I think Hell's Kitchen may be winding down? So maybe it'll be over to coincide with when auditions are over on SYTYCD?

HK needs to wind down. It is a terrible show. I'm ashamed that I still watch it.

TAR: Sushi Roulette may have been the best food challenge EVER. Not sick-making quantities, no hours of trying to finish, fun format, and a game show audience -- plus followed immediately by playing tour guide where you don't know where you're going.

Herding ducks was awesome, and at about the same level of difficulty as herding cats, really.

I'm feeling sorry for the yoga instructors, because they should have had the physical fitness needed to stay the course, which helps in the long run a whole lot. At least one of the screechy couples got knocked out.

LOVED Pinky and the Brain, the older couple, and the best friends. And actual Harlem Globetrotters! (I still miss the Clowns!) Want to kill the 'lawyer' who indeed doesn't seem all that bright.

Poker girls were not great players -- showing off some poor directional skills, plus they LOST some of their tourists. They got way lucky when it turned out they knew how to make pho/bao/whatever soup and had Actual Duck Experience, but that's the luck of the draw sometimes. I don't expect I'll be rooting for them to go all the way.

Good move on hiring the bus to leave early, because that caught the second group up -- as it turned out, they could have saved their money, since it turned out their destination was to a bunch point and all-night vigil, but still, you don't know when those are going to occur.

Yeah, but reading the clue almost always helps more.

kat perez, I was just reading your blog entry about last night's ep (so fun and so spot on, as usual!), and you nailed it with regards to Billy Bell being another Curt from Glee!! I knew he reminded me of someone. If he can just keep that swayback under control (like Nigel said, that's something he should have already gotten rid of if he's listened to his instructors), he'd be a gorgeous dancer and a sure thing for Top 20. Amazing lines.

I meant to post here about that very thing! Good times.

It seems pretty unlikely to me that someone would (successfully) try out for SYTYCD without any undergarments on, but anyway: [link]

Yeah, I noticed that while watching, and it's pretty clearly flesh-colored underpants (probably some dance-garment, not actually panties). I mean, really.

Dancers don't always wear panties, but they usually have a dance garment of some type! But I thought it was clear that the Janet Jackson incident was a case of JT tearing away something which had been rigged to rip off partially, but instead somehow got the whole thing. Like, an actual wardrobe malfunction.

Is the guy from the Miami ballet just going straight to Vegas, or will he have to audition again, do you think?
