Holy cow! Beck just beat out some heavy hitters!

WendyCR72: *blushes* I gotta give props to The Man as best I can! (madam, BTW) :-) I'm still trying to figure out Sir Paul's reason for his inclusion on that song, as I couldn't discern his voice. Love Juanes! Vive!

BLESS YOU, loriro! I was racking my brains trying to recall where I'd heard that EXACT series of notes! BC needs Tom Petty's lawyers!

And THIS is why Annie and Hozier sang what they sang!

and...they were HAPPY!

Madonna just got SCHOOLED.

Madonna's performance was all about the Baphomet-horned dancers. leighdear, Ha! I had a ticket to see CC in NYC, but Boy George got sick and the trip to the States was cancelled.

Marilyn Monroe's black fringed dress for her iconic role as Sugar Kane in "Some Like It Hot."

Ha! I said "Lassie" to myself when Isaac mentioned "75 years," figuring the show wasn't going to trot out an elderly woman (and who would it be, anyway?)! Michelle didn't follow the design-off instructions, a twist the judges could not have foreseen. She HAD then to lose. End of story. During the season, Dimitry won twice, Helen twice, and Sonjia thrice (Michelle none, so there's that, also). These three also won the last three challenges. To me, it's a coin flip now between Dmitry and Sonjia, with Helen not really a serious contender. P.S. Fringe IS timeless! It's Roaring 20's; it's Swinging 60's; it's now! http://www.beyondbuckskin.com/2011/01/some-history-fringe.html

Apparently the "Hooters Cruisers" loss didn't sink in with Team Vortex. "Hey, we lost with 'T'; let's see if we can win with 'A'!" EYE-an goofed when he sang his jingle AND then tried to worm his way out of his insistence on the tune. Nevertheless, his firing was bogus and only to fit the show's schedule, because a bad idea implemented trumps, heh, a bad idea NOT implemented. Best moment: "Did you take a photo of Trump Tower?" "No."

I hope the sons didn't get Ivanka's DNA, as she is their sister! (Ivana is Mom.) Oh, but that was during the B.K. Era: Before Kardashian. You may pronounce my name as "Len-EYE."

Then if we are watching it now, the viewers don't have a "1 year cliffhanger"; only the contestants do. Sig and his "Sex sells": Yeah, really, especially to families visiting NYC.

Actually, Geraldo did not use the appropriate term "immigrants"; he repeatedly said "refugees," which carries a very different meaning/connotation. BUT---IMO, he will win, for he is the only one who "is" New York, as Joan Rivers was before him. What does this mean---we won't learn the victor until 2016? Just like it ain't bragging if ya do it, Brandi wasn't wrong for her WINNING "executive decision" to drop the "Manhattan Mardi Gras" theme. Trump would have hammered a theme that made NYC seem a wannabe-anywhere-else!

Harry's not dumb, either. And he knew that he was putting Adam on a spot that Adam couldn't back away from. I maintain that it was unprofessional. And had I WANTED to liken Adam to Christ on the Cross or HCJr to Machiavelli, I surely would have.

Will no-one rid me of that fugly Fabio?! Cannot stand looking at or hearing from him!! BLEAGH! 1971. That is when I wore a "Granny" dress (Michelle's style was called that) with puffy sleeves. 1971. Size 24 is pretty darn big, but in any case, it was not meant to be taken quite literally, I don't think.

Is Jason in a commercial? I swear there's one with a guy who looks just like him, but I can't remember the product! :-P

I think Adam's closed eyes during his singing and yelped "You made me nervous!" afterwards clearly evidenced the surprise that was HCJr's dare. For a dare is what it was, as well as putting Adam back in his AI supplicant days, a way of diminishing him. Didn't work, DID it, Harry, old boy?

So---Apparently Chock full O' Nuts is helmed by fans of sleazy fantasies. That they preferred this catfight commercial WHICH THEY ADMITTED HAD ALMOST NO BRANDING says it all.

I didn't see that at all! He judged as well as or better than some judges have in the past, maybe not HCJr., but certainly J"Goosies"Lo! And I'll be watching that one girl Adam insisted wasn't ready, just to see whose ear was most discerning!

ADAM! Seconding Travis! And I liked the Girl with the Guitar who sang right before him! Frankie Napolitano Accent or Suit was okay, too!

This is the show I saw on January 10: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCRERfiqG-fUbG5dWOU9zQjQ I thought it was superb! The big surprise for me was that I really liked Mark Ballas's singing!

Eolivet: Neither man was a “teenybopper” during C.App., and Clay wasn’t even one at the height of his fame! Nor were his fans and/or C.App. donors! I didn’t mind Kate; she seemed to keep the baking on task. But she talked too much in the BR . GG is no dummy; I’d bet Geraldo is in his sights after the latter’s dismissive attitude towards him (and to EYE-an, also). As for his (GG’s) $$ contacts: Part of the show’s strategies is to keep your Deep Pockets until you’re the PM. Maybe GG didn’t feel like helping out Geraldo? Speaking of whom: Geraldo’s poster?! Who knew there was a serious threat to The Donald’s title of Biggest Ego? PBGamer89: Not only are Reality Shows a second wind for celebs; they have become careers for regular Joes and Janes (See: Gosselin, Kate. See: Housewives, Real.). Padma: It’s Kevin, the married one who had his own Reality Show. And he was focused on a lot. Padma: ITA.There was a day when Apprentices, if not the Celeb ones, sold items (even rented apartments!) and won on that basis alone. What is the frickin’ point of making pies or sandwiches or anything to sell, if the Rolodex is all that matters? Just put these people in a room with nice chairs and let them cajole and wheedle their contacts for an hour. Sadly, Piers was 100% correct in his advice. They all DO know to line up donors before the show’s filming begins, right? :-P HappyDancex2: Ivanka is, indeed. Mainly because she has availed herself of the same plastic surgery being criticized herein re: Female contestants. Trump: That it might be unseasonably cold one day in NYC does not refute science, okay? Leave big issues to the big IQ’s.

I'm pretty sure we can leave Bill Clinton out of this. If anything, he gave TMI. We do?! I missed that convo. As I said somewhere about him, Danny's father lives a stone's throw from Philly, so his bilge about "mixed-race marriages aren't accepted here" is horse-feathers. Danielle and Mo: Come on; she wanted a hot Middle Eastern guy--- money, daughters, and common sense be darned. As for "acceptable": He ain't blind. And I'd bet he ain't a pre-marital "Danny."** For him to say more would have completely destroyed his credibility, and he recognized that. **ETA: Back in Tunisia, I mean.

Jodithgrace, that is the best post ever in Posterville! "I'd prefer not to." Bwahahahaha!

I taught English, AliceGoodDay! And I was quite surprised to hear Poe for New England! Baltimore, anyone?! As for "The Raven" plate, nobody forced that poem on Gregory; he could have cooked a beef "Tell-Tale Heart"! :-P I thought the "Carrie" plate was awesome! Q-F: I didn't think the sausage patty should have won. ETA: "Where did they find those authors?" "Why not Alcott or Wharton"? Because everyone who went to a U.S. high school has read some Dickinson, Thoreau, and Poe; has heard of Hawthorne's works ("The Scarlet Letter"!) and Dr. Seuss; and has probably read some King (or seen the movies). Alcott and Wharton, not so much! Hee! Here's an ED poem for Doug:
