@avclub-5236d2d466e7a1d9785a33e298a58c3c:disqus that's true—I guess I figured if they really counted they'd show them in the recap

That's exactly what my husband said! 

We are and last season as well—I'm too lazy to google this but I think he took a brief hiatus as a producer and returned last season.

Thanks! And yeah, Phil totally did screw up the lyrics.

They're quite good. I wish they were considered part of the actual voting/judging process.

Thank, fixing it. I must have had a mild stroke as I was typing. And I agree.

Personally I think of my vagina as a lightly-used Porta-John. 

“I get that pussy wetter than a dirty sewer”

She seems really awesome and not just because she gives love to Keanu Reeves and Elvis Costello in this interview. Side note: I saw her in Hedda Gabler at Steppenwolf a few years ago /fancy

No, I loved that and I was happy for her since I think she rarely gets chances to be the big funny idiot on the show.

Well…[deep breath]

I agree about the judges' refusal to judge anyone resulting in a less predictable show but I also never in a million years would have thought Scotty would win.

@avclub-82a849c711dee52c960aee9fb710ac2e:disqus OK I amend it to strong blondes.

mean blondes!

Even though he annoyed me, pass-agg obnoxious HeeJun was more fun than Sincere HeeJun.

Travis Schuldt officially became one of my favorites tonight. I never realized that Keith from Scrubs and Ben from Always Sunny were the same guy. 

I'll trade RDJ for Michael Sheen. Real-world chemistry, plus I don't think Nick should be too traditionally good-looking.

This sounds like he's taking the Brendan Fraser route.

Elise is, I think, 6 years younger than I am. Of course I don't think she's old but I have a sense that the voters on the show consider her ancient. I'll try to think of a way to convey this without actually making it sound like I think she's old.

The performances were good but the judges ruined the episode for me. When over half the performances get standing ovations, they lose their meaning. They need to start being harder on the singers and not just tell them how fantastic they are all the time in order to make the show more compelling, I think. "Harder"…
