Sing-off is worth watching just to see the complete meltdown Shawn has every time Committed sings. It's a thing of beauty.

Also, his hair terrifies me, but I love Ben Folds Five.

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."

I agree. Committed is really an excellent group. I thought their performance was just wonderful.

flea, I was just going to write that I would love to get my shears on Ben Folds. There is no reason his hair needs to look like that.

No reason.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."

I swear I tried to tune in for Sing-Off, but I cannot for the life of me figure out what time it's on. I suck at this non-Tivo thing. I need to get my damned box in to a phone line.

It says, 8/7c. That usually means 8 Eastern and delayed to 8 Pacific, right? And 7 Central, and Damn You, Mountain. And of course, Arizona is none of those, but it's sometimes Mountain and sometimes Pacific. Right now it's Mountain. So it should have been 9, because I generally get West Coast delays? But it wasn't on then. So maybe it was 6? But last time I tuned in at 6 and it wasn't on for two more hours! So that would have made it 8 my time, which makes no sense, unless I was getting my own special Mountain delay? In which case it should have still been on when I tuned in at 9, because it's two hour? Right?

Argh. This is why I can't watch television.

I watched it this morning on the NBC Web site

Yeah, I don't have the bandwidth. Pout.

Top Chef -

Okay, first of all THERE IS NO SUCH THING AS A BRONTOSAURUS. Good lord, how did AMNH let them get away with that?

Second of all, I'm concerned about Jen. Her dish looked *terrible* and her behavior, well...I'm pretty sure she was high at Judges' Table. She wasn't just obnoxious, she was off somehow. So I hope she gets whatever help she needs now that she's off the show.

Third of all, while Team Apatasaurus' food definitely looked tastier than Team T-Rex's, it wasn't particularly breakfasty. Did everyone assume someone else was going to make the pancakes, or did they collectively decide it just wasn't worth it without butter?

Well, they could have had lots of syrup and fruit toppings. Hmm, but can you make pancakes without eggs?

Okay, subbing soy or rice milk for the dairy - that would work. Assuming that they had soy or rice milk.

Oh, that's a good point. Not too many chefs are experts in vegan baking, I guess.
