I have loved Evan when he's performing stuff that he's done or his brother choreo'd for him. Maybe that's it.

I am TOTALLY loving both Jeanette and Jeanine. OMG. They're both great. The girls are doing it for me this season. (Er, except for Randi. Who is not) I even liked Caitlin--she didn't have charisma, but I thought she was lovely when she danced. I wanted to see her with someone other than Jason. (I'm also not really a Kayla fan, but I can see the pretty dancing)

Well, I think Evan got a short-shrift with the judges on the Broadway they did, because I thought he carried that off rather well. And I thought he did a good job with the jive. But really, when you compare to the performance that Vitolio gave, it's like I've been waiting all season for Evan to give a hint of the smooth, controlled ability he showed before the season started. I'm kind of hoping he's not getting ground down by this, because that's the quickest way for him to get bumped off the island. He could come back from that if he'd just, like, put everything out there on the stage.

I've been very, very pleasantly surprised by Ade, but I'm curious to see how much of that was him rising to Melissa's clear technique standard, you know?

TCM: Wow, this became way more entertaining than I expected it to be. But I'm of the thought that they could really only do it once, right? Unless TC has gained way more credibility in the culinary industry than I realized?

So far so good. Evan and Kayla looked pretty good. Not great, but ok.

Kayla once again gets away with dancing barefoot. At least this time, she had an excuse.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Oh! I'm pretty sure I saw an ad that Cat is hosting some show on Game Show Network. 21Q or some shit?

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

20Q (as in twenty questions). She banters with a computer.

Hmmm. That does not sound overly awesome.

Indeed. Jason and Janine were awesome!
