Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
I bet you'll have another chance to see it....

To understand what happened at the diner, we shall use Mr. Papaya! This is upsetting because he's the friendliest of fruits.
TC: Hey, look! It's the final four EVERY SINGLE PERSON WATCHING THIS SHOW predicted! In fact, this spoiler font is more used in irony than it is out of courtesy to the people who've not yet watched the show!
(Not that I disagree, of course.)

"We are the Goon Squad and we're coming to town...Beep! Beep!" - David Bowie, "Fashion"
While I won't miss Eli, I almost wanted Mike to go home more with his incredibly condescending comments about Kevin's cooking. And I was pretty sure Mike and Eli were the two most likely to go. Oh well.
Mike V. is the only one I absolutely don't want to win at this point. Any of the other three are fine by me.
Sadly, that pretty much guarantees he'll be there until the bitter end.

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."
I agree Franken. I really loathe Mike. Here's hoping that he will have seen the light after watching himself on tv. I hope he is better in the finale.

The SYTYCD solos have made me homicidal. I would send all of them home.

Trying to avoid looking at the TC comments:
I loved how Nigel made sure to tell us up-front that their decisions are not about the solos, because Karen's was totally for shit.
This. At least do a shitty ballroom solo.
But also: I don't care if he's never seen a handspring whatever it was, that's NOT DANCING. I mean, seriously. Effing Mollee.
And this. I'm happy they saved Karen, but I am very over their over-praising of Mollee and Nathan.
I actually think Victor/Karen could be interesting.

Did anyone else have a weird screen aspect ratio at the beginning of SYTYCD?

Since it was obvious that Kevin was going home, Victor/Karen was the only possible pairing. Kevin leaving totally saved Mollee's bacon. America's just gonna have to do the job that the judges were too chicken to do and bounce that annoying tween twit out on her ass at the first opportunity come top 10.
Still steaming over the ludicrously bad solos on display tonight. Three "reach out plaintively" moments in a row? Really, Victor? Really?

I wanted her to go home just for the wet look legging with zippers
She may be dancing like a woman, but she's dressing like a 13 year old.
I'm sad that Kevin went home. He had a kick ass solo, but he the other two are just stronger dancers. Plus, he is not comfortable with the partner work. I think that he's scared of letting his partner down, because he is terrific in the group numbers and when he has his own moves in the routines. I loved him, and wanted him to go farther, but I knew it was not meant to be. He might have gone further had he not had such strong competition.
