These guys confused me from the start.
Tonight was the "Final Performance show" where all 8 comedians would perform "for your vote," though only five of them would advance to the finals, where they would... compete for our vote?
I'm so lost. Ok, so last week, America voted and eliminated three out of the eight. I get that. Tonight, all eight performed and five were left. And, numbers were given. We were told we'd be voting for the Last Comic Standing.
After voting for Iliza, I get this message:
Thank you for voting! Remember that you can vote up to TEN times for your favorite! Make sure to tune into Last Comic Standing next Thursday to see if your favorite comics advance.
Advance? I thought tonight's performance was the last performance and that I'd be voting for the winner. From eight to five to one seems a little drastic. So, I don't know what the hell is going on. Anyway, on to the show.
The problem with elimination results shows is predictability. They announced that Marcus won the challenge last week and would be one of the top five. The first performer was Ron G, who was eliminated. The second performer is not going to be, obviously. That performer was Jim Tavare. I was a bit surprised, because I don't think he's funny. Especially tonight. I mean, he's better than Ron G, but that isn't saying much. Next up was Louis Ramey. This is basically the only spot that could have gone either way. I'm not even talking performances, just the order. Louis was "safe."
Now, what have we got? Three in the top five. Three to go, and two spots left. Now, there is zero percent chance that the next performer will be eliminated, because two comedians left with two open spots would not be dramatic at all. So, Jeff Dye performed, probably without any feelings of pressure whatsoever. Which left two: Iliza, who dominated both of her showdowns, and Sean, who I don't believe even got many votes to be sent to a showdown.
This stunk for me, because I wanted one of the two to win, and obviously there was only one spot left. I pretty much knew Iliza would get in, which is fine. I honestly liked Sean's aggresive insulting humor more as a personality trait than a written comedy set. Didn't work as well on stage.
So, next week, there will be five. Will they perform? I still don't know. Next week IS the season finale, but like American Idol, they have to fill at least a half hour with something. all the other shows have been two hours, at least. Clip show, perhaps?
I'm predicting Iliza, simply because we've seen more of her. I didn't love her set tonight, but I think familiarity is going to help her out. Jeff Dye is my runner up, with Louis being the long shot dark horse. Jim has no chance. Marcus is good, and I guess he could win, but I just think you need more than doing impressions to be considered a real comic.
Bill Bellamy needs to join the Shawn Wayans School of Not Being Funny Anymore.

Thursday... Last Comic Standing
So, Iliza Shlesinger won again. Handily. I was shocked that Papa CJ started with jokes I hadn't heard, but he pulled out the "sucking your wife's tits" for the 3rd or 4th straight week... I'm glad he's gone. Paul Foot was just awkward, and it took him about 90 seconds to deliver one average joke to begin his set. He sucked during the prop comedy challenge, too.
I don't remember how much I liked Sean Cullen during the auditions, but he's pretty funny. I like Jeff Dye too, I remember liking him from the beginning. I think once Ron G goes home, it'll be more fun to watch. The guy just pisses me off.

Thursday... Smallville... Ep. 7-13
Pete Ross! Hey, you're back, that's cool. How long's it been, three years? Well, we're just gonna act like it's three weeks and just say hey. No big deal. What's that, you have powers now? Oh, look at that. Good thing we live in a fantasy world where nobody but DC characters exist, because your "powers" look amazingly like Mr. Fantastic's. Oddly enough, we will however make a reference to Inspector Gadget, since he's imaginary. So, you wanna tell everyone about your powers and be a hero? But Pete, you're in Smallville again. You know what that means - danger. More specifically, you're going to be in danger by episode's end.
They usually reserve guest appearances by old cast members for very special episodes, where at least something big happens. The B story here was Kara deciding who she trusts more, "Clana" or Lex. She chooses Lex, because she's a moron. But he might not be back as a series regular next season, anyway. The C story: Jimmy Olsen decides to stop taking advantage of Kara's memory loss, and go after Chloe again.

Thursday... American Idol... The Top 12 Revealed
This.... is American Idol.
