Apparently, it isn't too safe to order a blue sno-cone at the Sedgewick County Zoo in Wichita, Kansas. Well, now you can't even get one!

Why?

Four people got sick after consuming a blue sno-cone recently. Did you know that the syrup bottle is the same size, shape and color as the degreasing agent the park uses? I don't think one of the employees realized it either.

Somehow, a bottle of degreasing agent was accidentally placed next to the bottle of blue syrup. Instead of reading the bottle, an employee just grabbed it and poured into the sno-cone machine. Fortunately, the patrons who consumed the poisoned sno-cones didn't ingest enough of the toxic degreaser to be seriously injured.

Having been partnered to a chef for the past 5 years, I know how easy it is to put some things in the wrong place ... but why in the world do they keep cleaning products anywhere near a food product that could get contaminated??

I really hope that someone is held responsible for what happened.

I don't know if y'all have heard this, but there are school districts throughout the country that are banning hugging from their campuses. Some are placing "time limits" on their students' hugs.

When did hugging become some vile thing we need to ban along with guns, drugs and smoking?

These are some of the benefits of hugging ...

Well, we finally have some good news to report in the case of the stolen trip money.

Maya and Patricia Dyer have been arrested for felony theft.

Police interview over 40 parents who have lost their money. While there is still some confusion over who was arranging this trip, it is clear that the Dyers were in charge of the money. Most of the checks were endorsed by one of the two women.

The question now is will it go to trial to put them in jail and when, if at all, will the parents get their money back.

What the hell is going on in California? Did people there somehow get stupid all of a sudden?

Given the current atmosphere in California regarding gay rights, you would think that people would think things through before making ignorant decisions.

Mt. Woodsen Elementary School 6th grader Natalie Jones was called into the principal's office to discuss a school project she had been working on. The subject of the powerpoint presentation was Harvey Milk, the first gay man elected to a political office in the U.S. Principal Theresa Grace decided that before she could give her presentation, students would have to get permission slips from their parents.

Huh? Why would they need to do that? The answer?

Because Harvey Milk was gay.

Grace cited a district policy that requires parental permission for students to learn anything about sex.

Wait. I thought this was about Harvey Milk. Not about what he did in the bedroom.

In the end, Natalie was allowed to give the presentation but not in the classroom. She gave the report to 8 of the 13 classmates during their lunch period.

"Harvey Milk was an elected official in this state and an important person in history," says Natalie's mom, Bonnie Jones. "To say my daughter's presentation is sex education because Harvey Milk happened to be gay is completely wrong."

Is it just me or is anyone else worried about what kids are being taught by the discriminatory actions by the adults around them?

I am not a fan of the ACLU, but I'm glad to know they are backing Natalie and is considering suing the Ramona School District. They would like to see Natalie receive an apology and to be able to give her report in class. They also want the district to clarify their sex education policies so something like this doesn't happen again.

It is sad that it will take a lawsuit, or the threat of one, to make the district wake up. They have a principal teaching her students that learning about a gay leader is considered 'sex education'. It is scary to me that someone who is that ignorant is in charge of students' education.

A couple days ago I wrote about a group of 5th graders and their parents who got ripped-off by one of the trip organizers. Reporters were finally able to get in contact with the Dryers.

According to Maya Dryer, they've given the money back to everyone they had dealt with and that other organizers had the remainder of the money. She also told the reporter that some of the people actually went on the trip.

Um, no. None of the parents were given back their money and no one actually made the trip. How could they? There was no bus and no hotel rooms booked.

The victims all went to the police station to show their receipts to officers. According to the school, the school is not responsible because it was not organized through the school nor was it sponsored by them. Then why do some of the receipts say Brownsfield Elementary School on them? And some made checks payable to the school.

Just when we start getting answers, it gets even more complicated. Hopefully soon the police will be able to charge the Dryers with embezzlement and fraud soon.

Tonight, So You Think You Can Dance traveled west to Los Angeles and Seattle in search of some of the best dancers in America. Unfortunately, they also got some of the worst. And when I say worst, I mean Sex. If you've seen the show before, you know who "Sex" is. Trust me ... you'd rather run naked through Alaska in the winter than have an encounter with "Sex".

The Good and the Bad in LA ...

First, it was awesome that they had Adam Shankman judging alongside Nigel & Mary. An even bigger treat was that several of last season's top 20 were there for the auditions. Katee, Twitch and last season's champ Joshua came to watch the new hopefuls try out for the show.

Bianca - She is a tapper who just missed making the Top 20 last season. Tap isn't something you really see much anymore but this girl just makes tap dancing look so damn cool. She easily made it into the Vegas round again this season. Her obstacle will be showing that she can do more than just tap ... that doesn't always have the biggest impact on an audience in just 30 seconds.

Oska & Ricky - These two are the most unlikely ballroom couple. It isn't often you see an Asian pair dancing Latin ballroom. Last season, Oska made it to the final round in Vegas but Ricky didn't make the trip. This season, Ricky showed that he is no longer being outshined by Oska ... which is saying a lot. Besides being incredibly beautiful, Oska just has the ability to demand the attention in a room. I think she has a better chance than Ricky to make the Top 20.

Nathan - Easily the best dancer at the LA auditions. Only one problem ... he is only 17. But don't worry ... Nigel already gave him his ticket to Vegas for the new Fall season! And trust me, he is worth the wait. If he was just a year older, he would be a lock for at least the Top 40.

And the Scariest is ...

Stacey - Not sure what style she was supposed to be doing but it looked like she was having a violent seizure. She said she took dance classes on a farm. I'm just wondering if she was hooked up to a milking machine while she practiced.

And up in Seattle ...

We got our first sighting of Mia Michaels! She is one of my 2 favorite choreographers on the show. In fact, until last season her dances were the only ones I was always excited about every week. Then Sonya came to the show. Last season I kept hoping they would have one routine from each on each show.

I apologize for not having many people from the Seattle auditions. I had some computer trouble ... but also they had trouble finding talent there! The first day of auditions, they only had 4 people make it through. Fortunately they had more on Day 2.

Kelsea - She was easily my favorite dancer of the night. I must admit I like the "quirky" dancers. I had written down that Sonya would love to get her hands on this girl. Then Nigel turned to Mary and said, "Sonya would love her!" I guess I know what I'm talking about ... ok, sometimes I do. The best description I could give of the routine is that it reminded me of Tim Burton's Corpse Bride. And that is just cool.

And then it got weird...

