DWTS - Week 5 (Rumba/Samba)

Okay, Emmitt was great, so overall I'm happy, but two things bugged the hell out of me. First of all, the judges comments still aren't matching their scores, which is annoying, but mostly...the music for every single person sucked. Its not that I didn't like the music, but none of it matched the dances, which was annoying. I mean come on, Emmitt danced the Samba to a Cha Cha song.

Joey - I pretty much agree with the judges on Joey. He's a little too...something. He did look awkward, and honestly, it was nice to see him actually not nail something. Not safe.

Willa - Seriously, if Emmitt wasn't in this, I'd be going for Willa. She is SO good. And precious. Her rumba was the only one I really liked. And that's sad, because I love the rumba. Hopefully safe, but not sure.

Monique - There's still something about Monique thats a little too overemotional for me. Maybe its internal, but its definitely something. Her footwork is still really good and she's really natural. Not safe.

Sara - She sucks. That's all. There's no other way to spin it. There's nothing technically wrong with the steps, but its like she walks the whole dance...or something. I feel like Tony has to lower himself to her level. She better go home soon. NOT safe.

Mario - He's really good. REALLY good. But very cocky, so I'm still not on board. In the rumba the woman is supposed to be in control, and Mario took the lead way too much. Safe.

Jerry - He was SO hilarious and he really wasn't too bad on the technical stuff. I'm glad he got his highest scores. I think he really might be safe, but I'm not totally convinced.

Emmitt - AUGHHH! SO GREAT. I knew he would be because its latin, but oh man, he was fabulous. He is such a cutie and man I hope he wins. I love it when he does the hip action! SAFE!

So, I think Joey, Sara, and Monique are in the most danger, considering scores and fan bases. But a pretty good night overall.

DWTS - Week 4 (Waltz/Pasodoble)

Well...I don't like the pasodoble, and I think the Waltz is dull if you don't do it right, so I didn't really enjoy tonight all that much. That, and the fact that I have no idea what the hell the judges are thinking. Their comments don't match their scoring, and they rarely comment on anything technical. "It moved me." 10! Give me a break.

Monique - I've been impressed with her technically every night except for tonight. Can you be overtheatrical in ballroom? Cause I think she was. Not horrible, but not her best.

Emmitt - ehh...I saw this this coming a mile away and honestly it pisses me off. WHY can't they give Emmitt a dance that suits him? He would have been great at the waltz, but the pasodoble wasn't "his dance". At least the judges *eccentricity* carried over and he got good marks.

Willa - I think this chick is a GOOD dancer. She's been solid every week, and hopefully now that she's got a fanbase, she'll be sticking around for a while.

Sara - If she doesn't go home tonight, I might cry. It. Was. Awful. Again, this wasn't her dance? Len says, well let me ask ya, what IS her dance? Cause I haven't seen it yet. This girl cannot dance. Its sad, but its true...and the fact that she ruined PHANTOM of all things, is just...horrible.

Jerry - Ahh...Tennessee Waltz. It's the only one worth anything, im my opinion. This was absolutely beautiful and deserved way higher marks than it got.

Vivica - What the crap was she wearing, first of all? I sort of agreed with the judges for once on this one...she needs to be a bit more feminine.

Joey - Showy, but good. I thought Jerry's was more heartfelt, which is important in a waltz.

Mario - Great dance, but I just don't like the pasodoble so it always looks awkward to me. And I don't like Mario Lopez, so...its tough.

DWTS - Week 3 (Tango/Jive)

So yeah, this is going to be more of a rant than a review. Because wow...there's usually at least one thing about the judging that I don't like each week, but this week, there isn't much they did right. I get the rules thing, and you shouldn't break them, but to simply slap everyone else on the wrist while choosing to shanghai Mario was absolutely ridiculous. You don't break the hold, we get it, but was that really necessary? I don't even like the guy, but man. And don't even get me started on giving Joey the Jive and Emmitt the Tango. Here we go...

Emmitt - It was bad. That's it. Not surprising because he's very lightfooted and Tango is not. The Paso Doble is going to be ROUGH if he gets it. He was good, but the strictness required of the tango is just not something I can see Emmitt doing. However, his scores were ridiculously low.

Monique - It's absolutely ludicrous that Joey's quick step got 10's and this didn't. Her jive was amazing...the best dance I'd seen up to this point. She is amazing...I think she'll be alright, but the bias is annoying.

