"Faded like the lilac, he thought."

True, probably. Although when I think about the logistics, I'm amazed that they have been able to get this concept off the ground at all.

Oh, and I forgot to mention...how much nicer is the Masters' stew room, huh? Hee. No cheap metal shelves stocked with Glad products. Although I'm still endlessly amused at the product placement, especially when the products are made of fail. Oh, and there was all this footage using All-Clad in the chefs' own restaurants, and then Calphalon had the sponsorship. It wasn't as bad as the "no one should use this sponsored microwave" segment, though. Hee.

Casper refers to Paula Abdul as "that one on American Idol who always says (mock nicey voice), 'You're great! You rock!'"

I don't think she's mature enough to be faced with Mary Murphy, though.

Another reason I love SYTYCD is that unlike Idol I look forward to the results show and the group dances are always interesting.

I missed what they said about featuring different dance styles from around the world but I love this instead of listening to some musical act that is probably lip synched anyway.

oooh!! Amazing Tango! That was so awesome! Those spins and lifts.

If they don't keep Vitolio I will be very disappointed.

Scratch that, if they don't lose Tony I'll mock them thoroughly. He's just not very good.

I'm afraid Tony is going to be like..oh what was his name who kept staying around even though he was lesser and all his female partners kept getting voted off.

So Ryan and Paris are out and all the couples will stay for another week. Good gives them a chance to get more chemistry and get closer.

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."

So, the couple who did the Tango? They were on that awful bad NBC show where the countries competed in dance. They have always been awesome, but that wasn't even their best tango routine that I've seen. I keep feeling like the man is the woman's student or something.
