Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I was hoping Susie and Chris would go, and then we could see Comfort with Marquis. Not that I care about Marquis, but I'm interested in seeing Comfort with someone else.

That's what I was hoping for, for the same reason. Also, because I thought Chris had the weakest solo.

Exactly, Jesse. I get that it's kinda nice to let them have a couple weeks to get some chemistry, and give America people to root for or what the hell ever, but...I really want to see it switched up and see what they can do with other people.

Though I guess that could backfire if you had little bitty Gev or Mark have to dance with ginormo Khortni or however the hell she spells her name (PARENTS! CUT IT OUT!)

I really think they need to go back to the S1 partner switches every week. I want to see Will with someone other than Jessica ASAP. And Kourtni and Gev would be hilarious. It would be the Ashley/Ricky Tango that got Ricky booted times a million.

But now that we don't even get to see them pulling their dances from a hat, I have my doubts about whether even that's random or they just get assigned styles each week based on the judges' whims.

kat,

no shit. Damn. Will needs another partner post-haste.

NFNS: I'm so glad they got rid of Nipa! I feel so bad for the low-self-esteem one (Jennifer?), but I do think she can get better. If nothing else, in real TV, you get more than one take, right? And who doesn't love Lisa with sauce all over herself??

I thought it was funny that the caramel fish situation didn't work on this show, either.

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

NFNS: I'm so glad they got rid of Nipa!

Oh, whew. I haven't watched yet, but that's a huge relief all the same. She was Not Good.

Anyone in here watching the current season of 30 Days? the hunter-with-vegans episode was much better than I thought it was going to be. I was incredibly impressed with the hunter guy for not punching the santimonious animal rescue woman in the face the second time she called him a Nazi - for me, I don't think she would have been given the second chance.

Art Crawl!!!

I heard that the hunter with the vegans was good. Will it repeat?

I am so happy that NFNS got rid of Nipa. Her attitude with the fish was completely ridiculous. And it's not like fish is all that odd.

I enjoyed the challenge on Next Design Star - I think I would rather have had Tracee leave but that maybe because I cannot recall what D. Paul (?) worked on last week.

I think it repeats in the middle of the night sometime, so a DVR should be able to catch it.

Punishingly Intricate

Yeah, Tracee is a mess. And I don't believe she's 35! She looks 10 years older than that to me. Maybe it's just her hair.

I thought the challenge idea was good but their execution was pretty boring all around. Except the deconstruction of the plastic mannequin and the pink flamingo (although that girl bugs me).