To recap, my picks to leave were Sundance, Phil, Antonella and Haley. Even though I hope I'm wrong and Sanjaya leaves.
Group song. Man, this season is so boring! Hopefully Carrie Underwood can save it tonight.
I wonder how comfortable those upside down salon hair bowl seats are.
With as many viewers as they have, do they really need these recaps? I know they have to stretch the show to fill an hour, but come on.
Girls and guys together? Hmm. Let's go.
Lakisha and Blake are first, and they're obviously going to be in the top 12.
Chris Sligh is not.... going to find out until after the break. Oh geez.
I think Ryan feels like Howie stole his thunder with the whole commercial cliffhanger thing, he's bringing it back.
Bones is new next week? American Idol moves to 9:00. Woah!
And now, Chris Sligh can finally sit down.
Jordin "Zap" Sparks is young and safe. The youngest ones always seem to last.
Phil needs to go. Damn, he's safe. But maybe there's hope for Sanajaya leaving now.
Jared could be gone though. I didn't think to pick him, but he hasn't been that great.
I know one girl who is happy to see him go! I don't think he sounds as bad as some of them, though. His song is kind of ironic.
Slippin! 0 for 1 tonight, 5 for 9 so far, I think. I'll have to go back and check. After tonight I'll be making a post and picking the Top 12 and how they will go home in order. Idol's website had a game like that last year. I'll try to find and post my picks.
Melinda and Brandon are both safe.
Gina Glocksen! and Chris Richardson should both be safe. Yup.
Aw, here comes Carrie. I can't describe in words how upset I would have been if Bob Ice beat her. Yeah, I call him Bob Ice. I want to find that picture of her with the Grammys. It was adorable. It's gotta be a little surreal for her, and the others that come back. She was just one of however many people trying to win that year, and she comes back being one of the biggest names in her genre. That's a pretty big leap.
Antonella, Haley and Sundance are all still vulnerable. Sanjaya is over there too, as is Stephanie and Sabrina Sloan. Wow, that's a lot of S.
Antonella and Stephanie. I can't see them both going home. Antonella is out, about three weeks too late for some. I don't think she is surprised. Maybe she'll compare herself to Jennifer Hudson again!
Haley and Sabrina up. I don't think they'd send two home back to back, so they should both be safe. Or, maybe not. Haley is safe! I'm about to throw something. Gina better win this whole damn thing now. I've never had a favorite leave this early.
So, two I picked to leave are already safe. One left, and the other is Sundance. And just to mess with my picks more, I bet Sanjaya will finally leave. Those are the only two left. I'd rather have Sundance stay one more week, but I want my percentage to go up!
Let's see what this announcement is. Oh, 200 episodes. And they're going to end poverty? Hey, that kid is better than Sanjaya! So, they're going to donate money for every vote cast on a certain Tuesday (I missed the date) and then people can donate themselves on Wednesday. BORAT is going to be on! That's funny. I assume he'll be in character then. Which seems a little weird when they're trying to make people aware of how bad things really are. If you've seen Borat, you weren't treated to a history lesson.
'Til Death is still on the air? Wow.
Sanjaya is still on this show? Wow.
VTFW even told people to vote for Sundance. Ok, I didn't like his performance, but Sanjaya hasn't even been average yet! This is an INSANE top 12. I can't believe one of these people is going to sell millions of records (because people WILL buy whoever the heck wins, regardless.)
2 for 4 tonight. 3 for 4 in Week 1, 2 for 4 in Week 2. Which makes me 7 for 12.

Thursday... American Idol... Results Show II
Birthdays, dedications, puppies and porn. Interesting week of Idol. Let's get to it.
(Unfortunately, while taping the show I did see one of the girls who gets eliminated. I'll just pretend I didn't and act surprised.)
Group song! I think they did this same song during Season 1. And it's down to business. Guys are first.
Phil is first, which means he will be safe, and he is.
Chris Sligh is Slafe.
Sundance Head is Sundance Safe.
Blake Lewis is safe.
Jarrod has to come down to the podium! Doesn't look good. But he's safe. Tricky Ryan.
