Yeah, I was rooting for Cas, but I’m glad Terry will be getting out of [Corperate Gig Hell](http://www.corpentertainment.net/TerryFatorvideopage3.html). He deserves better than that.

God, that is so. fucking. grim.

That _Family Guy_ joke about wrong-sounding Muppets wasn’t that far from the truth- Steve Whitmire has always been a good Kermit, but whoever’s doing Swedish Chef nowadays is way off.

As soon as Kermit started talking, Dan and I turned to each other, puzzled looks on our faces, and went “whuuu?? that’s not Kermit!!”

And it’s not the Swedish Chef if he doesn’t say “bork bork” at least once. Sorry.

But more importantly: YAY! TERRY WON!!!

Don’t tell me you skipped “the Hof’s” performance. It was … memorable.

Don’t say I didn’t warn you (see Post 74 in this thread).

I watched the finale of this show, as well as the finale of “On The Lot” and both did the same, long, dragged out, tedious show with a bazillion commercials…it is nights like this that I thank the powers that be for DVR…watch the last ten minutes, with fast forward, to get past the endless bullshit…I cannot fathom having watched that entire, painful show in real time…I would have slashed my wrists just having to hear The Hoff sing.

BTW, I think Terry should have won - Cas was very good, but Terry was original and FINALLY, a none-American Idol wannabe (too old or too young) didn’t win.
