His denial about Colby is, as usual, adorable (theirloveissopure).

I think this is the best part:

For the record, my niece most definitely could have beat James in a foot race. I just didn’t want to push the point for fear of him hobbling across tribal council with that bad attitude and messed-up knee, and thoroughly kicking my ass. Cause that’s something James could definitely do, even with two bad legs.

Did anyone else notice Boston Rob walking with one hand in front of him and one hand over his groin while doing the immunity challenge. Made me laugh, but very smart.

I didn't see Coach his first time around, but I'm curious why he's on the villain team. He seems to be all about honor and integrity, which would seem to put him on the other team. Although the Heroes are so messed up. It's hard to believe they have all played the game before.

ANTM: I'm going to have to rewatch it to get the last half-hour - I didn't realize they were going 90 minutes and so I missed a lot of the makeovers (tears! angst!). I did catch some of the attitude coming in to play right off, though!

I can't really explain, but I did see his first season and putting him with the Villains makes perfect sense to me.

Coach talks a big noble game, but he's really a selfish, short-sighted lying tool.

ABDC: As much as I like Saltare, I fear that they won't last much longer before being voted off. I don't think the judges are going to keep giving them a pass on fumbling their tasks just because they're awed by the rope work.

ABDC: In agreement. Our band leader loves, loves Saltare and I'm sure he will gush about the Ropes! On Fire! But I am beginning to feel like they keep pulling out tricks to avoid the painful fact that they can't dance. Don't get me wrong. I think they're amazing for what they do, but I don't think what they do is the ABDC thing.

Also, I miss b-boys.

I was not too traumatized by the vote-offs this round, although I liked the one team, I couldn't disagree too much with their ouster. I was also not all that impressed by the routines this round. Tyler's step crew on Taking the Stage (what? It's on right next to ABDC.) was better than these crews.

I really do not get the Heroes tribe on Survivor at all. Their strategy seems to be "Let's vote off all the awesome people and be left with a bunch of jackholes like Rupert and James, who is now lame and therefore has lost the one thing he had going for him that made him of any use to anyone at all. Oh yeah, and let's keep the annoying, clueless girls around, too. We're sure to win that way." As brought up in TWOP's recap, why didn't the two factions just band together and vote out the wishy washy, thoroughly untrustworthy, and oh yeah also past winner, JT? Because they are stupid, that's why. Thank god for the Villains team.

I didn't see Coach's season all the way through, but I'm enjoying him tons more here than what little I did see of him the first go round. Maybe because he's such a whipping boy for everyone and he doesn't even get how ridiculous he is. Sandra's "What the fuck?" face during the faux chi was priceless.

I liked the winning look on PR, but didn't love any of them, really. Seth Aaron's seemed the most interesting and innovative. I also liked Mila's look more than I have in a while,and of course the judges hated all over it. I agree that this season is not setting the world on fire.

Haven't seen ABDC yet, but it sounds like Saltare is suffering from the curse of all the gimmick crews. I don't know why they keep putting them on the show.

I miss SYTYCD more than anything. I'll be happy when it comes back. And yay for Top Chef Masters, too.
