She sure is. This was a delight to read. I appreciate the thoughtful analysis in reviews for other shows, but it's impossible to take reality shows, even the good ones, seriously, and I need those reviews to be funny.

The difference between Season 6 and most seasons is fairly large. I mean, what a final four. That was the first season I watched (I caught up with all the others later) and boy, did I get spoiled. It's no lie that subsequent seasons pale in comparison.

Agreed. I hate team challenges when immunity is involved, but in this case it wouldn't have made a difference. Having the team with the least number of orders be the losing team would have been a terrible idea; if they'd done that, Mei, Dougie and Adam would have been in the bottom. I wasn't crazy about the fact…

Serious answer, in case you were serious: microphones. But I like your idea better.

The person who was my mother disappeared long before she actually died. I'm sorry you are going through this because it fucking sucks.

A-fucking-men. My mother suffered dementia for 2-3 years before she passed away, and my aunt (her younger sister) has just been diagnosed with early Alzheimer's. Hell. No. I'm hoping my unhealthy lifestyle does me in long before any mind-wasting disease can get its hooks in. (FWIW, I don't have kids. I won't be…

RICHARD FUCKING BURTON.

The sonofabitch had it coming. I didn't find the viciousness from Rick and the others troubling in this particular instance.

*claps*

You should probably just assume that everyone on The Wire dies, and then be happy about whoever makes it through to the end.

She's evolved into such a great character I have a hard time believing they'd kill her off at this point, but I don't like being left in suspense.

Yeah, but we didn't see Carol, so we don't know if she made it back. :(

That was terrible. Upvoted.

Amazing. Great autographs and great stories.

Barbies? No. Girls have been playing with and dressing up dolls for at least 2000 years. I grew up playing with Barbies, and never once did I think "I wish I looked like Barbie." My ideal as a teenager was Lauren Bacall, who was making movies a good 15 years before Barbie came along. If I had any issues with my…

Ooh, very cool…with Tomine and Moore thrown in there, I'd cherish it too!

Oh, one more. Los Bros. Hernandez did a little tour in the early 90s doing signings at comic shops, and I got to meet them in Cleveland. Along with signing my comics, they each did a sketch for me, then invited me to dinner with them and a few other fans who'd come to the signing. I ended up spending the night at…

In 1990 I was working at the Tower Records on Sunset Blvd. We had quite a few famous people come in to shop, but I'm not a big autograph person and rarely had anything signed. HOWEVAH, when Ian Astbury and Billy Duffy from The Cult came in, I ran to the LP section and grabbed a copy of Dreamtime and had them sign…

I understand her being nervous since both Katsuji and the other team member had been in the bottom in the last challenge, but she could have been a little nicer. At least she gave him credit at the end after their dish came out so well.

Sure! I'm a sucker for behind-the-scenes books. It's not exactly objective because the author is a huge fan of the book series and is basically making a case for sequels. Still, it's a fascinating analysis of what goes into the greenlighting, shepherding, and marketing of a big-budget potential franchise movie like…
