I don't remember the judges commenting on Laurine's dish at all.
I think hers was the lamb the Kevin was cooking inconsistently.
Mike V.'s offer was awesome and generous.
He offered to split his $10,000 winner reward with the team. Which led to that odd kerfuffle with his brother about "professionalism".
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.
This, and they cut girls that were obviously better than her! (I'm thinking of the girl they accused of having empty eyes.) The whole "growth" thing was total bullshit, if she only did broadway well. Goddamn her bitchface mess, but OTOH, her naked bitchiness is sort of funny.
I'm really happy to see Russell in the top 20. Nigel had better not pair him with Ashleigh. I'm going to have to print out a copy of the top 20 and start shuffling them around to see if I can guess any pairs.
I wish there were heights posted. They do a lot of height-based pairing in the first set, especially with anyone who is unusually-heighted.
There are great photos at [link] Evil Ashleigh in white lace leggings, it is to puke. And so many generic cutie-pants contemporary girls.
Bryan Voltaggio's restaurant Volt is having a Poe-themed evening - you can see the menu at the site.
(Well, you can - for some reason I'm having difficulty bringing it up - I assume it's the same acrobat problem I've been having for some time now.)
I actually like Bryan better. Except for the offer to split the $$, Mike seems like a bit of a jerk. It's like he is over-compensating or something.
SYTYCD news (this season sounds like it is going to be a clusterfuck.
First, they are going to have a finale with the final 6 (not the final 4) because they don't want to air too close to xmas. Now, we find out that because of baseball, the first two weeks there will be no results show and the judges will do the cutting.
I'm much more excited about the guys on SYTYCD this season than the girls. I love Billy and Russell, Nathan's good, too and Legacy could either be really brilliant or crash and burn big time, but it will be exciting to watch! The only girl I'm interested in is Bianca, the rest can go home.
Those pictures remind me of one reason Ashleigh seems so obnoxious: she's a mouth-breather! You never see her without her mouth hanging open!
Oh, and LEGACY. SERIOUSLY?!
I really like Elanore, she looks like she has a lot of personality and I loved her solo it was funny and told a story. I really cant' wait to see her in choreography.
SYTYCD: I'm already annoyed by FOUR out of the ten girls. That's definitely not a good sign - the one who cries and goes high pitched, Ashleigh and the two "bestest friends and omg!they're going to make us go last because we're so close and it would kill us to be torn apart!"
As for the guys, the only one I fear is Legacy. I have fears that he's the next Evan - he'll struggle with other styles, but have the teen vote.
LOVE Russell and Billy! I'm nervous about the pair ups!
