I was talking about Mike I. Toby took some getting used to, but I think he's toned it down. I much prefer Gail or Ted, though.

I was talking about Mike I.
I know, and I agree. I was just venting because I was REALLY not happy to have Toby back, though I knew it was coming.

Because books.
I love Michelle Bernstein, though. And she smacked Toby good in the accent discussion!
I want to write in and ask that they ban scallops from all future Quickfires, forever and ever.

That 6'8" dude will be so much better once he learns what to do with his upper body. From the waist up, he was a disaster. From the waist down? Heaven. He could be the next Tommy Tune.
I loved, loved Russell Ferguson. He was amazing. I can't believe they made him do choreography. Anyone with that much body control will be able to turn it out in other styles. I also thought Channing was delightful and that beautiful boy with the dreads, Kimara, was stunning. The husband and wife salsa dancers were not really all that great, but the wife really has a spark. She's a firecracker. Her butt is wild. Damn. I hated Gene, the wannabe sex machine, but I'll be darned if he can't dance his butt off. Same goes for the first plaid pants kid, Teddy. I can objectively admit that he is a first rate dancer with amazing control and great musicality, but I am tired of him already and he's only been on my screen for about five minutes. I don't think I can take a season full of him.

Well if ugly pants guy can't do anything else, we'll find out in Vegas.

He could be the next Tommy Tune.
Just what I was thinking. And it's a delightful thought.

I will certainly hope that plaid pants gets taken out in Vegas, but they've been pimping him non-stop since last season, so I think there's a good chance he'll make the show. And that will make me sad, but I need a good contestant to hate.
Tommy Tune is, indeed, delightful. I really hope that kid continues to train and finds success as a dancer. But he'll still be all wrong for this show. Who would they pair him up with?

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.
Also, the assigned dishes seemed so random--fish & chips vs. mole negro vs. reuben?

Allyson and I were playing a "How would we deconstruct the dishes" game. It was kind of fun. I'm almost tempted to try deconstructing clam chowder this weekend.

The little salute to Mattin was pretty cute.
