oh, and about "Shear Genius":
I am so upset and appalled by the finale results that I am not watching this show again. I feel like the judges spat on me.
I usually can take results of show and not like them and move on, but I stopped watching "Big Brother" and I'm going to stop watching this show too.
No redeeming value.
I have no doubt that Kara loves her some Big Mike. After all, he brought her to tears the first time he sang This Woman's Work, and last night he sang it even better than in the semi-final rounds. I just don't think he's ever going to be your next American Idol. I read a couple of other AI boards (Shocking, I know!) and opinion on him is decidedly split. There are those that like him, but a ton of folks just can't get over the cheese factor.
I wish I'd been there this week instead of for the Demi/Miley/Joe Jonas fiasco.
Today's report from Nigel:
I am positive #kingofkrump Will be happy to know that Comfort: #@comfortIVREAL is a #SYTYCD All-Star. She's a bucc hop hop dancer. Phabb!!
Comfort was really the best choice for hip hop girl. She is serious. I wish we could get Josh as well, but I don't think we'd get Twitch and Comfort and Joshua. Season 4 overload.

Since I didn't care at all, I mostly think it's hilarious that after a season of trying to do nice hair, the last two challenges let Brig do what every crazy-ass shit she could come up with, and get praised for it. So unfair.
It was ridiculous. She didn't do hair! She put stuff on top of hair! Ugh.
I hated this season. They need to get it together, with a consistent host and judges, and some decent challenges and contestants.
EW mentions Pandora Boxx in the Bullseye feature this week. Favorably-- they call her their favorite
Christ, I hope they all get hoist on their sexist-ass petards.
Survivor:
No surprises tonight, I don't think. I'm not quite sure what the person voted out thought would happen, but actions/inactions have consequences and that's that.
but I did get the feeling that the best dish lost.
What did you have pegged as the best?
I agree, a team challenge for the first round is bizarre. I wasn't even able to get a good sense of what each chef's style is, which ais a big part of the fun for me.
