I hate to break it to you, oh impotent one, but you're not the big bad anymore, you're not even the kind of naughty.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

Finally got around to watching NFNS last night - they really are just begging for Top Chef to sue them, aren't they? (Though I can't tell if Giada is supposed to be Padma or Tim Gunn.)

Anyway, I was glad to see Alexis get the boot. He was so nervous the entire time it was making my skin crawl. And if Doreen can't manage to crack a smile, she can go next.

I can see why Dzintra was rejected three times - she really is wound up tight. But I also felt bad that the other contestants were so dismissive of her being sent to the ER - it would have been nice of the producers to step in and say "This was a call our medical team made, not Dzintra's choice."

ITA. I thought both the other contestants and the judges were very harsh on her considering that it didn't look like the medical person was giving her a choice.

I don't watch America's Got Talent, but I have to say that I love this clip from yesterday's show of "Prince Poppycock" singing the famous aria from The Barber of Seville. The voice isn't top-notch, but the performance is fantastic!

It's really incredible they're only picking five girls and give guys.
