Yes, I wondered that too, Vortex.

SYTYCD: I totally bawled during Melissa and Ade's number. I was disappointed by Ellen. She was funny at times, but I really wish she had something to say about the dances.

I agree that the final three dances were much better than the rest of the night, which was uninspiring to say the least.

For the guys, I'm sure Evan should go home already. Jason has, if not totally won me over, risen greatly in my esteem. And I hope that Ade does not find himself in the bottom two again.

For the girls, I don't know who I would send home. I love Janette, but she really didn't bring it tonight. I thought Jeanine had an awesome solo. I guess Melissa? I don't love Kayla, but technically she's so much better.

Top Chef Masters: Loved the camaraderie, but I feel this was the weakest group by far, especially given the ease of the final challenge in comparison to the other episodes.

I was disappointed by Ellen. She was funny at times, but I really wish she had something to say about the dances.

I thought that having her as a judge was pretty pointless. She's someone that I find amusing, not funny, and her schtick got old quickly.

Well, I'm sure they were worried about filling time with a two-hour show and only 8 dancers. I think it was a good idea that just didn't work out as well as it might have.

This was the best I've liked Jason. The only solo I really liked was Jeanine's.

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb

I felt like Jannette went pretty far away from her style for her solo. Has anyone done that before? Like start incorporating more of the stuff they are picking up?

I think Benji did it. Probably others too. You almost have to as a partner dancer since those solos get old fast.

Aw, all of 'em cooking and eating together on TC:M is just so sweet. That must have been a great meal.

Does anyone know where I can see the dances from last night? You Tube has yanked most of them. I don't know where else to look!

rickey.org has most of them. You have to scroll down a little. Just the dances, not commentary.
