NFNS - apparently, FN let the cat out of the bag and announced the winner and put the losers exit interviews up on their website last night. (And then took them down I believe.)

If you're going through hell/keep on going/don't slow down/keep your fear from showing/you might be gone/'fore the devil even knows you're there

Whoops.

If I cared more I'd google. Sadly...

“Not dead yet!”

I haven't watched the show with anything approaching diligence (a snippet here and there) but from what little I saw, I have a good guess who it is, especially based on who the final three are.

Danger is my middle name, only I spell it R. u. t. h. - Tina Belcher.

I voted for Will! I voted for Mark, too. I think it was the Melinda Doolittle effect. Everyone thought everyone was voting for him/her, so some people didn't vote for him/her.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Wow, I'm really shocked about Will, and agree that he didn't get votes because everyone assumed he would be fine. Yikes!

Oh, now I read that not only did they name the winner, post the exit interviews with the losers - they also added the winner's tv show to their drop down menu.

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

sumi, I read the same thing. I think it is kind of hilarious.

I'm actually away on vacation, so I won't now feel pressed to watch the show. I know who the winner is, so that's fine with me.

I know!

The incompetence is just amazing. But it does mean that I know I made the right decision in choosing the Mad Men premiere over the NFNS finale.

In makeover-show news, I think the women on this week's What Not To Wear (Olympic hopeful swimmer) and How To Look Good Naked (curvy mother) were wearing the same dress! Or very similar, anyway. It makes me want to get one, since it apparently looks good on anyone.

I really like How To Look Good Naked, and I think a big part of it is that just looking at your body a lot and focusing on how it looks OK goes a long way.

I haven't watched the results show for SYTYCD even though I know the result (I hadn't watched it, and forgot and clicked on TWOP, and was SHOCKED. And then I gave in and read their recap, and came here). Now I'm just not watching it because until I watch it it won't be true. How can it be true? SO RIDICULOUS. SOOOOO ridiculous. I mean, yes, clearly he's got quite a career ahead of him, no worries there, but...WTF, America?? I wanted a couple more weeks of gorgeous, amazing, pretty, and GOOD, on my TV screen!! And, preferably, shirtless! Don't get me wrong, I love Mark, but...WTF, America?
