  1. Allen Stone was a good mentor, and I liked his performance. He looks like Weird Al and sings like Daryl Hall. I didn't think anyone was terrible; I did think PJAE and Lucy both looked kind of messy, and didn't sound as good as they have previously. Warren does have hair! Still waiting for Oliver to remove the beanie. Their performances were good. Elise, Haven, Mariah, Matt and Nailyah just don't interest me. I find it touching that a kid (Zachariah) born in 2004 so thoroughly connects with Little Richard. Kaeyra, Emma and Iam were outstanding (I do expect to be bored by Iam in a few weeks, though). Actually looking forward to hearing what We, Tyson and Marybeth do tonight.
  2. The stated point of the Dominos ad is that they 'invented' the tots-with-toppings because fries always get soggy during delivery. So the tots are supposed to be their solution, right? Except in my experience, tots lose their crispness within seconds after they come out of the oven. Also, people order fries with their pizza? Mmm, I loved Spam. Can't eat it anymore (high cholesterol).
  3. Yes, Nutsa can follow Fire out the exit door. Some really, really terrible song choices again: Hannah (I Don't Wanna Be), Olivia (All By Myself), and Cam gets the prize (and the boot) with-for Petes sake- 'Impossible Dream'. Show still thinks the audience is dying see the judges making faces, standing o's, waving arms, etc., instead of letting us watch/hear the contestants.
  4. I just looked at the Voice stats on Wiki (as I don't watch the show), and We placed 3rd on 'season 11' in 2016. That must have been a bitter pill for her, as the winner was the former Idol contestant Sundance Head (yet another gravel-voiced beardy non-entity). Michael Williams' performance was actually worse than Fire's, so I'm guessing Katy pushed for him to go through to top 24? The only actual 'showstopper' performances, imo, were Chaeyra(?) and We, and maybe Lucy (although she picked a nothing song). So does Warren Peay ever take his hat off/ have any hair on the top of his head? 'Killing Floor' was a lazy choice. HATED the format of this episode. I much prefer to see the performance, make my own decision, and THEN hear from the judges. The cut-up way this was edited was infuriating.
  5. Ophra and Lucy Love were too similar for the purposes of this show (like I would know!) We can have a whole bunch of skinny blondish waifs and hairy gravel-voiced guys, but only one overweight Black diva, apparently. Fire will be bald by the time she's 30 if she doesn't stop with the Croyden Facelift hairdo.
  6. Once again, I would really love to see the song choices that were available to these people. I can't believe 2 couples picked 'I'm Still Standing'.
  7. Didn't notice any decorations, but they def. appeared to be polished a pale pink color. Ian (like Willie Spence and several others from earlier seasons) is great, but will become a bit boring the longer he lasts (ie, will not win). What are they doing putting Fire through again?? Her voice is mediocre at best, and I don't even find her story very compelling/sympathetic. Kyeara (?) looks like Megan Fox. Worst song choice of the night was the mattress salesman; I didn't think he had a clue what 'Vienna' is about. I actually like the new twist on the duets, where the contestants make their own pairings (instead of the judges doing it). Less opportunity for producer manipulation, and reminiscent of the old 'group night', where there was a lot of drama involved in people forming groups.
  8. I have to say that list is revealing as to the show's desired outcome. Also, the fact that none of those guys fall into what I would consider 'teen idol/ TV boyfriend' category*, which theoretically may give the girls a better chance. *
  9. I was moved a little bit by Blaine's apparently sincere testimony in the church. He seems like a decent dude. Not sure what he sees in Lindsey (other than her looks). OTOH, I wasn't moved in the slightest by Britt and Marcellino's obviously phony 'romantic, impassioned' dialogue in the parking lot. Ugh, their scenes are my potty break. I see elsewhere that so good luck with that big rap career, Montana Millz. As if we weren't already sceptical of your rented BMW matched with the shabby chain hotel room😏 Will Puppy sober up long enough to get a job or will Queen end up throwing her out of her apartment? When oh when will the Derek/Big Mo story run out of steam? Where oh where will Amber get $50K? And did I hear correctly that she quit her job, too? This show must pay better than we thought, no? I like Aris and Cameron individually, but not together. I'm really not a violent person, but I want to punch Chance and slap TayLER. Their poor, poor kids.
  10. I think that's a bit of sarcasm. Many would say OW got where she is in life at least in part due to her stunning beauty. (Not a fan of her big square jaw, personally, but House certainly thought she was amazing!) I also eye-roll at their 'emergency kit' that you're supposed to use 'until you can get medical attention'. If you ever had a UTI, you know how incredibly painful they are. By the time you get their concoction, you could have called the doc and gottent a prescription for the antibiotics that will actually cure the infection.
