Eh, different strokes.

This. I think you just vibe on certain people right away. There's no logic to it. My sister had a hate-on for Kherington from the get go. I actually didn't, even though the shoe thing drove me batty because it didn't seem fair. I think part of my problem with dancers like Danny and Will is that the over-loving of the judges makes me think they are getting an unfair advantage and my root-for-underdog instinct kicks in. Much like I sort-of wanted Comfort to stay longer because she got saddled with an unfortunate partner in the beginning.

See, stick up his ass or not, I felt like Danny was just such a clearly better dancer than the rest of them that I didn't give a shit what his personality was, I felt like there was no question that he deserved to be there.

And there were certainly moments when he was dancing that you could TELL that he was enjoying himself. Even in various different styles. And that was enough for me. I don't care whether he likes the judges. And I didn't feel like he hated his partner or anything. So he didn't have a bubbly personality, so what? I loved to watch him dance, that worked for me.

Danger is my middle name, only I spell it R. u. t. h. - Tina Belcher.

I never saw Danny as arrogant, I saw him as classically trained with an upright posture. It took him awhile to lower his center of gravity but I always loved him from the first. Sabra was the delightful surprise I didn't see coming.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

BIG BROTHER!

I am sure I will be burned once again with the suckage of this show, but tonight I am excited.

Not exactly a reality show, but I'm watching Ms. Universe and I CANNOT believe that Ms. USA fell and busted her ass exactly like last year's Ms. USA. Inconceivable.

Huh -- I was actually surprised by Food Network Star.

Yeah, Ms. Venezuela won and I really liked her. (Gorgeous dress) The Miss USA thing was just so freaky. I mean, she even looks kinda like last year's Miss USA. And to have her fall and miss top 5 just like last year's girl. I feel a You Tube classic double feature coming on.

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

I am sure I will be burned once again with the suckage of this show, but tonight I am excited.

ME TOO!

Jesse - I know! I really thought that the two most television friendly ones would be on top. That's very pleasing.
