To Discuss a TV Play by Play: Part 2 of Making the Band 4 season finale

Items of business before we get to the drama of Making the Band 4 season finale, part 2...

* If you haven't done so already, check out/leave comments on the video I wrote as well as the co-blog I wrote with Miss Tiff... There are few times when I'm going to outwardly ask for you to look at stuff, but considering the amount of time and effort both took, throw me a bone. There just might be another video coming soon.

* I have no idea what kind of posts I'll be able to do until Monday because I'll be in St. Louis on business. I'm hoping my hotel has Wi-Fi. I also hope it has a hot tub. I will try to collect as many memories as possible so as to share with all of you when I return.

* I haven't done a reminder in a bit, but here goes: I had great fun writing a Question and Answer last month, and it'd be fun to do one every month. But I need questions to make that happen. So send them, about any subject or idea, to wildarschase@yahoo.com, or leave them in the comments section anytime... When I get enough, I'll do a post...
----------------------------------
OK, enough of that serious crap, and on to...

What is going on with Danity Kane?!?!?

It's the exciting conclusion of Making the Band 4, Season Three Season Finale Part 2 (confusing, right?)

:01 Oh, nice. It's a live finale, hosted by Sway, the hip, black MTV dude with the amazing amount of hair. They always put him on the R&B/Rap topics, as if to say, Hey world, we have street cred, and he wears argyle sweaters.
:04 We get a recap of what happened last episode- Aubrey, one of the original members of girl group Danity Kane, is kicked out of the group by Diddy for being disrespectful and being "raunchy and promiscuous." It might also be because she still calls him "Puff," which is so three nicknames ago.
:05 D Woods gets kicked out! It's going down! Although I should have seen this coming. Diddy promised to get "The Troof Up in This Bitch."......... D Into the Woods does not even appear upset.
:06 Aundrea, my fake TV girlfriend, your dress is so low cut and yet somehow not revealing that I'm concerned you may not actually have nipples.
:08 Back in the TRL studio, it's the quietest I've heard it since Lindsay Lohan's music video premiered. The entire audience of teens look genuinely stunned, as am I.
:15 Now back to footage- The remaining girls- Aundrea, Dawn and Shannon- try to figure out what to do next, as Diddy walks in with his amazing ability to have theme music play when he enters.
:19 Diddy tells the girls he's still behind them and wants to stick with them in the future somehow. He tells Shannon and Dawn it's been a pleasure working with them. Then, he says to Aundrea, "You're in the problem child category." That must be Diddy speaking about the aforementioned Troof.
:26 Boy band Day 26 and solo artist Donnie Klang are on stage after the commercial break for a live interview. They are all dressed alike. Remember when Backstreet Boys did that? Yep, it's still weird.
All the guys said they're shocked this is going down, since they didn't know what happened until the footage was played. Luckily, as adult, working professionals, they are able to eloquently state their extreme emotions by mumbling a series of "knowwhadimsayin" and "youknows" and "itscrazyyo." ..... There's No Singer Left Behind in this group (That's an American joke, Aussies.)
:33 Diddy appears via satellite feed, wearing a robe poolside. He might be inebriated, because he's having trouble focusing and keeps staring at the sky like it's raining Biggie Smalls.
Sway: How hard was it to let go of Aubrey, an original member of the group?
Diddy: It really wasn't that hard.
... I really wish Diddy was more upfront.
:42 Commence awkwardness. The three remaining DK members come on stage and are still shell shocked. Fortunately, they will have time to grieve the loss of their dreams and careers by being pummeled with questions on live TV.
:49 Yep, more awkward. Although D Woods had a "scheduling conflict," Aubrey shows up. Her make-up looks much better, but she isn't doing much else to show she's not the ho Diddy says she's become... Oh crap, Aubrey just said she's tired of blogs ripping on her. Uh, love you!
:51 Aubrey said she'd rather be real and hated than be loved for something she's not... if by real she means silicone, fake eyelashes, bottle blond hair, collagen implants and a fake tan, then yeah, let's be real, America. (See previous PxP post for photo comparison)
:57 Aubrey said she's behind Danity Kane no matter what. Sway asks Diddy if there's a chance Aubrey can get back in the band.
Diddy: "Check this out baby girl. Yo-yo-yo-yo att-tude is goin' have you in a dark and lonely place.... You need to humble yo-self."
Sway: "How do you feel about that?"
Aubrey: "I mean, ev..."
Diddy: "Hold on...I want to say, I hope you vote for Obama." (WTH?)
Aubrey: "Me too!"
.... and that's it! That's the end of the show. What have we learned? Diddy's top selling group is now out two members, with no solution offered during its season finale, but we do know who to vote for, as I'm sure the Obama camp is thrilled Diddy is stumping for them. Just thrilled.

