"We have trust issues." Mylar

MTV is running a marathon of S1 America's Best Dance Crew! Another Sunday lost to dance based reality tv.

Jabbawookeez are a really, really good crew. I don't know how they're going to find anyone better this season.

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

Did we know about this?

Ted’s new series, ‘Food Detectives,' to premier July 29th on Food Network
9 p.m. ET/PT Tuesdays

Ted joins the Food Network family to explore the delicious connection between science and food in the new series “Food Detectives.” The half-hour, primetime show mixes a healthy dose of humor with a wealth of fascinating factoids. Aided by willing culinary techs and the brains from Popular Science magazine, the series will conduct experiments to find the truth behind the most interesting food myths and questions. Ted and his team will dig deep to answer such questions as: Does it really take seven years for gum to digest in your stomach? Is the five-second rule true? Can an “apple a day” really keep the doctor away? Viewers can also get in on the fun by submitting their most puzzling food conundrums for potential show experiments.

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

I had heard Ted had a show coming. I'm a bit surprised that it's going to be a Mr. Wizard type show.

I just realized there hasn't been any NFNS talk in here this morning! Did we all Tivo the 1am repeat to watch the Tony's instead, or was it just that boring?

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

It was kind of boring, but Martha Stewart was kind of great.

NFNS: I think I sprained my eyes rolling them over listening to the Tracey-Flick-a-like and The Bob squee over Martha Stewart coming to the presentation. Not enough @@ in the world.

Art Crawl!!!

It was okay. They got rid of one of the people they needed to and I think that last week's two best were this week's two best.

I can't believe Nipa (?) made a two-ingredient product, though. What a loser! I mean, seriously.

Yeah, she's on the road to elimination.

I would have gladly seen Nipa go over Geoffrey, but Geoffrey did have to go. With his level of self-delusion, he really should have been on Hell's Kitchen, not NFNS.
