When I first read your post, I was thinking you'd been here and seen that one...lol. I was pretty sure I had seen a Michigan one with him in it.

Woooooow this week's ANTM was NUTS!!

As unprofessional, rude, and unkind as Alexandria has been, Brittani got the lecture she deserved. You NEVER throw a tantrum in front of a client. Like, EVAH.

I think the Alexandria girl should have gone home. Didn't the judges complain about her attitude from the get-go? She may not have raised a stink in front of THAT client, but her history showed her raising one in front of others.

Yeah but she wasn't the one who was wrong in this week. The judges said she only had one more chance and she hasn't blown it yet. It wouldn't be right to give her a pass on the other times then get rid of her on the week that it was someone else acting up. Maybe she'll slip up and go home next week!

The Warblers just performed on Today. They're not very good without the benefit of the lip syncing, pitch-correcting, and heavy editing they get on Glee.

I'm not a faithful watcher of The Office, but I watched last night. I loved the airport scene - that Michael and Pam got to say good-bye privately. So sweet.

Has anyone else watched Take the Money and Run?
I'm disappointed in (and surprised by!) the contestants who crack and tell the interrogators where the case is hidden. I mean, didn't they know when they signed on that they would be incarcerated for 48 hours? And even though they're locked up and fed only beans (ha!) it's not like they're ACTUALLY incarcerated. They get to go home in two days. Pretty sure I could suck it up and deal with it for the $100K prize.

Okay, did anyone catch 90210? Two of the characters "pledged" a sorority. The story was so poorly written. Didn't anyone on that show go through rush/recruitment? They got all of the terminology and process wrong.

There was a row of tables outside, where each sorority was handing out flyers. After tossing each flyer that the "loser" sororities handed them, Naomi and Annie chose one to "pledge".

Each one of them was given three "trials of fire" by their "big sister" and if they completed it, they would become members. Hilarity ensues as Naomi has to eat dinner with a farm animal, walk across campus in her underwear, and then has to zipline across the football field in the rival team's mascot costume.

Annie had to kiss a statue of Abraham Lincoln, kiss a "frat guy" and something else I can't remember. Then they had initiation. Plot twist and spoiler - they didn't anticipate Naomi completing the tasks (she was set up to fail for some "unknown" reason!!! zOMG!!!?!) so they had initiation without her.

But wait! She gets there just in time...to be told that they had it in for her the whole time because she bought the mansion that the sorority wanted to buy for their new house. Lame. And yes I realize I am lame for watching it but it was just so poorly done - I had to!

You're not the only one that watched. I've never watched the show before, but I tuned in for this episode because I saw it advertised earlier that day. I was also annoyed that they referred to the chapter the girls were rushing as "Kappa." I always get annoyed when TV shows/movies use real nicknames for their fake organizations.

I did this and then after an 8 year hiatus they announced they'd be recording a new album! Score!

I still do not understand why The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo needed to be remade.

The original trilogy is awesome. They could have given it a few more years before remaking it. When I saw the commercial for this remake, I said "what? That sounds familiar...."

You know -- I noticed the film on Netflix and was wondering why they were running commercials for it. I had no idea it was a remake.

Why remake it 2 years later? Hmm..