Nick (who I almost picked to go home) is going home. NUTS. 0 for 1 tonight. and 3 for 5 this season.
Wow, Sundance is crying. I guess those guys were tight. Girls' turn.
Stephanie is first. She'll be safe. They need to figure out a better way to do this so it's not so obvious.
Gina Glocksen! Safe!
Sabrina. Come on, Gonzo. Safe. Whew.
Okay, Doolittle. Let's do it. She is comin' back.
Alaina is going home? Wow. First mini-shocker of the season. 0 for 2, 3 for 6
And no, she wasn't the one I saw. I'm not pretending to be surprised here.
What's this playing in the background? It must be a recording... would the backup singers even be there for a results show? aw, Sundance is still crying. He's not going to have a fun year if he makes it far.
Whoops, something fell down and the sound went out. Darn, we missed Paula talking.
Pickler coming up, and trivia. I wonder if it'll be as easy as last weeks. Yep, I think it's pretty obvious. I doubt Taylor won any Grammys and does anyone remember Ruben?
Woah, Kellie has some curls. And some BOOBS. They made her up to look older, I think. She's still very stiff on the stage though. Zzzzzzzzzzz... I wish they would have made her follow the 90 second rule.
More results? Ok. AJ and Sanjaya are both in the front row one of them has to go!
Chris is safe.
Brandon is safe. Jordin is all nervous.
Yup, it comes down to Sanjaya and AJ. It better be Sanjaya. And WTF? I mean, I'm 1 for 2 on the guys but I would have picked Sanjaya to leave over AJ. 1 for 3 on the show, 4 for 7 on the season.
They're gonna show Sundance after every elimination, aren't they?
Well, I already know the last girl going home. (Hint: Sarah Paulson.) but let's go through the motions.
Lakisha and Antonella are quickly safe. the other three stand.
Jordin will be safe, and Antonella is surprisingly also safe. Gina is bawling. Jordin starts crying too as Leslie is gone. So.
I guarantee though, if they gave people a chance to vote for only Antonella or Alaina, Antonella would be gone. But the voting is weird sometimes.
Show Sundance!! Gina's still crying, Sabrina looks like she is holding back. D'oh. The tape stopped before Sundance. Jordin couldn't even look up. Aw.
Tonight: 2 for 4.
Season: 5 for 8.

Thursday... American Idol... Season 6, Results Show I
Before it begins, I'd like to re-visit my predictions. I actually don't think that Phil Stacey will be voted out. He did finish well and closed out the show, so I think he may get more votes because of that. I'm allowing myself to change my elimination vote from Phil to Rudy Cardenas.
More to come... LIVE!
Aaaand here comes another way-too-long recap. Haley wasn't great either. I won't be shocked if she goes tonight.
Why would Simon accuse Seacrest of trying to date Alaina if he is so gay?
Group song! Tears For Fears - The Seeds of Love
More to come...
The votes are in! But we have another 45 minutes or so to sit through.
Chris loves Simon. Paula almost vomits in disgust.
And here we go...
Oh yeah, I forgot the eliminated get to sing again. What if all reality shows did this? "Mike, you've been voted off Survivor Island. Before you go, please complete all your challenges again. We'll wait."
Here come the girls in the back row...
Ooh, Amy comes up alone and goes home. I am possibly now 2 for 2. But I doubt they'd call Antonella back out there, so I'm probably 2 for 3.
Did she just ask the band if she should start now, or am I hearing things?
More to come...
Paul and Amy are gone, so I'm calling myself 2 for 2 right now, since there is the slight possibility Antonella was only safe from the first elimination.
Wow, the easiest trivia in history. I'll go enter for free online. BRB.
Fantasia is performing. Jebus her mouth is HUGE. Don't swallow the microphone, Fanny! My eyes and ears hurt. I think I'll go do something else.
More to come...
More girls...
You know, I almost picked her, but I think she is very similar looks-wise to Amy and I didn't expect them both to go home. Plus, I thought she was better than at least four girls. So I went with Antonella. Hey, if you consider Leslie a redhead, we're now out of blonde girls! That was quick. Wow, I wrote that whole paragraph mistakingly thinking Alaina left.
