I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

I like disco, but Nathan and Molli didn't nail this one. I liked their costumes, though.

(psst, do you mean Fever, Amy?)

I'm with Amy. I was one of those people who practiced my disco with all my buds out behind the student lounge and danced in discos with names like 2001 Oddessey on Friday and Saturday night. It's just fun! It has a place in my heart that nothing can surplant.

I will miss Billy, but we still have some excellent male dancers. I really haven't narrowed it down yet to who I like best, but I think right now I like Viktor, Jakob, Ryan, Russell and Philip.

The women I'm really not nuts about. I think Bianca's got potential. I like Karen, a lot. Much better than Ashleigh. Ellenore is someone to watch. Otherwise, I think most of them are very, very young and aren't really ready for this show. And Ashleigh is only good at looking hot. Her part in hers and Jakob's dance was mainly posing, he did all the work and danced rings around her. I seriously want her off that stage.

Because books.

Oops. What -t said, yeah.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Top Model, anyone? Apparently these girls are too short to get passports....

OMG, AND they are dressing up as different races. Good lord, Tyra.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.

Russell wasn't really in the bottom 2. God knows why they put him in there (more pimping?) but he wasn't in danger. They know he's a big favorite right now, and I think he's received more camera time than any other dancer. They've even gone to the trouble of completely whitewashing his significant dance training a la Joshua. (Or is it krumpwashing?)

90% of the dancers think of it as "oldies", the way we think of calliope music.

Isn't this true of most of the dance styles, though? Waltz, foxtrot, jive, two-step, broadway? I like the disco, though. It may be a bunch of tricks, but it's fun to watch, and it reveals the weak dancers.

Russell *thought* he was in the bottom two, though. It was in his face, and the way he danced. He was *pissed.*

That's why I felt bad for Brandon -- it felt like adding insult to injury.

I was pretty sure that he said that he had been trained in other styles when he auditioned, but when he was asked in Vegas, he said that he didn't have any other training. Maybe to give himself a better chance?

If you're going through hell/keep on going/don't slow down/keep your fear from showing/you might be gone/'fore the devil even knows you're there

Well, there's some Top Chef dinner conversation you don't expect to see.

Padma, Tom and Natalie Portman (plus unnamed friend) riffing on blow-jobs.

What is going on with my girl Jen? I think she's done. Emotionally, if not according to the judges tonight.