Wow....wait a second... Sway just said there's going to be another season of Making the Band. Dude. Nice.

---------------------------
Now that Making the Band is over, if there's another show you want me to Play by Play, let me know....

To discuss some random thoughts and my cancelled proposal

A few quick thoughts, after days of crazy long posts that rivaled War and Peace...

• Danity Kane canceled their York, PA show. Did they not know I hyped them in this blog? And they want to cancel over a scheduling conflict? Maybe they forgot about my proposal to Andrea. Now she's never going to get married. And I have to figure out out to get a refund on that 25 cent crank-turn ring machine. I also decided not to do a play by play of Making the Band this week, just for that reason. ANTM, maybe. Other suggestions are welcome.
  
• Thanks to all the supporters who read about the events of Sunday and still think I'm a sane man. I'll tell Ladyfriend you have thrown your support behind her, at which point I'm sure she'll freak out that random people want her to date a guy she's met once. Combine that with my "double suicide" comment, and it's gold.
  
• If you'd like to keep doing the Q&A thing, leave questions in the comments section or e-mail me at wildarschase@yahoo.com... Whenever I get enough questions and/or make them up and pretend they are from actual readers, I'll do another one.
• Related: In my continued success at being unoriginal, I saw that keepyourreceipt.com, which is par excellence all the time, created a Facebook page for itself to make it easier for people to find it and interact. I've done the same thing, because, for better or worse, a huge chunk of people find me through Facebook (the same Facebook that has asked me if I wanted to meet single gay guys in the city and that makes relationship status changes into social events). So go here if you want to check that out.
• Conversation starter of the day: If you could bring back one show from the 90s, with the same cast, as if it never went off air, what would you bring back? I think that's a tough one. My first inclination is Seinfeld, but wouldn't I enjoy something random, like Clarissa Explains It All, or Home Improvement, or Supermarket Sweep, or ER? Wait, ER is still on? Really? Didn't everyone already die in an ambulance wreck/plane crash/ebola breakout/heartache/lack of good scripts years ago?
  

To discuss Part One: You've Got Questions, We've Got No Freakin' Clue

There are times in life when the stars align and God's cool with you and you can just tell things are going your way. This isn't that.
This is better.
It's the inaugural Question and Answer session, unofficially titled You've Got Questions, We've Got No Freakin' Clue. But it's not just me answering your hot mess questions... I've been admiring Haute Pocket(HP) and her Q&A from afar (using a telescope). So I asked her if she'd co-write one with me, as I find her stuff to be hysterical and full of belly laughs that make me pee a little.
Wouldn't you know it, that crazy lady said yes. So, here you go. The first half is all here; the second half will be posted on her site this afternoon (UPDATE- Here it is, yo. Still working out some formatting issues, but otherwise all good), so we can torment you. It was either that or Chinese water torture. Be grateful... The questions are from actual (re: forced to do so) readers of both sites... Oh, and the language is more adult than usual for this site- even worse than daggummit.

Insane Mama desires to know the following:

Obviously you are voting for Obama. Can you give me one point as to why?

