I don't see the Food Network forcing AB out anytime soon.

I'm probably just parnoid, but I would have said the same thing about Emeril a couple of years ago - I was surprised, though not remotely upset, when they decided to not do Emeril Live anymore.

I think that AB's role at FN is more diverse than Emeril's.

Blogging SYTYCD has quit, so can anyone do a quickie recap of last night for the tv-free? Who went home? I saw the oh nos, but can't interpret!

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.

Project Rungay has another comic up by their special guest straight cartoonist. Words cannot express my love. I'm just sitting here flailing.

Emeril Live is going to the Fine Living network, so the decision may have been made for them.

Isn't FLN owned by the same folks as FN? Or is it that FN is owned by the people that own HGTV not the people who own FN?

I am inconsolable over the SYTYCD results. Such a travesty. I think I'm more upset for Mark than I was for Danny last season. At least Danny made F4 (and maybe top 2 if you believe the order of elimination, which eh). It's criminal that Mark is out at top 6. Now I know how Pasha fans must've felt last year.

I am also really sad for the finale next week, because I think we are not even going to come close to the level of quality dancing that was on display last season. I was no fan of the Hunchback, but he turned it out in that Mandy Moore table dance with Sabra, and he and Danny were fire in Two Princes. What kind of pieces are they going to be able to set on Josh and Twitch? They can't just do hip hop all the time. And while Josh has shown that he can handle other styles, Twitch is sooooo limited. Bleagh.

Katee FTW, I say.

ETA: I thought I'd be more broken up about Chelsie going out, but I'm surprisingly OK with it. I really like Courtney. Have done since I saw her in the audition round with her adorable grandparents. And she's a beautiful dancer with great technique and a lot of power (if sometimes a little affected)
