If you're going through hell/keep on going/don't slow down/keep your fear from showing/you might be gone/'fore the devil even knows you're there

I've only seen the first one. If that fool with the feather would get gone I'd find it a lot more tolerable.

Because books.

Merlin, you mean? I don't like him at all.

The mini challenges are pointless to me, too.

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

So far they've all been group challenges. Not my cup of tea.

"Cry havoc and let slip the boobs of war!" -- Miracleman

They've all been group challenges so far. It's an interesting concept, and more real world.

tiggy, OMG. That is a fucking mess.

His people need to tell him (or whoever is writing those tweets) to back away from the computer. Is that really him?

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Supermodel: Do you all think there is a chance that anyone other than Colin will win fan favorite?

I voted for Jonathan last night, thinking about the family! But of course Colin is really my fan favorite -- I just figure he'll go on to med school and be fine. Jonathan was working construction most recently, right?

SYTYCD -- I can definitely take the "tradition" argument more readily from Sonya, wrt the two ballroom guys, because Nigel does feel like a homophobe to me. (Of course, not that she couldn't be conservative in that way, but it seems less likely.)

Those two from last year's auditions really better both make it on. And the adorable big-family kid better get some training and come back!

We're very stretchy. - Connie Neil

Is that the kid who was hip-hopping with his (too young to audition) brother? Because he really was adorable. I do hope he invests in some standard dance classes over the next year.

Those mutant guys in New York were really freaky, but I liked that the judges gave them the chance to show their stuff in the choreography tryout at the end of the day. The guys sound like they were smart and realized there was no way in hell they'd be able to perform at that level and took off before dancing.

I have to wonder why some of those people stick around and audition in the first place after watching someone really good try out?