HP: Dude, he's hot, which you must admit will make the State of the Union speech far more entertaining. I would totally do him. Again. That, and I'm relatively sure he is the lesser of two evils (which coincidentally is what WAC is about to say, but I promise I didn't steal that from him, though I can't prove that, so maybe I did.) For me, and I'd imagine many others, it's impossible to find a candidate that satisfies on all levels (How are we feeling about the sexual innuendos? Too much?) Truthfully I'm not overly impressed with either of the candidates, but one of them has to win. I want to do my part to challenge the status quo. (I'm sure that's incredibly shocking.)

WAC: You're right, HP, Obama is a good-looking man. That's why I'm glad McCain grabbed Palin, so I have something to look at, too. I think it's patriotic to want to have relations with a vice president. So, most of the time in politics it's the lesser of two evils and that's kind of the case here. Obama has little experience and McCain is a good ol' boy who likely will follow the path of G.W. I can't shake the feeling that if I didn't vote for Obama, I'd miss out on the first true game-changer up for the presidency in my lifetime. That's not to say he'll do well or not do well, but he's the first legitimate candidate where you can look at him and think, "Here's a guy who really might do things differently." That, and as part of the media, I'm obligated to love Obama. It's in my contract.

Do you think marriage is just a piece of paper, meaning should I push for my boyfriend to get his divorce legalized so we can get married? (They have been in court for over three years.) Or should I leave it alone?

HP: Hold the phone. I thought we were asking questions about me here? I'm joking, it's just that I hardly posses the authority to dole out relationship advice. Different things work for different people and so I think it's important for couples to define marriage and commitment on their own terms. With that said, fuck yes you should get him to finalize that divorce. Uh...at least that's what I would do. Whether you elect to get married is an entirely different matter. I've yet to tie the knot so the idea of marriage to me is still a relatively romantic one. I realize it's not thought of that way for everyone. Ultimately, what it comes down to is whether or not you're happy with your current situation, but your question leads me to believe that it bothers you and that you would prefer he did finalize it. If that's the case then yes, you absolutely should say something.

WAC: Mama Mia... I know someone in a similar situation. She's dating a guy who is in the process of divorcing his wife, except for the fact that it never actually happens. It keeps getting delayed, and I fear that maybe this guy is jerking her around so he can have his cake and screw it too.
Marriage is a piece of paper— the way we think of marriage is a relatively modern concept, especially the wedding ceremony— but, fo' real, you either tell him to get that stuff finalized or get out.

HP: Wow, WAC Man, you really laid down the law there.

WAC: Only because too many girls think the guy is going to leave his current lady, and he never will. Why would he? He's got them both. So you have to force the issue.

HP: I actually agree (and no, you can't get that in writing.) I just want to be sure not to assume our reader's situation with her boyfriend is the same. After all, I like her, and we want her to stick around, don't we?

WAC: Good point. Let's hope for the best, Mama.

What is your favorite perfume for you and cologne for a man?

HP: YES! Finally an easy one! I highly approve of Dolce & Gabana's Light Blue, but my long term staple is Divine from the Victoria's Secret Dream Angels collection. Actually, you can read a cute story about that here, if interested. If you're not interested, could you just pretend to care? Please? My ego is fragile. My favorite male cologne would probably be Armani Mania, though that's entirely cliche. But come on, it's like an orgasm for your nose, it just smells ohsogood. Let's not for one second assume that Boyfriend wears Armani Mania, because he doesn't. He used to...back when we were in college and not poor (i.e.: Living off of student loans.)

WAC: So what do you make him wear now, then? I just wear Axe stuff, because the commercials make it seem like women will drop their clothes and jump on me for wearing it, a fact I'd like to believe will come true.

HP: It won't. Unless you're hot. Are you hot?

WAC: I'm going with nerdy cute. So, no. On women, the best smell is vanilla. I have absolutely been more attracted to a woman, even a woman who is not terribly beautiful, just because she's wearing vanilla. If Haute has on vanilla right now, I will drive to L.A. on. the. spot.

