Spike? It's you. It's really you! My therapist thought I was holding on to false hope, but…I knew you'd come back. You're like…you're like Gandalf the White, resurrected from the pit of the Balrog, more beautiful than ever. Oh…he's alive Frodo. He's alive.

I expected to dislike Katee after her whining, but she's a good dancer.

Was I the only one who thought that maybe Jessica landed wrong/too hard in the death fall the judges commented on, and it threw her off for a second or two?

i'm not really impressed with Jessica, but i totally said that when the judges were critiquing that particular section. Will definitely dropped the ball her too low.

i'm not sure i actually like Katee, but i adore Joshua. he makes the pairing for me.

I'm not a huge fan of Katee, the whinyness in Vegas turned me off. But she seriously kicked ass in that Samba. Joshua had some good moves, but she's the one I kept my eye on. Her feet just flew and she had that hip action agoing something fierce, I thought her dress was going to fly completely off of her a couple of times!

Yeah, after Vegas I just couldn't be a fan, but she keeps managing to hold her own each week, so I can't keep hating on her tooooo much. I want to. But I can't.

I was, however, very surprised when the straight guy in the room thought she was hot, last night (I was watching with my sister, four gay men, and one straight guy). I don't find her at all attractive. I mean, obviously nothing wrong with her body (what with all of them being dancers). Though then we rewinded and showed him the other half-there dress, and he agreed Courtney was darn hot too.

But I still prefer all the guys.

Actually, I realized last night that she has very unattractive legs (for a dancer). The more I looked at them, the more the proportions and shape just seemed all wrong. I guess I never noticed before because it's the first time she's been in a dress.

Huh. Now I'll have to look closer at her legs! I was mostly just looking at her face and not being impressed!

She reminds me of Shannon Dougherty (sp?) from 90210. Who I never particulary liked, either.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Just now watching SYTYCD from last night: Wow, I was really not impressed with the Chelsie/Mark number, but maybe that's just because it was billed as hip-hop.

Mostly I'm just glad Melanie was wearing a color! (Stacy and Clinton would be proud.)

I thought of that too--'cause last time she was on I made the comment to my sister that I guess she had gone back to her schlumpy black ways.

It also prompted me to start rewatching WNTW because I've fallen off the wagon a bit myself.
