I did notice that re: Ryan/Ellen. I wonder if she has a deal on the level of "I may initiate interaction with you, povo, but not you with me" with Ryan.

I want to call him "gayface" but I think that is pushing it.

I think Siobhan won for best styling according to the judges. I find it interesting that girl singers can wear Doc Martens again. I forgot what Didi wore. Paige's romper was sort of a bad choice but as usual her hair/makeup looked great.

but I get a cash bonus each time Apple calls me a fucking retard.

I'm fixing it. It was a mistake. Sorry to let you guys down.

that is actually exactly what happened. I know that's not the real title of the song since those words aren't even IN the song. Being fixed…

I used to assume "nappy" was spelled with a silent "k".

you're not wrong about Mike. He's the hammiest of the ham during the group performances.

The Barefoot Contessa has a really good and pretty easy BB recipe. Check it out.

Carbon Rod, I've only seen Paige sing twice really—I think maybe I WANT to hope she's better than she is?

I'm mollified
I just had an exchange with Kimberley Locke on Twitter. This has improved my night, no kidding.

I agree that Alex wasn't so great a singer but he was one of the few contestants who actually had a unique voice—as one of the judges said, if you closed your eyes you would know who was singing.

She's Out Of My League
They might as well just call it "Movie"

oh wait, I didn't claim it was by Maxwell. Phew!

you're right—I'm updating.

he was told and I like how he looked both disdainful and incredulous.

Excuse you KZ but I practiced extreme word economy re: the lip gloss.

we all know though that her uncle was in stryper, yes?

I feel like Randy has lost his zazz this season, either because he is just not feeling it or because Paula's not there to pump him up. But I'm not complaining. He doesn't sound as stupid as he used to.

don't forget that the stakes were either high or the highest ever.
