CariDee won because Melrose was damn near 40 years old.

Grrr.
Elina should've been in the finals, but those who can't be transformed by Tyra can't win.

America's Next Top Cockblocker
Seriously, Analeigh, that's not your job. Let Mah-zhuh-ree get her Shandi on, for pete's sake.

Basic Instinct
Thank you for raising this as an issue, Phipps, because it's one of my favorites. Like all of Verhoeven's best work (Showgirls, Starship Troopers, Total Recall), it needs to be appreciated as an over-the-top parody of the genre it's ostensibly doing straight. In this case, it's noir, and it takes the

Damon Wayans
Yeah, I'm guessing that even after the Doumanian year is released to Hulu and other online platforms, even after the Charles Rocket twelve-letter outburst, Lorne *still* won't be letting "Mr. Monopoly" out of the lockbox.

Loved the first ten minutes, HATED the schmaltz that followed. Shut up, Ted, and move to NJ. Leave the good characters in Manhattan.

I'm not sure if wrestling + acting counts, because The Great One cannot sing, dance or juggle, and Bette Midler does all three. Have you seen her balls?

Diddy's equally mediocre as rapper, producer, actor and fashion designer. How about someone talented across the spheres — Beyonce?

Davis
Really, other than Wayne Brady and Bette Midler, who are Davis' current "man of all talents" heirs?

Well, I for one am wicked pissed that the audio from the crowd seem to go on and off randomly. C'mon, Mr. Best Director Of An Awards Show — let us hear Hollywood's hierarchy of the dead!

Alanis Morrisette made the money off Jagged Little Pill that Phair was supposed to for Exile, but she didn't. Today? It's nice to be liked, but it's better — by far — to get paid.

'Naomi"
Looked way too much like Showgirls' Nomi Malone. Just saying, is all. Also, Hannah Zuckerman-Vazquez? Played by ER's Rachel Greene v2.0, the one who gave the baby the ecstasy tablets.

I Never Had Dinner With The President
Seriously. The guy who performed "No Vaseline" now does kiddie flicks?

As noted above …
… sideline patterns are a problem — the computer especially has a tendency to put people out of bounds on passes to the flats when they should be able to turn upfield.

Dancin' ain't fucking.

Verhoeven always knows what he's doing — Basic Instinct, too, is an amped-up satire of noir.

quick correction
That was not a new song by George Michael; it was "Praying for Time" off Listen w/o Prejudice, which Carrie Underwood performed on the charity show.

I was incredibly entertained by that performance, even if I don't quite understand it. Ms. Barrino didn't shake that much booty in three months of performing lo these many years ago.
