Notes after the jump. …
Dandrew's Stupidity Tour continued on Sunday night, and I have to wonder how these guys have managed to last this long. How many different times did they change their mind on the march-or-borscht challenge? Their last-place finish was completely deserved, and I regret that they were saved by it being a non-elimination leg. The other three remaining teams — Nick/Starr, Toni/Dallas, Ken/Tina — all have both skill and likable qualities; my favorite is Toni/Dallas but I would be OK with either of the others winning. Dandrew, meanwhile, have — well, some nice new sneakers.
With the possible exception of T-Pain — good singer, and perhaps the only amusing aspect of the latest Blizzard Man sketch — "SNL" was terrible this week. I'm not blaming host Tim McGraw, who tried gamely to do his part. But egad, the writing: dumb sketch ideas, dragged out, with no real resolution. The James Bond sketch is one prime example, but as the show went on and on, I was fast-forwarding more and more. And "Weekend Update" was a complete letdown after Justin Timberlake's visit a week ago; even Darrell Hammond's Bill Clinton is getting tired — and the Hillary punchline was overly telegraphed.
Argh.

How in the world can anyone not manage to march? How is he able to walk? "I guess I'm not coordinated" becomes the understatement of the year. But he did amuse a bunch of Russians, so some good came out of it. If they manage to survive the Speed Bump, I'm going to be so angry…