"Wise Leo" - This guy is originally from Kiev, Ukraine and I have no idea how to say his real name, let alone spell it. He apparently goes by that nickname. All I can say about this guy is WHAT THE HELL??? He looked like a spastic Jazzercise extra! Only someone at a rave - and on some serious drugs - would think this guy was any good.

And then it got worse. They actually thought of having a dance battle between that guy and David "Sex" Soller. To get a better understand of just what this "Sex" guy is all about, watch this ....

Got a better idea of how delusional David Soller is now??

For some reason the guy keeps coming back ... 4 seasons now. Time for the idiot to give it up! As for that dance battle? It was SCARY. I had to turn it off ... my eyes were burning.

Thankfully, we're finished watching horrible dancers ... Vegas week is next week!

This photo of Robert Pattinson was taken on the set of New Moon on location in Italy. I figured I would post this since I know I have plenty of Edward Cullen fans. Hell, even I am impressed.

That's the truth! Hugh Jackman & Daniel Craig are teaming up on Broadway this Fall. Somehow I think it would be better if they were dressed like this :

Tonight was the second installment of the So You Think You Can Dance auditions. Like last week, this episode showed auditions from two cities; Memphis and Miami. And like last week, there were some great performances and some even greater trainwrecks. Of course, we love those hot messes who think they can dance.

In Miami, some of the performers to watch out for were :

Paris - She was a former Miss Washington title holder and is a lyrical/contemporary dancer who did some really creative movements with her body and keep me wondering what was coming next. Despite judge Tyce D'Orio wanting to see her come back for the choreography round, Paris got a ticket straight to the Las Vegas bootcamp! Paris' problem will be finding a way to really stand out from all the other great lyrical dancers.

Janette & Romulo - Last season, the couple auditioned in Washington, D.C. and Romulo was cut after doing the choreography. Janette, on the other hand, was through to Vegas and just missed making the Top 10 girls. I remember watching their Latin ballroom routine last year ... and this year they were so much better. The partner work was extraordinary which shows the judges that they will be great at partner work ... which is the cornerstone of the live shows. This season, both dancers were put straight through to Vegas.

Thalia - Thalia's story was the most intriguing of the evening. She was married at 18 and just less than 4 years later, her husband was killed in a motorcycle accident. That was 2 years ago. Her audition for the show was her way of connecting to life again. Watching her hip hop/contemporary routine, I had a feeling of "just wanting" this to happen for her. Although the judges had do the choreography round, Thalia made it to Vegas! I just hope that she did the work before Vegas week to help her stand out during boot camp.

And the hot messes ...

"Tony" - This guy was shown in a long interview as a lead-in to his audition. He said that he does 'tony style' which can be "as kinky as [he] wants." He also claimed he could dance for five or six hours without stopping. Well, he "danced" for two minutes and he had to be checked out by medics because he was having trouble breathing. Typical guy ... says they can go for hours but after just 2 mins, they're done.

Wislande - I think she thought she was auditioning to be a stripper. Or maybe it was a dancing hooker? She actually thought she didn't need to prove she could dance! She told Nigel, "well i know i can dance ... its for you to show me what to do." Um, no.

And those to watch for from Memphis ...

Caitlyn - Her sister had gotten put straight through to Vegas during the Miami auditions so she had a little pressure on her! It was also noted that she had been dancing for only 5 years and had had hip reconstruction surgery in the past ... which made it amazing that she recovered enough to continue dancing. She was amazing and even better than her sister.

Anna - She was dancing in public for the first time in a year ... when her father took his own life. Like Tahlia in Miami, this was a huge personal statement that she was even auditioning. While her movement was amazing, the judges didn't like that she had over-choreographed her audition solo. She went on to the choreography round and was sent through to Vegas.

Evan & Ryan - No, it's not another same-sex ballroom couple ... they're brothers. Last season, Evan made it all the way until the Top 40 in Vegas and missed out on making the live shows. Ryan was auditioning for the first time, although he had choreographed Evan's solo and his solo last year as well. Evan did a Gene Kelly-style jazz piece and easily earned a ticket to Vegas. Ryan did an acapella tap routine ... accompanied by a whoopie cushion. It may seem odd, but it was brilliant. And yes, he made it too.

And the one I'd like to forget ...

Chris - He had red dreadlocks down to his waist and honestly looked like he was on something. He had created his own style that he coined 'electric'. I'm not sure what the hell he was doing but it looked more like a witch dancing in the moonlight with the rest of their coven. He didn't even want to let the judges critique the routine ... So why was he even there? I don't even think he knew!

The auditions resume Thursday night at 8PM EST/7PM CST with the Los Angeles and Seattle auditions.

And Big news! SYTYCD has announced that they have added a Fall season for the show and tomorrow the auditions will start in Boston! You interested in auditioning? Check out the show's site for information.

Well it has been awhile since I did one of my "Yummy" postings ...
So here y'all go - a double treat!

Oprah's #1 gay ... Nate Berkus - Even better since he grew the beard!

I was watching television the other day and I heard this question and I was wondering ...

Do kids today have more attitude?

I'm curious what others think. I remember when I was a kid if we talked back to our parents, we got spanked or punished in various ways. These days, if you even talk about spanking a child you can end up with Child Services at your door. You can't ground someone or send them to their room as punishment because that's where they want to be anyway ... that's where their computer, video games and television are!

So ... what do y'all think?

By now I am sure y'all have heard the news that the California State Supreme court upheld Prop 8. That isn't to say that they ruled that gay marriage shouldn't exist. What it means is that the Court does not have the constitutional right to nullify the vote of the people.

The bright spot of this decision is that the Court ruled that all the 18,000+ same-sex marriages from before Prop 8 will remain and be recognized as marriages. Also, domestic partnerships will continue to be recognized in the same way they have been. but from this point, only heterosexual unions could be called "marriage". A federal lawsuit has already been filed on behalf of two men and two women. The lawsuit is also asking for an injunction on any action regarding Prop 8 until the matter is settled in federal courts.

Naturally, both sides will bring the issue to the people again either next year or the year after. Hopefully, the U.S. Supreme Court would have settled this issue by then. Ha! Yeah, even I don't think that will happen anytime soon.

Thinking about this issue ... it makes me wonder. Why is it that certain people want separation of church and state only when it suits THEIR needs? They don't want anyone telling them how or what they can worship but it something goes against their religious beliefs, then they bring religion into it. Sounds a double standard to me. Why is it that the lawmakers don't see that? They are supposedly "educated" - you would think they learned at some point that you can't have it both ways.

