We're sad to see Brook go, but I think it was her time. And, it's almost Brian's time to overtake Chad for the lead. Only 13 points separate the two. Good luck gentlemen! There was lots of movement in the top 10 for the AIFL this week. Take a look!
Also, feel free to take a look at my favorite Brook White performance, from a few weeks back . . .

Restaurant Review: Pride Burger
Do you want some PRIDE in your burger?
We wanted some, so we gave Pride Burger in McKinney a try. Let me tell you, it was an experience.
This mom-and-pop establishment has the exact quaint, no-frills look that usually signifies excellent undiscovered grub. However, we discovered that sometimes a hole in the wall is just a hole in the wall.
The food was extremely average. It was the kind of stuff you can get at a little league concession stand.
Oh well, at least the kids liked it.
I think the only thing that Pride Burger has going for it is the atmosphere and the clientèle. If you want to get a good taste of rural North Texas, just come sit in here for awhile, y'all.
We overheard a unique conversation while we were there. A crusty-looking 50-something toothless gentleman was sitting in a booth just to the left of the proceeding picture. The pictured couple walked in, and the wife immediately recognized the fellow seated at the booth. Here's what we heard:
Lady: Hey, aren't you Glen?
"Glen" (Groaning and grunting): yeaaahhh . . .
Lady (somewhat taken aback): Remember me? I'm Melba.
"Glen" (Looking the other way): Uh huhhh . . .
Lady (clutching tightly to her husband): Uh, nice to see you again!
(Lady exits right while Glen continues gumming his chicken.)
And did we mention the free gambling machine? Wil sure liked it. Must be those Vegas genes kicking in.
So, do we recommend Pride Burger? No. Was it a once-in-a-lifetime experience? You betcha.
If you venture out and decide to swallow your *Pride*, say hi to Glen for us!!

Finally, New Results
Sorry for the delay. We now have the updated AIFL results! Brian has continued to close the gap by once again predicting the correct person going home. He was the only one to choose Carly! Good job, brother. Watch your back, Chad . . .

AIFL
We're coming down to the wire now! Who's your bottom three? Is Brook's "stop and start" going to send her home? Is Jason Castro's "my mom made me sing this song" performance going to send him packing? Will there be some shocker, with one of the Davids going home, because everyone assumed they were safe and didn't vote this week?
Anything can happen when Andrew Lloyd Webber gets involved!!
Send in your picks for the bottom three and who you think's outta here, along with any changes to your top 8.

Wii Will Rock You
Happy birthday Wilson!
Our boy is six years old, and had a great birthday today. He got donuts for breakfast this morning, had his class sing happy birthday to him at school, and ate some awesome chocolate fudge cake. But, the highlight of the day is most definitely his big present: the Wii.
He's been hinting and angling for a game system for a while, and his cool grandma, Brett's mom, hooked him up with the birthday present of his dreams. It's going to be plenty of fun for the whole family. Here's the evidence--
Wii like it very much.
Wii will not fight over whose turn it is, will wii?
Wii will not start playing too young.
