"We have trust issues." Mylar

I sooo watched that show tonight. Fonzworth Bentley. He was comedy gold when he was Diddy's houseman on Making the Band. The Gs are sadly not as entertaining as the Flava of Love girls. Yet. But it's early yet.

Back tattoos of the mother is that you are absolutely right - Ame

The kids and I watched it too (Gs to Gents) and it was like watching a train wreak. Won't be appointment tv, probably won't hit tivo, but if I bump into it again, I'll see if it captures my attention.

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

I'm now watching last night's Big Brother, and are they seriously going to fill those seats every week?? With who??

Wait, what seats?

SYTYCD: Tonight during the guy's group dance, I thought Mark just wasn't doing as well as the other guys, and I could kind of see where the judges were coming from in terms of his technique, but even with that, I can't stand how clear they are about not liking him.

Sad to see Gev go.

'Til we dance away...

WAAAHHH! That's all I have. I miss Gev already. And I thought when Kherington's eyebrows weren't so dark she looked kind of like Jessica Simpson.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Wait, what seats?

Julie has a live audience outside the house.

Ah.

That's dumb.

Art Crawl!!!

America's Greatest Dog. . . or whatever the title is: Well, I'm glad that the lady with the Giant Schnauzer went. On the one hand, she clearly understands that she has to be strong with her commands with that dog - on the other her commands and her praises all sound the same AND she just nags, nags, nags the dog.

The next that must be gone is that nasty JRT. The owner is clueless. You can say that your dog is just playing but if the bulldog had, for example, decided to give that terrier a warning nip - he could have taken the little shit's head off, i.e., that dog is unsafe to others and to himself. His owner needs to have some rules for him.

I can't believe that Star is the only dog representing for the Sporting Breeds. And she is just such a sweetie. I thought my heart would break for her and her guy when she was hurt. Glad they won this week.

I like the guy with the boxer for the same reason Victoria did - not afraid to babytalk the pup. (Dogs love that. I don't know why.)

I liked the bollywood number a lot!! I thought it worked great as a group number, because bollywood is all about group numbers.

I didn't like Mia's, I did like Nigel's, though I thought the boys seemed a little...tired?...when doing it. Seemed like they could've hit some of it a little harder, or higher, or something. Not sure if they were directed that way, or just exhausted. Wouldn't be surprised either way.

"because the judges hate me"? Er. How 'bout it wasn't good?

STUPID thing to say. If she hadn't been kicked off, they would've hated her now. Damn, girl. Really crystalized my already pretty strong hate on for her. Wow. And i was SOOOO fucking glad Lil' C called her ass on the carpet for that. LOVE HIM SO MUCH. SO MUCH.

Transformers and Hummingbird/Flower, respectively, kat.

Thanks! Now I want to go look up the Emmy nominations and see if there are cross-show rival Emmy noms or anything. Heheheeh.

I think Gev's solos are really awesome, but I don't think he has done really great as a partner, sadly.

I would love to see the show revamped a little to make the partners switch up more often in the beginning, but more importantly, to make the boys and girls dance not just boy/girl, but boy/boy and girl/girl or groups of three or four more often. I think that would be interesting!! Make it a longer show! :)

Kherington, I feel nothing for. She always reminded me of those pretty, stuck-up girls in high school who made life miserable for others.

Yes--and that "Judges hate me!" shit really made me feel it. ONE week you have to get (deserved) negative comments, after seeing Jessica and Comfort have to put smiles on their faces hearing shit like "Will is tired of having to carry you", and suddenly you're telling the camera shit like that? Eat me. Nonetheless, I was pretty damn surprised she went home.

The poor kids looked really wrung out tonight. Two partner dances plus solos last night. Two group numbers tonight each plus solos for the B4.

Yeah, that's a LOT of dancing. They must be exhausted!!!

For real, for REAL. (What is up with that arm thing? Anyone?)

So, between Thursday and Monday they have to learn the two partner dances and come up with a solo. Then between Monday and Thursday, this week they had to learn the two group numbers.
