"We have trust issues." Mylar

Yeah, the minute after Nick won he was unmasked as a huge diva bitch and he's pretty much done nothing but shit talk the show since S1. He was a huge Travis fan and when he didn't win S2, Nick went on an absolute jihad against the Schwimmer clan. Some of the things he said about Lacey were just so incredibly foul. Yuck. He's beyond unpleasant.

I don't know, until the last paragraph, I agree with almost everything he says dance-wise.

"We have trust issues." Mylar

During her season, this was one of the nicer things Nick had to say about Lacey:

alrighty here it comes... due to popular demand im going to post my thoughts on lacey. i honestly was disgusted by her solo tonight. her dress was completely up her butt, she was touching herself every 3 seconds, she ended straddled on the floor, and looked trashy. i understand that shes a "good" performer but lets call a spade a spade the only reason shes on the show is cuz shes benjis sister. sorry its true. there are way more talented girl ballroom dancers in the world and she just happens to be from the blessed family i guess. there i said it. hate me if u want but its my opinion and everyone is entitled to it. just like last year travis should have won over benji. i understand its about americas "favorite dancer" but as a dancer i look at whos best and thats DANNY FRIGGEN TIDWELL!!! ok enough of my babble. just had to share some thoughts ttyl peeps!

Now, I was not a particular fan of Lacey and the solo he's talking about came off kind of hooch and I do think Danny should've won S3 (and Travis probably in S2 although that was closer)but to claim that the only reason she was on the show was because of Benji because she's just "not that good?" Eww. By any measure, she's one of the best ballroom girls they've ever had on the show and the fact that she's Benji's sister was actually a reason that they cited for potentially not putting her on the show. He's just shit talking here and it's nasty. And as I mentioned, this is one of the nicer things he had to say about her. And while he's being nice about Sabra here, when she beat Danny in the final, he got viscious.

I don't know. The only reason I even know who this fool is stems from his participation on SYTYCD, and it just rubs me the wrong way that he continually bad talks the show that made him a D-list personality. And truth be told, he beat out a far superior dancer in S1 (Blake) because of his "personality" and "likeability", so for him to down Benji for doing the same to Travis is the height of hypocrisy. If he thinks he's a better dancer than Blake, then he really needs to leave that crack alone.

So tired. Want to crawl in bed now. But tonight I saw Shankdaddy and Ms. Debbie Allen on SYTYCD together so I think I can die a happy woman. I love this show. That's all.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

Is it okay that I'm listening to Pandora playing Constantine Maroulis' cover of "Bohemian Rhapsody" and kind of liking it? I mean, it's a hell of a job to tackle that song.

He also cracked me up in "Rock of Ages" on the Tonys.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

So jealous of kat.

No shame, Dana!

Apparently on tonight's Top Chef, they have to cook for Zooey Deschanel and friends -- and she's a vegan who doesn't eat gluten or soy. Good times.

Jeanine just did her tribute to Janette.