Harry - He was still stiff, but that happened to work for this dance. However, when I think he was going for "sexy", he came across as creepy. It's Aaron Echolls, but still. It wasn't bad, he'll be safe, but I don't see him ever getting very good.

Willa - This was not perfect, but it by no means warranted the scores she got. She can move, and it was a good Jive...with these scores, she's going home.

Jerry - Jerry was cute, but a little awkward...this was actually the only performance that I agreed with the comments, but his scores were too high

Mario - Wow. I understand that because he broke the rules he can't get full marks, but a 6? A SIX? This was by far the most flawless dance of the competition.

Sara - This was the worst. Going in, I thought, if she couldn't pull of the mambo, there was no way she was going to do well at the much more fast paced Jive. And I was right, though the judges didn't agree. I couldn't believe my ears when I heard there praise, this was by far the worst dance of the night. WORSE than Emmitt...and he got a 19. Those cowboy boots are not Jive shoes, and there wasn't one second where her kick went higher than a foot off the floor. Just. Awful.

Vivica - Hers was the best Tango, but it did not deserve the scores she got. I just didn't understand the scoring.

Joey - This is the perfect example of the bias last night. Joey broke the rules, same as Mario, but Len was the only one that stuck with his opinion and yelled at Joey. There dance was really good, except for the lift, but he, along with everyone else that broke the rules, should have gotten the same scores as Mario.

Who should go: SARA, for the love, SARA
Who will go: Willa. She's been in the bottom two with great scores the last two weeks, with bad scores this week, she doesn't stand a chance.

GREY'S ANATOMY - Time Has Come Today

George: I could, one day, soonish.
Derek: Soonish?? I will love you SOONISH??
Derek: You should tell her, even it its soonish, before its too late.
George: Like...before I die of the plague?


Alright, I fully intended to start this post with something to the effect of, why do I do this to myself, but I have to say...I sorta kinda maybe might have...liked it. I'm not saying I'm back onboard, but this one was actually alright. And Shonda gained my respect back for about five seconds with this line in her blog, "Because what Addison did to Derek is SO much worse than what happened between Meredith and Derek in that exam room at the end of the season." So that's nice. If Finn leaves relatively soon, (because I loathe him after the "he's not good for you" comment) then it might turn out alright. Cristina was absolutely hilarious, loved her.

After this episode, I'm convinced that there is NOTHING that anyone can do to earn back my respect for Izzy. Nothing. She is a pathetic excuse for the doctor and she needs to realize that her unparalleled lack of ethics is what landed her in this situation in the first place. And how good of a guy can Denny really be to encourage a woman to fall in love with a guy that every single day got closer to death. His odds were NOT good, and he knew there was a good chance that he would die, and soon. Smooth. And I have a feeling she's going to be back at work in NO time, which is again, so far out of touch with reality that its disgusting. She would lose her liscence to practice medicine for that...not just get fired. I was touched by her scenes with Meredith, but I'm thinking that was the Meredith part.

Speaking of Meredith, I know I'm a minority here, but I love her. Every single dark and twisty inch of her. She is SO real and SO flawed that I can't help it. I can relate to her, bottom line. I think she's the only thing Shonda does right. (we'll see how long that lasts.) And I know she isn't going to pick Finn, but I'm just saying, if she were to give that jackass another second of her time, I'd be pissed. In fact I think she IS going to give him at least a few more seconds, so I AM pissed. I'll come back to the awesomeness in a minute.

Contrary to popular belief, you don't have to hate Meredith to like Addison...and I do...like Addison. I hope she gets her stuff together now that the writing's on the wall (of the exam room, of the panties...insert any appropriate cheap joke here). I did however, think it was incredibly petty of her to do what she did with the panties. We are supposed to believe that this is a strong, confident, brilliant woman and surgeon, and yet she keeps doing stuff like this. I honestly don't think she realizes yet that SHE is the one that started this whole chain of events. YOU cheated on your husband, bitch. With his BEST FRIEND, bitch. Oh boo hoo, he fell in love with someone else. Give. Me. A. Break. He tried do to the right thing and he just couldn't. Tough. Get over it, and go back to Marky Mark, who, by the way, you have yet to be honest with Derek about. Its so hard to feel sorry for you. Wow...did I just lie? That didn't sound like I like Addison at all.

