I was surprised by both. That was a weird bottom 3, overall.

Not the whole show, but all the dances from last night: [link]

I’m responsible for my own happiness? I can’t even be responsible for my own breakfast! (Bojack Horseman)

just makes me think of the Simpsons ep when Homer becomes a food critic.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Yeah, that.

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

one couple definitely deserved to be in the bottom 3, IMO. probably 2 out of the 3. I was only surprised with one of them.

Unfortunately, based on the solos, the right woman went home, but she isn't the woman I wanted to go home. As far as the man? I don't get it. I think the other one in the bottom 2 should have gone - despite the fact I like him.

We're very stretchy. - Connie Neil

le nubian, I really liked the group number, but then, this is only the second one I've ever seen on this show (I watched the last four performance eps last year, but I always skipped the results show).

Definitely wasn't too thrilled with the girl who left leaving (I thought another one should go), but I was happy with the guy who left leaving.

"We have trust issues." Mylar

I was happy with both boots. I wanted Caitlin and Jason to go, but after the solos, it was obvious that Caitlin would stay. She was lovely. I think that was her audition solo. And while neither Kayla nor Ashley gave a good performance, Kayla showed solid technique and Ashley . . . posed and walked and then did a plie. OK. For me, for the show, I'd still have gone with the Jason boot. The judges love this kid, but I am just not seeing it. I found his solo frantic and disjointed. I'm not mad to see Maks go because he wasn't in my Top 10 (and seriously, he looked like Grandpa Moses next to some of these kids), but his solo was excellent for a partner dancer and he had a really good week. Good enough to have bought him another week on the show, in my opinion. Kupono was the only dancer who seemed like he'd actually taken time to choreograph a piece. Sadly, it wasn't a very challenging solo. I'm glad he stayed, though, and I think he and Kayla have a chance to be a solid couple.

I loved the group dance. The costumes, the make up, the whole vibe. And Ade, Kupono and Jason were killing it. And who was the girl up front at the beginning of the girls' section? Was it Jeanine? Whoever it was, she was phenomenal. Any time I'm ready to write Mia off, I need to remember that she is actually a really good choreographer.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.

kat, your blog is cracking me up.

I agree that kat deserves worldwide fame. I am so sad you are on the west coast so we don't don;t have as much watch and post as we used to.

Trust my rage

The thing that I find sort of refreshing about Top Chef Masters is that the chefs are so much more relaxed. Which makes sense because they all have a level of confidence that the others are missing. But it makes it fun. And I like that the food they make is generally, but not universally, really good. It's a difference dynamic and it makes it fun. Although only having four does make it feel empty somehow.
