I feel like it has! But I'm not sure why. From the Quebec license plate, maybe. But why would I even talk about that? There's got to be something else -- maybe a family crest or something.

Just like Ponce de Leon and Rodeo drive :)

I guess if you can get away with a phrase like "laissez les bon temps rouler" you can get away with anything!

He reminds me of the young Harry Belafonte, but maybe even sexier.

He is yummy. And Harry Belafonte, yes. That's who he puts me in mind of. I would love to see him getting all Fosse with it. I also would like to know how and why he came to know about the happy face butt, not that this has anything to do with his dancing.

He did say that he roomed with Ryan during the Fosse tour, so he more than likely saw him sans clothes at some point.

TC: Good to know, re: pronunciation. What I loved most about that episode was how fanboyed out Tom & Gail were. I was thinking to myself that TC:M must have gained them some cred to get guests like this lot.

SYTYCD: Agree that the tapper was very cute. Love that smile. Lots of charisma. And I loved the nod he gave to dance history. That's the type of personality I like on this show because it's about dance.

I'm happy to see Ryan. He was the one I wanted on from last season, so I'm not having the Evan negative effect at the moment. I genuinely think he has more talent than his brother. But we shall see, I guess! They won't cast three tappers, though, for sure. Three contemporary dancers, no problem, but they'll feel like they've got to go all genre if it ends up being tappers.

Has anyone else noticed that all of the female dancers are attractive? I have not seen an unattractive female selected. You can't tell me that there aren't some busted up women who are good dancers out there (and I think that girls with long blond hair are more likely to get cast)

Once again, Max Silvestri at Eater SF cracks me up: [link]

Among other gems:

Mike is so excited that they enjoyed his taste of Crete that he makes fun of women in his mind to celebrate.

Oh god, it's so true.

My husband was curious why Padma didn't do the Quickfire. And I said, "Because Tom wanted to hang with Boulud?"

I did love how thrilled they all were to be at that table with Robouchon and the others.

I loved when Tom said he was nervous about just eating with them.
