I Love Jason Castro

Does anyone remember Jason Castro? He was on Idol a couple of seasons ago, maybe the David/David season? He is a white boy with dredlocks and a cute smile and he doesn't exactly come across as the brightest guy you will ever meet! But, he was sort of adorable and he really won over a lot of people (including Simon) with his rendition of "Over the Rainbow". To be honest, I was NOT a big fan.

However, since AI and the ridiculous top 10/12 tour has ended, JC has released some great music! My favorite is "Let's fall in love again" or something like that and there are a couple more which I love!! I am such a lover these days...

And I do have some new comments about BL - although I don't feel like I know the contestants yet and I DEFINITELY think this "season" is way too soon after last season. I'm wondering (yes, back to the shirt colors) if white is the best color for a BL contestant? I don't even wear white (t-shirts, anyway), and while I am not huge like them, I could certainly stand to lose a few. Or a few dozen. White, Brown...I am SO voting for magenta!

These players are HUGE. It's insane - and what kind of a name is Miggy? (Portugese, I know). I have to admit I am starting to love Jillian the therapist and wonder why my therapist isn't like her. I want my therapist to get in my face and DEMAND that I cry, that crying makes me strong. And then I want her to send in backup (like Bob) when I don't initially respond to her browbeating technique. And then I want her to take me in the pool and "hold" me so I can conquer my fear of water. And to hug me when I am ridiculously sweaty and gross. And to yell at me when I "play the game" and only lose 1 pound when I have immunity. Most of all, I want my therapist to stand on my quads when I am doing wall squats and, of course, let me pull her across the room by a tug-o-war rope. When did therapy become so shoddy??

I am starting to think, at this point, that the huge players have an advantage. If Big White is still losing 10 lbs per week without "putting in the effort", it's because he is so damn fat. And it's not fair to the skinny contestants who can't possibly stand up to that kind of weight loss even though they are doing "the work". There are two BL phrases I hate.... "I pulled a 7". What does that mean? How does pulling equate to weight loss?? Are they talking about pulling Jillian? And, "the work". He isn't doing "the work". I did "the work". I do realize it is hard to work out 6-8 hours a day, although it is significantly less hard when you have no other responsibilities. Actually, it sounds like a pretty good life. But it does not constitute "the work". Or does it?

And I HATE whatnot, although it is not as good/bad as "the whole kit and kaboodle". I also am not a fan of the abuse of "go ahead", which is a major offense of most Food Network chefs. I am going to go ahead and chop the endive. And then I will go ahead and carmelize the onions before I go ahead and taste this delicious meal I just prepared.

Anybody watch the Millionaire Matchmaker? I know I like the show, but I can't decide if I love or hate Patty!

I think Jason looked like an adorable muppet.
