I thought his disco with Lauren blew chunks and was poorly danced (which is a first for him).
amen. It was terrible. they rushed the moves and didn"t work well together at all.
Anya: We should drop a piano on her. It always works for that creepy cartoon rabbit when he's running from that nice man with the speech impediment. Giles: Yes, or perhaps we could paint a convincing fake tunnel on the side of a mountain.

I still think Lauren has to take a lot of the blame -- every time they showed him hoisting her as dead weight over his head I cringe and think "heave-ho". And by "ho" I mean Lauren.
I would be okay with Sabra winning this over Danny. I could understand why she'd be America's favorite because she's got charisma, and a good underdog story.
Speaking of which, last night was the first night I noticed Cat saying this was a competition to be America's favorite dancer rather than America's best dancer. Have I just been fast forwarding through that all these weeks?

TC: So, Rock's new salary is $250K per year?
Day-um.
ETA: By TC, I clearly meant HK.

I am happy to blame the shittiness on Lauren.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Yeah, she's been saying it all along. And I think that's what Danny really had to get. I'm sure he's the BEST dancer up there, but it took him relaxing (and getting beaten down some for a while) to make him a favorite.

SYTYCD: Wasn't surprised at all at the results given Neil's performance last week. He's really been on an upswing. My housemate totally called this one, which cracks me up given his initial reaction to my wanting to Tivo this show. I'm very happy Lauren's out although Lacey is starting to bug me more and more.
I loved Daniel's description at TWOP of the opening dance: "The routine can best be described as A Midsummer Night's Swamp Thriller. The dancers are dressed in tattered rags of various shades of moldy and mottled green. They fight their way out from under a net to start, as fog spills over the stage, and proceed to spend the next couple of minutes hopping and kicking and shaking like various undead creatures in search of fresh brains. The women jump on the men's backs and ride them for a while. Tongues get poked out. Do I even need to tell you this was Wade Robson's piece?"

S to the A -- using they/them pronouns!
hee! I came in about a minute late, and I took one look at the dance, the costumes, and the lighting, and thought, "This is a Wade Robson dance." Lo and behold, it was. Wade needs to be careful about being too wedded to his style.

HK's winner, Rock, was interviewed on Talk of the Nation on NPR this afternoon. Apparently, the restaurant he's been working at is a DC favorite.

To understand what happened at the diner, we shall use Mr. Papaya! This is upsetting because he's the friendliest of fruits.
Rocco's got a new Top Chef blog up. The ongoing dialog between him and Anthony Bourdain is kind of fascinating.