Aw, who is going to watch the series finale of the OC? Me neither.
Time is tight, Ryan Let's go!
I love when Paula gets all lovey, saying Rudy has one of the best vocals and Simon is just like "No." Obviously he's right lady, he is leaving. She wants to go give rudy some huggles and kissies.
Is this a Daughtry song in the background? Let's all cheer for no more "Bad Day"!
In summary -
My picks: Paul, Amy, Rudy, Antonella
Who left?: Paul, Amy, Rudy, Nicole.
More to come... LIVE!
- Randy - "It's a girl's race to lose."
- Paula looks "not drunk" again.
- Simon agrees, the guys didn't stand out.
- Bunch of guest judges or performers this year, including J-Lo, G-Stef and T-Ben.
Aaaand here comes another way-too-long recap. Haley wasn't great either. I won't be shocked if she goes tonight.
Why would Simon accuse Seacrest of trying to date Alaina if he is so gay?
Group song! Tears For Fears - The Seeds of Love
- Fix your hat, Phil. Doolittle looks like she just threw some clothes on after rolling out of bed.
- Not bad overall. I'd download that version.
More to come...
The votes are in! But we have another 45 minutes or so to sit through.
Chris loves Simon. Paula almost vomits in disgust.
And here we go...
- Brandon (one of my top guys) is safe.
- Sundance is safe.
- Chris Richardson is safe (ugh).
- Vote for (Nick) Pedro is safe.
- Blake (my #1 guy) is safe.
- Paul Kim is out. I am 1 for 1.
Oh yeah, I forgot the eliminated get to sing again. What if all reality shows did this? "Mike, you've been voted off Survivor Island. Before you go, please complete all your challenges again. We'll wait."
Here come the girls in the back row...
- Jordin Sparks is safe.
- Stephanie (my #2) is safe.
- Sabrina (my #1) is "the one to beat" and safe.
- Leslie Hunt is safe.
- Doolittle is safe.
- Antonella (who I picked to leave) is safe. I'm 1 for 2.
Ooh, Amy comes up alone and goes home. I am possibly now 2 for 2. But I doubt they'd call Antonella back out there, so I'm probably 2 for 3.
Did she just ask the band if she should start now, or am I hearing things?

More girls...
- Someone was safe and I didn't hear who. Haley, I think. Yeah, her.
- Lakisha is safe. (duh)
- Gina Glocksen is safe. Simon almost looked nervous with his face in his hands. Or maybe he's bored.
- Alaina and Nicole are left, neither of whom got good feedback.
- Alaina is.... safe. Nicole is out, and I'm officially at best 2 for 3.
Aw, who is going to watch the series finale of the OC? Me neither.
Time is tight, Ryan Let's go!
- Chris Sligh is funny, and safe.
- Phil is second, so he won't leave. Good thing I changed my vote. He's safe.
- Jared is safe, and not the Subway guy.
- Simon still looks bored, or sick.
- AJ is safe.
- Sanjaya or Rudy will be leaving. One is in the top 4. Wow. I bet the girls like Sanjaya.
- Rudy is going home! What a good trade-up I did. This makes me 3 for 4 overall on the week.
I love when Paula gets all lovey, saying Rudy has one of the best vocals and Simon is just like "No." Obviously he's right lady, he is leaving. She wants to go give rudy some huggles and kissies.

Thursday... My Name Is Earl... Ep. 2-16... "The Birthday Party"
I think for half-hour sitcoms, I may just write down quotes instead of trying to blog, since a lot of times there isn't a linear story to follow.
Randy: It's an ice cream cake. That's your favorite kind of cake because it's got ice cream in the middle. Just like your favorite kind of truck does. You know, an ice cream truck.
Earl (Narration): A few years ago I was into some show where guys acted like jackasses. I think it was called "Dumbass."
Earl: Hey, Nescobar A-loplop, how's the English comin'?
Nescobar: I speak better than you, bitch!
Earl (interrupting Crabman): Yeah, yeah. I know, I've done some bad things, I'm aware of that. I've written them down. But I've done some good things too - I raised your son for five years, let's not forget about that!
