Got there mega early...Made new friends in the line... Taught some of the girls to play uno... Saw Elaine, Simon AND John walk in... We couldn't tell at first that it was John, but they all stopped at the security desk (by all I mean Gavin AND Scott)... He stood in front of the desk, and then he stepped over a bit. We all started to giggle, to which we went shhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh... Then we giggled again, and went shhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh again... He went to go up in the elevator and then turned around and waved at us (that's all I could make out without my glasses)...

So back to the line... It started getting busy around 4pm and then this huge group of people ascended on the vip line... Like literally 100 people went by us. Which even though we were trying to be calm, we started to freak... The American girls very wisely made sure that all of the people at the CBC knew they had driven 6 hours to get there. We saw Scott walk by randomly again too... There was talk of the general audience being taken to another studio to watch the feed of the show. And in the course of this, the executive producer came and ended up talking to us... Sheila Hockin (to any QAF people out there, she was *the* producer of that show), and I was the only one of the group that recognized her... I missed my chance to ask what the *fuck* Gale Harold was doing on Desperate Housewives... But oh well...

But we got through, were taken right upstairs, and then ran for the studio... And literally the 15 people that were in front of us (who were Janna's extended family), the five of us, the two behind us and another lady were let in the main studio and then they closed the doors behind us. I think two other people were squeezed in after, but that was all of the general audience line that they let in...

So of course, they came out... John in navy (yummy), Elaine and Simon... And the lord himself Andrew Lloyd-Webber... The judges were set up a little different and their seats were farther from the audience (we were sitting right behind them, so I could tell really easily). And of course Andrew had his special spot...

The show was good... I don't think I am completely over the girls workshop with John this past week... They were all giggling and all of us couldn't stop giggling the whole time the tape was on... John didn't look at a lot of the tape, but he did raise his head toward the end...

It was even funnier during the commercial break when James asked Janna's boyfriend what he thought about her kissing John, and he said I'm just glad that he plays for the other team... Then James went to Marisa's boyfriend and he threw down... We could only hear her boyfriend's side, cause John's microphone was off, but the gist was that he accepted...

The show went by really fast tonight, which was surprising considering there was only four performances, and then the girls did another group number...

The judges took off kinda fast... I was confused, because Gavin and Scott were still in the main studio...It turned out the judges went to the other studio to say hi to the rest of the audience... They apparently got copies of John's CD. We also Scott again outside when we were finally outside of the studio in the hallway upstairs.

We lingered and then we ended up waiting just by the entrance to the building... One of the audience coordinators came up to us and said that they were glad that the girls that drove 6 hours to see the show got in and that the executive producer (Sheila Hockin again!) went to them and said make sure that the girls got in...

So we talked to them and we lingered waiting for John... Literally everytime someone walked by we turned our heads, and my heart jumped...

Then Scott came out with a darkhaired woman from the other direction, and we were like which side is John coming from? I was going back and forth, but one of the girls said here he comes and I went "holy shit..." I freaked, but he asked about the girls that came 6 hours, and then the other girls got their Torchwood magazines signed, and I got my CD signed... He actually said thank you for buying it and I now have a personalized autograph... EEEEEEEEEEEEEEeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee.......... No picture, I realized tonight that I actually have three with him, and I thought another would be too greedy (I also now have my own of him with Andrew Lloyd-Webber)... One the ladies who was in front of us walked up and was like is that him? And she freaked too... And then we all started laughing again...

He waved at us one last time, we said thank you, he left and we collapsed...

Now I have to get bed and do it all again tomorrow..
