We're finally here: the finale of Season 11. Honestly, I'm a little sad it's ending. There have been seasons of this show that felt interminable - Season 9 was a death march, it really was. But I have generally enjoyed this season and I think...

The finale! And only one hour tonight, thank god. It's down to Jessica Sanchez and Phillip Phillips - a very weird mix for a finale, but two undoubtedly talented contestants in very different ways. The evening featured three rounds. Round 1...

"House M.D." Season 8, Episode 22 Series Finale: Everybody does lie
*Full spoilers for the "House" series finale to follow*
Ever since the announcement that this would be the last season of "House," I was convinced that the titular...

The opening group number was "Got To Get You Into My Life." I don't know why I continue to be surprised when Phillip sounds good on these group numbers. I think it's because his growly affectations would not logically work in a combo...

We're at Top 3! Joshua Ledet, Jessica Sanchez, and Phillip Phillips. Three very talented young people. Three songs for the semi-finalists. First came the judges' picks. Second were the contestants' picks. Third were Jimmy Iovine's picks....

Wednesday night's performance show demonstrated that we have three really talented finalists still in this race, and also poor Hollie Cavanagh, who has no business still being in this competition. It also proved to me that the Julian Lennon...

The themes for the night were "California Dreamin'" - songs either about California or by bands from California - and "Songs the Contestants Wish They Had Written." Those are incredibly broad themes. On top of the two solo performances there...

Right to results - no group number tonight.
Joshua was up first. I think it's safe to say that Joshua has become the most polarizing contestant this season. The judges, Jimmy, and the producers just love him, and so do many viewers. But then...

Top 5! There is light at the end of the tunnel. The theme for the week was split between music of the 60's and Brit Pop (which actually was still mostly music from the 60's). So naturally the guest mentor for the week was Steven Van Zandt....

Locas! We're at the end of an exciting, wonderful season. Last week many of you had televisual blue balls after RuPaul pulled a cocktease by refusing to pick a winner during the show's supposed finale. Instead she told us that the winner...

Opening the show we got The Queen Extravaganza, a band that Ryan told us were hand-picked by the remaining members of Queen. They sang "Somebody to Love." The first half of this was simply dreadful. The lead singer looked vaguely like Freddie...

Last week we got the "shock" booting of Colton, and the week before that Jessica nearly went home. I think this season is really wide open, more than it has been in recent years. I think that, aside from Hollie and Elise, anybody else in the...

I guess we'll call that the finale that wasn't. The finales for "Drag Race" have historically been controversial. In Season 1 you had the widely adored Nina Flowers losing to the also-awesome Bebet Zahara Bent. In Season 3 you had Ru giving...

The Top 7 started the show with a group number to "Dancing in the Street" by Martha & the Vandellas. Skylar looked absolutely adorable. Jessica's mic wasn't turned on for the first half of her solo. Haley was actually really great on this...

After last week's non-shocking "shocking" use of the judges' save we still had seven contestants. That was troublesome since all seven had to sing twice tonight - a lot to fit into one show - but preferable to losing last week's lowest...

The opening group number to Pink's "Raise Your Glass" was one of the worst in recent memory. SUPER cheesy and the contestants were all over the place. Elise acquitted herself well. The rest....not so much. There were times where I swear I...

The theme for Top 7 was music from 2010 to today. Any artist, any genre. The guest mentor was Akon, which is...hilarious. Truly. A guy who has barely a one-octave range is giving advice in a singing competition. Welcome to the state of the...

Final 4! AGAIN! But this time for realsies. As we all knew it would, the season came down to Chad Michaels, Latrice Royale, Sharon Needles, and Phi Phi O'Hara. The only queen who ever really had a shot of taking one of those spots was Willam,...

After a long and troubled release history, "Xenoblade Chronicles," one of the coveted Wii JRPG titles that created fan-localization movements, finally hits American shores today, April 6. I'm roughly halfway through the game, but with a game...

Ryan started out the results episode by telling us that Poor Joshua was sick, saying that he was nearly ready to pass out. I wonder if that means they'll all be sick next week. If he's contagious that could be bad news for the rest of the Top...
