Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

And to think, we lost Brandon for this sweaty fool.

God, seriously?? That kid better be on next season.

I love Jordin Sparks an embarassing amount.

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

Why, why, why do these women agree to be models if they aren't willing to have it get fucked up? Seriously, it's hair, it GROWS. Yeesh.

OH MY GOD YES. Dude, I would LOVE for someone to give me Jem-hair! I think they cast timid hair models as part of the challenge, but it really does the show no favors.

I like Parker's Betty Boop the best, but the winning Wilma was good too.

Loved that Betty Boop! I always wanted hair that could do that. I would have loved to see the winning Wilma hair done to see the color more. It was perfect for her!

"This bar smells like kerosene and stripper tears."

I am loving Mr. Dallas Hairspray.

I know that guy! Well, he's a friend of a friend. I saw him in the paper the other day and was all o_O

I have to admit, I did like Matt's solo quite a bit more than the other two guys, so I was oddly pleased he stayed, even though I'm not a fan. I don't like Thayne because his smiles freak me out because he shows so much gums. Which is not a good reason to not like someone, but whatever. I doubt I'll be a bigger fan of him with Comfort than I was of Chris with Comfort, but whatev'. Just waiting and hoping for them to switch partners. C'mon, America....

I was also surprised by what seemed like so much genuine emotion from the partners, shown at the very end over the credits, leaping back up on stage and hugging their ousted partners. Huh.

I was a little surprised by the abruptness with which Nigel knocked Chelsea off. Dang.

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

Nigel is straight up pissing me off this year. What's with the term "animalistic" to describe what Comfort and Tree should have done? WTF? That didn't sit right with me, nor does it sit right with me that he praises the couples doing "hip hop" routines by Napoleon/Tabitha when that is about as "hip hop" as your average Lakers cheerleader.

It is pretty clear to me that Nigel likes watered down hip hop which is fine as a personal preference, but not fine for a producer of a dance show. Get some decent hip hop choreographers back on the fucking show and lose Doriana.

What happened to Wade? Why is he not choreographing anymore? What did I miss?

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

He has done one group number so far - but we need him back, don't we?

"We have trust issues." Mylar

In theory, I like the idea of introducing new blood into the choreographer pool, but NappyTab just are not quality hip hop choreographers. They do video/pop choreo which is fine (and I've liked some of it) but not really hip hop. They need to bring back Dave Scott. His choreography is amazing. And I was actually glad to see Cicely and Olisa come back (though, please don't let them judge). They have a nice flow to their work. I really wish they'd let some of the past hip hoppers choreo. I thought Dom and Hawk's group was really good and obviously they know how to put a routine together.

I did like the new BowWowWow woman. I thought the Kourtni/Matt routine rocked.