Donny Jones: I listened to a whole Phish album! And it sucked!
Neighbor: He saw Jill doin' it with Doug, He saw Karen doin' it with clamps on her nubbies.
Karen: Hey!
Neighbor: It's ok, he saw me doin' it with clamps on my nubbies too! Thanks for lettin me borrow your nubbie clamps.
Joy (yelling out the window): We're gonna do stuff from the Kama Sutra, where i sit cross-legged and wiggle while you hold it for two hours like Sting does!
Joy (yelling out the window): It's time for spankings! But not for our kids, we're good parents. We use timeouts. It's time for momma spanking, cause I've been a bad girl!
Earl: How many G's in pregnant?
Joy: What do I look like, a professor of spellin'? Just put it on there, and do it soon.
Earl: You got great boobs, Peggy.
Deedee: My name's Deedee.
Earl: You got great boobs, Deedee.
Deedee (sincerely): Your momma sure raised a sweet talker.
[Earl finds Deedee's wooden leg in the bed]
Earl (jumping up frantically): Oh my God, oh my god!
Deedee (offscreen): You want me to whip up some eggs?
Earl (shouting): Shut up, I'm thinking! I mean, sure.
Deedee (offscreen): Earl, can you come in here and give me a hand?
Earl (to himself): A hand? there's a hand?
Randy: We thought tricking you would be funny. Like when you tied that rope to my foot? But instead of rope, it was mean words about things you've done that made you wanna hate yourself!
Crabman: Hey Earl, can I give you your cake now? The wind from the bullet hole in the wall keeps blowing out the candle.
Randy: It's an ice cream cake. That's your favorite kind of cake because it's got ice cream in the middle. Just like your favorite kind of truck does. You know, an ice cream truck.
Earl (Narration): A few years ago I was into some show where guys acted like jackasses. I think it was called "Dumbass."

Thursday... Smallville... Ep. 6-16... "Freak"
Bare with me, I'm blogging this as I watch it, instead of trying to remember details.
How big is Smallville exactly? I thought it was just farm land, but now they even have a bowling alley. I'm actually surprised it's not in the Luthor mansion. I guess it can't be though, as some new dude with the ability to see meteor affected people shows up. He spots one and gets picked up by some thugs. Which of course will lead Chloe to call for Clark.
Hmm, he doesn't remember anything. And Lex is behind the mission to seek out the meteor "freaks." Some guy, whose wife was murdered, seems to care about this blind meteor-seer.
Clark and Chloe visit him, his sunglasses fall off and it doesn't show what he sees, but he looks shocked. And by the trailer we know that Chloe gets abducted. He uses superhearing to find out that he "found another one." Clark and Chloe were so close to him that he may have only saw one blur, and assumed it was Chloe. I guess I'll find out soon.
Lana seems very interested to find out more about Tobias (the blind kid). I wonder if she knows something about the blind kid that Lex is trying "to help," but obviously Chloe would be filling her in on details Lex would not. She's also hinting that she knows some meteor infectees could be helping people. Maybe she's finally zoned in on Clark.
Hahaha Clark took the good doctor's computer from right under his nose using super speed and stands there like "what? me?" Excellent.
So, I was right and Chloe was mistakenly identified. I was kinda hoping that she was infected in some way. But wouldn't the Dr. have assumed it was Clark? I mean, Clark acted dumb about the computer being taken, but Dr. Bethany (?) knows people have abilities and could easily assume that Clark used his to take the computer. So, maybe he IS just trying to lure Clark in, while Tobias thinks she is infected.
Woohoo, naked Chloe! Damn, I'm surprised they got the giant needle into her belly before Clark found her. DNA extraction, sounds fun.
I'm shocked at how direct Lana is being with Lex. Of course he plays smug and dumb, but I thought Lana would have tip-toes around it a little. I guess she's getting to the point where if something is going on, she needs to know now before the wedding/baby.
Chloe is back, safe and somewhat sound. She experienced the same type of memory loss that the Asian kid did, but she has to remember something because she said "Why would they take me?" Perhaps she was infected, they took it from her, and we'll never know... (Man, this is unraveling like Heroes. Let's take all the powers! Lex = 33.1 = Sylar!)