I think it all boils down to one thing ... throughout history, we have seen groups of people discriminated against for many things and each time the government has said that you cannot discriminate based on things like religion, race and now sexual orientation. If the federal government says you cannot discriminate based on sexual orientation, why isn't anyone stepping up? I would think by now people in this country would have learned something about equality.

Does anyone else remember Barack Obama making campaign promises regarding gay rights and equality? So far, he seems to be 0-2 ... first "no comment" on Don't Ask, Don't Tell and I don't see anyone from the White House making a comment on Prop 8 or any of the other legal battles going on seeking equal treatment for homosexuals.

In a related story, the Governor of Nevada vetoed a domestic partnership bill today. It will go back to the state legislature for another vote to overturn the veto.

Sometimes I wonder if we will ever stop being 2nd class citizens in the US.

This is Pokey's favorite position we think ... We call it the "question mark" because he lites on his back with his legs and tail in the air. Then he flops his head to the side in a way that creates something resembling a question mark. How in the world is that comfortable? Would be nice if that were the biggest worry in my day too!

I have heard of some despicable con jobs but this one takes the cake.

83 students and parents from Brownsfield Elementary in Baton Rouge were celebrating the students graduating the fifth grade by taking a bus trip to Atlanta. The trip cost $250 per person and included excursions to Six Flags, the Coca-Cola museum and the Martin Luther King, Jr. History Center.

They would never make that trip.

When the parents and children showed up to leave for Atlanta, they found out there never was a trip and over $22,000 was now missing. Three parents were listed as organizers for the trip: Shandell Brown, Maya Dryer and Dawn Tolbert. Local 9News spoke to one of the parents who didn't want to be identified. She and other parents said that Maya Dryer was in charge of the money.

Apparently, the money was handed over to Maya Dryer, who then turned it over to her mother, Patricia. Now no one seems to know where that money is.

Except the Dryers.

No one answered the door at the Dryer house. Police and the EBR School District are investigating the embezzlement.

I don't know about y'all but this disgusts me. In a city where kids are failing and the schools are failing, here is a group of people celebrating the children's academic success. And these people had to piss on that and rip off a group of children. These were children who were more excited about going to the MLK Jr. History Center than they were about going to Six Flags.

I hope they make sure these people go to jail for what they've done. It is people like them that help make people lose hope and trust in other people. No child should be ripped off like this.

After sending five guys home last week, Jillian still had twenty guys in the running for her heart. This week's episodes had Jillian going on three dates: 2 group dates and 1 one-on-one date. And like this past season of The Bachelor, not all the guys would go on dates with Jillian at all.

The first date was a pool party group date. On this date, Jillian had: Wes, Tanner P., Michael, Brad, Julian, Ed, Brian and Sasha. While the first part of the group date was pretty uneventful, it wasn't long before Jillian took the rose and took off with it. Host Chris Harrison informed the guys that there was a twist to the date. The guys were split into 4 pairs of two and had to race throughout Los Angeles to find Jillian. For the most part, the guys were acting like drunken frat guys ... don't they realize they are on national television and should probably act like they have class even if they don't have any?

The first clue took them to a restaurant in Hollywood where the guys had to change into tuxedos. The next clue, which was in the pockets of the tuxes, took them to the "line" in the kitchen where they found a clue telling them to go left out of the restaurant door and find Jillian's "friends" which was a jewelry store. Once there, the guys had to choose one of four necklaces that they thought would look best on Jillian. The next clue took the guys to a bank vault where Jillian would be locked in with one of the guys for a one-on-one meal.

Here is the crappy part of the scavenger hunt. Brad and Wes were the first two guys to make it to Jillian and therefore, one would dine with Jillian. Because she actually buys Wes' story that he wrote a song for her and that he is there for her (even though we know he just wants to be discovered) and despite the fact that Brad did all the work to get them there first, Jillian chose Wes for the dinner date.

WHAT? How the hell could Jillian actually buy his "I wrote this song for you but anyone willing to sign me to a label can have it" routine? And of course, he became the first guy to kiss her - which, of course, the rest of the guys watched on a television screen. And yes, Wes got the rose.

Ew.

I really wish the people on this show wouldn't pick the slimiest contestants to stick around. Although, I must say that Jillian has more than the usual handful of douchebags this season.

On a happier note, the next date card arrived and Jake (the pilot) was given the honor of having the first one-on-one date with Jillian. If y'all remember, Jake was my pick based on the first episode. And I have to tell you, I am even more impressed with him after this date!

Jillian took Jake to get some new country-style clothes and then to the House of Blues for a private dinner. One of the best things about Jake is that he is looking for his "best friend," which we know is what Jillian is also looking for. Before eating, Jillian wanted to teach Jake some "two step" moves ... surprise! Jake ended up teaching her some moves instead. Nice to see that there is more to the handsome pilot! After some great conversation, Jillian surprised Jake with special private concert ... with Martina McBride! How awesome it must have been to have Martina serenade them for their first dance together.

I wouldn't have minded dancing with Jake to that either! And you better believe that our stud got the rose.

The other group date was next. The guys on it this time were: Jesse, Mark, David, Senor Crisco (Mike), Simon, Kiptyn and Juan. This time, the guys and Jillian got to play some basketball against each other. After a while, Jillian told the guys she had a surprise for them. When she returned, she had some of the Harlem Globetrotters with her. After they finished playing, they all went down to the beach to hang out and relax. After Jillian said something about being spontaneous, Senor Crisco stripped down to a speedo, he ran to the ocean to jump in.

The date then went inside for some relaxation and for Jillian to get a chance to talk to some of the guys alone. Before anything else, Jillian suggested doing a shot to toast the occasion. After the toast, Juan poured out his shot rather than drink. I would have probably offered my shot to someone else, but I did not see anything wrong with what he did. Apparently, David did. He kept going on about Juan violating some ridiculous 'man-code' when he didn't drink the shot. When did they go back to a frat house?? David's suggested solution was to "tie [Juan] to a tree and beat the shit out of him." All because he violated some caveman code. I really wish Jillian could see that kind of stuff go on so we wouldn't have to keep listening to some of these idiots.

In the end, Senor Crisco got the rose since he jumped in the ocean in a speedo. Oy, Jillian is not the best judge of guys is she?

At the cocktail party, only a few interesting things happened. We got to see just how ugly Wes' personality is when he interrupted Robby's time with Jillian after just a couple minutes - despite the fact that he already had a rose AND had been in the house for 3 days with Jillian! Also, Brian decided he was going to impress Jillian by stripping down into his birthday suit and jumping in the pool. Don't think that was gonna work for him.

