BizBuzz, that exchange gets me teary each time I watch it. I loved our introduction to Ainsley Hayes :D Josh: Toby, come quick. Sam's getting his ass kicked by a girl. Toby: Ginger, get the popcorn.

Apropos of nothing, I've become a regular watcher of the ABC series, Forever. During the most recent episode (1/13) who should pop up but Lord (later Ambassador) John Marbury! It's always good to see Roger Rees. He was definitely a favorite recurring TWW character of mine.

When I saw (and heard) him, I said, "Lord John Marbury"! (The West Wing) Always good to see Roger Rees pop up.

I won't have any problem at all with Doug winning if he manages to get back into the competition. I'll have a big problem if George wins it all.

I disliked both Jennifer Lopez's gown and Kate Hudson's. I'm not a fan of that horrid wide plunge that shows so much of the breasts. A deep V to show off great cleavage? Sure, but this current trend is not at all flattering. JMO. My favorites were Naomi Watts (That snake necklace!!!) and Amy Adams. I thought they both looked perfect. My choice for worst dressed was not even featured at all on Fashion Police and it surprised me because she was a nominee: Rosamund Pike. That Vera Wang gown she was wearing was ill-fitting. It looked as if it needed to be yanked upwards to sit at the proper level. Very unflattering.

I love this one from "The Indians in the Lobby". Martin Sheen's delivery on the final line gets me laughing every time. President Bartlet: You know that line you're not supposed to cross with the President? C.J.: I'm coming up on it? President Bartlet: No, no. Look behind you Another favorite, although I'm not going to quote the entire speech, is from "Game On" where Bartlet tells Ritchie during the debate that "Unfunded Mandate" is two words and ends with "Can we have it back please?" Then, C.J. turns to Toby and says, "This ain't gonna be Uncle Fluffy." Awesome moment. TWW is my favorite show of all time.

George's win in the QF really bothered me. They were told to make, not just a sausage, but a BIG sausage. Melissa was one of the least favorites because the sausages she presented were too small, as she had some difficulty with the casing. But George doesn't even make an official sausage and gets the win? George didn't set out to make sausage patties; he was completely inept at actually making sausage and only made patties as he had to get something on the plate. That is what gets rewarded with immunity? Not right at all. Doug, who was the other favorite in the QF, made perfect BIG sausages, which was what the challenge called for. At some point, don't the producers step in to say that George couldn't win as he didn't comply with what was requested? Doug should have won. As for the EC, we can't taste the food but Gregory served overcooked beef to one of the judges. Based on what we saw, I think he should have gone home over Katsuji. Of course, without immunity, George would have been eliminated.

I may be wrong about this but I don't think that is CWB's wife. I'm pretty sure that he's been referred to as a single dad a few times this season.

This is not Sorkin's first use of the Ave Maria. In S1 of The West Wing, Josh was obsessed with the piece in "The Crackpots and These Women". He asks CJ if she's familiar with it and CJ responds that of course she knows it as she's Catholic.