Oooh. Dr. Bethany tells Lex his laptop was stolen and there might be a mention of Luthercorp in there. This makes Lex very angry! He wants Tobias brought to him unharmed, but Lana gets to him first.
WOAH! So Lana DOES suspect, nay, KNOW Clark is infected. Or heavily assumes it, thinking Tobias will just crack and tell her everything if she pretends to already know. But he says Clark is "the most normal guy" he's ever met. Lana seems shocked. "Wrong? Me? Never!" I'm starting to think Lana isn't planning to even marry Lex, and is trying to find out everything she can from him. But she seemed pretty happy at the bowling alley "bachelorette party," so I can't be sure.
Maybe Chloe was infected by something that helps her crack all this computer stuff, because they're in. It's a map of Smallville! (thanks Clark.) and they're tracking and killing meteor freaks. I wish Chloe would stop using that word. She knows better than anyone that some of them are nice. DAYUMN! Chloe tells Clark to X-ray her, then BURN her! I don't get why he doesn't like, numb her with the cold breath first. Although I guess that could cause frostbite or something. And actually, he may not have figured that one out yet. I can't recall. Jimmy Olsen gets rather upset that Clark used a "pocketknife" to get the tracker out. Heh Heh.
Lana appears to have talked Tobias into going with her somewhere safe. The Dr. comes in and is all like, we're gonna get you your eyes! So Toby turns off the power and grabs a gun. Chaos ensues, Toby shoots Dr once, Dr. tackles Toby, Clark shows up just as Lana is shooting Dr. and Dr. is shooting Toby. Clark deflects both shots, then Lana finds the bullet hole, and the bullet with a big imprint in it.
Wow. Insane ending. Toby tells Clark Lana thinks he is infected. Lana confronts Clark and he says he's not infected. (Lana is very ballsy tonight!) And she's still skeptical. Lana says that if Clark WAS infected, it wouldn't matter. Don't know why Clark wouldn't just tell come clean then. Probably to protect her. She's also very hesitant to believe anything Lex says. He swears on the soul of his unborn child that he wasn't involved with Dr. in any plot to kill anyone. So, maybe this mystery baby has no soul? Oooh, vampire?!
So, Chloe IS infected. It makes sense now. Clark isn't infected by Kryptonite, it hurts him. He's the only one from Krypton itself, so Tobias really didn't suspect him at all. She's scared poopless. She probably has to die eventually. Lex tells someone off-screen to keep an eye on Chloe. Then he looks into the camera. Oooooh.

Thursday... Scrubs... Ep. 6-8 "My Road to Nowhere"
After watching the episode, I guess I should have predicted the twist involving JD's baby. When Kim told him she had a miscarriage, it seemed really nonchalant. Plus, it wasn't even an act break. It was more like "oh by the way JD isn't having a baby anymore." I don't know why JD's reaction wasn't bigger either, considering he didn't know she was lying. It just seems like something that should affect him more, but I doubt it's going to be brought up a lot in the future. I've heard people say that JD having a kid would ruin the show, but Turk has one. They've done everything else together, why not have them both be new fathers?
I wonder what Kim's reason for breaking up with JD was. Maybe she did in fact get the permanent position but felt like they couldn't make a long-distance relationship work, let alone with a baby.
I almost expected something to go wrong with Jordan and Cox's baby too. They've done episodes like that, like the one where the three patients all died. Turk saying she is strong gave me the impression that they wouldn't do that though.
I like when Dr. Cox shows heart. I guess because it happens so sporadically, it makes it more real? I don't know. Aside from the whole "Wrong/Dorian" thing, a lot of this episode was him showing love and trust to other people. And then he got punched in the nuts. By his own kid! Nice. "Man Check!" I should use that one. I like the subtitles they use for the kid. My favorite was "I pooped in my bed so I put it on the TV!"
I'm not sure I understood the Janitor thing. Part of me is hoping his little amnesia spell is real and he befriends JD for awhile. He said hello to Elliot but didn't call her "Blonde doctor" or anything. But I doubt that'll come up again.
