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.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."

SYTYCD: Agree. Oh, Teddy. I like that he`s moved past whimsical; that while his movement is still unique, his expression has matured. If he can pull off a quietness like his mania, he`ll be stunning. There were lots of lovely dancers, but also not a lot of real crowd standouts for me. I did like the mom. And a couple of those shirtless ballet/contemporary boys, whoo.

I am SO MAD! I put SYTYCD as a season pass on my TiVo two weeks ago when it showed up as a show...and suddenly it decides there are no showings, and it didn't record tonight!!! I got home at 9pm figuring there'd be an hour already recorded and there was NONE!! GRRRR. Had to change and add a new season pass and don't have the first hour. HRMPH.