I loved the tender moment between Burke and Cristina...it was appropriately held off until the end, and appropriately short and sweet. Alex is still Alex and I love him....and...I have to say...Callie is kinda growing on me. Not Callie and George, I still hate George...just Callie. I actually see her becoming yet another woman that I think is way too good for George. Her scene with Meredith when she shows up at the house is priceless. I love her entire reaction and continuing commentary on Derek and Meredith's exam room romp.

George...and Derek's quarantine was great....but just because of the banter. Nothing to do with George. And how great was the first night flashback? Props Shonda, that's what we call payoff.

So...my moment arrived. An entire season too late, but it arrived. Speaking of which, the respect dipped for Shonda again with this comment on a later blog, "But, don’t worry, I’m not dragging this out all season. I’m not gonna drag it out very long at all. I like to move things forward. " WHAT??!!! You don't like to drag things out??? You move things along? There an entire crap season called TWO that says otherwise. But enough bitching...I could not have loved their scene more. PD was absolutely brilliant with that emotion, and he didn't feel the need to trash Finn to get his point across, but instead relied on his confidence in his love for her. This is a man, take notes Finn. (ps - I really hope I don't eat that comment after this next week) But yeah, you know Meredith's heart was soaring (how cheesy was that?) when Derek said all the things she'd been waiting almost a year for him to say. Finn is SO out of the picture. FLOVE IT!


Derek: But now, all I can say is that I'm in love with you. I've been in love with you forever...take all the time you need, because you have a choice to make, and when I had a choice to make, I chose wrong.

DWTS - Week 2 (Quick Step/Mambo)

Okay...I'm so behind! I've barely gotten anything in and I totally forgot week one of dancing, but I AM reviewing it this season! Since we're past the first two dances and eliminations, I'm just gonna do a quick review of the dancers in general for this week! I need to get back in the swing of things and remember that reality shows have a clock on them! Okay...Dancing...


Emmitt Smith - Love this kid. Seriously. As a football player, and now as a dancer...LOVE. HIM. I was expecting him to be better than Jerry (even though I love Jerry Rice just as much as Emmitt) just because RBs have quicker feet than WRs. I was so right! I couldn't believe how well he danced the first week and the second was just as good. Couldn't be more thrilled that he's paired with the reigning champ too. Cheryl is so creative and dilligent...I think Emmitt will go far!

Harry Hamlin - Oh dear...CREEPY Aaron Echolls is back on my TV! But really though, its hard not to cheer for him because I love Lisa so much. He seems very dedicated and he's trying really hard. He's not bad, just stiff, much like Jerry, but I don't see him having the audience vote to carry him as far as Jerry went.

Willa Ford - Of the women, her fox trot impressed me the most, and her mambo was more of the same. The girl can dance, I'm just afraid that no one knows who she is, so her dancing isn't going to be enough. I think having Shanna there as another pretty blonde (they look so similar!) hurt her as far as recognition goes, so hopefully now that Shanna's gone, she can get more support, cause she deserves it.

Monique Coleman - She's stiff on the top, but I love her footwork. When footwork becomes a major factor, she's gonna do well. Her upper body got looser this week with her mambo as well.

Jerry Springer - He's so precious as a dancer, never thought I'd say that. I think he'll have the same old guy problem as George Hamilton, but he's not bad. I fear fast latin for him though.

Joey Lawrence - He can dance. I think he's a little weird, but he can dance. Stop tanning dude...seriously. His cha cha was really good, and his quick step was good as well. Not good enough to merit 10s, but whatever. He's good.

Sara Evans - She's. Not. Good. I'm sorry, but I have no idea how she's made it through this far. She's slow and has no rhythm.

Mario Lopez - I hate this guy, but he's not bad. He's got prior dancing experience too....come on, we all saw AC Slater dance. His cha cha was perfection, and was more deserving of tens than Joey's quick step, but his quick step was rough. His arrogance was most definitely shining through when he improvised that stupid move, but even that couldn't save his quick step. I sense he's a latin guy and is going to struggle with the traditional dances.

Vivica Fox - Well, as much as I love Vivica, she's got a ways to go. She isn't completely bad, but Monique and Willa both move better and have quicker feet. I really hope she can improve though, you can tell she really wants it.

That's it for now...Tango and Jive next week!

