I didn't watch, but the recaps said they mostly sucked pretty hard. Cougar!Bait, the little 16 year old, and the tattooed songwriter guy were the people who sucked least. (No, it is too early to learn names.)

Because books.

I loved Andrew Garcia, the one who did Straight Up in audition, and FOB's Sugar We're Going Down last night, is good. Cougar Bait, aka Casey something, will be good, but I was actually embarrassed by the shenanigans about his looks. And I like the big guy, Mike?, whose wife was giving birth during the auditions. Everyone else seemed awful.

I need to not watch RuPaul's Drag Race right before bed. Those RuPaul songs they use all the time, the "jealous of my boogie" and the CoverGirl song get seriously stuck in my head and make it hard to sleep!

This seems about right. I'm really hoping a lot of this is nerves. Or, maybe this will just free up a lot of time in my TV schedule going forward.

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.

This seems like the right place to post this... ANTM watchers, have you seen what Yoanna House looks like now? [link]

She claims it's weight gain and sleep deprivation from having a child, and too much bronzer. Well, and a boob job. But she just looks... plastic.

Wow. That's awful. And she was so gorgeous once.

Of course, even with weight gain she still looks skeletal to me.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Woah, she looks like a totally different person. And I don't buy that it's weight gain -- her face looks thinner/more sculpted!

So, is my cable guide right and there's no new PR tonight?

That's what TVGuide says, too. Maybe just to avoid competing with the Olympics? Bummer.
