I loved Singing Bee because it was cheese on a stick. I was singing along the whole time.
SYTYCD: I loved Jesus and Sara's Wade routine and think it is hands down one of the best routines ever on this show. I loved Lacey and Kameron's Mia routine. I've also thought a lot of the ballroom routines have been better this year (probably thanks to tons less Alex DaSilva). And while I think the overall technical level of dancing among this group is higher than S2, there aren't the same big personalities. S2 had Benji and Ivan and Natalie and Travis and Musa . . . some really big personalities. Even some of the kids who got voted of early, Ben and Jaymz and Dmitri were very present. I mean, I remember Ben a lot more for his snarky, emo boy ways than for his dancing. I think both the choreography and the dancing from a techinical level have been solid for S3, but the people don't pop in the same way.
Is anyone watching Hell's Kitchen?? I missed a few minutes and missed something big, I think. Where did Josh go??
Oh I'm missing it because of The Closer (which is very very funny).
I have no idea what happened to Josh. But I
knew
that Ramsay was going to do something for Julia. I knew it! This is why I like Ramsay.
Josh was fired in the middle of service!
Awww, Chef Ramsey is sending Julia to culinary school.
What he do to get fired?
After seeing some of the stuff that Ramsay's said in interviews and also some of his actions on Nightmares I figured he'd do something like this. He really respects people with talent and work hard. I hope Julia has a shining career in her future.
Chef Ramsey + Julia + culinary school = love!
I was hoping he wouldn't kick anyone out since he kicked Josh out in the middle of service because I had a feeling that Julia would go tonight.
Josh royally fucked up appetisers. Again.
I guess it was the last straw.
That was so sweet. This is the kind of thing that really elevates this show - he shouts and curses a lot, but he also brings a kind of humanity and genuineness that's rare on tv.
Josh was so freaked about getting behind that he kept randomly starting pans of risotto and pots of spaghetti on the stove - and kept on doing it like four more times even after Ramsay reamed him out for it.
Just when I thought I couldn't adore Ramsey any more, he goes and sends Julia to culinary school. Awwwwww.
The saddest part of this story is that I no longer have a horse in this race. I really don't want any of them to win. None of them are consistent in their performance. Rock is a mean tempered hypocrite. Jen is the dumpster diver. Bonnie is...well, Bonnie. I guess Bonnie gets my vote by being the least vile of the options.
I look forward to a future season when Julia returns.
