(Oh man!) What to do?

rocco
Yeah, I totally wanted to see that pot of sauce get dumped on people too, but now we'll ALL have to wait, because NBC yanked "The Restaurant" all of a sudden!!! with like NO warning!!! out of sweeps in favor of the ratings bonanza that is a rerun of "Crossing Jordan." These people, whoever they are, say Rocco's going to totally start over from the beginning on ... June 9? And then maybe they won't do this again and we'll get see the rest of the season? But I want to see sauce get dumped on people NOW. What?

I also totally missed "Helter Skelter" last night. Dame.

You know I noticed this today at like 6:30. Dollie wouldn't believe me. "Let's check anyway, in case the cable guide is wrong." It wasn't. Bleh. In better news, I totally DVRed "Helter Skelter" and I can tape it for you all nice-like.

OMG bring it pretty pretty please :-* and then you can come live in our mansion and drink Grain Belt all day long.

Yay! That is my plan. Oh, I mean my dream. Oops.

Ooh, did you notice that it came back? They are just running the shows out to have done it. They played two back to back on Saturday, and then this coming Saturday is the last one ever. I think. These I don't have on DVR, sadly. But they were both boring and wildly unsettling all at the same time.

Oh yes! Had it not been for a) someone posting about it on The W while it was on and b) me actually reading The W during prime time, we would have totally missed it. We missed the first 20 minutes of the second show, and I guess we had already seen the first one? At least I hope we didn't miss any sauce being poured on anyone, but we didn't see it, so unless they're saving it for the big finale we missed it. Maybe if they rerun them on Bravo like they did last time, we can only hope.

OK, so they did pour sauce on someone (and the episode that was on first I hadn't seen before at all), but it wasn't even dramatic or awesome. Evidently, that is what they do when people leave, and so cute French man was leaving to go work at a French place and they made a pot of sauce and chocolate syrup and fish stink and stuff to throw on him for good luck. Did you see with the fire? We watched them right in a row, so I can't at all distinguish between the first and second episodes. All I know is that it makes me so nervous, that show. Also, that me and Rocco need to have a talk about him being not a total idiot. I feel that he has potential somehow, somewhere. Or something.

You do need to talk to Rocco. Like Sheridan, he needs an intervention. "You're my future ex-wife, hahaha, show me your rack!" Ai yi yi. Boo on the pot of sauce being fun and games. I should have known that those commercials are all manipulation and falsehoods, like all the stupid actors that were hired as waitstaff in season one and now I have to suffer seeing Gideon's lame ass on "WWE SmackDown!" commercials. To think I actually felt sorry for him when he "broke" his "arm."
