I only notice Lauren because I hate her now.
Jayne (Husband): Oh, I think you might wanna reconsider that last part. See, I married me a powerful ugly creature. Mal (Wife): How can you say that? How can you shame me in front of new people? Jayne (Husband): If I could make you purtier, I would. Mal (Wife): You are not the man I met a year ago.

S to the A -- using they/them pronouns!
Agreed. Or at least strongly dislike. I think she's probably too young for this, really.

It was the pretending to be Asian that pissed me off.

That was ridiculous. I really wonder why they chose to show that.

No shit. I am so done with her.
HK: I am rooting for Rock (by default) because I hate Bonnie, and Jen is garbage woman.

So, I spent my lunch hour looking at SYTYCD Season 2 recaps. Here's when the dances that I remember best were:
Top 20: Benji and Donyelle's "Too Much Booty" hip-hop
Top 16: Allison and Ivan's Argentine tango
Top 14: Ashlee and Dmitry's "Dance Dance" contemporary (Copelia revisited) and Natalie and Musa's disco
Top 12: Allison and Ivan's "Why" contemporary and Donyelle and Benji's "You Can't Stop the Beat" Broadway
Top 10: Travis and Heidi's "Calling You" contemporary and Wade Robson's "Ramalama" group routine (aka Zombies!). Both of these routines were nominated for Emmys.
Top 8: Heidi and Benji's "Black Mambo" and Allison and Ivan's "Sexy Love"
I now remember why Season 2 made me like contemporary.
FYI, almost all these are available on YouTube if you search using the dancers' names.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Big Brother: I think I love Dick. He is Evil! I know it would be shitty to be in the middle of it, but it makes for good tv. I kind of feel bad for Kail, even though she fucking sucks. Also, he's a student of BB!

Dear god I've got no one left to root for on this show (though god bless Ramsay for sending Julia to culinary school cause all she needs is some breadth of knowledge now - she has shown she can master just about any technique if she gets a chance, and do it consistently, which is more than half that battle from what I've read). Rock just infuriates me with constantly going on about how he's playing the game, but if he perceives anyone else doing it to him he loses his shit. Plus? Big time women issues. Bonnie's a turnip-headed twerp. If Jen had never pulled that garbage shit, I'd totally be rooting for her, but, just, no. Can't do it. Honestly though, for his massive impulse control issues, I just have to root AGAINST Rock. This man is going to treat his staff like shit whenever he feels he's in a bad mood (as opposed to how I read Ramsay, who's all about getting out a high-level, consistent product). I gotta say I LOVE that Josh didn't even get a flaming photo mention at the end - just BUH-BYE!!!
Can we scratch the entire lot?

That man was going to shank me. Over an omelette. Two eggs and a slice of government cheese. Is that what my life is worth?
I had a dream last night that I was on HK and won. And promptly freaked out because I have never been to culinary school and have no idea how to run a kitchen. Twas odd.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.

Seriously. I wouldn't want to be his daughter, by any means, but I kind of love him. He's like the evil twin of Dr. Will.
