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?

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.

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.

The conspiracy theorist in me thinks they're keeping Mollee and Nathan around for the teen viewers (and the teens who will buy tickets for the tour).

I had it throughout (ads too). It looked like it had been letterboxed, but vertically instead of horizontally, at least for me.

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.

Yeah, Mr. Buffalo Wings can STFU about other people being simple or unimaginitive.

TC: I wonder if the rumor that one of the obvious 4 were going home was a foiler to keep people interested or means that Jen is out after the elimination quickfire.

I was so happy to see Kevin win on TC! It'd be great to see him turn around and say, "In your face, Mike!" but he's too nice a guy to do that.

It's been demonstrated on this show time and time again that if the judges have a choice between pretty but boring/bad-tasting or yummy but not-too-attractive, they go with the good taste every time. And, that flavor balance was something that Kevin hadn't done before on the competition, so he was stepping outside his comfort zone.

SYTYCD - I thought the solos were awful. unsurprised Kevin is gone, understand why Channing is (loved her dress though) - do not think Karen and Vicktor are long for the show and hope that Mollee and Nathan get the boot soon.

I find it near impossible to figure out who is who in the group numbers, it looks like more dancers than there are on the show.

Biggest Loser - I know it's never really discussed here, but I need to say that I am in full hate-on of Rudy now. I think he has just gotten nastier and nastier and has big anger issues he needs to deal with.

It took me two watches of the group number to recognize *Russell* - you'd think being one of two black guys on the show, the only person with braids, and one of my favorites would have helped me, but no.
