We're very stretchy. - Connie Neil

I still have no clue why Easy would be a guilty pleasure.

I know! When they announced what song they'd be doing, I thought "WTF?" Actually, I had the same thought about "Love Shack"--that's a rock classic, not a guilty pleasure. "Rock Lobster" is more of a guilty pleasure.

I'd love it if they had a round of folk songs for the groups to sing. It'd be great to hear an accapella version of John Denver's "Aye, Calypso," which is a guilty pleasure of mine.

Art Crawl!!!

I refuse to feel guilty about loving "Rock Lobster."

I really think only OTR and Streetcorner Symphony adhered closely to the guilty pleasure code. Kyrie and Come On, Eileen? I'll give you that. Easy is by no means a guilty pleasure. That's a straight up R&B classic. You Make My Dreams Come True is a great pop song (as is Love Shack). I know anything BSB qualifies as a guilty pleasure for some, but I Want It That Way was an absolute smash and stayed number one on the pop charts forever and ever. And it's an awesome song. Then again, I have BSB blinders. What I'm saying is, it's no Kyrie.

Because books.

"Easy" is, for me, AM radio in my mom's car when I was a kid. I love that song.

Because books.

I have the HUGEST music crush on Streetcorner Symphony tonight. Pure love. And man, did the judges ever pick the right song for them.

Seriously. Jeff is so over people not bothering to play the game.

Top Chef totally made up for last week with two excellent challenges. Except the eliminations were kind of BS.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Except the eliminations were kind of BS.

You think? Stephen was like, "Yeah, I don't really cook anymore... but this was fun!" And at least now there's just the one Dale? Still two Tiffan(y)(i)s, though.

Yeah, but Tiffani? With that mess?
