You got this Warren!

Nice touch that Sally Draper's teacher is a Mad Men fan

Incidentally, has anyone ever seen a Panera in Manhattan?

I bet Phillip's girlfriend was also an attempt by the producers to narrow the chasm between the number of votes he gets every week and whoever comes in second. (I think I speak for women everywhere when I say, "her?")

I think Phil-Phil is officially faking pee-pee problems to get out of those awful Ford music videos.  Also, am I crazy or did Casey Abrams somehow make his way into the opening credit sequence this year?

agreed! "The level of smushing reveals this was no accident."

one might say "awesome"

Co-sign. At least sexually threatening enough for me to have googled his year of birth to make sure my 25 year old lady parts aren't committing any statutory sins

Your daddy let you date?

Dumb idea to draw attention to the fact that Philly's never been in the bottom three if anyone's trying to play the suspense card/hide the almost certain truth that he's had this thing close to won for some time now. Not that it's necessarily a good indicator, but I'm pretty sure he and Colton have like three times as…

I also agree that all accidents are different, but something that's enough to paralyze a person would surely result in at least a couple of visible scrapes! Where the hell are you, makeup department?

Loved Ryan's response to the "Phil being Phil" routine, essentially "Yeah buddy, we get it. You're being yourself. (hold back eyeroll)" Clarity from Seacrest - scary stuff.

Does anyone else think Gwen Stefani has an affect that's very Kat Dennings-esque?

I swear it looked like Nicki Minaj's performance was pre-taped, down to the empty judge's chairs when they panned out, but then there they were to banter with her about 'guest judge' nonsense. What say you all? Do the judges shuffle off for refreshments and touch-ups, then shuffle back, or do they pre-tape fake-out?
