About Last Night: Olympics and Lost

Last night, the girls didn’t do so well on Idol (see recap) but they kicked ass at the Olympics and went nuts on Lost.

That was wonderful. Just please don’t come out with a single.

Olympics: Chooch

“Girls Rule!” After watching the girls skate last night, I realized that girls are the best at skating, if not everything! Not one of them fell down during their short programs & there were very little mistakes. It just shows how much their male counterparts suck! Especially the delusional Evgeni Plushenko & his phony platinum medal. I am no longer an adoring fan, that’s for sure. Right now, all my hopes & dreams go to Canada’s Joannie Rochette. Only 48 hours after the sudden death of her mom, she came out on the ice & performed just for her. With her dad in the bleachers all teary-eyed, her routine was flawless. When it was over, the tears flowed, hers, mine & everyone in that arena. Scott Hamilton couldn’t even comment. Is it okay if I root for her to win the gold medal Thursday night, cuz that’s just what I’m going to do.

Lost: Ack

On this week’s Lost, Jacob asked Hurley to do him a solid and take Jack to a lighthouse so they could help guide someone towards the island. After a little manipulating and Star Wars references, Hurley convinced Jack to go, and the two of them hiked to the lighthouse (and past the old Rape Caves on the way). Once they got inside they found a crazy mirror that was sitting on a giant dial with ” you guessed it ” names and numbers written all over it! Only this isn’t just ANY crazy

mirror sitting on a giant dial ” when you set the dial to a certain name, you see that person’s home in the mirror’s reflection! WHA!? So THIS is how Jacob was keeping dibs on all his candidates! It would have been awesome to experiment with it a while, the only problem with that scenario being that Jack had a tantrum and smashed it to pieces! Luckily for Hurley’s sake that seems to have been Jacob’s plan all along. This is all to make Jack feel like a unique and pretty snowflake!

Meanwhile back at Claire’s camp, we found out she’s not just kind of crazy, but she makes Danielle look like a perfectly well-adjusted person! Not only did she kill an Other with an axe after he assured

her he didn’t have Aaron, she also keeps a super creepy replica baby in an equally creepy crib! Jin found it almost as disturbing as we did, only he hatched a plan to get Claire to come with him to the temple. Hopefully she won’t run into Kate on the way because this new crazy I’m-BFFs-with-Smokey Claire said she’d kill Kate if she’s the one who took Aaron away from her!

It turns out that Sideways Jack not only passes up alcoholic drinks, but he also has a moody tween music prodigy kid! We didn’t find out who the mother is (YET) but suffice it to say that while Sideways Jack seems to have been a crappy dad up until this point in his son’s life, he seems like he’s actually coming around! Shock! Awe!