The big excitement was that, like last season, the bachelors got to vote on the person they thought should go home immediately. Unfortunately, the guys couldn't choose Wes like they wanted. So, the guys chose Juan over David & Julien. Chris then announced that Jillian had the power to veto the vote by giving Juan a rose right then and there. Which she did. That made both our picks able to stick around for at least one more week!

At the rose ceremony; Brian, Simon, Julien and Mathue were the four guys left without a rose. When asked about his attempt to impress Jillian, Brian said that at the time, "the cold made me hung like a light switch and had shrinkage."

Sure ... blame it on the cold, Brian.

Don't get your panties in a twist y'all.

He isn't ... YET.

Queen's lead guitarist Brian May told Rolling Stone, "it's not like we, as Queen, would rush into coalescing with another singer just like that. It isn't that east. But I'd certainly like to work with Adam. That is one amazing instrument he has there."

He also said he is "hoping to have a meaningful conversation with [Adam] at some point."

Anyone else excited about the possibility of a collaboration between the two or even them joining forces?? Could be bigger than Daughtry!

In Beijing, a man named Chen Fuchao walked onto a bridge to contemplate suicide, because of a large debt he had incurred from a failed construction project.

After several hours of thinking, a passer-by, 66yo Lai Jiansheng, walked up to him, shook his hand, then pushed him off the bridge.

No, really. He did.

Why?

He said that what Chen, and others like him, was doing was 'selfish behavior'. Thanks to Chen's behavior, traffic had been backed up for 5 hours. Lia felt that jumpers like Chen's actions are 'violations of public interest'.

Lia had originally offered to talk Chen down from jumping but the police turned him away. So, he decided to bust through the barricade, climb up to Chen's perch and push him off. Lia's actions after that seem to look as if Lia thought himself a hero.

"They do not really dare to kill themselves. Instead, they just want to raise the relevant government authorities' attention to their appeals," said Lia as he was being taken away by police.

Fortunately for Chen (or possibly unfortunately), he landed on a partially inflated emergency air cushion 26 feet below. He survived with spinal and elbow injuries.

Why would someone think it is okay to push someone off a bridge - even if he is thinking of jumping himself?

Back in February, Congress was deliberating about the economic stimulus package that President Obama had put together. If you remember, Republicans were questioning the amount of wasteful spending that Obama had included in the spending. The other night I read about some government funding that made me very angry.

Did you know that the government is paying millions of TAXPAYER MONEY to study PROSTITUTES??

No, really... They are!

The National Institute of Health (NIH) apparently does many studies that are prostitute-related. One such study is about surveying 60 prostitutes (36 women, 24 transgendered) in Thailand to find out why drug-abusing Thai prostitutes are at greater risk of HIV-infection.

The cost? $178,000. And the hookers aren't even in the USA!

I can answer that question for FREE! The hookers are high and they don't use condoms because they make more money without them! I would also imagine that they are sharing needles because it is cheaper. Did they really need all that money to find that out?

Another study they did was study gay men in Argentina to find out why they engage in risky sexual behavior when drunk.

Could it be because they are DRUNK? I've seen first hand what drunk people do in bars, they didn't need to go to Argentina to figure it out.

Oh, and that study cost $400,000.

The most infuriating thing I read was that the NIH spent $2.6 MILLION to teach prostitutes in CHINA to drink less while having sex on the job! I don't blame them for drinking ... I would imagine being drunk or high would make it easier to do something that you hate doing too. Apparently, they did this to slow down the spread of AIDS in China.

But why are they using OUR hard-earned taxes to pay for all this (and much more) in OTHER COUNTRIES? Many watchdog groups have published articles about stuff like this ... Why isn't it being fixed?

That's right ... now that Idol has come to an end, it is time for So You Think You Can Dance to begin its season on FOX. They also announced some awesome news ... They will be doing a Fall season as well!

For those who've never seen the show, it is basically like Idol but for young dancers. They will do a couple weeks of auditions episodes from cities like New York, Denver and Miami then show the Las Vegas "boot camp" before announcing the Top 10 girls and Top 10 boys. They then pair the boys and girls for the live shows where they perform various dance styles including ballroom, hip hop, lyrical and even disco. Each week viewers vote and one boy and one girl leave each week. Some of the choreography on this show is incredible. They have the Emmys to prove it!

Tonight's auditions took place in New York City and Denver, Colorado. One of the great things about these episodes is seeing the dancers who just missed making the show last year. Unfortunately, with good ... comes the bad. And the really, really bad.

Some of the dancers to watch for out of NYC are: Gabi, the daughter of a circus performer who lives with rheumatory arthritis and may be someone who could win the entire competition; Peter, who is the first tap dancer get put straight through to Vegas and is pretty hot, so he is nice to watch; and Kellen, who performed a routine with an umbrella that was inspired by the death of his favorite aunt. There were many others but these are the ones who stuck out to me.

Like I said before, with the good comes the bad. The two performances that were the worst were: 'Crazy Kate' and her partner Ron who did some sort of line dancing ... at least that's what I think they were doing; and Thomas & Amanda who attempted the Balero, a highly sensual ballroom style ... but theirs had nothing sensual about it. Is it horrible that during the routine you kind of wish the guy would drop the girl?

The one routine that really stuck out for me was a 24-year-old woman named Tiffany, who was born with a type of spinal dysplasia and wasn't expected to survive 2 months let alone 24 years. Despite her physical limitations, she was beautiful to watch and you couldn't help getting lost in her movements. Unfortunately, her limitations keep her from being able to go farther into the competition, but I was so glad I got to watch her dance.

The Denver auditions didn't really provide much excitement but there were two dancers who made going there worthwhile.

Last season, the final spot for the girls came down between roommates Katee and Natalie, both lyrical/contemporary dancers. Originally, the judges had decided to put Katee into the Top 10. When they had the two of them together before the judges, Nigel asked the two if they didn't make it, would they come back for next season. Katee said no. They led the judges to do a revote which ended in tie vote. That meant the original vote stood and Natalie was left out of the Top 10. Well, she proved that she deserved that spot - and she was even better this time.

On the boys side, the last spot in the Top 10 came down between Gev, a b-boy, and Brandon, a lyrical dancer. Like Natalie, Brandon just missed the Top 10 when the judges announced that Gev would be the one dancing on the show. He also proved in Denver that he belongs in that Top 10.

I would be shocked if Natalie and Brandon don't make the Top 20.

The only real 'bad' performance to highlight was when two guys named Mitch and Misha performed a "same-sex" samba routine. It wasn't half bad ... then the two guys went BOOM! and fell flat on their asses when attempted a lift. Nigel said they looked like Will Farrell & Jon Heder in Blades of Glory. Yes, that bad.

