Nana korobi, ya oki. (Fall down seven times, stand up eight.) ~Yuzuru Hanyu/Japanese proverb

That's the right number, Jesse. Are you leaving a number out when you dial, maybe? There's a lot of eights all in a row.

Woah -- shocking ending on Top Chef.

they're 866 numbers.

I think i might want Danny to win, which is weird since i hated him at the beginning, mildly disliked him in the middle, was apathetic towards the end. he really is a beautiful dancer though. i think the fact that he's letting his personality show through has made a big difference to me.

also? i adored Neil/Danny number.

"We have trust issues." Mylar

I so want Danny to win. Well, I always did, but after tonight? It will just be criminal if he doesn't win.

To understand what happened at the diner, we shall use Mr. Papaya! This is upsetting because he's the friendliest of fruits.

Whoa. Do-over? Did not see that coming.

I know! And it's totally awesome. That competition's fowled up nearly everybody, every season. I'm curious to see how it flies with the second shot.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.

I don't understand why they hated the girls' number so much. And I was annoyed that the boys spent half the time sitting in chairs. Although they were totally about to get dirty. And I loved when Danny winked when he said "This is for you, Nigel," or whatever the line was. I like when Danny gets campy.

Jesse is totally me, even down to thinking (before I saw this post!) that Danny is campy. I mean, "We Are the Champions!" Last week's solo was all a satire on Neil! He doesn't get enough credit for that.

And, agreed: there needs to be more homoerotic dancing on this show. It's a missed opportunity. The Mia dance really shone whereas the others were not nearly as interesting. (Well, Wade's was interesting, just not enough dancing. I don't even understand how you can judge a fucking FLOWER but not a fox. This was the same reaction as the goggles dance, and I DO NOT GET how it's distinguishable from judging other modern dances.)

Art Crawl!!!

So, does that mean that they've got much higher expectations than they had for seasons 1 and 2? Or just that they are so even that neither really did better than the other?

And bringing Dale and Brian in -- that was just cruel.
