I think it's tied into Nigel's deep discomfort with the same-sex ballroom dancing - he thinks in dance, women must be sexy, and men strong. Not just Nigel, but dance culture as a whole, especially ballroom, but did you see those pics of Mollee as a little kid in JonBenet Ramsey getup, and even Ellenore in bright red lipstick at 4 years old?

I think the last group in the Snoop Dogg dance was these kids recently profiled in the New York Times (great article!): [link]

I will just sit and nod at everything Liese just said because word.

Oh, one thing I loved in the LXD number was the guy who was moving in slow motion while the other three dancers where just whizzing around. Excellent!

WHo was eliminated on Top Chef? My Tivo cut it off just as Tom was telling the remaining three how they were all great but someone had to go.

eta: Previous comments upthread seem to hint it was Jen?

It was. Sadly.

That's too bad. She was so awesome through much of the season. I'd love to hear her own thoughts on what happened to her in this show.

Well, I guess that just leaves the brothers and Kevin. I like Kevin. Is Bryan the cool, slightly older and nicer brother? And Michael is the sort of douch-y one?

Yes and yes, at least in my opinion (on the nicer vs. douch-y - Bryan is the older one definitely)

Come on -- Michael is like a douche-a-palooza.

It's just I've seen some people complaining (I don't think here though) how obnoxiously passive-agressive Bryan is, but I don't really see him that way.

I could see Bryan as passive-aggressive, but I still like him way more than his brother.
