Contemporary for Billy. After hip hop for Jose. Hmmmm. I don't know that he and Ade will blend very well. And Stacey can be hit or miss. Let's see how this goes. Mad World. Good music choice. I wish he'd used the Adam Lambert version. I loved the simplicity of the move where Ade passes his hand in front of Billy's face. And the side by side work starting with the double turns into the plie was just wow. Oh, I love this piece. That was so beautiful. And the blend just worked really well. This is how I hoped he would perform from the jump. Mia. Ewwww. Presumptuous much? Stacey is keeping you on your toes, is she? I hate hate hate hate Mia on the panel. It's not about you, beeyotch.
Jose and Kent are already too much for me, just the idea of it. From This Moment On. But I do love Spencer Liff's choreo. Kent is really good in Broadway. The mugging serves him well. This is all kinds of Gene Kelly fantastic. Just muscular, American guy dancing. I loved Ken't slow turn in attitude. He's gorgeous in this piece. Completely showing up Jose on every level. He killed it. Killed it.
AdeChike and Lauren doing Foxtrot with Jean Marc and Franz. I like that they call her LoFro. That little toothy blonde cheerleader has totally grown on me. Why would you use the Beyonce version of Fever? I want that dress Lauren's wearing. This is the most non Fox Trot-y Foxtrot I've seen. Not enough closed hold, and what there was, wasn't good. And they have no chemistry. I really think AdeChike generates anti-chemistry. There was no smoke. Boring.
I'm still mad at Nakul for knocking Alex out of the competition, but I'm going to try to put that aside and enjoy. Billy and Robert. How could you put those two toether and not give them contemporary. It's a crime. OK, I don't know anything about Bollywood, but I felt like Robert was tearing it up. I would totally cast him if I had to choose. He was sharp and precise. Wow. Billy looked just like a pale little white boy playing dress up.
I want Jose and AdeChike to go home, but I think it may be Jose and Billy.
I am so over this season. Watching week after week of Jose doing the most simplistic dancing (if you can even call it dancing at times) makes me want to throw stuff.
I can't stand Robert and his excessive cheesiness.
Adechike bores me.
At least I got my Billy love back this week, but I doubt he'll have the votes.
Is next week the finale? When I realized it might be, my initial instinct was "Oh thank goodness!"

You know it's bad when I turn off the TV and pick up
Don Quixote.
Also, I liked Master Chef last night. It was Idol-ish without being too Idol.
Finally watched. It shows promise. I don't get why some seemed to cook in front of the judges and others didn't.
And Gordon Ramsey was super cute.
He had me at
Vous parlez français?
What do the costumes have to do with the dance?
umm, they had little stripes, as to evoke baseball uniforms? Okay, no.
I loved the Mad World piece, it was gorgeous. Love Kent and Broadway. Still hate Robert, I think that he's a bad partner. It may be a confidence issue, but he has got to be there more. He was good in the Bollywood, though. I think that Billy had better technical skills, but Robert was feeling it/sending it out more.
And, my friend Katie Thompson (Heaven on Earth) got another song on the show. (www.katiethompson.com if you want more of her stuff)
I thought that Kent/Jose Broadway number combined the music and some of the Fosse moves from the Kiss Me Kate routine with the alley dance from My Sister Eileen, which was danced by Fosse and Tommy Rall, so we actually had two Fosse-filled numbers tonight. That (ETA: well, Kent's portion of it) and the Mad World piece were the two best of the evening.
I did think that Lauren really brought it for the foxtrot; she way outdanced Adechike there.
I'm hoping it's Jose and Adechike gone this week.
I do not think that Alex stole Ed's pea puree (the idea of it, likely, and probably not even consciously.) I was flabbergasted that 90% of the polled people thought he did. People, please. Though I do not like Alex at all.
Yeah, what was the logic behind that? "Alex couldn't possibly have had time to puree those peas today!" Really? How long does it take to put peas in a blender?
I called Andrea going home at the halfway mark. Way to tip your hand, editors!
Work of Art - I guess we're going to see Jaclyn in the final three. Argh.
I'm guessing Abdi or Peregrine as the final auff.
What do you think?
I think Peregrine, unless she really brings it next week. I think that they like Abdi,and will put him in the final three.
They must be eliminating two next week. I want Nichole to make it to the final. I can't see them eliminating Miles.
I call shenanigans on the Top Chef editors. Why not clear up the case of the puree? I didn't like that they left suspicion over the head of one of the chefs.
