Angelo uses the word "sexy" in every episode. Seriously, he's used it in every episode thus far. At least last night it was used in describing a girl, and not some type of food or sauce.

Flawed idea
This "team cooking" thing has got to go. And I'm never happy with the Restaurant Wars episodes either, for the same reason: I get what they're trying to do - "You need to be able to work with people in order to run a restaurant, blah blah blah" but not really. If you're executive chef, you're the boss. If…

"Idol Gives Back's logo bothers me. It looks like Christmas."
It looks exactly like the Sara Lee logo and makes me want refrigerated pound cake every time I see it.

R.I.P. Chuck Barris
Watching performances by Andrew Garcia, Aaron Kelly and Tim Urban REALLY makes me miss the old Gong Show.

I didn't read the last one, but you were right!

sexual identity crisis
Aaron Kelly = Kelly Aaron

The Good Energy
I'm thinking the buzz phrase for this season is going to be "good energy". Kara said it last night about Posh Spice, and Simon said it about one of the contestants. I'm betting we hear it a few more thousand times before this season's through.

Picture
In the photo above it looks like Michael V. is sprinkling his dish with Fruity Pebbles.

my stray observations
Good Lord, does Gail need a (new) stylist.

ok I seriously don't know
Is Ashley male or female?

Ew, Nigel
Comments about your wife's divorce attorney and Janine's boobs. Ew.

I can't keep anyone's name's straight this season
I wonder why…
Karla
Kaitlyn

Kupono
Jeanine
Janette
Jason
Jonathan

Mia always looks like she just woke up from a really cozy, warm, comfortable nap. I want her to always be holding a steaming cup of tea with both hands.

I crack up laughing every time Mary screams. She is NUTS!

Wow, a Geek Love reference! I've beenwaiting years to hear one! Anyway, her rejection wasn't as sad as I'd feared it would be, because after Nigel told her she wasn't right for the competition, she shrugged a little and said, "I know", with a casual lilt to her voice. Thank God. If she'd cried I wouldn't have been…

He really would be perfect with Queen but Idol has their claws in Adam forevermore, don't they? Is he even allowed to join a band that's not Idol-involved?

Does every Idol finale song have the word 'mountain' in it?

Oh good, now I'm really glad Leslie turned him down!

Oh Kinopio, I don't want to agree but I'm afraid I have to. I'm not a fan of the new Pam either…my boyfriend says she totally changed when her hair changed. Once she got rid of the frazzled perm/sides up hairdo and switched to soft, cascading curls, her whole personality seemed to change as well. She's outspoken and…

Holly and AJ
Doesn't AJ work at Holly's branch? Wasn't she transferred out of Scranton because corporate found out about her relationship with Michael? Why is it ok for her to date AJ? Was this explained and I missed it, or was the whole thing just overlooked?
