I hate to break it to you, oh impotent one, but you're not the big bad anymore, you're not even the kind of naughty.

SYTYCD

This top 20 is half fabulous and half annoying. So many cute little black girls that I don't remember seeing at all before tonight. Oh, and losing the yellow shorts wearing ballet boy was baloney.

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

Seriously.

YAY CUTIEHEAD YOUNG GUY MADE IT (on SYTYCD)

"We have trust issues." Mylar

But it's annoying, giggly teen femslash. And the brown haired one? Noelle? Is just all kinds of no. You've been wanting this since you were three? To be on this show? That didn't exist when you were three? Right. I don't think I can take a season of those two. They sap my will to live. I might have to put Channing in that group if she continues to rock the black satin romper with black pumps. Why, god? Why? That outfit makes the baby Jesus cry.

I am insanely excited about Russell. And about Kevin Hunt. Cutieheads both.

We're very stretchy. - Connie Neil

I was happy with many of the choices on SYTYCD, but that's probably due to the fact that they didn't spend too much time on backstory for those who were cut. Loved the Phillip Attmore made it--we didn't see anything of him in Vegas, and I worried that I'd missed him being cut during the week.

And, Russell made it!! Love him soooo much already!

Mollie can go home first week. Even my mom, who's visiting and so was watching the tv with me but has never seen the show before, couldn't help but comment on the fact that she looks so young. Unless she can bring more maturity to the stage, so long, honey.

Shit's all sorts of different now.

Top Chef - I would really, really, just once, like to see a RW with a woman in front of house that doesn't lose her mind and freak the fuck out. As soon as Laurine said she was running FoH, I knew it was gonna be her.

Because books.

I'm trying to remember who else has done front of the house aside from Radhika.

The longer I think about it, the more the fact that Jen and Kevin and Mike I. decided to do both of each course's dishes seems so ridiculously stupid. Kevin looked really baffled when Tom asked how it didn't occur to any of them that that was going to backfire.

It's a lot of pressure, and a role that I really wouldn't like to do, but for fuck's sake. Either recognize that you aren't the best person for that job which has always been somebody's downfall.

Granted, I haven't watched all of the season's but has anyone gone home from RW because of the food? I only remember the FoH people leaving.


Amy - Oct 22, 2009 4:19:00 am PDT #11371 of 23273
Because books.

I think Dale went home for food.

I definitely couldn't do front of house. Hell, I couldn't even waitress. I would be a spectacular failure.

Oh, god, I haven't watched SYTYCD yet, but Ashleigh the married ballroom dancer made it in. I HATE that chick. Let's hope she goes home early.

Lotsa people we haven't seen yet, but MY RUSSELL I LOVES HIM.
