Because books.

Danny chose the wrong song last week, I admit. But I could see him doing a Joe Cocker type rock album, or some Bob Seger type of ballads.

Kris I can see doing the Jason Mraz/Matt Nathanson type of thing.

I'd buy either of them, or at least listen.

Adam can sing, yes, but those falsetto things in every song drive. me. crazy. I see him, and I see Broadway, or Vegas.

Gotta admit, I wasn't thrilled with any of the songs tonight. Maybe Kris's "Heartless," but that's it.

The Biggest Loser winner is TOO SKINNY! And that kid, now that he's lost weight, looks like a tall Michael Cera. Adorable!

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb

right?!? I thought that both the "winners" had actually lost too much weight.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Paulina Porizkova was apparently fired from Top Model!! [link] I guess we'll be back to Twiggy-style lameness next "cycle."

OH NO!!!

Yeah, although, I can see taking off too much if it means you win that much money and then getting back to a healthier weight. I thought Tara looked great though. I can't believe how fast she did that marathon last week!

I can't stand Danny. He did a nice job with song #2, but no one who ruined his rock song last week should be allowed in the final 2 or should win AI. No.

This. Even if I don't always like Kris or Adam's arrangements, at least they don't butcher notes.

And, once again Adam gets screwed time-wise.

Since I've only seen this past season, and part of the one in the Netherlands (or "Holland" as Tyra kept calling it), I have no point of comparison, but if she was actually fired for her ego, that's pretty funny. Next to Tyra, that is.

Compassionately intolerant

Seriously.

Tara looked so healthy and 'right' at her weight.

It's too bad the parameters for winning aren't geared more towards health, rather than just the number. I can see Helen starving herself for the last couple of weeks just for the win.

Years ago, I competed in a gym competition and would have won except that I didn't eat or drink for the last day or two, which threw off my lean muscle mass. My trainer was furious...and I was an idiot.

Jerry, although obviously in much better shape than when he started, did look kind of freakily scarecrow-ish.

I was surprised at how good Ron looked. He's really done himself a favor. I would like to say to that family that brother Max needs a therapist way more than he needs the gym right now. I can't see him doing anything but failing until he gets his head straight.

Sione, on the other hand, YUM.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

I liked Twiggy. Paulina just seems argumentative to me.
