Sometimes when I'm sitting in class... You know, I'm not thinking about class, 'cause that would never happen. I think about kissing you. And it's like everything stops. It's like, it's like freeze frame. Willow kissage.

To understand what happened at the diner, we shall use Mr. Papaya! This is upsetting because he's the friendliest of fruits.

This is EXACTLY what Stephen and I said. Who the hell was Camille? This season's contestants are lacking personality, or at least distinguishable personalities.

The good news is, this was the first episode where I felt everyone was actually on it, meaning we can expect to see every competitor from here on out.

was it here where we were talking about the rumor that she divorced Rushdie because she was having an affair with Colicchio.

That's been going around, and though serious body language gives it some weight, I've heard elsewhere that they're just friends and that it was Mr. Rushdie who's been stepping out. But the gossip columns? Not so reliable. Besides, Padma is mine!

Sam and Uli? That's...odd.

Huh. Yeah.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

So Uli prattled on and Sam just sat there and looked pretty? Sounds about right to me.

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

Jesse, Are you watching Big Brother?

Because books.

Uli? Uli's name is fun to say and all, but I would much rather see Sam with someone else.

Like ... Harold.

Except perhaps Hung. Especially if Marcel is, indeed, Hung's monkey.

Embrace the idea that we are the leaders we've been looking for. Grace Lee Boggs

SYTYCD: I had a hard time watching after Nigel "Birthday Boy" Lithgoe's whine about complaints about the last eliminations. Nigel is really starting to annoy me to the point where it's harder for me to even watch the dancers. Which is stupid and a shame, because I thought the dancers did well.

That synchronized swimming doc on PBS: I kept flipping over to this at the ads. I thought it was kind of hysterical. I know it's hard work, and understand that you have to be dedicated, but these people seemed to have no idea that they were talking about synchronized swimming. That one girl who moved away from family and friends and put in 6 hours a day 6 days a week because she wanted a TeamUSA jacket just made me laugh and cry. I mean, do it because you love it, but because you want a jacket? Whoah. And this was the same one who did her solo to Schindler's List. Yikes.