HP: You know, that's interesting because I had an ex-boyfriend that absolutely loved the smell of vanilla and I used to wear it all the time. Unfortunately, he was in prison at the time and I am happy to say that situation did not work out. And by "not work out" I mean a couple of things: He totally cheated on me with his baby mama, in the bathroom of a Taco Bell. (Not exactly a strong point in my life, but cut me some slack. I was like, 17.) Secondly, my parents ended that torrid love affair the second they found out about it, praise Allah. The point through all of this, is that I can no longer stand the scent of vanilla. So WAC, I'm sorry that you don't have an excuse to road-trip across the U.S. of A.

Kimmers

If you could change one thing about yourself, what would it be?

HP: Truth be told, I would just allow myself to be, rather than stressing about every mundane detail about every.single. thing. I over-think everything, plot out an exact plan in my head, and then freak-out internally when it doesn't go as planed. . It's definitely my biggest weakness and something I'm continuously trying to improve. Sometimes I'm really fun, can role with the punches and go with it. Other times I'm a completely over-planning, psychopathic, can't-let-myself-just-enjoy type of asshole. I like the first version of myself much better.

WAC: I'd love to have the ability to finish anything I started... I'll be surprised if I finish this Q&A entry.

HP: Dude. Whatevs. Of course you'll finish this Q&A. You're attention needy. (Don't call my bluff, don't call my bluff, don't call my bluff....)

WAC: Bluff called. I'm not finishing this thing unless you all meet my demands... which are that all the readers enjoy our Q&A and leave a few comments at the end stroking my... ego. I expect it will be done.

HP: I don't respond well to ultimatums. But cash? Definitely.

Who is your favorite author?

HP: US Weekly. No, kidding. US Weekly is a publication, not an author. At risk of sounding like a total cliche, I'm going to say Dan Brown. Angels & Demons was the greatest book I've ever read, hands down, and I only wish Mr. Brown had more for me to read.

WAC: It used to be John Grisham. Now, I don't read novels much- I stick to how-to books and the like. So I'll say Mr. Bookfer Dummies. My favorite classic book, though, is The Great Gatsby. Oh, and the Bible. I'm supposed to say the Bible, right? I did actually read all of the New Testament a few times through. Old Testament is rough. Too much begetting. It's all they do in Deuteronomy. Beget babies and stone prostitutes.

What TV shows are your must-sees?

WAC: Um, anything I write a TV play-by-play about, because it's just trashy enough to make you feel better about yourself, and just entertaining enough that you don't feel totally embarrassed telling your friends you watched it. Also, The Office, Friday Night Lights and It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia, which will have an episode about cannibalism this season. I'm jacked. Haute, I'm a little scared to read what you think are must-sees. It's not Gossip Girl, is it?

HP: Good God no. I have excellent taste in television. Upon first reading this question my initial reaction was, "I really don't watch much T.V." Upon further consideration of my must-see list, I realized it actually appears that I never leave the couch. That's not entirely false. Many of my favorites have been discontinued, but the list is as follows: Grey's Anatomy (WAC, don't even THINK about it), Arrested Development, Curb Your Enthusiasm, Entourage, Weeds, The Sopranos, The Wire, The Office, Til Death, Family Guy, Malcolm in the Middle, Rob & Big, and I Love Lucy. Wow. I'm lucky I'm not an 800 pound women. Especially considering my love for Doritos.

WAC: Yeah, how are you all thin and hot and whatnot? Go figure. Anyway, a lot of excellent choices, especially since you know I'm man-crushing on The Wire recently, and I love The Office. but Til Death? Really? That's one of those comedies that's just... on. You don't ever love it, but if there's nothing else on, then you say, Well, it's got the guy from American Pie on it. Eh.

Bex

Would you date/ have you dated a co-worker? I ask because I really, really want to make a move on Pancho the Copy Machine. and by that, I mean photocopy my butt.

WAC: If you do photocopy your butt, please blog about it.

HP: You're so discreet, WAC. But Bex, I totally agree. Do it.

