Susan's dish -- it's unfortunate she lost on that, because I've had that dish, and it's one of the best things I've eaten in this town. It's crazy good.

Oh, we're starting with a pretty blond cheerleader. she's going to vegas.
eta: told ya!
ZOMG I hated that. Thee Dollhouse is two doors down, sweetheart.
I'm a little surprised the gymnast wasn't sent to choreography. I would think that partnering would be new and a test of her adaptability.