Next week the judges travel to Miami and Memphis as they search for the most popular dancer in America.

Have heard about the mother who buried her son in a playground sandbox?

Tiffany Toribio, 23, strangled her 3-year-old son and buried him in a sandbox. The weird part of this story is that part of the way throughout killing him, she changed her mind and began performing CPR on him in an effort to save him.

Then, for some unknown reason, she decided to finish what she started.

After the boy had been missing for a week, the body of the child was found that sandbox.

According to the Albuquerque police, the woman said the reason she did it was "so that he wouldn't grow up knowing no one cared about him ... like I did."

I wish she could have gotten help before she did this. Obviously there is something wrong with her psychologically.

Yes folks, you read that correctly.

Apparently, a woman was caught trying to shoplift at a Memphis Wal-Mart. When she was confronted by security guards, she decided to throw her 2-month-old nephew, who was sitting in his car seat, at a security guard.

I could understand trying to escape by throwing the car seat, but the baby? Is she insane?!

Apparently, one throw was not enough for this women. After the baby hit the floor, she picked him up and hurled him at a good Samaritan who was trying to tend to the baby.

The woman was able to escape as she abandoned the baby and his mother, who missed the ordeal because she was in the restroom.

I can't imagine what items were so damn important to the woman that she would use this poor baby like he was a shotput! I doubt that she was trying to steal something of much value. Some people amaze me at how ignorant they are.

Thankfully, the baby and the others are doing fine.

The police are now searching for the woman. I hope she goes to jail for this!

I know that title sounds odd ... but I have some thoughts about the final voting on American Idol.

First off, I'm happy for Kris.

Did he deserve to win? Not if we're basing it on performance, star quality or versatility.

For starters, Kris benefited from the website Vote For The Worst telling their readers to vote for Kris - only because they didn't want Adam to win.

Secondly, I was very disappointed when someone told me they were voting for Kris solely for the reason that they didn't want the "faggot" to win. They told me they were Christians and therefore had to make sure the Christian won. Who's to say that Adam isn't a Christian? Has Adam actually verified the gossip going around about his sexuality? Heck this person hadn't even voted for Idol before - and there are many more out there like this person.

What hurt the most is that this is NOT how a Christian should behave. Why are there so many who try to justify their hate by saying, 'I'm a Christian." Funny, I have read the Bible and I don't remember seeing where it says that we should discriminate or hate other people.

The silver lining in Kris winning is that Adam will not have to sing that horrible song again. That single could kill Kris Allen's career before it even begins. Also, Adam won't have to worry about 19 Entertainment and the producers of Idol screwing with his image. Now he will be able to sign with a label that is going to allow Adam to be Adam.

That is worth Adam coming in second. I can't wait!

In a way, the last episode is kind of sad as it marks the end of the season, it is just plain sad because of the rejects we are forced to listen to. We voted them off for a reason!

The show started off with a montage of each judge. They showed some of Paula's most drunken moments; Randy being his usual ignorant self; Kara's love of the words 'sweetie' and 'honey'; and for some reason, Simon's hearing problem. That was three minutes I will never get back.

First massacre of the night was Pink's So What ... oddly enough it wasn't as big a hot mess as I expected. Although, it would have been much better had they given a big solo part to Allison Iraheta.

That was followed by a performance of Permanent by David Cook. I'm not a big fan of his but I thought it is very cool of him to be releasing the live performance to I-Tunes for charity. All proceeds from the song will go to ABC Squared to help find a cure for brain cancer, which his brother recently died from.

Ryan then presented the first "Golden Idol" for "Outstanding" Male from the auditions. No surprise that it went to Nick Mitchell aka Normund Gentle. Mitchell then treated the audience to an encore of And I am Telling You. That boy is hilarious, people!

He also gave the "Outstanding" Female to Tatiana Del Toro. Ya know, she may be annoying as hell but at least the girl can sing. I'd preferred her in the finals over Megan and Jasmine.

For Best Attitude, they had Katrina aka Bikini Girl come out on stage in an even skimpier bikini. Ryan said he would ask what's new, but he already could see what is new ... her obvious boob job. Then we had to suffer through her singing Vision of Love again. At least this time, Kara DioGuardi came out in the middle and sang the hell out of the song ... and revealed herself in a bikini as well.

My eyes still hurt.

Then we started the duets. First up was Queen Latifah and Lil Rounds singing Cue The Rain. Why couldn't Lil sing that good during the competition? I wouldn't have slammed her so hard!

The next collaboration was Jason Mraz with Alexis Grace and Anoop Desai singing I'm Yours. That would have been much better if they muted Alexis and Anoop.

Then we had the unusual duet of Kris Allen and Keith Urban, singing Kiss A Girl. Does that mean they are going to try to push Kris as a country artist? I hope not since he is NOT a country singer.

We then had to endure the Idol females singing Fergie's Glamorous. Am I the other person who thought that Megan Joy looked like a hooker? I'm not sure what was worse ... her outfit or her singing. That song led into an appearance of Fergie to join the girls singing Big Girls Don't Cry. After that, the rest of Black Eyed Peas came out and performed their smash hit, Boom Boom Boom.

The next duet was kind of weird. Allison teamed up with Cyndi Lauper to sing Time After Time. Allison sounded fine on it but was Cyndi on something? I didn't quite understand what she was trying to do.

Danny Gokey was up next with Lionel Richie's Hello and then Richie joined him on stage for Just Go and All Night Long. SURPRISE! Lionel Richie just released a new album. What a shocker. Oh ... Karaoke Gokey proved he still can't dance. Surprisingly, though, he actually sounded good tonight! He was another one who was remarkably better tonight than when they were still in the competition.

Perhaps the best duet of the night was when Adam Lambert started off with Beth and then teamed with KISS to sing Detroit Rock City and Rock and Roll All Night. He showed once again just how big a star he was going to be because he out-shined KISS ... and that is really hard to do.

Next up was Carlos Santana who performed Black Majic Woman with Matt Giraud. That was followed up by a ear-punishing rendition of Smooth by all the Idols. Anyone able to tell me what the hell Jorge Nunez was trying to do while he had his one solo moment of the evening? I couldn't tell if he was trying to act sexy or if he was having some kind of seizure.

The next performance was the most disturbing of the night. Who the hell decided they should book Steve Martin to do his horrible banjo playing for the show? Poor Michael Sarver (SWOON!) had to sing with him ... and Megan Joy. The bitch can't perform ... why give her a duet to do? Jasmine didn't get one ... Megan didn't need to!

