I knew who you meant and I knew who I meant. Is she the first one this season to win the quickfire and the elimination challenge.

Oh yeah, I figured. I just wanted to clarify. And I think yes.

Go Bill Powers on calling Miles out on his OCD bullshit. Unfortunately, he did it in a complimentary way.

Woo hoo, Tiffany!!!

First person this year I've come close to feeling any affection for. And getting Ethiopian food right based on tasting the spices, etc. with zero experience with the cuisine? With Marcus judging? Pretty damn good, I'd say. Nailing the Mexican she wanted to do was just icing (but also pretty special icing, given immunity).

That Travis Wall number was sooo good. I was waiting for Nigel to make some obnoxious homophobic comment and was pleased to hear not a one. Kent might have serious limitations when it comes to not being mature yet, and he can't control his facial expressions too often, but he can be poetry in motion. He and Neal have good chemistry, too (loved their baseball number from a few weeks ago).

Also loved Robert and Dominic's clown number! Really well done from NappyTab, very much out of their usual style, and the two guys just nailed it.

And I'm hoping that someone ordered Tyce to do a non-Fosse number for the group piece, because getting him out of that massive crater he's dug for himself meant he produced a Broadway number that I really liked!

The fuck is Gail wearing? I keep getting distracted from the food by how awful that dress is.

Padma had some crazy thing on too.

Aw, Stephen- it was your time to go. Seriously, was there like any challenge he was NOT in the bottom of? Nice guy though.

Also, Amanda sounded like the goddamn Pink Panther when she was pronouncing the components of her dish. OMG WOMAN!

When Kenny was bitching about being in the middle all the time, all I could do was bitterly think about Hosea Rosenberg.

SYTYCD: OMG the judges are such a travesty right now! I had to call and vote for Adéchiké like a thousand times just because I thought the judges were so off the mark on him. I swear it's half because of racism and bad lighting that keep you from seeing that man's face. He is expressive and he can be charismatic, but we can never see it. And Nigel and Tyce were so fucking condescending it's unconscionable. I cannot bear Tyce in any capacity, I am telling you.

I also voted for Lauren once because I thought she brought it and I loved that Cheeseman choreography. I wish they weren't so bent on making her a barely legal sex kitten, but I think she danced powerfully and effectively.

I voted for Kent once on the strength of his Travis routine. He's who I think will win and that's probably okay. He will benefit from the exposure. I hope he lands a Broadway gig eventually, because that's the style he should be dancing and this is kind of a cool way to discover that.

I did not vote for Robert because I still think he's a big giant fake ball of cheese (and what do you do with cheesery? you make him an angry clown!) and he doesn't have enough raw skill to make up for it. I just never bought what he's selling and I still don't. You wanna talk about someone not giving themselves? This is the guy you should be talking to. The judges can't save him anymore, so I hope he's out tomorrow.

And I was happy to see Alex in the audience, although it just further delineated for me how disappointed I am with this whole season. It just could have been so much more.

Also, I note, where was Mark? If there is no Mark in the finale I shall have words for the producers.

Mark said on Twitter that he cracked his nose.

I can't believe I'm about to say this, but I liked the clown routine. Quite a bit.

I'll be fine with either Adechike or Robert going.

Hmph. That does not further endear me to the show. Did he crack it in rehearsals, thus making it a 5 injury season?

Yeah, I'm not saying I hated the clown routine, I thought it was not bad for NappyTabs, but I thought it had weak points, including Robert standing around emoting while Dom, you know, danced hiphop. I am saying I can't stand Robert, though. Heh. You know, in case that wasn't coming through in my assessment.
