Embrace the idea that we are the leaders we've been looking for. Grace Lee Boggs

I think that Sabra's going to take it all.

Me too. I hope so.

I liked Jaime better than Lauren last night, but I liked Lauren better the night before. Overall, I actually like Lauren better, although I grant that the Asian comment was thoughtless, insensitive, and stoopid. I totally understand Sara not being in the bottom, though. I think she consistently shows more personality than either Lauren or Jaime. Maybe even more than Sabra. And I think lots of folks vote more on personality than skill, barring glaring mistakes.

Oh, definitely, or Pasha would have been in the bottom two last night. While the hip-hop routine was fairly well done, his solo was way weak. But the girls really like him. Plus, I have to admit I voted for Dominic even though he was very weak in the waltz. I just wanted to see him get another chance because I felt a lot of the problem was the choreography. If he goes next week, c'est la vie.

S to the A -- using they/them pronouns!

I think the majority of the problem was the choreography. Adding a Spanish flair to a Viennese waltz works for showcases where you're not going to be judged on anything, but I think it was ridiculous and ill-conceived for SYTYCD, especially given the demo the ratings are playing to. What screaming fifteen year old girl knows Man of La Mancha? Please.

Danger is my middle name, only I spell it R. u. t. h. - Tina Belcher.

Jamie and Dom were totally screwed on that waltz. The music was wrong the choreography was bad and the costume Jaimie had to wear was terrible.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Anybody else love Kathy Griffin like I apparently now do? I've been watching My Life on the D-List, and now I'm watching some of her specials, and I just love her. She's hilarious. It's also interesting watching her and Paula Abdul, because they're at about the same level, realistically, so they are both doing whatever they can to get themselves out there and "maintain the brand" or whatever, but Kathy is so awesome, and Paula's such a mess!

Who do you think he's going to nominate (other than probably Jen)

Kail? He didn't seem to not want Kail out during that bedroom discussion. He just seemed to want Mike out more.

"We have trust issues." Mylar

BB: When did Jen start to grow on me? I almost felt sorry for her when she was tearing up at being nominated again. Eric is really good at being sneaky, but "America" is a really bad player.

Design Star: Loving blond guy from TN (Josh, maybe?). He reminds me of Kane from PR. Also love the latina from CA. She's so cute. That penthouse looks insane! I would not want to live there for the next month or so.

I was so not going to be sucked into Design Star.