WAC: I had a brief fling with a girl who worked in a different building but same company, if that counts. Let's just say that didn't go well. Fortunately, most journalists are not the type you'd want to date (myself included), so I don't have that problem. If Haute worked in my office, I'd send her a photocopy of my butt. No doubt. I'd autograph it, "To Haute, You're the best. No butts about it. WildArs." She'd tear up a little, and then sell it on eBay.

HP: You know me too well. Where have you been all my life?

Diane

What's the weirdest thing you've ever eaten?

WAC: Crocodile sausage. Wasn't bad, either.

HP: I'm going to tell the Internet a story that I have never lived down and will most likely immediately regret. I am the oldest of 3 children. A long time ago, my parents, younger brother, younger sister and I all sat down to eat s'mores and watch a movie. Family time, if you will. My sister was still in diapers, meaning I was about 8 years old. Give or take a few minutes. I saw a brown chunk on my blanket, and thinking it was a piece of fallen chocolate, I popped it into my mouth. A millisecond later, I was up and screaming, running around frantically, crying and brushing my teeth. (I can see you all, hands to mouth, in horror.) I had somehow eaten a small piece of poo that had escaped from my sisters diaper. Nearly 16 years later and I've yet to live that moment down. Or top it.

WAC: Words cannot describe how to react to that. On a related note, I just threw up in my mouth a little bit.

Do you think guys and girls can be really great friends without sex becoming an issue?

WAC: See my co-blog post with my ex-fiance. We lived in the same apartment for a year, using the same bed, after we broke up, and we never touched each other. I've been friends with lots of women without sex getting involved. I'd be much more worried if I had problems with guy friends because sex got involved.

HP: Honestly, I'm not sure how I feel about this topic. There are three particular males that I consider great platonic friends of mine and sex/gender has never been an issue. And it's also never been awkward. But there are a couple of guys, namely an ex-boyfriend, whom I know I could never have an honest-to-God friendship with. At this moment in time, I would say it depends on the people.

WAC, what's the longest you've ever gone without showering and why?

WAC: Good question. I'm guessing during the summer when I was in high school and didn't have to go anywhere, I figured screw it for several days. I was such a social butterfly.

...to be continued (dramatic John Williams music)

To discuss what went right ...

Andy looked at the flower bouquet in the passenger seat. Silently, for everything that night was about silence, he picked up the flowers, got out of his car parked by his apartment, walked calmly to a nearby dumpster and bashed those motherf'rs in one, sweet blow to the ground before tossing in the remaining stem carcass, as petals fluttered in the air like Forrest Gump's feather.
----
That's how my weekend ended. You must be interested, then, to know what led up to that point, right?(If not, dude, what's up? What, you want chain saws and explosions involved? It's a low-budget blog.)
Let's start off with the good...
Saturday was a total wash, weather wise, because Hurricane Anna used the East Coast as the tampon for her rainstorm period. But, I did get to hang out with a new Ladyfriend. So as not to jinx anything with Ladyfriend, especially on the off chance she finds this blog (in that case, um, you look pretty), I'll skip much of the details. It wasn't a date, officially- we met on a friendly level. It was an online connection.
Just know there was bowling involved, and we both got schooled by a neighboring toddler- and you know how I hate that. And Ladyfriend's got lots of wonderful qualities. And, at one point while discussing The Notebook (Good God I end up talking about that movie a lot), I made the off-the-cuff statement that I'd prefer if my wife and I died at the same time to avoid heartache, so maybe it would be best if we did a double suicide. Double. Suicide. My. Words. W. T. H.
There's nothing more attractive to a woman than a man who wants to go all Romeo and Juliet on her in her golden years. What in the world was I thinking.
In any case, given her good sense of humor and my exquisite good looks, everything went well...
And then, dear, dear friends, there was today...I got stood up twice, by the same girl (not Ladyfriend, mind you), in two different towns- although, to be fair, for legitimate reasons.
Want to know more? Check back later (I'm a bigger master of suspense than M. Night Shyamalan), after you've read all of my new, two-part Question and Answer feature with Haute Pocket. If all this doesn't get you through Monday, then what will?
No, seriously. What will? Like, LSD? Heavy petting? Cause I'll do what it takes.
The Q&A will be posted first thing Monday morning, with the second half coming mid-afternoon on Haute's site (in the meantime, check out her recent post about her dog eating $20.)