The girl was so bad that Steve Martin looked as if he had to take a shit during her performance. She couldn't even get the timing right.

I felt horrible for my Hottie. I'll make him feel better ...

The next massacre performance was the boys doing If You Think I'm Sexy followed by Rod Stewart singing Maggie Mae. I loved the older songs of Rod Stewart's but damn he is way past his prime.

The final performance was Kris and Adam teaming up to do We Are The Champions ... with QUEEN! Definitely a highlight for me. Oh, and Adam clearly out-shined Kris once again.

Oh ... the winner. Yeah. Kris won. I'm not happy about that but I will write another posting about that.

So, another season of American Idol has finished. We now just get to wonder if there will even be a next season given all the judge drama that has been going on ...

This is just disturbing.

Apparently, a 17-year-old Pittsburgh high school student thought it was a good idea to use a biology class snake as a jump rope.

No, really ... he did.

For his complete stupidity, he is being charged with theft and cruelty to animals. He is fortunate that he is being tried in juvenile court. Had he been 18, the consequences to his actions would have been much more severe.

The snake appears to be fine and is in the care of a veterinarian.

Why the hell would someone think this was a good idea, let alone actually do it?

Maybe someone should use HIM as a jump rope.

If you didn't, you missed a great show.

I order you to click here and watch what may be the best new show this fall!

I will warn you now ... you will find yourself singing along.

For those who watch Project Runway, you know about the drama that has taken place ever since the creators of the show decided to switch to Lifetime after several seasons on the Bravo network.

After much negotiation, the show was finally allowed to switch networks.

In its place, Bravo created a crappy imitation called The Fashion Show. It is hosted by Destiny's Child's Kelly Rowland and the judge's panel is headed by fashion designer Isaac Mizrahi.

This past weekend I stayed at my in-laws house and had cable for the first time in months. Let me just say, this show was wretched.

First off, what fashion expertise does Kelly Rowland have? At least the other show has Heidi Klum, who actually has some fashion expertise. Secondly, Isaac Mizrahi isn't exactly the most notable designer out there today. Heck, if he didn't have a line of clothes at Target, most people wouldn't even know who he is these days. The only real credible thing about this show is that Ferne Mallis, the head of NY Fashion Week, is on the judging panel.

Possibly the worst part about this show is the designers they chose. I am not sure they could have found any flamier gay men to be on the show. And that Honduran guy needs a good bitch slap.

What I find really funny is that the contestants keep throwing around their schooling. I have news for them ... being in school and actually doing it professionally are two very different things. It doesn't really matter what school you went to. Hell, many of the top designers are self-taught.

If I were Bravo ... I would pull this show and put your viewers (the dozen or so actually watching) out of their misery.

For those who don't remember him, Ethan Zohn was the popular winner of Survivor: Africa. Recently, Zohn was diagnosed with Stage 2 Hodgkin's Disease. Just last week, he was diagnosed with an extremely rare form of the disease, CD20-positive Hodgkin's lymphoma. Although this form of the cancer is found in roughly 5% of people with Hodgkin's, the doctors say the survival rate is around 90%.

Zohn's girlfriend, Survivor: The Amazon winner Jenna Morasca, is committed to helping him through this rough time and be there to help him beat the cancer. Both Zohn and Morasca are no strangers to cancer. Both Zohn's father and Morasca's mother have lost battles with cancer.

"This is the ultimate game of Survivor," Zohn, 35, tells PEOPLE exclusively, "and there's really only one outcome, and that's to win. There's no other option."

Zohn has already begun chemotherapy. I hope he can win this fight.

This is Dr. Fredric Brandt who is most well known as being Madonna's dermatologist. I think the best description of this guy is "jaw-dropping evidence of what happens when cosmetic dermatologists get high on their own supply."

The woman off to the side is Lisa Falcone, the wife of hedge fund mogul Phil Falcone. Apparently, she went to him to get Botox and Restylane and he threw a hissyfit because she got Botox and Sculptra injections from another (non-famous) doctor. But he gave her the treatments anyways.

Would YOU trust this guy??

First, I have to admit I didn't see a lot of the first hour because of the preview of Glee over on FOX. Let me tell you ... if you didn't watch it, get yourself over to FOX.com and watch it. It might be one of the best written shows debuting this fall ... especially considering it is a FOX show!

As for the DWTS finals, I knew the first hour would be mostly a parade of the crappy dancers like Denise Richards, Belinda Carlisle and The Woz.

Speaking of the Woz ... did we really need to bust out that pink boa again? And why, oh why, did Tom Bergeron ask him to do the 'worm'? Looked more like a spastic or dying worm to me.

As for the finalists dancing one more time for judges' scores, I knew they would give them all perfect 30's so they wouldn't change the results. With the scores so close last night, it would come down to the viewer voting to decide a winner.

My pick, Melissa, came on third. Not too shabby considering she had like 3 days notice before joining the cast at the beginning of the season.

The winner? Thankfully it was NOT Gilles!

Congratulations to SHAWN JOHNSON - the youngest competitor in the show's history and now, the youngest champion as well!

I don't think I have been shy to voice my love of Adam Lambert this season. And tonight is no different. The finale didn't have the same overall excitement of last season's finale but Adam lived up to all the hype. Kris, not so much.

Tonight the two guys performed three songs: a personal choice, a producer's choice and the 'winner's song' which was co-wrote by Kara DioGuardi. Once again, the original song for the winner is pretty craptastic.

Round 1 - Personal Choice

Adam - Mad World by Tears For Fears - Even better than the first time he performed this song. He could be THE best performer that Idol has ever had.

Kris - Ain't No Sunshine by Bill Withers - Definitely great vocals, but he didn't even look at the audience once during the performance. I agree with Simon to a point - he proved why he is in the finals.

Simon says ... KRIS won round 1 ... barely.

Round 2 - Producer's Choice

Simon says .... ADAM won round 2 ... by 1 million percent!

Round 3 - Winner's Song

Based on the judges' comments .... ADAM won round 3!

The question is .... Who will win the viewer vote?

OK Kids, it's time to crown a new American Idol ...

Let's support the greatest performer Idol has had!

Those of y'all who watched last season of The Bachelor will remember Jillian Harris, who was sent home by the evil Jason in the next-to-last rose ceremony. If you're like me, you fell in love with her quirky personality. I was really hoping that they would make her the next Bachelorette and was thrilled when it was announced.

