Because books.

I would imagine. And yeah, I guess I would be watching that anyway, so.

The first thing we're getting when we move is a goddamn DVR.

Check the 9:00 eastern timeslot--I think that might be the new ep.

Shit's all sorts of different now.

I just watched the show, why can't the hostess not talk, she's a total mush mouth.

Ok, her voice has been bugging me for so long, but I didn't want to say anything for fear it would be taken as ... I don;t know, offensive to say that since her accent is pretty heavy, but it's totally the mush mouth thing!!

Also, yes. I watch Salon Takeover. But I still miss her.'

I thought tonight's PR was the hardware store challenge?

At first I thought it was the accent, but as I listened more, that's not it, it's the way that she pronounces things (or doesn't, as the case may be)

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

I think the host needs intensive pronunciation training and support. I think this would be true if I were to be a host of a tv show in Mexico or France. Her vowels aren't quite right and given that she seems to have good comprehension of English, etc. I just think she needs 2 months with a vocal coach.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

AI: So, Ellen says they sounded better in the studio than when she watched it on TV.

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

That's what they all say.

I just listened to all the vocals (without video) and there were some that sounded better than I expected given the reactions. It's interesting, kind of like watching SYTYCD without sound. I do think our impressions are shaped as much by the visual of the performance as the vocal.

It makes sense -- she said she could hear the singers much more clearly on TV.