To discuss a TV Play by Play: America's Next Top Model is for the boys now

You asked for it (ok, one person did), so here it is- A television play-by-play of the season premiere of America's Next Top Model, CW's reigning train wreck and a personal fave. Get ready for Tyra Banks overload (I wish she was still back on Fresh Prince of Bel-Air... those were the good days).

:01 ANTM has been around for a decade? For realsees? On a related note- name one winner that you've seen regularly gracing the catwalk or magazine covers. Better yet- name one winner.
:01 First model introduced: Hannah (if they introduce you, you're almost guaranteed a spot. Let's see how that plays out). Hannah is from... oh, of course. Alaska. It's becoming a plague, people. Hannah tells us they don't have freeways or people in Alaska. Coincidentally, the woman who wants to be our next vice president is using her experience as governor of Alaska to shoot her to the top... a state that, evidently, is barren of transportation or residents to govern.
:02 Holy crap you guys, they took the bus full of models to some abandoned warehouse, and judges Miss J (Miss J is a dude, in case you didn't know) and Jay Manuel step out in all-white spaceship looking things and declare they are at the Top Model Institute of Technology... I knew models must be cyborg based. I just knew it.
:02 Ok, at this rate, this is going to be my longest post ever. It's a two-hour episode, and every second is both horrible and amazing... First thought as they walk inside the Institute- It's that white room from Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory, where they miniaturize that cowboy dude... now I'm jonesing for some Wonka bars.
:04 While practicing their catwalk, Clark, one of the requisite skinny blond girls that I may offer to have relations with, says that people are "threatened when they see me walk."... Does she swing her arms around like a ninja or something when she walks?
:06 Tyra appears, taking a few moments to enjoy people looking at her. She's also wearing a bra as a top, reminding me of a great Seinfeld episode with the same idea (the braless wonder).
:07 Just seven minutes in, I can already tell this is going to be the biggest trainwreck season yet. They pushed that Institute idea wayyy too far despite not having the budget for a futuristic feel. They are apparently stealing Saved By the Bell's special effects guy, because they effects look more dated than Lisa Turtle's shoulder pads, and have the panache of Zack freezing people during his Timeouts.
:13 I can't make this crap up. Analeigh said she got whored out by Saudi Arabians. She tells Tyra that some woman conned her into thinking she was working with a modeling agency, but in reality Analeigh was bought by a Saudi Arabian prince to be his wife. They got our oil, and now they want our women, too? I now officially know what the War on Terror is.... Oh, by the way, Analeigh giggles when she tells the story. Giggles, ladies.
:16 The requisite Mormon is on. She'll never live up to the all-time reality show Mormon, Julie from Real World: New Orleans, who got kicked out of BYU and outcast from her family because she turned into a hussy on camera. Veronique (yeah, not very Mormon-y) said her parents sent her to lock-down for 3 months for having sex with her boyfriend. And you thought God's heavy hand of moral justice was harsh...
:17 And, finally, the much-publicized transgender girl is introduced. Well, why not. Let's throw another shrimp on the Top Model barbie. Isis says she was born in the wrong body. I feel you, Isis. Ryan Reynolds stole my body. Bastard... Guarantee of the season: Isis will end up in the Top 5. Tyra loves social issues; last year was the plus-size model. This year, a man-girl.... The other girls find out Isis is transgender and, of course, get catty and jealous. Why, oh why, do girls get so catty?
:24 Tyra tells the plus-size model, who, you know, eats and stuff, that she is too thin. Way to give her another complex. Now, to compensate in the modeling world, she'll have to throw up all her meals to stay skinny, and then eat it back up like baby robins in order to get fat.
