Sam Lenarz's audition gave me my first set of head-to-toe goosebumps this season. Her heartbreaking backstory and her song choice were just the perfect combination to elicit a hair-raising reaction to her performance.
Among those heading off to Vegas are Spencer Horsman, "the world's youngest escape artist" who enlisted the aid of Nick Cannon to tie him up tight in a straight jacket before he dangled between a gnarly looking contraption that I've decided to call The Jaws of Death.
I have to give it to Emily for being straightforward and honest with "her boys." If the bachelors don't prove that they can fit into her life as a future husband and father, she has no problem escorting them to the door.
Though it's impressive that a mainstream television show centered on queer women has seen such success, the show's distorted depiction of lesbian culture is something to mourn, not celebrate. Young queers deserve positive, nuanced examples of lesbians in mainstream media.
Here's the other thing: Miss Piggy is so much more charismatic than Emily. It was almost unfair they had to share screen time. There was a running gag of Piggy getting jealous of Em and Kermit. And despite Kermit's best efforts to compliment Emily, it was clear he's way out of her league.
The story of a fishmonger in Naples obsessed with the possibility of being on a Big Brother, Reality is about how easy it is for a human to become consumed by artificial dreams to the point of mental illness.
In terms of technical ability, Jessica can wipe the floor with Phillip. But as Jennifer pointed out, it's impossible to compare the two when their styles are so different; at this point, it will all come down to personal taste.
In the words of contestant Doug, "The Bachelorette" just got real this week. In addition to the continued development of male egos, the week two also brought us two one-on-one dates, a group date and The Muppets.
Not even the Muppets could help this train. How can you screw up anything that has to do with the Muppets? But Chris Harrison subbing in for Statler to heckle with Waldorf was a moment of genius.
The battle for eternal Mirror Ball glory on "Dancing With the Stars" has never been this evenly matched heading in to the finals, but after tonight's performances, I know who I'm placing my bets on.
In my mind, there were two deserving competitors and two marketable competitors in the Top 3, and those pairs didn't necessarily contain the same finalists. I'll leave it to you to decide which of the three fit each category.
There are three days of shows from designers all over the world and all are live-streamed on the Future Fashion Now website. Viewers online can click on the clothes and make their purchases -- right there and then.
I gave up on being invested in the outcome of an Idol season the year that the phenomenally talented Adam Lambert lost to the pretty-but-bland Kris Allen, so I honestly have no horse in this race. But if I had to bet, I'd bet on Phillip Phillips.
I have learned a lot about myself and have come to terms with my innermost conflicts regarding my sexuality. Initially I did not want to reveal my sexual orientation on the show, because there were many people back home in South Africa who had yet to find out.
The time has come again to watch 25 men with questionable sanity vie for the affections of one woman with questionable desirability.
Sometimes you just need to get away for a while and allow yourself to try something new. Marriage evolves and it's up to us to make the choices to help it move in a positive direction.
