How to Train Your Dog

Loved that Kelly used all her salt just so she didn’t have to give any to Amanda, although it’s hard to say which one is more unlikeable.
The best moment was right after Andrea was eliminated when Tiffany and Ed went to hug her and Padma broke it up by basically telling them to GTFO already. Awesome.

Would have liked to have seen Jim be the manager a bit longer than just one episode to explore that dynamic a bit more, but I guess the writers just wanted to reset things back where they were before like they’ve done so many times now. Oh well, hopefully this will make Pam and Jim less boring.

I am liking Erin and her “specialness” more and more each week though. Like when she didn’t recognize Snoopy or Woodstock, and saying that she couldn’t compete with Kelly because in part she “gets her clothes at the mall.”

The girl that thought she could could sing because she played the American Idol video game reminded me of the assistant in one of the episodes last season of Curb Your Enthusiasm that only wore belly shirts to show off her muffin top to the world.

I actually thought angry Rivers Cuomo guy was hilarious for some reason and didn’t actually sing that bad. I got the impression that he was in on the joke and was only there to make fun of the show, or so I hope.

Can they just turn this into the Snookie/ Paulie D/ The Situation Show and kill off the rest of the cast? (As in show kill, not actual real life murder)

Having to watch Sammi and juice head Ronnie fight and engage in some make up “smushing” isn’t really doing it for me. The Jwoww and her bf storyline is also boring and Vinny hasn’t done nearly as much fist pumping as he promised.

I’m not sure why so many people are offended by how this show perpetuates Italian stereotypes, and not bothered by the fact that Snooki/ Snickers/ Snooker appears to be perpetually in blackface.

Is it awful that I’m sort of looking forward to seeing her get punched in the face by a guy who turns out is a high school gym teacher? Yes. Yes, it is.

Open Season Spread, A Lot Like What Happens in My Boss’s Daughter

I nominate either movie written and/or directed by Alan Ball, so American Beauty or Towelhead will do. His tv work is ok, so I guess he saves his horribleness exclusively for films.

Also…
Hamlet 2
Art School Confidential
The Net
Gothika

I’m undecided if my new favorite sexual activity is having a foursome in a cave or getting a handy under the table from my non-blood related niece. Tough call…

Towards the end of the episode when they watched the commercial created for Patio and everyone pretty much said there was something off about it, I kinda got the impression that they were inadvertently alluding to the fact that it was directed by a gay man, thus lacking the sexual appeal of the original that they all seemed to get a boner from. Instead it focused more on the performance aspect which as Alex described Sal so fabulously performed to his wife’s horror as she realized why she hadn’t been “tended to” in such a long time.

Sorry I think Alex is usually funny too, but the only insightful/ thought-provoking thing about this recap was whether or not Peggy had anal intercourse or just hj/ bj.