  11. Re. the Amazon ad with the mustached girl. Until I read about it here, I actually thought what she was concerned about was her teeth. Eddie Murphy had a small gap, and Frida Kahlo had such crooked teeth she wore an early version of a grill to disguise it, and of course Freddie had 4 extra teeth that gave him a huge overbite. (I admit my TV is too far away from my sofa for me to see super-clearly, because I honestly barely noticed her stache.)👓 Either way, I doubt that wearing that yellow strait-jacket thing and dancing around like a loon in school is going to help her popularity/acceptance or whatever we're supposed to see as her issue.
  12. I hope the other contestants are paying attention to Kaya's situation. Through her father, she has to have GREAT connections to the world of music, yet the best move she thought she could make was to go on Idol?! How much chance does poor Cameron Amen (even with his Platinum Ticket) have? Although there were some really good singers on this episode (Kaeyra, Jayna, Oliver) the show backslid into way too many sob stories, as well as literal sobbing. Ugh. Speaking of ugh, of course 'Fire' went through, even though again she was pretty bad. I predict she disappears somewhere between Hollywood Week and Top 24. Maybe when she goes back to wherever she came from, the strip club will let her sing while she pole-dances.
  13. I think we need the equivalent of poltical term limits for this show. No more than 3 seasons of a LAL character- this means YOU Brit, Marcellino, Lindsey, Shawn and yes, Puppy and Amber. Maybe Sharp needs to do a 'where are they now' follow up show, but keep the main show FRESH. Also, Shawn needs to discover Just For Men hairdye for that sad, moth-eaten stache of his.
  14. The worst part is that after the dog runs through the giant worm and out it's 'mouth', the worm spews out some vomit-like substance. Really, wasn't the whole thing gross enough already??
  15. I think at this point Dr. Now is agreeing to surgery just to save the patient's life short-term. I don't see this guy ever getting to a normal weight, especially since he seemed to have no goals or ambitions, and I suspect his body is already ruined.
  16. Holding is fairly entertaining, especially the first 2 eps. It falls into soap opera territory later. Although I appreciate these shows with 'mature' protagonists, I had trouble telling the 2 sisters apart- why would they cast 2 overweight actors with very short grey hair? I finally figured out who was who when I realized the lesbian had the longer hair 🙂 My favorite thing was PJ's imitation of Benny Hill. Hard to believe that 37 year old Evelyn would have no idea who he was, though.
  17. Producer manipulation for the DRAMAH!! I thought she was pretty bad, but fully expect her to be put through to Hollywood next week. Similarly, Mariah (blond dreadlocks) 'opening' for the Noah and Hunter Girl show. Her audition didn't seem to be good enough to warrant that, but somebody up there likes her, I guess.
  18. So, did I hear correctly that TayLER QUIT HER JOB? I mean, we knew about stupid Justine quitting hers, but I (foolishly) thought TayLER was more cautious than that. She really deserves whatever happens to her (but not her kids 😢).
  19. Oooo! It's the big Chance/TayLER blowup scene coming up!
  20. You're right, Christina does not seem to have a degree/license in anything. However, since the budgets for the old show never included anything for design fees, she definitely worked for free!
  21. Yes, I was having trouble understanding the point of this (to me) very fancy remodel of a modest house in a scruffy-looking neighborhood. This is the first one of the new series I've bothered watching. Not sure I'll bother to tune in again. Heather brings nothing to the table but picking out some rando designer who will have to be paid, unlike Christina, who for all her faults was at least a qualified interior designer. The only expertise Heather is allowed to show is her 'how much can this sell for' skill, plus her giggling, shrieking and hugging talents. The outfits she wears to go check out the progress of the remodel make Christina's look positively reasonable.
  22. "Yesterday, ,y husband mistakenly switched our provider to something that doesn't include WeTV (that's gonna change!). While I'm enjoying reading the live chat to get the gist of what happened, I'd really like to watch the actual episode. I see it's available on YT under a couple of different posters (or whatever they're called); you have to click a link to watch, and I'm wary of doing that. Anybody know if it's safe, or have any other suggestions?
  23. Well, that was an improvement over last week's group, imo, but I still haven't heard anyone that I really want to hear again. (The autistic guy is a great pianist, so I might be interested in more of that, but unfortunately, his mediocre voice and super-wordy lyrics would be included, so maybe not).