STUDIO 60 - Pilot

Matt Albie: Ironically, I’m the one high as a paper kite right now, but legitimately. I had back surgery Tuesday, L5 S1 if that means anything to you. Stop talking now? Yeah, you bet.


OMG it's here! Although I'd seen the premiere several (yeah like 5) times before Monday, the fact that its ON now is uberexciting. I cannot say enough great things about this show. Seriously, its totally my new fav! And next week I get an ep I haven't seen plus GG and Mars! Good times. So I'm starting this blogging season with my newest obsession, Studio 60 on the Sunset Strip. I'm not going to talk about the new shows that I don't like, so this is the first of the new shows that I will absolutely be reviewing. I may do a general post on why the ones I'm not reviewing suck though:)

Although I alluded to my love in my TCA review, I cannot express how much I LOVE Matthew Perry and am so freakin' excited that he's back in my living room! His performance was stellar in the pilot, and I'm sure it will continue. I'd never really watched anything with Brad Whitford (never was a West Winger) but I gotta say, he's good. The chemistry between BW and MP is off the charts. I've never been an Amanda Peet fan, but she's alright in this, and has some of the funniest lines. I think she'll probably grow on me, and the rest of the cast is AWESOME!

So, Studio 60...I think Aaron Sorkin is a genius and a show about tv, perfection. Judd Hirsch's monologue at the beginning was dead on and actually really meaningful and personal to me. I love the art/commerce debate. It's a little too early to talk about actual plot, but I can't see it dropping any of its amazing quality. For the 86th time....I'm a fan!

TCA Press Tour: What's on the Fall Sked?

I almost took a shot at this back at upfront time but decided to wait until press tour time so I had a little more info on what's happenin' this fall that I'm excited about. As it turns out, nothing much has changed - as the summer's gone on, I'm more pumped about my early favs and the less thrilling ones I'm finding even...less thrilling. I'm only going to talk about the ones that stand out...either really good or really, really bad. I'm more going to talk about my opinions, rather than give a summary of the show, because if you don't know what they're about, then you must live under a rock - or at least not watch tv. And if you don't watch tv, why the hell are you reading this in the first place?

Studio 60 on the Sunset Strip - These first three are the shows I pretty much can't wait for this fall, but I'm gonna go ahead admit that Studio 60 edges the other two out. Maybe its the fact that its about television or that it stars Matthew Perry...either way, I'm pretty sure its gonna be awesome. The combination of Sorkin's negative stigma from West Wing and the fact that its on, well, NBC, has left critics unsure, but I'm not. I don't care about the hype, this show looks fan*friggin*tastic. As far as the main players go, I'm not a huge fan of Amanda Peet but she actually looks okay, I have no opinion of Bradley Whitford, and well, I'd pretty much have Matthew Perry's babies if he asked...so that's that. All in all, I think this will be a favorite of mine. As far as how well I think it will do ratings-wise...first, its big competitor is CSI:Miami, which I also like, but lets face it, its not Grey's. I think its got a shot. The hype is big, so its got a lot to live up to, but Sorkin is good. I can only hope it grows slowly, because those tend to do better than instant hits. I think it will have a popular fanbase, rather than a cult one though.

Six Degrees - JAbrams. Enough said. Okay, I'll say a little more, but just to be clear, there'd be no need. Every thing the guy touches turns to gold. Seriously. And for the critics (aka Matt Roush) who think the idea is lacking, consider "What About Brian". You were positive that was dead in the water too, and you were wrong, and I was right. As far as this show goes, I'm just surprised it took someone this long to make a show out of this concept. (Yes, I know there's a movie), but if anyone can do it right, JJ can. The question now is, with his WB deal, what happens when he jumps ship, as is inevitable with every show he starts.

Heroes - Okay, Greg Grunberg...don't know what it is about that kid, but I love him. And he plays a telepathic cop - how cool is that?? We watched all six of the 'what power do they have' spots on youtube (LOVE youtube, by the way) the other day...and it is...intriguing. Another favorite in the making. Oh yeah, and its got Milo, and he's sexy. All kindsa potential runnin' around here. I sort of love that all six of these powerpeople exist in completely different parts of the planet...I see so much potential for story its ridiculous. Matt Roush hates this one too. Okay, he doesn't hate it, but he doesn't see the gem that I do. I'm calling it again though, its gonna take off...slowly but surely. And this one's on NBC too...say what you want, I see a comeback in the making!

