What is up with comfort's weave? Lord, it looked a mess. It almost pulled focus. Adechike nailed that routine, though. I want to see him work with Twitch.

Robert is a terrible partner. He's not there for his partner, and I felt like he was going to drop her a few times.

Really shitty camera work on the pasa doble. If its about the contest, then we need to see both of them! Too much single camera!

They needed to mike the stage for the stepping routing if it's only going to be two. Kent was a cutie, though. And held his own with Twitch!

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

OMG, Kent makes me cry trying to step! I mean, he's doing the moves OK, I guess, but ugh.

TC:DC - from what the real judges said, I guess the two bottom contestants were the right choices, but there were a couple of moments during the cheftestant judging where the judges were giving WTF looks to the negative comments. I'm hoping they clarify that a bit in the blogs.

Will Kent be limited as a dancer by his height in the future? He looks shorter than Kathryn, and she claims 5'5". I guess he could grow a little. They've been lucky not to have to work with size mismatches much this year - imagine Kent drawing ballroom with Melinda!

I never notice stuff like that. I would never have known that Comfort had a weave if you hadn't told me.

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."

is the paso doble supposed to look like a failed martial arts routine? I'm looking at you Jose.

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."

okay, I finally got to the Kent/Twitch portion of the show.

If there were a step hoedown, Kent would get the blue ribbon. His shoulders were bouncy bouncy the whole fucking time. In this, he was terrible.

so, I started watching tivoed Top Chef. The challenge involved the teams voting, and someone said "this is where the strategy comes in" I stopped watching because I was annoyed. I hate this "drama" gamesmanship bullshit. I watch this for the competition about the food and the cooking, not how to get rid of a stronger chef or forming coalitions to vote. That's why I DON'T like most reality TV.
