Yep. I enjoyed Lauren A. A lot. Probably helps that I've never heard that song before so I have no expectation about what it was supposed to sound like. I just thought she sang well. The song was fun and she had fun and she filled the stage up.

On a totally separate note, Alek Wek on ANTM is faaaaabulous!

Alek Wek is fabulous ... the models in the competition? I can't get enthusiastic about any of them. I may have burned out on ANTM.

I was terrified for Carla because Tom kept mentioning things about the vegetables lacking, despite way praising the broth.

Me too! But I think that the last chef was going to get that edit no matter what.

TC - Mike is still a jerk but of course, now that Antonia is "family" he's rooting for her, as opposed well..forever when he hated her and thought she should go home. I was sorta hoping that he'd go. I was glad about the outcome, and how nice was it that not only did the cheftestants get their geneology done, but a family visit too (Carla's husband was just beaming while they were talking about her food.. what a cutie!)

Toddson, totally agree. I frankly don't care about any of them, and we may delay the rest of the season until the summer when there is nothing on or ya know, never.

Richard's sourpuss face whenever he doesn't win is getting on my last nerve. I'd hate to break the news to you, buddy, but the women on this show have just as much a right to be there as you do! And I'm getting really sick and tired of Mike getting all pissy about Carla's simple yet tasty food. She decided to do something completely different for the quickfire challenge and won--deal with it.

Survivor-- Woo Hoo! I was thrilled to see Russell get taken out.

I like what we see emerging from tribe members who were not prominent earlier. Looks like there are some strong players on both tribes. Also, I am digging the whole Redemption Island thing. You have to think about who you vote off from the very beginning.

I'm kinda with you on that, but OTOH, I hate that people feel like they have to be happy when others win. My favorite Oscar moment ever was when they were announcing the winner of best supporting actor, and you know how they have the tight shot of the nominees? Well, when someone other than Samuel Jackson won, you could clearly see him saying "Damn!" it was hilarious! Everyone else had a frozen smile on their face.

fixed that for ya.

ha!

I think it's possible to be frustrated with not winning while still being gracious about it. Richard is just a dick.
