I'm not that sad that Marlee was voted off. I like her, but she'd peaked dancing-wise. What I can't get over, though, is her body! She's 42 and has had four kids, and she looks amazing. Unbelievable.

I also can't get over Edyta's rehearsal outfits. They just never make sense. Her dancing costumes are usually a little better (relative to dancing costumes in general), but El Chico did say, "That outfit is pretty wacky!" while she and Jason were dancing on Monday.

The showmance between Shannon Elizabeth and Derek Hough is making me laugh with glee. It can't last (she's 12 years older than he is and divorced, and he's LDS and a kid), but it's fun to watch.

I like watching Mario dance, but what I really like about him is that he's just so polite, and so kind. A gratefulness and gracefulness that's not that common with kids his age.

I kind of miss Priscilla and her crazy lips.

DWTS

So I'm really sad to see The Goot go. I thought he was just so! enthusiastic! that other people would be as charmed by him as I was. But maybe the viewers are just getting hardcore and only want to see the good dancers.

I hope that Mario uses this week as a lesson to get serious about this, because I still think he moves really well and could get great at ballroom. And he just seems like such a kind, gentlemanly kid.

The judges were dead on about Kristi, who is technically amazing but hasn't connected emotionally yet. I wonder if she's going to have a Jennie Garth moment when she just clicks in emotionally.

Jason Taylor! Who would have guessed? I think he's the one to beat.

El Chico was watching with me and looked at Marissa "Jaret Winokur and said, "That woman is really short, and has a lot of energy. Yes, and yes.

I think Priscilla Presley herself might not be all that freaky. She seems kind of coy and older-lady-ish, but I'm beginning to think it's just the bad plastic surgery that's making her look like such a nutcase and not her actual personality.

Shannon Elizabeth has legs that go from here to there, and she's getting better each week.

Adam annoys me in this format, but his tango made me laugh.

Am I the only one who thinks Anna Trebunskya looks like a raging bitch? Or is she just a shy person?

Cristián is cute, but he's just not compelling enough to me.

Marlee is doing an amazing job, but is also not sucking me in personally.

DWTS

After having seen the first dances, I'm going to make the following prediction: Kristi and Mario will remain the best dancers. Marissa Jaret Winokur will improve, as will Steve Gutenberg and Penn Jilette. Priscilla Presley will get even stranger. The hot Latin guy will fall victim to the fact that no one knows who he is.

I can't even remember who else is dancing.

Lost Talk

Once again, I didn't watch (my class is over, so I should be on regular time by the time episodes start up again). Start without me.

Also, I'll post my Dancing With the Stars picks based on the first dance later this weekend, if anyone wants to play along with that.

Lost Talk

Whoa.

So now we know Sun gets off but Jin doesn't. It had his date of death on his tombstone as September 22, 2004. Would that have been the day Oceanic 815 crashed? Is it even more of the cover story? I think he did die, because Sun's pain seemed about his death more than just about missing him because he was somewhere else.

Why are she and Hurley the only two friends? Hurley was really glad none of the others came to see Ji Yeon.
(As an aside, was that baby animatronic, or did someone actually let the producers use their brand newborn for that shot? And how much do they not know about how people actually have babies?)

I'm so sad. I love Jin.

Does it seem like the producers are just playing with us this year, doing the most obvious thing? We've known for weeks Michael was on the boat.

(Did Michael and Desmond ever meet before Michael left?)

Lost Talk

I was all hot to watch it after the big Desmond time travel thing last week, but fell asleep at 8:20 and woke up in the morning. WIll watch this weekend, so start without me.

Lost Talk

Haven't watched it yet. You guys start without me.

Lost Talk

This week's episode written by Carrie Bradshaw: "And just like that, Kate got off on probation! 'I wonder,' she thought, 'do arsonists always have more fun?'"

They answered a question.

They answered a question!

We now know that the "him" Kate had to get back to was her son.

How much did you love the way they set up the entire episode so you thought that Kate really was pregnant by Sawyer, or maybe she wasn't but was going to get pregnant by Sawyer, or maybe was going to go back to the beach and sleep with Jack and get pregnant. But then---her son is Aaron!

OK, you knew the producers weren't going to kill Aaron.

But why was Aaron with Kate? Did Kate take him to try to save him? Did Claire make Kate take him to try to save him from something?

(I know we don't know the details yet, but this seems like it was written by someone with no close contact with breastfeeding; If Kate was really Aaron's mom, yet she wasn't lactating, how could he have stayed alive on the island? There were no questions about this and the rest of the Oceanic 6's story?)

The cover story Jack w as reciting said there were 8 survivors of the plane crash. But only 6 of them leave the island. Which were the other two who were supposed to have been alive after the crash?

Why, on the island, was Claire not more upset about Charlie? He's only been dead for a day or two.

Where's the helicopter? Did Jimmy Buffet kidnap Sayid and Desmond, or is there something island-related going wrong that he has no control over? When is Naomi going to open her eyes and reveal that she's not really dead?

Where, oh where did they find the guy who plays Miles? He's almost as creepy as Ben is.

How does Jack seem to get progressively more pitiful as the show goes on? And what about Juliette? Does she not make it off the island? She wasn't on the flight, so isn't in the Oceanic 6.

I think I like this show again.

The Return of Lost Talk

It's back, only a few episodes into the new season.

So this Oceanic 6 thing is interesting, and a nice gimmick to get us interested. So far we have:

1. Kate--Looking hot at the airport in a blue shirt, having to get back to "him."How much will it suck if "him" is Ben?
2. Hurley--Back safe in the psych hospital, except for those pesky hallucinations of Charlie telling him he has to go save his friends.
3. Jack--Who looked together when he went to visit Hurley, but at the end of last season was losing it. What's the chronology on that? Was he sick when they first got back, but then got well? Or did he slowly crack up as time wore on? AM I the only one who thought his beard at the end of last season looked like a piece of fun fur from Joann's (I'm assuming you all call Joann Fabrics "Joann's" like my mom and I do).
4. Sayid

So let's talk about Sayid, and tonight's episode:

1. What does a former torturer do once he's no longer forced into military service? Become Jason Bourne, apparently. Although Elsa the German counterspy was a whole lot of Vesper Lynd from the last Bond film. Sayid just can't stop being a badass, can he?

2. "I saw you snap that guy's neck with that breakdancing thing you do with your legs. I think I'll hang back here." I love Hurley so much. I'd totally visit him every day in the tank.

3. Is it just me, or did Frank the pilot escape from every Carl Hiaasen novel ? (Do you read Carl Hiaasen books? You should--they're funny books about south Florida.)

4. Jack has become less tiresome and therefore even more boring.

5. Is Locke crazy, or crazy like a fox? The debate continues.

6. Sawyer wants to stay on the island. Why is this just too convenient? I'm betting on him for one of the last two spots.

and now the big questions:

7. Why the ham is Sayid working for Ben? Has he lost his mind?

8. Who are the people Sayid is killing? What did they do to his friends? Who are his friends? The people left on the island? Are they still there on the island? Huh?

9. Who is that guy who hired Naomi and tried to move Hurley to a different hospital?

My picks for the remaining two of the Oceanic 6: Sawyer and Sun.

Now you.

Shock on DWTS

I can't believe they voted off Sabrina!

It's so wrong.

She should have been the winner.
