We're in love. We're ... lovers. We're lesbian, gay-type lovers.

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.

Bryan Gaynor made me cry.

Alex (the Miami City ballet guy) and Billy Bell! How awesome! I want to see both of those guys go through to the final five.

Because books.

Bryan Gaynor made me cry.

Did Nigel say he would put his crew on? I missed part of that.

He was really exquisite. And Billy Bell and Alex Wong were wonderful.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Yes he did.

How did that girl not realize how important hair-flinging is to this show???

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.

Is the kid who took Billy Bells' place last season haround this season? I don't think I saw him.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."

SHINY ALEX TOY!!!
 
I was unprepared for him to go up against Billy Bell, though. This ep was fraught, yo. I am glad the last kid made it through. I hope he kills Broadway.
 
Waaaay too skinny on that girl. And also are her palms and soles orange? My tv is weird sometimes. Also, hair-flinging bwah. So true.
 
So from the preview Iranian girl pulls out and Nigel gets pissed? I hope not; I liked her. But with only 5 dancers each, there is just not that much room. And yeah, Teddy had to go. I cannot believe he didn`t get other training in between.
 
Everyone! Study partnering! You have to pay attention to your partner`s body! Basic things, like how long their limbs are! Sheesh.

It looked that way on my TV, too.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

I'm gonna go against the group and say it was Jonathan's time to go on TCM. Nobody at the table was impressed by his chicken, and he made no attempt to integrate the avocado into the dish. (If this hadn't been the masters, he would have been ripped to shreds at judges' table for turning the key ingredient into a side salad.) He really hasn't had his heart in this competition for weeks now - every time we see him in the stew room he's been resigned to going home.

Rick is a PITA, but at least he's still attempting to put out competition-level food.
