Hmm. It's sounds like the finest party I can imagine getting paid to go to.

Sail,

I think Tatiana's performances prior to tonight were performance art, so I have no sympathy for her. NONE.

Performance art, that's a good phrase for it. Yeah, I'm still not wowed by her. I like Jackie and Alexis much better than any of the other women.

I like Danny, but I don't think he gave his best tonight. Still, I'd put him at the top of the guys with Brent and Ricky. I have a hard time ranking them, though. I don't think any of the guys really gave it their best shots.

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

So, I was thinking after Tatiana, man: this was diva night. Way too much Whitney, Aretha. I said, "man, but there's no Mariah, thank goodness."

What does the asshole Danny sing? Mariah.

I feel like this is personal.

Oh, I'm so glad that Alexis made it into the top 12. I meant to vote for her last night, but the lines were busy and then I forgot. Not that it would have made that much of a difference, but it would have made me feel like I helped!

Yes! No Tatiana! Although, don't they do a wildcard later? So, she could still make it through? ::bites nails::

That said, very glad to see Danny made it even if I don't think he chose the best song for him.

Because books.

THANK GOD.

I just yelled that, as a matter of fact.

Also, NEENER to Tatiana.

I ADORE Fabio. He's taking care of his sick mother! God, he's adorable.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

They are killing me on Top Chef. Stop talking about your sick mother, Fabio! That sounds like going-home talk. In other Fabio news, let me go find the blog post I saw with a hilarious picture of him and a link to an article...

And now I have to stay up for the whole stupid supersize episode.
