Nah, just move the show to flyover land. They could stay busy in Minnesota for years.

Also it's too bad QE's broadcast network deal is with NBC because I'd love to see the guys do something with Jack's hair and glasses on BB4. He's like Prince Valiant with male pattern balding.

I am so over Ted. I release him back into the mancrush marketplace. He's not really gay, he's just a big dork. I mean, are you fucking kidding me? "Push the lobster meat out of the shell"? "Here's how you use a kitchen torch to glaze a ramekin of creme brulee, which I already made for you off camera"? Fucking useless. Of course, the SG was so retarded he still couldn't do it right. That guy was like Shrek or something.

Kyan's star is rising. He's so pretty he should be dumb, but he's actually quite funny. Not Carson funny, but probably the second funniest guy on the show, and way ahead of the pack in the looks department once you take Jai out of the running for being a chick.

Carson sucked last night. With each passing show, he's dressing people more like himself, which isn't a good thing.

The special place in my heart is now reserved for Thom, though. His makeovers are by far the most dramatic. Kyan just takes the SG to whatever Salon has paid Bravo for the product placement and says, "Here's an idea --- let's shape your eyebrows." Thom actually dives into a hellhole and transforms it. I think I'll name a son Thom and make him spell it that way. That said, last night's rooms were disappointing. How much gayness does it take to drop $3,500 bucks on a single phone call to West Elm? I'll answer that: not a whole lot of gayness.

In all fairness, Thom gets the crap clean-up-the-nasty-mess job of all of them. I actually liked the idea of using the crack pipe for a new purpose at dessert...

Oh please - those QE boys would fly out here, spend one Saturday night with the Flower, and realize that there were simply no improvements to be made. "A straight man prettier than we are . . . how can it be?" "His fashion sense is . . . beyong reproach. Remarkable!" "He already owns a William Sonoma mini-blow torch! He even was able to pattern the carmelized sugar in the most astounding manner. We are truly humbled."

That is an episode that I would want to see.

Did they find a crack pipe and show that? If so, I missed it. I thought the episode was quite funny for the first half, and then bogged down.

As for Cupid, they are going to have a problem of too many guys, needing to push the intimacy, but not having her look like a slut or offend the final few guys.

As for BB4, Alison may be more bald-faced and evil than Will, but far less smart or funny about it. Still, Nathan is a whiny pussy, almost as whiny as Amy on Paradise Hotel, who still doesn't get that she was not entitled to stay on the show with her man.

Seriously. You live in SF. Why are you watching so much TV?

Pegging? Nobody hipped me to that, Dude. But then, I'm not sure I really want to know.

Well, the Tivo, coupled with the mad recapping that goes on in all the reality shows, results in Less only watching about 15 minutes of tv per night.

TM, when you talk to Diana, I expect the full report back.

That is all.

It is when a woman puts on a strap on and performs anal sex upon her boyfriend. I suppose it could be on a girlfriend too, I forget whether it was specific to being done to a certain gender.

Then be sure not to miss "gaping."

Exactly. "His DVDs are sub-categorized and alphebetized within sub-categories, and there is an index cross-referencing them by release date, porn star, and money shot count. How does he do it?!?"

Alas Kyan IS gay. The only thing that makes his gayness more palatable to me is the fact that he would be way out of league anyway if he was straight. He is gay and he had a crush on the male stripper they had on the show.

I agree with Atticus that Thom has done a great job with the rooms. I liked the West Elm stuff, but agree that it was more of a phone in this week. But for my Kyan-crush, Thom is my favorite. But Carson will be the star b/c he is laugh-out-loud funny.

[I got Al Franken's permission to use "funny"]

Kyan and Franklin crushes in the same week? You may need a new nickname if Franklin doesn't turn out to be the straight mate.

Spree: all about synthetic diamonds and how DeBeer's is scared as hell. Good.

Best quote: "Wrong, says Jef Van Royen, a senior scientist at the Diamond High Council, the official representative of the diamond industry in Belgium. "If people really love each other, then they give each other the real stone," he says, during an interview at council headquarters on the Hoveniersstraat in Antwerp. "It is not a symbol of eternal love if it is something that was created last week.""

I'm reasonably certain that it was gender specific - boyfriend.

Actually my Franklin crush has faded. He is cute, but last night he seemed a little awkward and young. Yes, Kyan wins my "most likely gay" crush for the moment.
