I agree. I've been a fan of Ian's since his 90210 days and he's always come across as a humble, laid back and a generally nice guy. I hope he goes far here. As far as Lorenzo goes, I saw his episode of Celebrity Wife Swap and was impressed with him. I didn't think much about him beforehand - - knew him from Falcon's Crest and his marriages/relationships and felt he was probably a boneheaded player - - but I thought he seemed very likable and down to earth on CWS. He also seemed game for the show and very appreciative of his fans. I'm sorry that Keisha was fired but not surprised. If the task is going to be primarily about fundraising, the teams need to be more even. I'm sure everyone assumed that Keisha would have the big fish Cosby on her line but as others have pointed out, Jesse James showed that wasn't a given. Does Kate ever shut the fuck up? Holy cow, I wanted to throat punch her. She can't get fired soon enough in my book.

Jason's final canvas is full of shit. As Dave said, you don't raise your hand and volunteer to be an open canvas if you're not willing to let the artist put whatever he/she wants on your body. Mystical Mike is delusional and is clearly going through a Theodore 'Ted" Logan, Esquire phase. I loved seeing Matti's breast cancer survivor canvas. Awesome that she went to Matti for another tattoo. Tatu Baby's canvas Margarette was an inspiration. She came on the show and had a good time and was happy with her tattoo. Scott looked like a tattooed baby - - WTF? I wished they had gotten that annoying canvas of King Ruck's and Keith's back to question - - the dude that was so picky that was getting ink on both legs and who passed out. He was such a douche.

I like Josh but talk about an uneven playing field. Al Fliction and CeeJay were clearly cannon fodder. Gentle Jay's last tattoo was beyond hideous - - there was absolutely nothing pretty or attractive about it. Josh's final tattoo would have been so much better if he had made the fireworks stand out more. I'd much rather see the final 3 from each season going against each other in the hopes that we would see quality tattooing (a la the Christmas special) and less drama.

I found this surprisingly enjoyable. The playing field was even, there was zero drama and/or petty b.s. and it was all over within an hour. I would have been happy with either James or Jime winning. All of their tattoos were spot on. I particularly loved Jime's gingerbread house (that picky canvas was crazy for not liking the colors).

Monday nights have become my favorite. I cannot wait for this mess. I'm not sure if I'm traumatized from seeing a naked Jax in the shower, complete with dangly bits, or hysterical because everytime I think of that scene I bust out laughing. I find it hilarious that two dudes in a hotel room bed are okay (because no unintentional spooning) but three crosses the line. And why wouldn't Jax just have a room to himself? Surely it will make it that much easier when he brings the female version of the lowest common denominator (aka a Bootleg Chick) back to his room. Although then we won't have Flat Iron and his angry eyebrows spouting off about it in his THs. I'm with Persnickety - - this show is absolutely glorious.

Awesome typo, ghoulina! :)

I am thinking I need to pack up my shit and move up to WeHo to be a busboy (errr, busgirl?). DJ Jazzy James has a nice apartment. How does he pay for that? Surely Lisa doesn't pay THAT well. I continue to be astounded that these tools are so honest and open with Lisa, their employer, about their personal lives. Of course I can't imagine my boss actually sitting me down to discuss my personal relationship and sex life. Katie and Schwartz' therapist had probably the easiest session of her career. Can these two not talk like that at home? I did think Schwartz' nervousness over therapy was cute and totally understandable. I don't understand why Katie didn't bring up the fact that she despises one of Schwartz' best friends, who continuously tries to get Schwartz to break up with her. Seems to me that would be a pretty important issue within the relationship. As well as the fact that Schwartz can't hold down a job for longer than a Vanderpump Rules episode and seems to be lacking in motivation. Why on earth isn't Katie pushing her fashion/beauty blog/website on VR? That's a built-in forum, girl. Why isn't the show filming her doing something with regards to it? Very little StASSi, which was nice. She so should not be in opening credits. When the busboy has a bigger role than you do, you're no longer one of the stars. Jax is such a clusterfuck of a drama queen. Drunken texting at 4 am? I'd be blocking his texts and calls. Seeing as how last week he claimed that he would be sleeping with Vail, I am not surprised that he and Tiffany are breaking up/taking a moment/whatever. Loved Flat Iron with the nail polish. I too wondered how Jax knew about acetone. Really? I know now that my Monday evenings will not be complete without Flat Iron in a shirt that reveals male cleavage. Thank you, FI! I honestly thought maybe FI and Muppet were headed towards a bro reconciliation but alas, not meant to be! I did love how FI called Kristen out on her overload of cray cray. And Muppet made me laugh and laugh over telling FI in one breath that Kristen was obsessed with FI and talked about him incessently and seconds later, how Kristen was obsessed with his muppet self and screaming his name in bed. Ha ha! Thanks for the entertainment, Muppet! So next week the dudes head to San Diego - -you know, out of state - - to party. I sure hope they remembered to get their vaccinations and bring their passports.

