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

Conceptually, I loved the cup dress and it looked great on the mannequin but terrible on the model.

Yeah, her boobs were just kind of floating around with no support, and her waist needed more definition.

Yeah, I will be REALLY sad if Mark goes home just because he had a bad week. I feel like the judges really have it in for him. And I think you're right--Twitch probably deserved to go home more, but I'd send Gev home first. Hmph.

I know there's been mixed reaction to the Desmond Richardson piece, but I found it gorgeous

Really?!? Mixed how!? I thought it was amazing and beautiful, and thought it was rigged, because there was no way Desmond Richardson would've been choreographing that piece for anyone else on the show besides Will. Seriously.

I think she may actually have done enough to eke past Kherington tonight. That would be lovely.

I thought she was better than Kherington tonight, but I'm doubting she'll make it past, really.

Country two-step is an unfamiliar (and incredibly hard by the looks of it) dance style

I think it's only hard if you're doing it with Kherington. If he'd been doing it with Chelsie, it would've looked great.

"We have trust issues." Mylar

I think it's only hard if you're doing it with Kherington. If he'd been doing it with Chelsie, it would've looked great.

This is probably so very true. I feel like Kherington was completely exposed last night for the mediocre dancer she truly is. She's an awful follow. She had no connection to Mark whatsoever. And she wasn't all that great in the dance. I'm really hoping the underdog factor can propel Comfort past her tonight (although I suspect you're right and she just might not have the fan base for it).

Really?!? Mixed how!?

I've just seen here and there folks who really just were not wowed by it. It blew me away, but I know that others were kinda cool on the whole thing - the choreography, the music selection and the performance in general. I loved it to bits, all of it. I mean, they used D'Archie!

Oh, I wasn't wowed by the music choice, but other than that, I loved it!!

Hung makes it to the semi-finals in a prestigious chef contest.

(Okay, I don't totally understand what the Bocuse d'or is but it appears to be an international contest of chefs.)

oh yeah, it's huge. It is THE cooking competition. Isn't it the one where some American chef won with fried chicken?

Well...fried chicken is pretty freaking good if done right.

They are in a tizzy because one of the participants (a chef from Craft) withdrew.

I would not know about the fried chicken - because I had not heard of this before today.

I seem to recall a story about some huge cooking competition that was won by an american chef who made southern fried chicken, mashed potatoes and gravy, and collard greens.
