The lovely and hilarious Amy Sedaris will be playing a role on the October 12 episode of My Name if Earl as a love interest for Randy. Amy will play Judy, a woman who loves cats. This turns out to be somewhat of an obstacle for Randy because he's allergic to felines. Meanwhile, Earl tries to return a prize cat to Judy after sabotaging a cat show to help Joy. I personally never watch My Name is Earl, though I did watch it a bit when it first aired, and even though network sitcoms ain't m' thang I'll contend it was better than most of what's out there. Being an Amy fan, though, I just might have to tune in for this episode. Who knows, maybe I'll get drawn back into the show again.

Over the past two days we've watched the top eight guys and the top eight girls do their best to get to the big stage, but as Sean Connery said in The Rock: "Your best? Losers always whine about their best; winners go home and... " let's just say "get it done". So who tried their best, yet still came up short? Join me back here to this very post at 8pm EST and that's when I'll unveil the location for the super secret chatroom for our Live American Idol chat. I'll be in the room under the id TVSRyan, so come enter the room and we'll share our picks. See you at 8!

Update:

Group Auditions. Sounds kinky, huh? It's not. It's a lot of fighting. And of course, it all begins with the Brittenum twins. They were split up this week, but that didn't stop the drama. Terrell was in a group that he wasn't too pleased with. Is he ever pleased? He thought they should be practicing into the wee hours of the morning, while half of the group just wanted to get some sleep. 

I liked Bo and Constantine. They brought a rock element to American Idol, and I dug it. Little did I know that their success would bring an onslaught of rock n' rollers/out of controllers auditioning for AI. Awesome. Now, instead of simply listening to wannabes slaughter great pop songs, we're also treated to the torture of rock hits as well. I use to like Bo and Constantine. I now love them. It's because of them that I got to see a punk kid breakdance tonight...and I think he meant it. Plus, we got the satisfaction of seeing Seacrest flash the rock sign. But instead of flashing devil horns, he actually said 'I love you' in sign language. Amateur mistake, but appreciated nevertheless.
