    At least something actually happened on the first half of the 2-part Top Chef Finale. (I'm looking at you Project Runway...)

    A two-part finale is oxymoronic, but perhaps not so much so as the concept of the Final Destination franchise:

    Final Destination (2000)
    Final Destination 2 (2003)
    Final Destination 3 (2006)
    The Final Destination (2009)

    TK:
    The Final Destination: OK, One More For the Road (2011)
    The Final Destination: For Real This Time (2013)
    The Final Destination: Ha, Ha, Just Kidding! (2015)

    etc.

    House's two-part season 4 finale was the best two hours of television I've ever seen.

    Next you're going to tell me that "Venti" isn't Italian for Extra Large. Or that a "Child Size" soda at the movies is actually a "Small".

    This is still better than what "Survivor" always does, which is wait to announce the winner till the after-show "reunion" show. So if you only TiVo'd the finale itself, you're out of luck.

    @TedSez: Why no love for the reunion show? It's always fun to see their glammed up hair and makeup. I, for one, am rather excited to see what wonders Shambo's mullet holds.

    @misslinda: If Shambo wins, she better spend $25 and update her mullet to the wedge. It is the stereotypically lesbian haircut of today.

    Two-parters, pshaw. I consider myself lucky when my finale has even one good part.

    @snugbug: Well played, snuggie, well played.

    Although in my opinion one of those would clearly be the grand finale, while the other would just be a coda.

    I'm seeing a hatful of hotdog down the hallway.

    Seriously, this babe passes the Drunkio acid test: Is her writing style better than Sarah Lacey's?

    I mean, when Lacey is NOT taking dictation from Vivek Wadhwa?

    I'd spill, but that's another Lingham down a Yoni hallway in and of itself.

    Also, I'll take a 'Bukkake Tour' over an 'Emerging Markets whilst riding dirty animals' tour anyday.

    That's an idea: Hipster Grifter and Sarah Lacey hooking up.

    I mean NBC is desperate for programming and this is definitely too niche for Fox so...I think she has a shot with the (pea)cock.

    That was too easy. #kariferrell

    Or if he's too old to run around the world all season, how about Jesse Ventura? #kariferrell
