I was a little bit confused about how it's going to be different from the original version of What Not to Wear, which was theirs, right? But I did mean to watch it and just forgot.
Also apparently missed the Brian Boitano thing, which I am dying to see.
I've not heard anything about a new Trinny and Susannah show--what channel is it on and when?
It was on right after the new WNTW, i.e., 10pm Friday.
It was a little bit like the non-traditional WNTW's they started to do at the end of their BBC run, where they sort of live with the person a bit. That's the part I don't love. I learned so much about colors and shapes in their early shows, and now there's a lot more psychology to it.
Like the American WNTW, especially recently, it's very unhelpful to my own life.
SuziQ, I thought of you on Friday--this week's WNTW was a woman from Denver!
Yes, she was....I saw that one. That was an amazing transformation too. I'd love to have them do me. My clothes are a mix of "oh, this fits, I hope it looks ok".
Thank goodness Big Brother finally had a segment about how Jeff is so hot! I was starting to think it was just me.
Man ABDC is not that great tonight. A warning to you all.
The moments I've enjoyed the most had nothing to do with the dancing (the guy from Vogue Evolution being told to stop the meowing noises, and JC being reduced to babbling).
It was a mess. This is one of the times I really don't like their elimination process. The judges said the last two were the best of the night, while some of the "safe" teams got horrible feedback. Even so, they still had to eliminate out of the two best.
Nice to see Southern Movement in something other than matching western wear and straw cowboy hats.
This is the sorriest group of crews that ABDC has ever had, for sure. I agree with Shane that none of them have done anything yet that made me say "Wow!" And the judges were totally right that the final two crews gave the best performances. In fact, I think Southern Movement was far and away the best of the night, with Massive Monkeys second and Rhythm City third. All the rest of the crews were boring or garbage or both. I'm so glad SYTYCD will be back in another couple of weeks.
I have to add that I'm also bugged by the props thing. Either all the teams should have to work with one, or none. If a team chooses to add a prop on their own fine. But having one team this week and two teams last week assigned to work with props seemed to put them at an unfair disavantage. Notice - of those three teams that had to work with props, two have been eliminated.
