Spike? It's you. It's really you! My therapist thought I was holding on to false hope, but…I knew you'd come back. You're like…you're like Gandalf the White, resurrected from the pit of the Balrog, more beautiful than ever. Oh…he's alive Frodo. He's alive.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Oh, I did have another thing: I thought Asuka was magnetic, couldn't keep my eyes off of her, so was bummed out at the lukewarm response to the number.

Also, why does Japanese translation/transliteration or whatever give us extra syllables in English all the time?

This seeems to be pretty much the most talented group of dancers I've seen so far. The only set that I felt lagged the pack were Asuka and Vitolio and I blame that as much on the choreography as the dancers.

Thrive to spite them

I liked Asuka as well I didn't get the complaints.

I think the weakest were Paris and Tony and they weren't even that weak.

Because books.

I just thought that Asuka number was choreographed too ... slow for that music? Like, it should have been even brighter, even more steps or something.

I want to vote for all of them!

I missed half of them, but everything I saw was pretty good. Max and Kayle were WOW! I think Asuka and Vitorio's routine was damned by Tyce and the goddamned camera which was all over the place. In the recap, I am kinda mystified by the whiteface space makeup dance. That had to be Sonyah, right?

At this stage, don't we do bottom three and then the judges vote?

Top Chef Masters! I'm so excited!

Tim Love is doing shots during quickfire. Is there any question that he's my favorite.

I LOVE that they gave them dessert. And they all reacted the exact same way.

I also adore Hubert, with his lovely smooth accent and his rock star hair. Sigh.
