I guess the two bottom contestants were the right choices, but there were a couple of moments during the cheftestant judging where the judges were giving WTF looks to the negative comments. I'm hoping they clarify that a bit in the blogs.

I call shifty editing on that. There's no way Group A said ALL negative things and Group B was all sunshine and rainbows and justice. I've liked this challenge in past seasons, but this year the drama edits have got me annoyed.

very much annoyed. before I watched the show last night I thought to myself: should I watch the ep? I kind of care more about America's Got Talent at this point - and that isn't a good sign.

AGT is not a good show.

I call shifty editing on that.

That's my guess too.

Colicchio sez:

While they sounded harsh, and while it seemed as though the members of the second group were being strategic in selecting Kenny’s dish for elimination, they were actually generally fair-minded, usually correct, and most certainly correct about Kenny’s dish, which, despite his posturing, was the weakest in his group. And yes, it was weaker than Amanda’s cartilage-laced Chicken Gallantine. Please trust me on that.

Can I have just one of Colocchio's babies? Just one? A little one?

I think he has an 8-month old...

Well then obviously he needs another one!

But....I'm actually liking Lauren. How did THAT happen???

I've liked Lauren since the beginning! I don't understand why so many people didn't. I think she's incredibly adaptable, and really talented. Cute as a button, too.

I will never like misha chan. TBC, though, I liked in Vegas, then suddenly disliked after, now am coming back around to. Maybe just because Alex is gone and the herd has thinned.

And also, I want Jose and Robert gone so bad that I'm rooting for Lauren by default. I do think that she seemed like a "type" they have on this show, but ended up not really being that so I've come aorund.
