We were talking about this at home, and decided that we could both see how Robin would get annoying under those circumstances. But Eli is just mean, and that's unforgivable. There's an air of passive-aggressiveness and entitlement about him that's just plain off-putting.
Agreed, but Mike I's "grandma's got to go" was far, far worse. Even more than the crowing Eli did, IMO. I was glad to see Bryan give a bit of a disgusted look at that one. And also happy to see Kevin trying to say something nice about Robin earlier in the show. He's definitely a class act.
Mike I.'s taunting with the "Rotten Robin" really got to me. So grade-school.
They couldn't check in without the passport because the leg is not considered to be complete if you're missing travel documents or a clue. Keeping track of that stuff is part of the race.
I get that, I just wish I knew that rule existed before last night. Is there a routine check they go through? If there is, since they were allowed to check in, I assume its post-mat. Wasn't there someone who lost their passport before? Or am I misremembering?
TAR: Basically, I was sad to see that team go.
NICA: Interesting challenge, although I wonder about the "popularity" of these national foods. I sure as hell have never heard of people eating coxcombs in France.
However, to segue to TC, I have eaten many rillettes in my time and I wonder if the chefs have ever eaten what most people serve as rillettes, because, yeah, the texture's not great and it sort of looks and smells like cat food. So does a lot of pâté.
ION, I screwed up my taping of SYTYCD last night. Is that on the FOX site, or Hulu? I don't care too much about auditions, is it worth seeking out?
I agree that Robin could get annoying in that situation and also that the other contestants are just taking it too far - plus - she's younger than I am! Mike I just needs to go and so does Eli.
The top 4 vs. the bottom 3 fell out the way that I thought it would. I do hope that none of this week's top 4 get messed up in Restaurant Wars. (It looks like a Brothers V team vs. Kevin and Jen. That could be excellent.)
so it appears that Mia Michaels has resigned from SYTYCD.
SYTYCD: Loved last night!! Someone over at TWOP said what I was thinking about Russell and his real level of training/non-training, that he probably originally thought he had some training after picking up a few classes here and there, but after talking with his fellow dancers in Vegas, rethought his definition of "training" to be intensive study. Either way, I'm just delighted that he's still there and still dancing terrifically.
Also nice to see other hip-hoppers doing well in the other styles! Here's hoping we get some good hip-hoppers instead of the Phillip type (good in his style, bad in others).
Great to see Phillip Attmore (tapdancer, young Belafonte lookalike) still around!! I've been hoping to get more backstory on him, but nada so far. I'm keeping my fingers crossed that he makes it to the final 20, as well as Bianca and the oh-so-cute girl with the adorable bob and lively face (cannot remember her name for sure--Eleanor??). She was really impressive in the Sweet Charity number (speaking of, can Tyce rip off Fosse any more?).
it appears that Mia Michaels has resigned from SYTYCD.
I'm trying to decide if I'll miss her. I certainly think they need to get some fresh faces in for choreography.
so it appears that Mia Michaels has resigned from SYTYCD.
Whoa!! Really? Any reason given why?
