Frankenbuddha - I agree with you about the challenges this week. Loved the quickfire family thing and I think that the soldiers' meal challenge was the best one of this sort that I remember.
I hope Traci wins the show.
Gabriel: Are you trying to destroy this family? Simon: I didn't realize it would be so easy.

Friends don't let friends read "Atlas Shrugged"
SYTYCD - the guy with the awful unitard - he said his mother made it for him. And then a friend painted it for him. WTF? It did, however, make him stand out ....

I enjoyed the hidden relative one quite a bit.
That was great, but I can't believe no one recognized their relative.

That was great, but I can't believe no one recognized their relative.
I thought that was kind of weird, too, but then I thought that they were focused on the challenge, not so much figuring out who the person was.

I am kind of in love with Professor Lock. Did he make it through? And here he is working an "Indubitably" shirt. [link] Also though Ricky Jamie was adorable.
I got very, very tired of Natalia, just watching the clips.
Why can't they get any amazing ballroom people who are not 45 years old? It seems like there was so much ballroom talent at first, and the last few seasons, pathetic.

Yeah, I kind of wonder if like, word is OUT in the ballroom community "don't go audition for them! it's awful!" or something. I mean really.

The ballroom thing is just weird, especially when you consider that the ballroom alums have had some of the greatest post-show success. Practically half the cast of Dancing with the Stars got their starts on SYTYCD - Lacey, Dmitry, Chelsea, Peanut has choreographed for them (not to mention the fact that Louis has done choreo for SYTYCD). Pasha and Anya made a huge splash in Burn the Floor. You see the former ballroom kids out and about doing well much more frequently than most of the winners, truth be told.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
What the actual fuck? I am upset about Professor Lock !!

I really like that it feels like they paid attention to what did and didn't work last year. Granted, announcing a top 20 takes longer than 10 (or 11?) did, but I'm so glad they aren't doing the stupid travelogue of telling everyone at home, and instead are doing a crapload of dancing! Fun.
