"Cry havoc and let slip the boobs of war!" -- Miracleman

Damn, Anya's core is amazing -- the way that she held that backbend while he got in position was INCREDIBLE.

um, were courtney and jose supposed to be dancing together? or was just really bad directing in that they just concentrated on Jose?

Robert's piece was amazing. beautiful choreography, well danced.

wow, Kent was awesome! And i didn't hate Tasty's choreography, shocker.

I agree with Mia, Robert wasn't masculine in the disco routine.

Top Chef: I'm disappointed that Tim is gone, but just because I liked him. His food seemed lacking, though.

I was hoping that Andrea would go home. Mostly because I don't like her. but, she didn't know what a minestrone was, she didn't cut her vegetables the same size, this is really basic shit.

Work of Art:

glad that Eric called Miles' shit out about his acting. It was clear that his "OCD" and his "being overwhelmed" bit went away when they would become a detriment.

Also, Peregrine needs to grow up. Sometimes people are unhappy with you. sometimes they yell. That's no reason to be "scared"

Okay, Eric might have been wronged in the challenge, but he was a dick at the end. All he had to say was goodbye. It was interesting that we never got the perspective of the other team members in an interview.

Because books.

Work of Art annoyed me tonight. I was underwhelmed by both pieces. And I agree with you about Eric, Vortex.

Nicole exclaiming "Mother of pearl!" was amusing, though.

Top Chef: There are just so few people I like this season. And the skill level does seem low after last season. I keep hoping when the numbers go down, I'll have picked a few favorites but right now I could not care less.

Danger is my middle name, only I spell it R. u. t. h. - Tina Belcher.

TC: It's like they need to cull the herd before it's worth watching.

WoA: Eric was in over his head from the beginning but his calling them out on their Art school bullshit was worth it.

SYTYCD: Anya is just magnificent, but even she could not save that jive!

"Oh no! Has falling sky liquid once again caused you the sadness?" -Starfire

The music was HORRIBLE for the jive! I honestly don't think anyone could have made a jive look good to that!

I can't believe how much I'm starting to like Lauren. Once she got that plastic smile off her face, I started noticing that she can actually dance!

Boogie Shoes was awesome! I really hope Billy Bell sticks around because he finally seems to be progressing. I'd like to see him get another contemporary.

Dominic really outdanced Jose.

And omg... Mark! So sexy!

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

Also the whole sexy duck prep monologue, so skeevy.

OH MY GOD SERIOUSLY. I don't care how good his food tastes, I have completely lost my appetite for it FOREVER. EW EW EW.

I'm disappointed that Tim is gone, but just because I liked him. His food seemed lacking, though.

Yeah, me too. I kept wanting him to do well, but his food never quite got there.

Art Crawl!!!

I hope that Angelo was joking with the "I've had crabs" comment. A bad joke is the only way that makes sense.

Which is the one who made minestrone incorrectly? She is the one who cooked chicken with sherry for school children. She needs to go.


Amy - Jul 15, 2010 4:24:12 am PDT #14501 of 23273
Because books.

Amanda, I think. Who doesn't know minestrone has noodles? That astounded me.

And Tom asking her, "Why do we cut vegetables into equal sizes?" was just embarrassing. Even I know that!

Art Crawl!!!

I'm sad that Eric's experience was so horrible. (Too bad he didn't wind up with Ryan and Mark - they also have no patience with Miles.)

And I'm very glad that Nichole's team won. I like Nichole and I thought that team just worked so well together.
