Sir? I'd like you to take the helm, please. I need this man to tear all my clothes off.

We're very stretchy. - Connie Neil

Yay for new TAR!!

Jessica, is that task even better than carrying champagne glasses through a room full of waltzers from TAR4? That set the standard for cool tasks, IMO.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

IMO, yes.

"We have trust issues." Mylar

Oh, I am very excited about the TAR news. I got my mom hooked on TAR last season and she accosted me on Sunday demanding to know when it was coming back. We both need a TAR fix.

SYTYCD auditions: The 6'8" kid is so cute! But that is a lot of long, lanky body. Being that tall is almost never a plus unless you play basketball or people you know have a lot of really high shelves.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

OK, now that they've told us Russell the crumper has training in every style ever, will they turn him back into the wunderkind who magically is good at other things, even though he's a crumper?

And that 6'8" kid is only 18! No wonder he's awkward! Shit.

"Cry havoc and let slip the boobs of war!" -- Miracleman

It seems to me that we are getting WAY too much time on the judges and not enough on the dancing. I don't need to see Nigel's expressions or hear Mary's random comments.

Tyce was a complete asshole to the last guy. He didn't do contemporary because his hip hop was his strength, dickwad. Tyce has started smelling himself and it needs to stop.

Also, how much money did the Black Eyed Peas make on this show? I swear I heard Boom Boom Pow at least three times.

Haven't watched yet, but one could not possibly cast a 6'8" guy on this show. Six feet is toweringly tall for a dancer! Imagine him with Jeannine (5'2")!

Fucking Toby Young is back on Top Chef. Can we nuke this fucker from orbit once and for all? It's the only way to be sure.
