Great game all around. In both this and yesterday's semi-final, I would have been happy with any of the three contestants moving on to the final. Fingers crossed that Netanel can snag that third spot!

Shailene Woodley is now protesting your objection.
Much like growing his mustache, Esteban started very early with the "Who is" phrasing before Wahlberg.
That episode left me with two indelible images:
Ray Liotta starring in La La Land
Mitch pulling a Christopher Moltisanti and accidentally smothering his cats
"Did I ever tell you about when Eli Roth was my rabbi?"
