Re: Alton Brown
I think that reason that it's lasted so long is that it sneaks the info in amongst the schtick. Regular idiots laugh at the guy in the tomato suit while intelligent people take note about what he says about the different ways tomatoes are canned and preserved.

Also, Good Eats has never repeated itself in over ten years--amazing!! He always manages to devote the episodes to something that's never been done on the show before, and in continually fresh ways. (Although I'd love to see Shirley Corriher return; she's so great!)

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
Heh - I gave up watching because I thought it was getting too repetitive and schticky. YMMV.

I meant that he's never duplicated what foods he features. The schtick is forever!

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
On ANTM's Celia, Rich at fourfour has a picture comparison of her with James Carville, and it's pretty good.

Any thoughts on AI's new rule?
Personally I wasn't surprised at the eliminated ones, nor I was I surprised they came out of the wild card round.
The new rule...might be interesting.

I think it's good. Although it makes the boot even crueler (than singing the song that got you kicked out) in that now the judges will have to essentially say "you're not worth saving" every time.
I was worried there would be some sort of immunity every week, although I liked a co-worker's suggestion that the judges pick the bootee from the bottom 2 or 3.
I was surprised about Anoop. I like him, but he was not good this week.

Yep, this is my feeling. Though they STILL get to sing the song that got them booted. If they sucked the first time, why, oh why, do we have to hear it again? I mean, what - is that going to become they way to appeal to the judges to save them?

I've never understood the whole singing thing. Although, I generally don't watch the results show anyway, so it doesn't really matter to me.
