Although I didn't see the commercials, I concur: this show was shit.

bad
It was definitely an off episode in an otherwise great season. The Target challenge was just awful.

Yeah, I love Stories so much. She does a lot of good work. I can't wait to hear this album.

That and the Eminem car commercial were probably my favorites of the night.

I also loved the baby against the glass image and hated the toddler Darth Vader commercial. Kids are gross.

I'm not a fan of this commercial at all, because I spent 99% of the commercial thinking it was an Apple commercial for the iPad. Once the commercial was over, and I found it was for something called the "Xoom" (yeah, great name, that doesnt' sound like the failed "Zune" name at all, I won't associate your new product…

The songs are never any good and it is indeed just a waste of time.

The full interview with the girl in the dress is pretty awesome:

I've only seen the Doom Generation and Nowhere, but that was two more than I should have seen. Ugh.

Yeah, I love Soak. I don't like it quite as much as Hugo Largo, but it's got some great stuff going on.

Drum was their first of two albums. I prefer the second ("Mettle") but I do like Drum quite a bit.

The New York art rock band Hugo Largo, the Morris Engel film Little Fugitive, and the Canadian TV series The Newsroom. I'm sure these things are all wildly popular somewhere, but I don't think I know but a handful of people that have heard of any of them.

She's on her period, period.

Carla annoys the hell out of me and I'm hoping she gets booted soon, although I'm guessing that won't happen. The only good thing is that she and Marcel can't both win, so I'll be able to enjoy at least one of them going home.

Faith and the Muse
These guys have been around forever. I remember seeing one of their shows over ten years ago. I like them but they tend to sound overly theatrical (they are a goth band, after all.)

I don't know what's going on with Deus Ex 3's release date, but that it's bouncing around can't be a good sign. Having said that, it can't be as bad as 2 was, right? Whoever had the bright idea that making a successful sequel means doing the opposite of everything you did in the first won't be involved again. …

I started listening to Stuff You Should Know earlier this year and quickly became a big fan. The topics are interesting and I like Josh and Chuck. I decided to check out How Stuff Works other podcasts and gave TechStuff a listen, but sadly, the guy who starts every episode with a movie quote is incredibly annoying…

What?
Was Luc Besson busy?

I wonder if the reason I don't mind Marcel as much is just because of who he's going up against this time around. In his first season, even though he was obviously an asshole, he was still more talented than at least 75% of the other contestants. This meant that after listening to him boast and pule during the…

all stars
This has been a really great season so far. And I'm not even minding Marcel as much as I did the first time around.
