Heh, x-post with Jess.
What? I'm not allowed to hit people? Wesley: Not people capable of genocide. Angel: Those are exactly the types of people I should be allowed to hit!

Granted, that can't account for the mind-boggling "made with love" defense she gave at one point, but I wonder if everyone thought she'd be sent home before now and so they tried to get maximum impact from her quotes.
I think so.
Interesting that she seems to be doing better on her own than when she's worked with teams.
she doesn't assert herself well when she works with teams, to her detriment.

The editors know in advance who's going home when up through the finals (because the show is filmed up to that point months in advance). So they can pretty easily give Carla the Crazy Edit in the beginning and gradually transition into the Pulling Herself Together edit over time.

Ah. I wasn't sure how far ahead they were. I know there's a break before the finals, but I wasn't sure how long.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."
I also love that Carla's "made with love" stuff that got tempered down as she went actually turned up in results at the judging table. They commented on the care she put into her food, as well as on "soul" both of which are the ineffable elements that come up about this time in the season.
And it's something that Stefan lacks. So I really hope that Carla can pull it out in the end.
And I know, right, about Gail? I was grinning and waving at Gail on my teevee just about the same way Carla was grinning and waving at her in realtime.

I just hated that Toby hack.

That's the same Toby Young that Simon Pegg played in that movie with Kirsten Dunst that got awful reviews a few months back, isn't it?
Nowhere near as clever as he thinks he is, and still too clever by a half.

Yes, which I didn't realize until about 30 minutes into the film, at which point everything about him on TC clicked into place.

Anybody watch ABDC tonight? Man, Beat Freaks are just pwning everybody. They're flat amazing.
Sad, but not all that surprised to see Strikers go. I just felt bad for Mike? because he was so heartbroken at having made the error that probably cost them the round. But they probably wouldn't have been at the top in the end anyway. So there's that.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
Survivor--Interesting tribal council. Looks like Coach got everyone to vote for Candice.
How skeevy was he with Erin? "Give me a kiss." Really? REALLY?!