Unlike Jason, Jillian was still her same likable self during the first "getting to know you" party. I think this is going to be one of the best seasons they have done throughout the history of the series. Jillian just has that ability to draw you in with her personality and make you want to see her find the person she is looking for.

One of the first twists was that Jillian would have 5 extra guys to choose from. A few were okay, and a few weren't worth adding to the mix. I wonder how many guys will be eliminated next week since there will be 20 instead of 15.

Some of the guys I liked ...

Juan, the contractor. Something about him just made me drawn to him. Doesn't hurt that he is a handsome guy ... or a "hunk" as my friend Lisa called him.

Jake, the airline pilot. IMO, he was the best looking man on the show. Also, he has the same "marry your best friend" philosophy that Jillian has.

David, from Ohio. That's almost everything he said outside when he met Jillian. His nerves took over and I thought he was sunk right there. Instead, he used his one-on-one time to make up for it and he was awarded the 'first impression rose'.

Kiptyn. I'm not sure how I feel about him yet. He was cute, but I just couldn't get a read on him.

Who turned me off ...

Steve, the lawyer. The guy should have to wear an "I'm a Douchebag" sign.

Wes, the country singer. The first thing that popped in my head is that he seems to only be on the show to get some exposure and to get discovered. He said he wrote a song (that he sung) for her ... but I'm sure it's just a song he wrote and is hoping a producer or someone will hear it on the show.

Kyle, the idiot. The guy drew a moustache on her hand. Can we say, loser?

Mike, Senor Crisco. He was one of the 5 extra guys. My friend Lisa nicknamed him "the Crisco guy" because it looked like he had an entire container of it in his hair.

Greg aka. "Billbro", the fitness model. He may be one of the biggest "tools" to ever be cast on this show.

Jesse. He wore a t-shirt that said,"aspiring Canadian." Can we say desperate?

Tanner P. He is completely handsome ... but he has a pervy foot fetish. Not saying all fetishes are pervy ... but man was he creepy.

Was awesome to see Steve and Billbro be eliminated. I don't think I could have watched them much longer. Steve proved how big a tool he is when he stated, "maybe she doesn't like awesome guys." I have news for him, he isn't as awesome as he thinks he is.

During the upcoming highlights, there were a few things that caught my ear. Is someone there just for exposure? Do three of the guys already have girlfriends?? Is someone there just to become the next Bachelor???

Should make for an interesting season!

You Sex and the City fans out there should remember Craig Bierko. He was the guy that Carrie dated who was the music club owner with ADHD. Was nice how they kept showing him with now shirt on .... Well, today on Rachel Ray, they showed the following club of a "talk show" in the tub ... I warn you, John Malkovich is not a pretty man without his clothes on!

Well I think most of us knew way back in week 1 that the finalists would be Melissa, Gilles and Shawn. I am still kind of surprised it worked out that way since usually one of the best dancers gets eliminated far too early. At least this season, we got one awesome show for the finals!

This season, the finals consists of a paso doble face-off, the freestyle dance and one more dance for the judge's tomorrow night. As always, the viewer votes will count for 50% of the score.

In the paso, the judges picked Gilles as the winner, with a perfect 30/30. I disagree. Maybe it is just because we have a different view but I think the judges missed that in the beginning, he looked like a cartoon character out there. In the end of the dance, where all three couples were performing, he actually looked like he ran out of steam and clearly didn't look the strongest of the three.

Melissa took second, just one point behind Gilles. I thought it should have been the other way around. Melissa clearly had the most intensity of the three and she just did one amazing thing about another. Her turn sequence was the highlight of the face-off for me.

Shawn was in third but only one point behind Melissa. I was surprised that she received a 10 from Bruno. Shawn was clearly the most subdued of the three and in a dance that should be danced aggressively, she failed at that aspect of the style.

In the freestyle round, Shawn was the clear winner with a perfect 30/30. She definitely was fun to watch and they were smart to not throw up a ton of gymnastic tricks. Unfortunately for Melissa, Tony threw in way too many tricks and it looked like she was doing a cheerleading routine at times. I think if they had done less tricks, she would have gotten higher than a 27/30. Gilles wasn't much better. In fact, I thought he was over-scored with a 28/30. No way did he deserve a 10 from any judge. They did a throwback to Flashdance ... which focuses on the woman! Why focus on the professional dancer and not the celebrity?

Overall, Shawn and Gilles are tied with 58/60 points with Melissa just two points behind with 56/60. Depending on what the judges scores are tomorrow night (which the judges usually give them all the same scores so that the viewer vote decides it), Melissa's fan support could win it for her. She has been behind by much more and survived!

... JT and Stephen would be dead.

Well, we have to back up a couple days. The final episode started off with the final four players arriving back at camp after slaying Captain Douchebag. [Note: I was giddy as hell about that.]

At the first immunity challenge, the players had to race through a tarantula shaped maze where they had to climb through tunnels make of rope. At the end of the tunnels, they had to grab a bag of puzzle pieces. Then, they had to race back and solve the puzzle once they had all three bags. Naturally, JT was the first to retrieve all his puzzle pieces but was followed fairly closely by Stephen and then Taj ... with Erinn bringing up the rear.

Despite having a huge lead, JT just barely managed to edge out Erinn for the win.

At the first Tribal of the night, most of the discussion centered around the subject of keeping Taj versus keeping Erinn in the game. Based on that discussion - and the comments made earlier - I knew that the boys would take the coward way out and blindside their third alliance member, Taj.

Assholes. [More on this later]

The big drawback to taking out Taj? Now they had to listen to Erinn's never-ending verbal diarrhea.

Like every season before, the final three had to take the 'walk of the fallen' and reflect on the losers they enjoyed getting rid of. As they reach each torch, a voice clip from each person reflecting on their experience was played. From this we learned that Tyson didn't learn a thing and is still a complete jackass and that the three of them are completely gullible because they still thought that Coach had been honest the entire game.

How ironic was it that Sierra, thought of as a half-wit, was the person to call Coach out on his dishonesty?

At the next immunity challenge, the players had to place a ball into a metal chute and it would spiral around to come out one of two chutes back at the bottom. After a few minutes, they would have to add another ball. To make it more difficult, the balls would alternate coming out the left and right chutes, making the players have to remember which chute was next. And even worse, the players would have one hand tied behind their backs.

Do I really need to say who won? Ok ... surprise, surprise ... JT won again.

After much effort to add drama to the show, JT voted Erinn out of the game. Did anyone really think that JT would vote out Stephen? If you did, you're an idiot. The best part about Tribal? The look Taj gave the boys - and that hand gesture - was priceless.

