I haven't seen SYTYCD yet, but Alex Wong + Billy Bell = Automatic win for dance fans everywhere. Lovely. Lovely. I want both of them in my men's top 5.
I was just mentioning to my mom on Wednesday that lots of these girls are pin thin. Like bone snappingly thin. I don't like it.
That hair girl is distractingly thin, but she doesn't look like she has an eating disorder to me. That looks like genetics.
I'm watching the Vegas week stuff now. Alex Wong holy shit. And Billy Bell, too.
Oh, Jordan. Work hard and come back, love. I'm rooting for you.
Yay Adechike!
I finally saw SYTYCD and all I can say is Alex Wong and Billy Bell. Those two are everything. I would watch a season of just the two of them dancing every week. And Anthony and Adechike only a tick behind. Alexie is really the only girl who is making a huge impression on me so far. Hair girl, I just don't get it. Not that she's terrible, but I'm not seeing the special thing that all the judges are seeing. And I don't find her to be too thin.
I enjoyed Toni on the panel. Hope they have her on more often. Tasty is back doing his best diva bitch. OK. Mary is back wearing crazy, backless, polka dot leotard dresses and just what the holy hell? And where is Miss Debbie Allen? Hmmmph.
Next Food Network Star: I still can't believe after all this season, that the hopefuls don't come up with a point of view ahead of time and don't practice with a video camera.
Get back to me when people going on Survivor learn to start a fire.
Seriously though. What are they thinking? And on this show, I doubt they're being recruited like the others. They went after this. How could they not plan a little?
Please pray for me. I'm watching "Last Comic Standing."
I cannot quit the show.
Finally got around to watching NFNS last night - they really are just begging for Top Chef to sue them, aren't they? (Though I can't tell if Giada is supposed to be Padma or Tim Gunn.)
Anyway, I was glad to see Alexis get the boot. He was so nervous the entire time it was making my skin crawl. And if Doreen can't manage to crack a smile, she can go next.
I can see why Dzintra was rejected three times - she really is wound up tight. But I also felt bad that the other contestants were so dismissive of her being sent to the ER - it would have been nice of the producers to step in and say "This was a call our medical team made, not Dzintra's choice."

ITA. I thought both the other contestants and the judges were very harsh on her considering that it didn't look like the medical person was giving her a choice.
