Wash: Well, I wash my hands of it. It's a hopeless case. I'll read a nice poem at the funeral. Something with imagery. Zoe: You could lock the door and keep the power-hungry maniac at bay. Wash: Oh, no, I'm starting to like this poetry idea now. Here lies my beloved Zoe, my autumn flower, somewhat less attractive now she's all corpsified and gross...

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

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.

Following up on Liese's whitefont,

Ida left because she has been named as a US Presidential Scholar and was committed to going to the ceremony to get her medal from the President. The list is here: [link]

so, suck it, Nigel.

I assume Nigel's yelling is the promo people and that it's in reaction to something else.

Jess, I agree re: Jonathan. He got screwed in the challenge assignments, but I thought he could have gone long ago.

If you're going through hell/keep on going/don't slow down/keep your fear from showing/you might be gone/'fore the devil even knows you're there

Jess, I agree re: Jonathan. He got screwed in the challenge assignments, but I thought he could have gone long ago.

Yes to both of this.

Because books.

I think Jonathan was really weary the last few weeks. But he was Obi-Wan! I liked him so much personally, but he really did sort of give up on this challenge.