I don't know if there has ever been a bad Kelso/Ted scene. Those two are so good with each other.
Turk: (To Dr. Cox) ...and you just gave my baby to Rochelle, the only nurse to get kicked out of the nursery for using a baby as a ventriloquist's dummy.

Thursday... My Name Is Earl... Ep. 2-16... "Blow"
MNIE went a little more good-feely than comedic in this one, although it's always funny so it's okay. Joy has a half-sister from her dad's infidelity and it turns out to be her "sworn nemesis." Which is kind of funny because we've never seen her on the show before. The casting was great; Joy as a kid and Joy as a pre-teen (?) were played perfectly. I think Jaime herself played younger versions of Joy usually. I'd have to check.
So by the end of this one, Joy makes up with her half-sister and is pregnant with her and Ray-Ray's kid. Ray-Ray-Ray. She thinks being impregnated will help her not be incarcerated, and not being pregnant allows Liberty to continue wrestling. Earl never does cross the item off his list visually (stole a girl's identity), although he says he will.
I love how consistent everything is on this show. Joy says "my deaf lawyer" every single time, as if people forget she's deaf or that she has multiple lawyers, and the deaf part is used to differentiate. This type or writing is usually annoying because it's so repetitive, but they make it work. The episode works in Joy's fighting ability again, even though she gets her butt kicked. Also, Randy asks what half of a sister Liberty is, top or bottom. While I didn't like this joke at first, I remember when he asked Earl what half of Catalina would be naked, the front or back. I pictured Earl explaining to him about top and bottom, and this is where he tries to use that knowledge.
There was also another reference to Joy's prom date stabbing her.
Liberty's kinda hot, eh? DJ Qualls was pretty good as her boyfriend, and I know it was supposed to mirror Joy and Darnell. But I dunno, I wasn't thrilled with that part.
I was surprised at how little reaction Joy got when she flashed Randy. But "at the bottom of that fuzzy lightning bolt" was great, both for how Randy described it and the idea that Joy "decorates" herself. And the smile Randy gets on his face after being hit in the head with a chair is funny.
Randy: (yelling at Liberty) You, go to the back of the bus.
(crowd boos)
Earl: (voiceover) Randy, may have had the perfect head for wrestling, but his heart was a little too soft, and he just couldn't take the booing.
Randy: I'm not really the man. I'm Randy and I'm nice. I like black people, I love Oprah especially when she acts black.

Thursday... Smallville... Ep. 6-15... "Trespass"
So, we got a little bit further in the whole "Clark and Lana, AGAIN?" plotline. She's a little sneak, that one. Martha thinks she feels safe there. Clark and Chloe think she's doing some digging into his secret. Lex thinks she prefers Clark's protection over his (even though Lex was MIA). Lana now seems to know Clark would still be there for her, she obviously has some trust issues with Lex (and vice-versa), so the upcoming wedding may be interesting.
I don't know who does the score, but they went a little B Horror Movie for this episode. I guess the plot was deserving of it, what with the "gift" and the note left for her. The whole stalking, snap-shooting paparazzi thing was more funny than scary, but at least that turned out to be a ruse for the .... well, the stalking, snap-shooting security guard. (/spoiler) Much better!
Chloe and Jimmy are back together for now. Which either means he becomes a third wheel or a third teammate. Depends on how much "Jimmy! um, nothing!" Clark and Chloe give him when they spend so much time together. Unless Chloe dies of course. And if she does, it better be real this time. I don't want her dead but you can only fake-kill someone on a TV show a few times before it becomes "we got nothin' else to do!"
Speaking of Jimmy, he referred to Clark as "impossibly gigantic," which was probably the best line of the episode.
I really want to know what the deal is with this baby. I've read spoilers that she has a miscarriage, or at least she tells Clark she did. Wouldn't it be interesting if she lies about it like Kim did on Scrubs!?
Lex: Looks like you’re working out some issues there.
Clark: Just doing a little honest work, Lex. You should try it some time.
Lex: Why start now? My life’s perfect.