Justice - This is the only thing I find even mildy amusing on Fox's new list, but amusing it is. Two words: Garber and Bruckheimer. Its like CSI but with lawyers. Sounds good to me! And not that I don't love love love Michael Vartan, you know I do, but if I had to pick one Alias alum to get to keep watching right away, it would SO be Victor Garber. That guy rocks. And I love anything lawyery, this we know. I'm a little iffy on the 'how will it do' factor - its on Friday nights...but who knows. Either way, I'll take it for as long I can get it.

Smith - Okay, I'll say it...at first, I was like - cheap Alias (to which Kel said 'Alias was cheap Alias', which I still don't fully understand), but now, I have to say, I'm gonna give it a shot. I think it might be the bad ass music at the end of every promo. Or the fact that I see a promo every single day after Y&R. Either way, the shit got me. And I like the Ray Liotta promos better than the Amy Smart ones...psa: watch those.

Shark - I am totally NOT sold on this one, but hey, lawyers, right? And in the promo, James Woods already has a quotable line, "truth is relative, pick one that works." That's classic...and worth at least giving it a chance, at least I think so. Did I mention its about the law? Hey, I'm easy.

The Class - Okay...I don't know if this is gonna be good, but I NEED A NEW FRIENDS. Hey, Crane's a part of it...I can hope, right? I'm thinkin' it looks not too Friendsy, but just Friendsy enough. I'll take it. But seriously, I haven't been really addicted to a comedy since May 2004, and that bums me out. I need this to work!

30 Rock - After watching the promo, the confusion surrounding this and Studio 60 is well earned, especially since they're on the same network, but hey, its Tina Fey, and she's cool, I'll give it a go. The trailer made me laugh, and it is about television, so it can't be all bad right? I don't see it being a legend on a Friends or Seinfeld level, but whatever.

On to the iffy, if not outright bad.

The Nine - This is the show Matt Roush is picking above Heroes...I can't figure it out. It seems messy at best, boring at worst. Premise: fallout of a hostage situation. Umm...what? Maybe I'm being very short-sighted, but I don't even see where you'd go with that. Okay, maybe I can see it a little, but it still sounds incredible boring, and I don't see the longterm potential.

Friday Night Lights - Okay, its a little mean of me to pick on this one, seeing as its about (at least the movie) my own little West Texas town, but come on. This has boring written all over it, and nothing like it before has ever survived. This kind of premise classically makes great movies and bad tv shows, and I don't see any reason why this one's gonna change that.

Kidnapped - I just picked this one randomly, but I'm using it to make the point that there are about 5 shows coming down the pike that are exactly the same. I seriously can't tell the difference, and too similar a premise is not gonna bode well for any of them. And that isn't even my main problem, with this, someoneskidnapped someonesmissing wehadtorunaway story, much like Reunion, what happens when that gets resolved, likely at the end of the year? Where do we go then? Too many ifs. Again, great movie plots, not so great for the small screen. Seriously guys...leave the tv shows that should be movies to JAbrams.

Jericho - Here's the deal. This could be great, it could be horrible...I have no idea. I think I'm gonna hate it, but I see it being one of those that everyone loves and I have no idea why. I'm just really unsure. Cult following is my best guess. I want no part of it.

So there's my wacky, unorganized, mildy insulting views on what fall has to offer. Take it, leave it, use it. Because really, aside from maybe Studio 60...nothing will top finding out what the hell is in that briefcase and what Logan and Rory are gonna do with the Atlantic between them. Let's answer those cliffhangers!

IDOL - Soul Patrol it is...

Well, as we waded around in 2 hours of stalling to get to probably the most anti-climatic conclusion in Idol history...it just served as a reminder that everything happened exactly as it should have this season on American Idol. Kat was the star of the show even though she didn't win, and after hearing about her other offers already coming in, winning might have just held her back...When coming up with medleys for the girls, you know the producers were cursing Randy, Paula and Simon for even putting Melissa in the top 24...mediocrity at its best...and making me sit through Ace, Bucky, and Kevin again was just mean. And did anyone notice that during the judges montage, they had to do a lot of editing to make Simon look stupid, but Randy and Paula pretty much took care of it on their own? Yeah...

