Benjy's dance was weird. The red gloves and flag underwear were wrong.
I thought they should have sent home the first guy who danced, definitly not Ricky, who I think got sent home more because he was "weird" than dancing ability.
Oh, smacked in the noggin with a 2x4 wrapped in velvet. Yeah, that's what it felt like.

What happened to the "I don't know if my church group will approve of my being on this show" innocence?
I guess traveling around the world dancing will do that to you, if the show didn't already last year! Totally agree about the gloves and undies. That dance was just weird.

I've heard of Master Chef, but I don't think I've seen it. (Well, they're running it in the middle of the day during the week. I can't watch that.)
I'm watching many, many cooking shows today. Also -- I saw an episoe of "Take Home Handyman" with Andrew Dan Jumbo. Yes!

I only watch Master Chef because of the dvr. I also watch Ramsay's Kitchen Nightmares.

Yay! New thread.
Jumping right in: OK, why hasn't Ramsay gone seriously off on Aaron yet on Hell's Kitchen? Is he scared of inducing a coronary (not an unlikely prospect, sadly - the guy's a mess)?

Aaron needs the kind of assistance that Ramsay cannot provide. Where are the team of mental health professionals when Aaron needs them?

Hell - where were they when they were screening contestants?
I'm pretty sure I get why Aaron wasn't one of the ones selected to be cut by Rock (?). I figure he was hoping Ramsay would choose Josh instead of Eddie (since Josh is a loose cannon asshole who might have some skills, Eddie at least tried really (too) hard, but Aaron would have been a no-brainer "bye bye"). But unless they're setting us up for a "dramatic transformation" story, it's almost sadistic to keep Aaron around.

Whee! New thread. And SYTYCD talk, already! Yeah, I felt sorry for Ricky. I think all the judges tend to have a slight bias in favor of the B-boys. Mia should have been on that panel to even things out. This is my first season watching. What are Nigel's credentials for being a judge?

I just found out that a friend of a friend is on SYTYCD. I've been half-watching most of this season, but I can't remember most of the names. Can someone remind me which one Danny is?

I think that Ramsey hasn't gone off on Aaron because Aaron really is a no-hoper.
