I hope you don't think that I just come over for the spells and everything. I mean, I really like just talking and hanging out with you and stuff.

Punishingly Intricate

In other news of how much I love Stephanie, someone must have finally told her to watch her mouth, because there was the hilarious pause in an interview when she finally said, "freaking" and something else funny in the preview. "Holy shimoleys"? Or something.

Oh I LOVED that!!

Oh, oh my. I am so glad I have TiVo. I can't watch the audition rounds without it...especially the "I am Mormon and have seven children and am happy or have Down's syndrome and will dance this audition by god!!!!" stuff. Dear lord. FAST FORWARD.

Can we get to the real show already? Please?

I couldn't agree more. Sadly, we checked last night and there are two more 2-hour audition shows, and then they go to Vegas.

There were a few people I enjoyed watching audition, though. That one guy that did that incredible split jump. Wow! I was so glad to see he made it through choreography. But that little pageant queen? Ew, she makes me grind my teeth. Her smile is so fake. I can't believe she actually made it through.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

Bwahahahaha:

I could give a rat's a** who the producers or Bravo want to win or not win . What I've traditionally used the Glad Family of Bags for would probably not make a good commercial.

Oh Bourdain, how much do I love you.

Friends don't let friends read "Atlas Shrugged"

I don't watch any of the cooking shows except HK, but I have to put in that I love scallops and I love butterscotch, but the thought of butterscotch scallops makes my stomach turn. why? just ... why?

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

I'm watching a rerun of Top Chef's boxed lunch episode. I haven't really been watching this season, just keeping up through this thread and the Bravo site.

Spike, Lisa, and Andrew are the bottom three, and holy god, these people are assholes.
