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?
Right. Piano. Because that's what we used to kill that big demon that one time. No, wait. That was a rocket launcher.

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.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.
I was totally thinking Tommy Tune, and was surprised no one mentioned him, like it was literally impossible to be a tall dancer.
I loved, loved Russell Ferguson. He was amazing. I can't believe they made him do choreography.
Yes. This is entirely because Nigel has an irrational hate-on for krumping. It makes me really question his judgment when he couldn't tell how good Russell was.
Also? I HATE Tyce, so much.

Oh, Tasty was out of control tonight. The way he went off on that last hip hop boy? I don't even think so. I mean, that kid was not the be all and end all of hip hop, but they have put far more questionable contestants straight through to Vegas before, so Tasty can stuff it. And what was up with just letting one rip at the judges table while he was kicking up his heels? Nigel and Mary put up with way more from him than is warranted.
Isn't Tasty supposed to be Broadway guy? How come he didn't come up with the Tommy Tune reference? Oh, right. Tommy Tune was never in Chicago. Ugh. And next week we get Atlanta and Lil C. I love Lil C, but he has needed a time out for a while now.

Jessica, I'm beginning to think that TC doesn't exist in your particular pocket of the space-time continuum.
I loved, loved Russell Ferguson. He was amazing. I can't believe they made him do choreography.
He was unbelievable.

I kind of want to know what Bravo did to piss off Cablevision. Or Scientific Atlanta.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
I had a weird dream with a lot of reality tv people and a lot of drama that doesn't bear discussing, but for some reason Tyce was plucking my eyebrows for me.
