Marty Martin Goes Home, Hell Freezes Over

K here.


It seems America didn't like Marty Martin last week, voting him off The Lot in a surprise move that I'm sure has Carry Fisher doing brain cartwheels. In fact, after what happened during last week's episode, I wouldn't be surprised if she went crying to Spielburg himself.

Adrianna Costa, whose dress would have gotten her kicked out of most any Catholic school, didn't even wait until the end of the show to announce his departure, and, being the brilliant host she is, said so. What happened to Chelsea Handler, the smarter, prettier, overall better host? Wasn't screwing a producer, you say?

The shorts improved drastically this week. Underwhelming resident Daddy Will Bingham's short about a man who loses his glass eye was pretty standard with some good funny moments, while Jason Epperson's short "Blood Born" shows you why it's not a good idea to waste your life.

Obvious standout Zach Lee, wowed the judges with "Sunshine Girl" a cute little short about a girl who steals the sun. The not-so-lucky "it's my journey" Jessica Brillhart didn't fare well with her confusing "horror" short shot from a tree's perspective.

With the departure of Marty Martin, I wonder how the show will go? I'm hoping the bland days of uninspired contestant/judge banter goes as well. (Along with Hilary.)

In other, not quite irrelevent news, Vote for the Worst has pegged Kenny Luby as their lucky pick, followed by the heading "Hey no one else is watching this show. Might as well try while we wait for Canadian Idol to start, right?"
