I go online sometimes, but everyone's spelling is really bad. It's... depressing.

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?

The guest dance troupe was AMAZING.

No lie! I sat here saying "holy crap" out loud several times.

I had a strong negative reaction to the opening number. Am I the only one?

No.

I thought it was poorly conceived and a poor use of the stage.

I was thinking the same thing followed by, "This must be a Tasty number." And, there you go.

Wow, that boys result just surprised me. Nice going, America! You didn't screw it up this time.

Yep!!

Because books.

Top Chef: Shallow fashion note, but I really don't like Padma's bangs.

The pregnancy has certainly enhanced her boobular region, though.

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

Yeah, the bangs were startling. I hope Micheal doesn't win. He's the only one I don't like.

Aw, Top Chef. Bummer. In one sense, anyway. The food looked so good tonight, though.

"We have trust issues." Mylar

Dang, y'all. Tasty just ruins everything. Although I did find it funny that in a routine that was basically a series of set pieces to spotlight different dancers, Mollee got one split leap across center and that was it. Everybody hates Mollee! Also, FP and Ryan were fire in their ballroom section. Everything else kind of sucked ass. There was no cohesion to that piece, no transitions from one awkwardly staged eight count to the next. Yuck.

Also, underwear is not clothing. Live it and love it, Cat.

ETA: Kathryn B2? What is wrong with America?

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Given the middle of the season, Jen was lucky to make it this far, so this seems fair. I guess. Meh. It is good to see really strong work all across the board, though!

"We are the Goon Squad and we're coming to town...Beep! Beep!" - David Bowie, "Fashion"

Fuck! I was so hoping Mike V. would go home, and I swear they showed more negative judge comments about aspects of his dishes then Jen's. This really smells of producer interference (i.e. getting the brothers in the finals) despite all of Tom C's protestations to the contrary.

OK - rooting for Kevin now, with Bryan V. as a second choice.

I had a strong negative reaction to the opening number. Am I the only one? It looks like the dancers didn't know their blocking well enough and there were too many pauses throughout. I thought it was poorly conceived and a poor use of the stage.

the opening number was terrible. the dancers were hesitant and abrupt in their movements. I couldn't tell if the stage use was poor because the camera work was so terrible (as per usual). I knew it was a Tyce routine because it sucked.

Was that Twitch dancing with LXD? That was hands down the best thing I've seen on TV in a really long time. I want to see that again! It just makes me even madder at the vampire cape/NappyTab crap that passes for hip hop on this show.

I didn't see Twitch. I saw Hok and Dominic, they're both part of Quest Crew, who were on America's Best Dance Crew.
