Played with Kaylee. Sun came out, and I walked on my feet and heard with my ears. I ate the bits, the bits stayed down, and I work. I function like I'm a girl. I hate it because I know it'll go away. The sun goes dark and chaos has come again. Bits. Fluids. What am I?!

Shit's all sorts of different now.

So I totally misread who went home on TC:LV and now I'm pissed!! It should have been the other one similarly named.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.

Survivor: But I love that Shambo KNEW chickens, TALKED to chickens and yet could not control the selfame chickens. Doofus. Or as we say in my house for the female version of the term, Doofa.

I also liked seeing more of Galu this time.

Seriously - who doesn't know chickens can fly??? I mean, maybe she was assuming their wings had been clipped, but what she said was "I didn't know they could fly."

Because books.

PR: I was on the phone the whole time, so only half watching, but damn. Epperson, really?! What the hell was that? I had a horrible 1984 flashback to Jessica McClintock and GunneSax.

I'd completely forgotten that Jeff has a blog!

HOST-LESS CHALLENGE INSIGHT – We have talked about doing something like this for a long time. A challenge in which nobody is there. Nobody tells them anything. We just watch to see what they do. This was a major experiment. How would it work without having me there to moderate and oversee everything? And for the record, I wasn’t hiding in the bushes, “just in case.” When we commit, we commit. I was back in my tent reading an old copy of Rolling Stone. Poor Michael Jackson.

And as you saw, the host-less challenge worked so well CBS is probably figuring out how they can do a “Host –less Tribal Council” as well! Hope not. I have not yet paid off my mortgage.

"We have trust issues." Mylar

Oh traveling for work, how I don't love you at all. Throwing off my SYTYCD watching. Can I just say that I am still loving me some Iveta? She and her scary cheekbones are just fun. I still don't think she's the best ballroom girl they've had on the show even if she is a world champion. (That would still be Lacey. As much as I loved Marksie, Lacey was a better all around dancer, IMHO) And I still think she looks quite long in the tooth, but with all of the SYTYCD alums on DWTS these days, I figure there's got to be a place for her, right?

But I want to take about Russell. Russell, Russell, Russell. He was all world, y'all! I knew that any dancer with that much body control was bound to be able to rock other styles. I am so hoping for the break down scene to be a fake out, because I want that kid on the show. He's AH-mazing. And he made Shankdaddy happier than school girl with freshly done hair on class picture day.

Caught up on PR. Surprised to see Epperson gone instead of Logan, actually - Epperson's was fugly, but at least it didn't look like it was held together with scotch tape. (I'm sure his "this challenge was confusing!" attitude didn't help, though.) Logan's outfit was ugly and badly made.

Christopher needs to pull it together and start making clothes that look like clothes instead of art projects. He's clearly got talent, but he needs to step back and actually think about people wearing his garments.