As we started off, I liked Carrie Underwood's part in this shindig, not overpowering, but not underplayed, and she is awesome. Comparing Carrie to Kat though, I do think Kat is better. You can tell that Carrie is more polished...she's been singing for a living for a year since her win, but Kat has way more potential. The opening number was mildly enjoyable, mostly because it was Carrie/Kat/Taylor-centric and the other 10 idols may as well have been wearing choir robes for the role they played.

So obviously, of the duets, Kat and Meatloaf was my fav, followed by Chris/Live, Taylor/Toni Braxton, Paris/Al Jarreau, and Elliot/Mary J. Blige. Paris was a little dull, and Elliot basically just stood there while Mary J. Blige sang, but the real toss up was Chris and Taylor. Taylor would have been better if Toni's mike was working (was that the issue?) because I love Taylor's rendition of 'In The Ghetto', but Chris ending up winning, why? Because no matter how much I kept thinking "man Chris, get your own style", I was also thinking "alright if you're gonna try and be someone else it might as well be him" because DAMN that Ed Kowalczyk is hot. Sorry, I'm just a girl. with eyes.

So yeah, I got about five seconds into "Puck 'n' Pickler" before I started fast forwarding this shameless stall tactic so I have no comment. Same goes for the the "Golden Idol Awards"...I'm sorry...I just can't do it. Its embarrassing, and I don't do embarrassing well. Do not waste my time with this crap. I'm more than a little annoyed...can you tell?

Speaking of embarrassing...If you know me at all you know I have this thing were I get really embarrassed really easily for people who do stupid crap on TV...even if they're not real. And when they are real...well...its bad. I bring this up because, well, I had one of these episodes during the guy's medley. Holy crap it was bad...like Summer's head was buried in a pillow bad. Poor Taylor and his harmonica were carrying it and I actually felt bad for them. Of course Elliot was back with his Eminem style, but why was he squinting? Is that a new 8 Mile move I don't know about?

I'm gonna skip right over the frightening Clay impersonator (and you already know how I feel about the awards) and go straight the the real Clay...now to be real honest...the guy creeps me out. I don't like him and I voted for Ruben...there I said it. However, regardless of my personal opinions, there is no denying that the boy can sing...seriously. Watch carefully Kat...its your runner-up future personified. Ruben who?

So if my reaction to the guy's medley was as bad as it gets...the girls was just the opposite. I LOVED it. Katharine carried it beautifully (as she did the entire night) and Mandisa, Paris, and Lisa were on point as well. I just about lost it when Kat started singing "Natural Woman" and suddenly wondered why she hadn't done that this season. I have this overwhelming need to hear her do that song solo now. That being said...that Kat/Paris/Lisa trio gave me chills. I guess it was a no-brainer to end with Mandisa doing "I'm Every Woman" since they knew how it would go...I wonder if Randy thought it was anti-climatic.

I have an enormous amount of respect for Burt Bacharach, I think that comes from my dad, but the first two bars of this medley just gave Kat one more chance to outshine Taylor, something I felt she did the whole night. I feel like if they had a voting night and just told Kat it was an exhibition or something, thats all she'd need to win. She does so much better when the pressure's off. Thank goodness for her she can have a career without competing on American Idol.

Blowing right past brokeback cowboys or whatever, we come to Kat and Taylor's last performance, which I thoroughly enjoyed, being the Dirty Dancing fan that I am, but...can you guess what I'm gonna say? That's right! Kat was better. That dress was over the top, but she was fantastic. Overall, it was a fabulous duet, but there were subtle parts throughout where she had to match him to save his ass, which takes serious skill, although its not surprising thinking back to the impromptu duet she did with Andrea Bocelli. Its the difference between her training and Taylor's...not training. I'm so eloquent, right?

As this season and finale comes to a conclusion I can't help but wonder...they just had stars like Mary J. Blige, Meatloaf, Burt Bacharach and Prince (PRINCE for gosh sakes) on the stage, and stars like Ben Stiller, David Hasslehoff, and Heather Locklear in the audience. Carrie Underwood is winning CMA's and Kelly Clarkson is winning Grammys and....they are STILL presenting this show like some bad afterschool special concert with badly written songs and waving hands and lighters. Come on people...rise above it. If I was Kelly Clarkson I wouldn't want anything to do with you either.

Well, this was definitely a monster of an entry, so thanks to anyone that read it...but I thought, why not, its the last one for a long time. See ya next year!
