"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."

I think that Jacob probably was the best overall (with perhaps Ellenore tying or coming in a close 2nd). I love Russell, J & E are in a different league.

I loved 2 of Catherine's dances, but her hip hop kind of sucked. The judges didn't mention the time or two she fell out of a move.

Ashleigh was bad in her ballroom. I can't believe the judges praised that.

Ryan was pretty good generally, but not as stellar as Catherine when she was on.

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

I would have a hard time choosing Ellenore, Kathryn, Russell or Jakob over each other. They were all so good, and have consistenly been all along!

Oh lord this Gordon Ramsey thing is painful. Allyson is still adorable, but no, just no. Thank heavens it looks like a one-off (hopefully a failed pilot like Bourdain's horrific dinner with friends show that he apologized for).

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."

can someone explain to me how 6 choirs can sing 1 song each and the broadcast program takes 2 hours?

someone, do the math and show your work.

I was pretty disappointed by both Ellenore and Russell tonight. Not so much their dancing, but their lack of connection. And Russell was not well served by his choreographers.

Ashleigh and Ryan did well, but Jakob and Kathryn in their routine together showed they are in a separate league.

I want Kathryn to win, but I'd be happy with anyone but Ashleigh and Ryan.

I can't choose. Russell, Jakob, Ellenore, Kathryn. Totally the best top 4 ever. And the fact that we didn't get a top 2 boys dance and a top 2 girls dance out of that quartet is criminal. And damn if Travis Wall didn't make me love the DiLellos for that one minute and 30 seconds in time. I will watch that again. Still, the other four are so far ahead of those two.

I really can't choose. If I must, I've gotta go with Jakob because he is divine. Just born to dance. But I would be happy with a win from any of those four.

I am made of stone. That Ryan-Ashleigh dance did nothing for me.
