"The Michael Phelps Diet" (Grade: C)
On the Michael Phelps diet you can eat 12,000 calories a day, and you won't look like Michael Phelps. Actually you'll die. There is a cameo from Jared Fogle of Subway diet fame at the end.
Overall this episode was okay, but I really think the show needs some changes. It just needs something to give it an extra spark. It's become too predictable and that is not what the show is supposed to be about.

Other than the opening Sarah Palin skit, this was one of the worst SNLs EVER! The writing was just awful, and god love him, Michael Phelps is a nice guy but totally out of his element (water). I've been a fan of SNL since the very first show -- through good times and bad -- and I really believe this one was the worst.

I agree, the show was very predictable and almost boring. I would score some of the scenes a little differently. For example the Space Olympics short was awful, in my opinion, where as the Gloves scene was far fetched but much more funny. SNL really has fallen from grace, its sad.

Bobby did great on Saturday. It's tough to make repertory but he's well on his way.
On another funny note, National Talk Like A Pirate Day is tomorrow, 9/19.
