I've seen Baryshnikov doing "Push Comes to Shove" (a Tharp piece) and he was amazing. Saw someone else do it ... and they didn't have his speed.
See, Vera? Dress yourself up; you get taken out somewhere fun.

A dress should be tight enough to show you're a woman but loose enough to flee from zombies. — Ginger
I for one am VERY Happy to see Scott leave Hell's Kitchen; soooo arrogant and cocky, and really couldn't seem to cook.
And if he had said "No one has fine dining experience like I do..."" one more time.....UGH.
SHUT UP SHUT UP SHUT UP!
Fran fucked up choosing Nilka, for sure, but I think Nilka then acted like a big fucking baby about it.

I agree with everything you said, especially re Scott, especially re "No one has fine dining experience like I do...".
Show don't tell, mega-douche.

Yes, but Autumn was a QUIET smirkosaurus. Scott ... if he were half as good as he thinks he is - and said he is - he'd be a lot better than he actually was.

There are always people who talk about how great they are, what a marvelous cook, a born leader, etc. ... and those are always the ones who are sent home as inept (still maintaining they're the greatest thing since sharp knives).

My satellite is not playing nice tonight! It messed up the the Paso and almost blitzed the Alex number!

Because books.
Wow, Alex can kick, can't he?
One thing I love about SYTYCD? The way the judges are pointing Alex to particular Fosse routines he could use to improve. So different than something like Project Runway or even Top Chef where no resource materials are allowed.
Although maybe I'm misunderstanding and they're not allowed to do that NOW? Still, it's so helpful, and so in the spirit of encouraging these dancers to be everything they can be. I love that.

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.
Can I have Allison's dress? Kthxbye.
