Hey, I've been in a firefight before! Well, I was in a fire. Actually, I was fired from a fry-cook opportunity. I can handle myself.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.

Mike I is just the world's biggest ass, isn't he?

Interesting about Ivetta--did they say the bit about her being a world champion yesterday, and I missed it, or was that a new bit of info today?

I didn't hear it yesterday.

Did they say she was a ten-dance champion? Does that mean she does standard and latin? Or something else?

Sort of, except I used to give my sister a hard time because she couldn't stand her mother-in-law (a commenter just like Robin), and once we overlapped taking care of the kids and I lasted about 10 minutes before I wanted to kill her.

BTW, Iveta is no joke:

I recognize Gherman too. They are #2 in the world in 10 dance, and #1 in USA.

I'm not sure why she is on SYTYCD because of all the people shown this season, she needs this show the least.

information libertarian

Maybe she loves it! A lot of the dancers seem to just really love the opportunity to dance and grow in other styles. One of the things I love about the show is how much the dancers just LOVE DANCING.

The other thing I love about this show is Russell. He is totally my favorite at this point.

Because books.

Top Chef: I keep wondering if they're giving Robin a kind of Carla edit. She featured in the show a lot last night for someone who wasn't really in trouble, in the end.

LOVED Jen pulling it out in the elimination challenge, but paired with Kevin I didn't really doubt it.

Shit's all sorts of different now.

I really want Kevin to win. I love him muchly. He's one of the first male chefs that is really good and *isn't* a total tool.

I love Kevin, too. But I would be happy if Jen or either of the brothers V. won, too, on sheer talent.

To understand what happened at the diner, we shall use Mr. Papaya! This is upsetting because he's the friendliest of fruits.

Mike I is just the world's biggest ass, isn't he?

Oh, no. I think Eli is beginning to give Misogyny Mike a run for his money. In fact, if I had to get rid of just one of them right now, I suspect I'd go with Eli. This surprises me a little.

I love Kevin, too. But I would be happy if Jen or either of the brothers V. won, too, on sheer talent.

Yeah, I'm squarely in Jen's corner right now, but if it comes down to these four, it's going to be a hell of a finale.