That brings us to the final Tribal Council. There were a few highlights ... Coach continued his warrior-samurai BS ... Sierra called JT out for talking about 'bringing the strongest player to the finals' when he in fact brought the weakest with him since he voted out Taj ... and Stephen followed up his statement about 'not having said anything negative about JT' with his attempt to throw JT under the bus to make himself look like the good guy.

Did he really think that anyone would buy it? It's not like JT denied having done the deeds he had done ... only Stephen did. Of course, that led to the marital squabble between JT and Stephen. Anyone else think they fought like a divorcing couple?

In the end ... JT won unanimously. It was only the 2nd time in 18 seasons of Survivor that someone slammed the runner-up like that.

As for the rest of the reunion hour, there wasn't much to really recap. JT won the fan vote .. no surprise there - except that Sierra was in the top 3 with JT and Taj. Tyson had grown a 1970's porn star moustache (or was that dirt on his lip?).

Then there was Coach.

Jeff had asked him to take a lie detector test. Coach didn't want to do that because he thought Jeff or the producers would mess with the results. So he had it done in Hollywood. It said he was telling the truth. Here's the thing - if the person taking the test really believes the lie to be the truth ... it would be a false positive. Either that ... or he paid someone to fake the results. Oh ... and it was odd that he had members of his 'coaching staff' there with him ... considering he was fired from his job.

Well folks .. the season come to an end. See y'all in the fall when Survivor travels to Samoa.

I just want to let y'all know I won't be posting over the weekend. I will be going to the in-laws house where I cannot access my Internet. I will, however, have cable for the weekend. Woohoo!

I will be posting my Survivor recap for Sunday either Sunday night or on Monday, depending on when we come back home.

See y'all after the weekend!

While this hasn't been a great week for my favorite reality competitors (Annie, Margie, Luke & Allison of ANTM), it finished nicely with Danny going home (finally) on Idol and tonight's episode of Survivor being my favorite of the season.

This week started with the survivors coming back from booting Debbie at that night's tribal council and right away, they started telling Coach about how they saved him. They told him all about Debbie's plan to turn on him and explained to him that they didn't think he would believe them if they told him before tribal. In fact, Coach hadn't realized that Debbie was the lone vote against him - he figured it was Erinn!

So Coach still thinks that he is in the strongest alliance. We know better.

Of course, Coach is still spewing his "warrior alliance" garbage all over the place. I still think he hasn't yet realized that the only person in that alliance is a douchebag named Ben Wade. Oh, Ben Wade is 'Coach'. Click his name for an earlier post I did about Captain Douchebag.

One of the funniest moments of the season took place right before the reward challenge. Coach and JT are talking at camp and Coach, as usual, is trying to pull more reassurance out of JT that he is not going anywhere. They start talking about who will be going to Exile and although Coach is 'ok' with going, maybe it would be a good idea for Taj or Erinn to go back Exile.

Then he starts whining about his asthma and his back hurting. Funny, this is the first we've heard about that. Basically he is just putting that information out there in hopes that if JT wins the reward, he won't send Coach to Exile. So far, Coach is the only one other than JT who hadn't gone to Exile so obviously they would send him. Plus, having him be weaker for the Immunity challenge is a nice bonus.

For the reward challenge, the players had to navigate their way through a maze (in the shape of SURVIVOR) while having shackles attached to their ankles. Once they make their way through, they have to build a pole from sticks of wood and string. Then, they use the poles to get a hanging sandbag which they will then use to knock down three targets to raise their flag.

Naturally, JT is headed off first ... with Coach right behind him. In fact, Coach stuck to JT like Tyra Banks on a cupcake. That really didn't matter since it took JT very little time to put together his pole and get his sandbag. He had all three targets knocked down before Coach even had his pole put together. JT won an overnight stay with a feast, shower and a bed to sleep in. Of course, he took Stephan with him.

Before choosing a companion, it was up to JT to choose someone for Exile. He asked for volunteers but seeing none, he ask Coach to do the 'noble thing'. Then led Coach to go off on a monologue about how he was going to not make fire, not eat, not sleep nor drink water. Of course, Erinn called him out about his "martyr" plan. She felt that he was trying to diminish the hard experiences others have had at Exile. Fortunately, her mouth wouldn't get her in terrible trouble ... yet.

Yes, JT and Stephan had some fun in the shower. You can draw your own image about what might have happened, I won't stop you.

Of course, Coach took the opportunity of his own cameraman to ramble on and on and on and on about how he was going to get 'so much' spiritually on his 'fast' in Exile. Probably not the smartest idea for him to not eat, sleep, drink or build a fire. Hey, he is his own worst enemy and if he wants to get himself eliminated faster, all the better. When he arrived at the Immunity challenge, he looked as haggard as a two-dollar-hooker coming off a 12-hour shift.

He was so proud of his ability to not eat or drink ... and celebrated by asking Stephan for water.

In the Immunity challenge, the players had to stand barefoot on wooden pegs in a wood frame without using their back or rear end to lean on the frame. Every 15 minutes, they would step down onto slightly smaller pegs. Once they reached the smallest set of pegs, the challenge would continue until one one person was left standing. Ironically, it came down to JT and Coach. Despite all his talk about back pain, Coach was able to stand on the pegs for about an hour before he dropped, giving JT the win.

Then Coach collapsed. He went on about how his back was spasming during the challenge. I know what back spasms feel like. He would NOT have been able to keep standing on those pegs while having spasms. To top it all off, he refused to let medical take a look at his injury.

Could it be that he was acting the entire time and the medical staff would have figured it out in no time? Taj and Erinn sure thought so.

Tribal Council was pretty short this week. Jeff really only asked questions to two people : Erinn and Coach. He asked Erinn about her calling out Coach. He also asked Coach about that and about his asinine attempt to martyr himself at Exile. Naturally, Coach began pulling quotes out his ass. Oh, and then something happened that only Coach would do.

He stopped Jeff right before he started the voting. To recite a poem that he wrote for everyone. Great shots of the jury falling asleep and most trying not to laugh at Coach's ridiculous actions.

The vote was interesting. 3-2 in favor of keeping Erinn. JT voted for Erinn only because he felt like he promised Coach he wouldn't vote him out. Well, it's really because if it was down to JT and Stephan in the final two, he wants Coach's vote. On his way out, Coach said that Stephan turned on him. If it is JT and Stephan, JT would have little trouble winning.

Will be interesting to see what happens during Sunday's finale. Somehow, I don't think JT & Stephan will both make it ... if Stephan wants a shot at winning anyway.
