I'll go see it!!

I'm waiting for results, but am a bit annoyed by the bottom two boys, but as long as the right one goes home, I'll suck it up.

Likewise for the girls...crossing my fingers that the right one goes home...

Also, OMG could they PLUG that "More to Love" show ANY HARDER?? Good GRIEF. I mean, I actually think the women on that show as far as I can tell in the brief clips look better than the "bachelor", but...good GRIEF.

(OMG, Debbie Allen riffing on her weave just cracked me up)

[edit: IS KUPONO WEARING HAMMER PANTS?!?!?! KICK HIM OFF JUST FOR THAT!!]

Hah. When does it come out? I do have to take a lot of vacation before the end of the year...(but I think if they're already advertising it, probably not)

So relieved that Kupono and Randi were gone. But who next week? Hmm....

"We have trust issues." Mylar

I plan to see Fame many, many times. And I'll be damned if I'm not going to rock out to "Hot Lunch".

Evan's fan base is scary strong. If that African dance didn't take him down, I don't know what will.

I loved Wade's opening routine. Melissa was gorgeous in it and Jeanine and Kayla were tearing it up like I don't even know. The girls totally outshone the boys.

And I want Debbie Allen on the panel every week. What was better? Debbie agreeing with me that she has had enough of Paso on this show? Debbie calling Mary out on being part of the reason Randi wound up in the B2? Debbie putting Mary's weave on blast? Oh, how I love Ms. Debbie Allen!

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

I usually skip the judges comments, but I'll listen to Ms. Allen.

Because books.

And I'll be damned if I'm not going to rock out to "Hot Lunch".

OMG, "Hot Lunch" was AWESOME. I ... don't know if I can see the remake, though. The original is just it for me. It would like if they remade Grease.

I loved Wade's opening routine.

The opening was really stunning.

And much as I liked Evan and Randi together, Randi didn't work as well for me in another pairing. She's just so ... cute. I think she's pretty good, but I'm not really heartbroken she's gone. Kupono either, although wow, the boy is pretty.

September!

I LOVED LOVED LOVED the opening number. I liked that you couldn't tell the guys apart. I looked for Evan, since I think he may the weakest of the five, but I couldn't see him.

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

Debbie Allen was AWESOME as a judge. I am continually astounded at how good she is when she shows up because some of the others can be just so horrible.

I'm looking at you Tyce.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Hey, that's my cousin! Except, yeah, he kind of is. Though IME with the men in that family, they are all secretly very shy and put on an overly genial front to cover which looks a lot like Michael's on-air skeeviness (I don't actually know him personally, he might be skeevy irl, too).

I can definitely buy it as a Persona.
