Yes, it's terribly simple. The good guys are always stalwart and true, the bad guys are easily distinguished by their pointy horns or black hats, and, uh, we always defeat them and save the day. No one ever dies, and everybody lives happily ever after.

YAY for the first dance that was amazing. Especially the end!

Too bad this is the finale, we really needed more shirtless Ryan on the show. Unf.

Really liked the Russell and FP piece. At least, loved Russell and FP didn't make me hate her.

I loved the Ryan and Ellanore piece! and it was interesting and different and also Ryan looked like he was trying to look vacant and Ellanore just was vacant.

Okay over all the show seems rushed. Kathryn and Jakob were amazing!!

So - I don't know exactly what Gordon Ramsey's new cooking show on Fox is all about (it says he's cooking a three course meal and encouraging folks at home to do the same or something), but Allyson Hannigan is one of the guests tonight.

OMFG! I almost don't care who wins! They are all really bringing it tonight!

As long as Ashleigh & Ryan DON'T win, I mean.

um.

I did not think Russell could get hotter and then hot damn.

There are actual fucking flames on the screen behind him. I don't know who that woman is dancing with him. All I see is Russell and FLAMES.

Damn what a nice chest.

It's hard to choose, tonight! I've really loved all the dances, pretty much. I don't think either Ryan or his FP really belong there, though they've really picked up on other styles, but the other four are just head and shoulders above them. I don't care which of the four wins, I love them all.