:27 Hannah Alaska is back (Get it? Like Hannah Montana, except colder and with a girl's voice). She now says she grew up without electricity and was chased by a moose once. That's it. This Sarah Palin chick has got to go. Her state is full of nomads.
:31 Elina, a bisexual vegan, says she has a crush on Clark, who hates everyone. This should be interesting. Related news- I've dated or made out with several bisexuals. Maybe that's my problem.
:37 Some teenager blanks on answering the classic ANTM question: Who are five models working right now? (another is who are five fashion designers)... It blows my mind every year girls don't come prepared for this. They always ask it, and girls always blankly stare. Man. Maybe I should be on ANTM. I've got a mean catwalk.
:38 They are making the first cuts back in the Wonka room. Some of those who make it: Hannah Alaska (called it!), Saudi Arabia, BiVegan, Token Asian, Isisaman (called it!), Clarkhater, MiddleSize and Nikeysha, who declares, "Take me aboard the mother ship with the hot aliens." Um, what?
:41 First photoshoot. Realize that I have seen many, many seasons of this. I know what works in the photoshoots. Let's see if I can pick out some good ones.
:42 Already, a bunch of girls make two classic ANTM blunders: Men's magazine pose (too much sexy pin-up) and constipated pose (self explanatory). The good ones know instantly to slightly turn in a knee, do the hands on the hips with elbows pointed forward thing, or extend the neck with elegantly placed fingers- all solid moves. Also- I swear I like girls.
:48 Ad for that new "90210" series comes on. Have any of you seen it? There's no way that's good.
:51 Tyra, Miss J and Jay look at the photoshoot shots... At one point, Tyra says Clarkhater is "pretty pretty, which is ugly ugly." Wait, so should I date ugly girls then? Am I missing something?
:52 Alright, here we go. The top 14. Among my predictions to get in are Hannah Alaska, BiVegan, Clarkhater, Token Asian, Isisaman, Saudi Arabia and MiddleSize.
:53 2 for 2 so far with TA and SA.
:55 Isisaman (called it!), Clarkhater and BiVegan are added. 5 for 5... C'mon, MiddleSize! Oh, and Clarkhater went to BiVegan for a hug first after getting named. Love is in the air.
:56 MiddleSize is out, apparantly because they had a plus-size model win last season so they had enough eaters for the time being.
:57 Hannah Alaska, who made it (called it!), now says they don't have billboards in Alaska. I also notice she's from Fairbanks, a major city I've actually heard of, which begs the question- what is going on in Fairbanks?
:58 Token Asian says, "You're not ready for this yellow fever." Um, well, you're right, I'm not, if by yellow fever you mean malaria.
---------
Ok, the first half has concluded. Want to read about the second half? Come back tomorrow for my big conclusion... They are already promising drama with Isisaman and Clarkhater. Don't leave any spoilers in the comments for those who haven't seen it all yet...

And, if you haven't done so already, e-mail wildarschase@yahoo.com with questions for Monday's first ever Q&A, co-answered with the lovely hautepocket. Ask her terribly difficult questions that will cause her to blush. I'll enjoy it...

To discuss you stuffing my mail box like a Thanksgiving turkey

The regular daily post will be coming soon- there are dying puppies involved (now are you interested?)- but first, because I'm guessing most of you took the holiday weekend off from blogging, I just want to remind you of a sweet feature coming out next Monday: Question & Answer. With the help of Haute Pocket, we'll be answering your questions about anything that comes to mind- make it random, make it funny, make it serious, make it borderline illegal. I hope to turn it into a weekly feature, but first, we gotta get a good start.
That means I need you submitting questions like it's your civic duty. You can just leave them in the comments, or send them to a spiffy e-mail account I set up just for you: wildarschase@yahoo.com (can you believe nobody already claimed that? Morons. It's golden).
If you want to hear about puppies, about Christmas in Delaware or about the brief moment yesterday that I considered stabbing myself with plastic flatware, I suggest you question up.
Love ya! (in a non-sexual way)
