Because books.

Yeah, I thought he was sort of sweet before, but all the crap about his "perfect ten" wife was weird.

Gail's style surprised me. Really nice.

I'm seriously not impressed with anyone tonight. And more than a few of the stylists are narking me off. Bleh.

Daniel is the only likable one.

Seriously, everyone seems extra bitchy tonight. Except Daniel.

And I know it's about hair in general, but I wish they would do more *cuts*. I'm tired of the updo thing.

I continue to believe that Jessica was just lucky enough to be paired with Will. she would have been gone a long damn time ago if she had been paired with anyone else.

They keep talking about Comfort and the chemistry, but she has had some limp-ass partners. I active shy away from The Gums, and they are in the TV. I can't image what it's like to be right next to them. I also suspect that comfort is getting a little tired of the competition. Her heart doesn't seem to be in it.

I still hate the costume designer. everything except ballroom, they look like whores. really ugly stuff. I mean, what the hell was Kherington wearing with the PVC leggings?

Also, I may have to stop watching RJPANTDC. The addition of the IM messages commenting on the routines is really annoying, and usually sent by idiots.

Yes, finally heels for Kherington. And by far their worst dance of the season. Maybe the shoes stole her mojo?

Finally! I really thought after her first number that she was go to get away with it yet again. And, if you watch her feet in some of the spins, I do think she was having trouble in them.

That was fun! I can see "Bollywood" as a style -- a glitzed up version of some Indian style, like "Broadway" is glitzed up 50s jazz or whatever it actually is. NB: I know nothing about dance.

This is basically the point my housemate made and I have to agree. Bollywood is just as much a style as Broadway.

To me, the top three (Mark/Chelsie, Gev/Courtney, Katee/Joshua) and bottom three (Will/Jessica, Thayne/Comfort, Kherington/Twitch) are the clearest they've ever been. I'm pretty sure Thayne and Comfort will go, but I would love to see Jessica go instead.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.

I had a tech issue and didn't get to see Gev and Courtney's first dance until this morning (bless youtube). Now that I have, they were definitely my favorite last night. So cute! I just want to smoosh them both.

I really liked the Bollywood dance, and Twitch's part of the Krump too.

SYTYCD: Last night the judging really got in the way for me. I'd watch the dancing, form and opinion, and then get all fussed because of the what Nigel or Mary said. (I felt Mia was being more honest than they were last night in that she actually seemed to be commenting on the dancing in front of her, even if I didn't agree.) I'm not sure why it bothered me last night so much more than any other night.

Art Crawl!!!

You know, Shear Genius just isn't grabbing me. We'll see next week when PR airs before it but I find myself with the tv on but just not paying attention to it.