The only thing I remember is the "ladies" getting together for a drink or meal - - because clearly StASSi has nothing else going on. Oh yeah - - Jax eats a meal at Sur and meets up with Lisa and Kristen and DJ Jazzy James invite themselves along on Scheana and Shay's Miami bachelor/bachelorette trip. So I guess there will be no one working at Sur that weekend?

Can I please meet Lisa, Eileen and YoFo for drinks? Would have to be the most fun and dishiest cocktail ever.

God, I love you, Persnickety, because I was going to post the same thing. If she shows up in any kind of wedding dress, but especially a rank, tattered one, I will pass out from glee. Vanderpump Rules needs to make Kristen Doute, Stalker happen. I am on board for that. Whoever compared The Nugget to a beady eyed rat - - nailed it. I watched the First Look last night and I just don't find Vail all that attractive. She's okay, I guess, but she looks rough. Certainly not prettier than anyone else at Sur. Add me to the short list of peoplewho find Schwartz attractive. Although his lack of ambition and motivation would drive me insane.

I think the producers need to decide whether the competition boils down to the final challenge and final challenge alone or whether they will be like America's Next Top Model and consider all the work plus the final tattoo. Frankly, I would appreciate reviewing the three's tats from all season a la America's Next Top Model. I do think Jason's final tattoo was miles above the others if only because he actually completed the challenge. Neither Erik's nor Cleen's represented photo realism to me. However, if we are looking at the entire season's work, Cleen should have won. As far as someone who would be Ink Master and the best out of that group (with Josh gone), it was Cleen. Again, based on the work we saw during the run of the show. The finale is ridiculous though. Obviously the judges saw the master canvases prior to the show. Add me to the list of people disappointed that we saw so very litttle of the work itself. And the point of Sausage was . . . ? Maybe the same point of having all the inktestants return and only maybe 3-4 of them got to speak. I really didn't care about any of the drama, other than hearing Mark and his rival mended fences, other than Josh's exit. And of course we didn't get that. I don't care about Emily's feud with Tyiesha (sp?). Julia had zero to say so sit down and STFU. If everyone isn't going to have a few minutes to say whatever, maybe they should have spoken specifically to the rivals of Cleen, Erik and Jason. Please no more pushing of other shows. Just deal with this one. And what kind of fucknuttery went on with Sarah's face? I barely recognized her and she would have scared me if I had been watching this with the lights off.

Oh Kristen, God bless you for bringing the crazy. You are exactly what my Monday nights need. You do, however, need to work on how your roll and your ability to be a bit more subtle, shall we say? Ha ha, clearly DJ Jazzy James is getting mighty tired of hearing about Flat Iron. Apparently his junk wasn't THAT small, since Kristen can't stop talking about him. I agree that DJ has an awful nice apartment (along with a Beemer!) for someone on a busboy's salary. I am obviously in the wrong business. StASSi just needs to STFU. It's not her place to jump all over Schwartz about the kissing and anything else. How would she have felt if Katie had done that to her when she was dealing with the same issue with Jax? I don't think she would have taken it well. And thank you, StASSi, for proving yet again how selfish and self-centered you are - - choosing a birthday cake for Peter that YOU want. Of course. Vail went to Princeton? WTF?

