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.
The money was too good. I got stupid.

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.

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.

How does a professional cook not know what eggs Florentine is? Has he never eaten brunch??

Well, it was past time for Ron to go, though he seemed like a really nice guy.

Because he's too busy being a dick?

Possibly true.
I still love the Kevin, and thought Jen might not accept being in the top group because she didn't live up to her own standards, but she is too smart for that, and just took it.

God, I wish he would go home. I loathe him.
Ron seemed sweet, but he never impressed me.
I did feel a bit sorry for some of them, though -- if deconstruction is not something you've ever done, I can see it being pretty daunting.
