Whether Alicia would be good at politics or not, I also got the feeling Maddie was putting out feelers in that direction.

Given that this show gives all of their judges hilarious ticks, the obsession with his university felt in line with what had come before (e.g., the "in your opinion?" judge).  But, it might have felt more genuine had it been another university.  My experience is that Harvard types tend to play down the connection in…
