I'm just watching the Sing Off finale now. I'm so in love with Courtney from the BackBeats! Shocker, I know.
She ended up being the big surprise breakout performer of the season, didn't she? They didn't even have anything pre-filmed on her, but after just about every performance, the judges were plotzing all over her, and she walked away with the show at the end.

So far, Live to Dance is low on bullshit, so already this show is a winnah for me.

I had a higher priority tonight, but I`ll watch next ep if you guys say to. Is it a two a week schedule?

How was Live to Dance? A childhood friend of mine was spotted in the commercial so I really want to see if I can catch her! (We danced together, actually... wherein she was much, MUCH better than I ever was!)

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."
LTD was not bad. I only saw the first hour so far, but it kept up a rapid pace, so I'm okay with that. I didn't like the uneven viewing of dancers (some got a LOT of time, others not so much). Some questionable decisions to move people on, but oh well.

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."
Okay, so I finished LTD. The show is quite like the Got Talent shows but I wasn't as bored as I get with those shows (US and UK) sometimes. One problem with LTD is that I wasn't WOWED by any act yet. Typically at this stage, I can say: I really liked this group or that person and I'm not there yet. I think this is due to editing.
The schedule of the show is unknown so I have no idea how they will march 18 acts to the finale.
This show is pretty heavily produced, so I cannot imagine these are all first auditions. Some groups had SETS.

Top Chef is going to be EPIC tonight.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
The producers are really on fire with the challenges, for the most part.
