At least it looks like they did all the tasks, instead of Nick going on another all-day hissy fit!

I wonder what the next season announcement is going to be? Celebrity Amazing Race? Another family season? All female teams? All teams from "New Jersey"?

It was kind of amazing to me how much fun most of the teams seemed to be having on that leg. Maybe knowing that Nick and Vicki were basically out of it took the pressure off for everyone including them?

Must be it. I need Nat and Kat or Brooke and Claire to win!

Tabitha's Salon show is on again and this is EXACTLY what I needed. Tabitha is my catharsis for real.

I just about died in last night ep when she showed up in her pajamas and they were all in pink. Tabitha says: did you think I sleep in black at night too?

And I'm thinking: "uh, yeah."

I know I'm misspelling her name!

Anybody watch The Sing-off last night? Fun.

TV Guide isn't showing The Fashion Show on tonight. Why?! I need Iman and Isaac to be fabulous on my TV tonight.

Is The Sing-Off the a capella one? That did look like a lot of fun.

It is! Nicole "Pussycat Dolls" Whatsherface is sort of a waste as a judge, but Ben Folds and Shawn Stockman are good. And the groups were a lot of fun.

Sing-Off: I did watch the Sing-Off and it was so much fun! I am glad the Berklee group is off because that was a whole giant smear of white privilege entitlement if I've ever seen it. Which is a shame and makes me worry, because Berklee's a great music school and I sometimes recommend it to my students. Hmph.

The old school group made me all teary. And the gospel boys tore it up, even though I was wincing all the way up to it. Also liked: the jazz group, the Yale group in their white gloves but I was so glad Stockman called them on the "we invented it" bullshit and I was glad they took it well when he did.

It's on again Wednesday? What's the format? I don't understand. It somehow slipped entirely past my radar during its first season. But I really enjoyed this episode. So much fun.

I think it's a short run, so I guess it's on more than once a week? I'm not sure, Liese, but I had to make a note to watch it on Wednesday, because I wasn't expecting that.

I do think the Berklee group was really good, though. I was suprised they went home before the high schoolers, who are good but still pretty young and a little unpolished.

I think my favorite is Streetcorner Symphony.

It's also free streaming on the NBC website, so I am watching it right now! Though I should save it for when I am at work on Dec. 24 and bored off my ass.

I loved the Yale guys' taste for self-mockery. They totally knew that the show was going to play up the elite historical white-tie bent, and picked the funniest possible song and performance to send that up from the get-go. While *still* showcasing the classic Whiffenpoof style.