I miss Josh. Color me confused as to what the entire purpose of the first tattooing was for, other than to send Cleen to the finale, which . . DUH. Mark's tattoo was hideous and he did not follow orders, so to speak, but had absolutely no ramifications for it. Excuse me? He didn't get a verbal ass whipping, he wasn't told to pack his machine. Just ridiculous. Add me to the group of posters who are miffed and angry that by allowing competitors to choose the finale tattoo style, the show is potentially condemning the canvases to a jacked up, fugly ass tattoo. I've personally never cared for ANY of the finale tattoos because I find them too large, too extreme and too showy. I think it would be much better to allow the inkestant to select whatever tattoo the canvas would like, placed wherever he or she would like and judge that, along with the overall body of work from the entire season. But hey, that's just me. Jason may be a perfectly nice guy and do good work back home but after watching him and his neverending anxiety attacks this season, I would never want to get ink from him. Where is Josh and his pot when Jason needs it? Why was Cleen so surprised that he got a spot in the finale? He's been telling us and everyone else all season that he's going to be in the finale. I miss Josh.

I learn so many things from this show. It's a gift from Baby Jesus.

I don't know but don't eat a whole pan of (pot) brownies or else you'll have a terrible panic attack!

I am listening to William Mann's Tinsletown: Murder, Morphine and Madness at the Dawn of Hollywood and it's incredibly excellent.

Hattie looks a lot like Candy to me in that photo.

I'm not a dude but I do have a flat iron, foundation and a beanie. FI here I come. Or maybe I'll just paint myself orange, grab some tequila and start crying. Before I motorboat some random guys, of course. There's always not washing my hair for a few days, puffing on a cigarette and then taking a selfie near a Beemer. Or getting a big honking pair of black rimmed glasses, propping my foot on a pillow and then whining about my tooth. All while performing "Good as Gold" of course. So many options . . .

Thread title ideas: Tom Sandoval: Triple Threat Tom Sandoval: Those Aren't Your Pants Tom Sandoval: Flat Irons and Forehead Shaving p.s. - Are we going to get a Schwartz thread? If so, I nominate Tom Schwartz: Panic at PUMP

I watch True Tori so clearly I have absolutely no taste and therefore no shame with being seen at SUR. I am going to choose my most unsuspecting friend and subject him or her to a WeHo field trip. I am puzzled as to how Motorboating Tequila Katie is so upset over Schwartz' kissing on another woman when she was "nuzzling" another guy. Isn't that kind of the same thing? I mean Schwartz didn't admit to just taking his shoes off but I'm thinking one is kinda like the other. Jax is a shit stirring douche. Somehow last week I missed the scene of Kristen and Muppet Busboy washing the Selfie Beamer. I think my brain shut itself off in its own best interest. Anyhow, I saw it earlier, I'm still traumatized and I'm laughing over Muppet believing Kristen's claim of his junk being bigger than FI's. Yep, this is exactly like high school. Yes, FI. I'm sure you've met 50 gay mayors. And males.

That makes sense, ghoulina. Especially when you figure the only pool they have to choose friends and/or sex partners from is SUR (and maybe now PUMP?)

Or Katie Maloney: Motorboating and Judicious Tequila Katie "Motorboating" Maloney Katie Maloney: She Was Just Taking Her Shoes Off

So riddle me this . . . if FI and the Nugget were using Scheana's place to hook up while he was still with Kristen, how on earth can Kristen and Scheana be friends now?

I was out of town this weekend and returned last night to see a First Look on my DVR. Baby Jesus loves me. I never loved Mondays quite so much as I do when VR is on. I cannot wait to see Kristen in all her Cigarette Sally grodyness or the Toms plus Jax passing drinks at PUMP (will Schwartzie have another panic attack?) or Schwartzie's supposed cheating or Flat Iron trying to show the Nugget as much affection as he has for his flat iron. I seriously want to plan a road trip up to LA to see all of these chucklefucks in their natural element.

Agreed. I also hope it's not going to be all Benson-angst over the possibility of losing Noah. I don't really care all that much about their personal lives.
