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

Anyone but me still interested in NFNS? This week's was kind of a joke at judgement time - two of the top contestants who had a bad day....and Paul, Douchebag Extraordinaire. Was deliberation even necessary?

This is normally the point in the season where I'd say "Dude, just give it to Aarti already and stop wasting our time" but I'm actually really enjoying this season. They seem to have finally hit on a formula that's working for me.

Because books.

I am, but Leverage is interfering with it, and we're still DVRless. So I'm trying to catch up in reruns.

"Oh no! Has falling sky liquid once again caused you the sadness?" -Starfire

I was so glad Paul went home! He made me want to throw things at the screen! There actually seems to be quite a few decent contenders this year.

Design Star on the other hand, I just don't get. Why do they keep doing group challenges? Have they always done that and I've just forgotten? I'd like to see how these people design as individuals, not how they design as a group (especially with one person steamrolling over the rest - Nina I'm looking at you).

If you're going through hell/keep on going/don't slow down/keep your fear from showing/you might be gone/'fore the devil even knows you're there

Color me totally unsurprised that a Comedy Sportz guy came off as overbearing and offputting. I mean, in context it can be great, but it really doesn't translate.

Design Star - they're not even doing the on screen stuff except for the losers. NFNS manages to make that part interesting, DS seems to have just given up.

"We have trust issues." Mylar

This season's Design Star is completely underwhelming. The contestants are a fairly uninspiring bunch and the challenges have been ridiculous. I admit I've given up.

I tried to get started with NFNS, but it just seemed so clear that Aarti was ready for her close up while all the rest were less so, to varying degrees. I will be shocked if she doesn't win. Also, I always forget when it's actually on. When does it come on?

Sunday, like everything else in the world. Dunno what time since I usually catch the late night rerun with Tivo.

Friends don't let friends read "Atlas Shrugged"
