Agreeing with above comments on SYTYCD. They have this weird dichotomy they need to work out for themselves: they praise dancers who are well-trained (Travis, Danny, etc.), and they like to feign amazement when hip-hop/street dancers are well-trained (although aren't we supposed to be about celebrating good training?).
Add to this the inconsistent judging and it really is a mess. I hope Russell does well and makes it far because I really like him. They have some really strong, male dancers this year.
I've been trying to read into Jen's TC interview segments -- is she giddy because she's relieved to have been kicked off, or has she gotten her mojo back and is happy because she's in the finals after all?
Hard to say, Jesse. Interesting idea, though.
It's been hard to watch her the last two episodes -- she really does look like she's given up.
I hope she's gotten her mojo back!

Or seriously, seriously exhausted.
However, I'm hoping this explains a cryptic (at the time) comment Tom C. made in an interview about this season.
Did anyone see that crazy promo for that crazy Top Chef Reunion dinner? Cutting to Carla v. Casey? AWK-ward.
right?
I'm looking forward to it!
Me, too. And Fabio telling them to turn the camera off!
I had dinner at Bayless's new restaurant tonight, btw.
It was very very bad. And by bad I mean, it is on my way home from work and does take out, and I foresee unfortunate things for my disposable income. I also mean AWESOME.
Project Runway: Does
Christopher have incriminating photos of one of the judges
? I mean, seriously?
