Woah -- shocking ending on Top Chef.

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

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.

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

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.

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.)

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.

I just watched the Princes routine a couple more times. That was like the best chemistry in a while! I would like to see the routine with Neil a little bit sharper-- maybe he'll get it on tour. Now I want to got to the tour! Jesse, kat?

After last week, I was sure I was going to be for Sabra. Now I'm torn. The judges were saying how Neil peaked at the right time (I think it was Neil). Anyway, I think Sabra peaked last week. She looked so exhausted this week, and pale. She was still wonderful, but not as wonderful as she was. This week, I'm leaning Danny. I do think that this was the best week for both Lacey and Neil, though. Not that they were best, but that it was their best.

I know nothing about dance, but I really liked the foxes dance. And no, I wouldn't have gotten that they were foxes, but I think I would have gotten some kind of animal. I liked the waltz. Not so much the lindy hop. I liked the second half of the cha cha, but thought Sabra and Danny looked awkward together, which was even more disappointing because I had high expectations. I don't know what to say about Mia's piece. I didn't like the dance all that much, but Danny and Neil were ssssmokin'. I agree that there should be more same-sex dances.

I'm not sure how I feel about this do-over. However, in looking at next week's previews, it seems that Brian is FOH again. Is that really a wise idea? I would've swapped them out and put Casey out there. She seemed much more in command when she came out during this episode.
