating, and I think I could run a restaurant better than these people-- they are nutcases!

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

And sorry for all the posts. I know it was an obnoxious amount. But y'all had two weeks off from me and I really, really missed you!

Thanks, Sail. And I fear it's only gonna get worse when SYTYCD comes back. But more folks seem to post about that show, so it won't look so bad.

I stopped watching AI about a month ago, so I stopped posting about it, but I read your posts to see if I'm missing anything.

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."

I haven't seen HK from last night, but I too am startled by how little restaurant experience this bunch has had. Undercooked meat being served to customers? WTF?

I just don't get what casting was thinking. I enjoyed last year, so this is a disappointment.

AI has been boring for a few weeks now. I hope they do a better job picking contestants next year.

Apparently AI's ratings are DOWN - at least for AI.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Friends don't let friends read "Atlas Shrugged"

I don't watch AI regularly, but the little bits I've seen have bothered me - it seems like a lot of the contestants take a perfectly nice song and then ... I'm not sure how to put it - they overwork it. I don't know if they're trying to put their own style on it, or if they're encouraged to do something "different" with it, or what. But the end result irks me.

Top Model finale tonight! I'm still calling it for Anya -- if only because I don't know how they get Whitney into the final fashion show.

Yeah, but Tyra REALLY wants a "plus size" model to win it.

I know, I know. But still!

But the thing is, Whitney really sucks! I mean, she's pretty, but her commercial wasn't good, and most all of her pictures they've been like "It's OK because you're pretty, but it's not GREAT"

So it would be a shame if she won just because they want a plus size girl to win.

Yeah, she's not had a real shining moment at all.

I wish we could all watch together tonight!
