I'm all up in the law now, but damn it feels good to get my violence on.

Okay we aren't even done yet, but I want to see Twitch go - because he can really only do the one thing - and Comfort or Kherington, either one. Based on tonight alone, I'd keep Comfort.

Agree with you on the girls. For the guys I think it's a toss up between Gev and Mark and I'm not really happy about either of those.

And, yes, I'm still keeping score... Kherington: 9 High heel shoes: 1

Truly amazing.

I just recently started using Read New and must remember not to do that on Wednesdays and Thursdays.

Yeah, it's dangerous being on Pacific Time, and even worse when you tend to use TiVo! I have to be very careful in the late afternoon to remember I can't click in here!

Lil C was an AWESOME judge!! It's a shame he didn't get to judge when it MEANT something.

They didn't really look like they were dancing to me, not that I know anything about Two Step, but it felt more like they were just going from one thing to another.

This was the first time I saw a dance and was like "hey! I could do this dance!" Um, except for the lifts. And yeah, they didn't really do a two step, so much. Because if you watch, there were no...two...steps. And their two step, as the judges said, pretty much sucked. Which made me sad. But also made me a little sad at the choreographers, in a way. Also, why was she in heels for the rehearsal (you don't wear heels for a two step! Seriously, it makes it harder!!) but boots for the dancing?

I liked Gev and Chelsie's contemporary a lot better than Sonia's last comic book contemporary for the Very Tall People.

I'm suspicious of the Pas De Deux--WOULD they have had anyone but Will dance it? And would that choreographer have choreographed it for anyone BUT Will??

I was VERY excited to see Comfort dance hiphop with someone who was not Big White Contemp Guy. Sniff. I wish I'd gotten to see that sooner.

I loved Joshua and the Tight Pants Rhumba. Yum.

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

Jesse (or anyone else), can you tell me what happened on BB tonight? I didn't get home in time to see it, and the tivo was reserved for SYTYCD.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

Project Runway: I suspect Blayne is retarded. The winner (Kelli?) was very innovative.

Shear Genius: I can't believe Nekisia is still on. She's been in the bottom every freaking time and she did nothing on that woman's hair.

Nicole is an excellent haircutter but she's going to lose on coloring or styling.

Charlie's a bitch, but not in the entertaining way. He's just a shitty human. Also, he would've been out if he didn't have immunity.

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

Why is everyone so surprised about the tablecloths? I mean, are you kidding? You got a big piece of fabric!!!!

I didn't get surprised so much as disappointed. I mean, the challenge is to use unusual materials - making a dress out of a big piece of fabric is just lazy. (Not to mention, the tablecloths were UGLY.)

I was surprised Raincoat Guy went home because usually unfinished trumps ugly, at least in the early challenges. Stella did nothing to those garbage bags.

The tool is out, despite valiant attempts to stir up trouble. April and Keesha hate each other. Jerry explained at length to everyone how he would never, ever go back on his word and so therefore when he does immediately cave and do so at the least prompting he will remove all his military gear so you can tell. @@. Renny is still crazy and deluded.

So, not much new.

Thanks Brenda. I'm almost sorry the tool is out, because at least he might have been entertaining.

Art Crawl!!!

I was so happy with the winner of the challenge last night - excellent job. And the runner up.

I also liked the way 3rd place person used color.

Punishingly Intricate

I would have been happy if all of the bottom 3 on PR had been cut.

Yeah, the other guy's raincoat was a little bizarre, but at least he *designed* something, with detail. (Weird detail, but whatever.) Hers looked exactly like what it was -- a garbage bag.

Yes. Exactly. And she was such a fucking sad sack about it. I hate that defeatist attitude more than delusional bragging.

The tanorexic wishes he was Christian. But, "girlicious" really???

It's like he thought "hey, I need a catchphrase! Christian had fierce, so I use . . . . girlicious?"
