Handsome brooding vampire guy has to swoop in all sensitive mouth and overhanging forehead. How 'bout leaving some scraps for the homely-looking fellows who don't turn evil when they get some?

Scrappy coming in for the clinchers!

Yes, Beaumarchais, who wrote both Le Barbier de Séville and Le Mariage de Figaro.

I'm surprised no one's gotten the last one, I thought that he was one of the better known on the list, although maybe not for his plays.

Since I’m about to leave for after-work drinks, the missing answer is Cocteau, playwright and (Vortex) painter, who is probably best known for his film Beauty and the Beast.

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

I would have gotten 3 maybe 4 on that list. that's it.

cocteau - not in a million years. I did like his film, but it wasn't my vision of B&B.

Man, that was driving me nuts! I knew it was him and could not think of his name for the life of me. I've got the dementias!

Beauty and the Beast is one of my favorite films of all time and I always think of it as "Cocteau's Beauty and the Beast." Stupid brain!

Because books.

Lil and Danny blew me away tonight. So good! And honestly, I thought Danny's dancing was charming -- maybe because it didn't look choreographed to me, either, but more like he was just bopping around, moving to the music.

Thrive to spite them

My favorites are Lil, Danny, Adam, Allison and Alexis. It's hard to figure out who is going to be in the bottom and I wonder what kind of "change" is going to happen. Guess I better watch the whole thing instead of just tuning into the end of the results show like I normally do.

oh, it is like my addiction. I usually like Gillian, but this season I am all about Bob.

Don't you think the 2 sisters could have convinced black team girl to vote off Kristin (sp?) ? pulling a big switcheroo - instead of just accepting the scenario that Ron dictated? Ron kinda works my last nerve.
