Ellen knows that Paula isn’t really gone. She’s just a spastic seal clap away! And if we all spastically seal clap hard enough (and also maybe leave our medicine cabinets open) we’ll bring her back to life!

If there is such a thing as the opposite of American Idol, it’s Mad Men, which is my usual gig around here. And let me tell you, it’s a breath of fresh, tacky, spray-tanned air to change it up a little. These people can’t even define ennui, let alone give lengthy, artfully shot monologues about it, and for that I love them. Except Kara. I just really hate Kara. And remember how we thought Simon had no sense of humor? Well, it turns out he’s just never been around anyone funny before. Who knew?

It’s the first real singing episode, kind of! And the very first Ellen episode! After what seems like years and years of cross-country dreamcrushing, we still somehow have 181 eager contestants to get through. (That’s 157 dreams left to crush before we even have a top 24, for chrissakes.) But you can tell it’s getting serious, because the proceedings have moved to their official venue, the giant echoey featureless airplane hangar known as the Kodak Theater. And off we go!
