I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

Yeah. Going for drama, I guess. Sigh.

Because books.

Jonathan's not an asshat! I don't think so, anyway.

I don't think so, either, but I think they'll find a way to send him home. But maybe not! I hope not.

Art Crawl!!!

I'm guessing since he's been down on the bottom half consistently that he'll be going home soon.

Fantasia + Christina + Kelly Clarkson + The Return of Pau Pau + Janet Frikkin Jackson = A very contented Kat.

I knew that Crystal wouldn't win. Tween power voters. Still, Lee is one of the most disappointing Idol winners of all time - Like Taylor Hicks-ian levels of disappointing. The talent gap between Lee and Mamasox is just staggering.

Still, Joe Cocker and Crystal were adorable. And Janet and her tremendo culo (Damn girl! Love the short hair, too). And Paula. Oh, Paula. You have been missed, girl.

check out this video of Crystal in 1999.

I cannot get over how young she looks and how good her voice was even back then.

She should look young, she was 13! She also has that same self-possession she has now. She probably could have won AI then, dude. (Okay, come in second.)

TC: I hate when the taste test is Name That Tune sauces. I like the single ingredient challenges.

The single ingredient is more interesting to watch. I thought it was weird that Kelly said what sauce it was before Susun named another ingredient, is that how they usually do? I don't watch the regular Top Chef, but Masters, for some reason, has sucked me in.

Wow. Glad I decided to watch SYTYCD instead of FlashForward, if only for Teddy's dance. I liked him last year, but that was incredible.
