Mitchell is kind of a dick, frankly. He messed up the shorts. Usually bad execution is the kiss of death, but the other outfit was just so unflattering that they had to get rid of it. At least with Mitchell's outfit, they saw what he was going for, and would have appreciated it if it was done well. Concept guy was just a big mess.

And to think, if not for Tim's calming influence, that poor model would've been in jodhpurs so that her bottom half could look like chicken thighs. Really? I definitely think the right person went home, but if Mitchell drags Ra'Mon down into the B3 again next week, I will cut him.

The Qristyl/Epperson drama looks delicious. My money is on Qristyl in that one.

Shrin's win was deserved. I would buy that coat in a heartbeat. I really loved Irina's again this week. I feel like she is not getting her props. I would not have had Althea's look among the top 3. That bodice was a nip slip waiting to happen.

That coat is awesome.

so...ummm. SYTYDCism on on twitter mentioned they'd like to see Nick Lazzarini as a guest judge on the next season of SYTYCD. i responded saying: "the same @nicklazzarini that's badmouthed the show since he won? no thanks. i'd rather see @blakemcgrath." this morning i load tweetdeck and this pops up. i'm not sure he and i have the same definition of "badmouthing".

Shirin's dress and coat were beautiful. Like Rebecca said, pregnant or not, I'd wear that. The handwork along the waistline was just gorgeous.

The bird's nest thing was horrifying. I said to S. as soon as the model walked out that it looked like she'd had the baby and was wearing a sling. And Mitchell is just a mess -- cute concept or not, look at those shorts beside what Shirin accomplished in the same time. You need to be able to SEW, people.

ooooh! y'all are going to be mortal enemies!

Oh my gosh, tiggy, that's awesome!

Why is Nick such a ridiculous diva? Like this show has ever been some bastion of artistic integrity. 19E shows are always more about TV than about art. Yes, even on SYTYCD season one. If the show had really been about rewarding America's best dancer rather than America's favorite dancer, Blake McGrath would've been your SYTYCD season one champion.

Totally agreed that I wouldn't want to let Nick anywhere near the judges table on the show. Blake would be excellent, but I think he's all tied up with SYTYCD Canada. Of former contestants, I'd love to have Travis on panel, especially now that he's also choreographing for the show.

PR: I was pretty surprised by the boot, but am happy to see it happen. That guy just thought way too much of himself.

I thought there was a pretty high level overall, although I need to watch the fashion show again because I barely saw some of the outfits, they went by so fast. The top 3 gown was gorgeous, but the top would definitely be a problem for someone with pregnancy boobs.

TC: Love this guy's commentary: [link]

haha! i'm rather shocked he bothered to say anything to me, actually. he must not get a lot of @ replies.

ever since i saw his reply, i've been sitting on my hands so i DON'T say this. i'm waffling on whether or not to reply at all.

Also, re TC, does anyone else find it weird that, if you win the quickfire challenge you get immunity and $15,000, but if you win the big challenge, you get nothing?
