There's more than one way to skin a cat. And I happen to know that's factually true.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

I'm so shallow. I'm over Jordan for the fringed boob. And I like Tadd for his musical selection. Loved how Clarice started but the rest of her solo was meh. Miranda's fringe is slightly less objectionable to me, but I am already tired of all the vertical leg extensions. Yes, they're impressive, but I've seen enough. Meh on Robert and Jess. Robert must have done better solos when he auditioned, huh? Mitchell was lovely, I would be sad if that was all we got to see of him.

I don't understand the Do Your Solos Again thing. WTF?

"We have trust issues." Mylar

It's a mother fuckin' dance off! Where were you when we needed you Daniel?

That whole dance for your life . . . again thing was just weird. In fact, the more I'm thinking about them not kicking anyone off, the saltier I'm getting. And of course, it's bullshit that they've never done it before. It happened the week that Billy got sick and they decided not to cut either Billy or Jose and I hated it then and I hate it now, although at least that time they did cut someone.

I don't care if you gotta cry and cut, judges, but cry and cut. Where were you when we needed you, Zulema?

We're very stretchy. - Connie Neil

Nick is a pale ass white boy.

Hee! And yes, he is definitely a white boy.

Despite their best efforts to continue to toss Ryan in my face, she made no impression on me.

I know! It was really sad how they keep on featuring her, and she's just blah.

The choreo looked like Sonya doing a bad Wade impression. And lookee there. It was Sonya doing a bad Wade impression

I was convinced it was a Wade number just from the moves that she used, but I really thought it was a sub-standard one from him. When Cat said it was Sonya, I was really surprised.

Friends don't let friends read "Atlas Shrugged"

OK, in the solos - all the girls seemed to do a "shake what your mama gave you" move. Are they trying to appeal to Nigel to stay on? for some of them it looked like it was just thrown in to appeal to anyone who's watching for the pretty girls.

"Cry havoc and let slip the boobs of war!" -- Miracleman

I'm over Jordan for the fringed boob.

I'm with you. She's an amazing dancer, and it was a cheap trick.

I don't care if you gotta cry and cut, judges, but cry and cut. Where were you when we needed you, Zulema?

I have so much love for this statement, you don't even KNOW.

I'm glad that Mitchell didn't get cut, but I do wish they'd made cuts, speaking of cheap tricks.

I saw who is in the 3rd chair for judging next week - is that a spoiler?

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."

I don't care if you gotta cry and cut, judges, but cry and cut.

Seriously.

I mean, way to discourage interest in your weekly results episode, SYTYCD.

Because books.

Aren't the results live, too? Aside from the entirely bizarre way Nigel pronounced "saxophonist", Clarence Clemons had the stroke and was admitted to the hospital days ago, not yesterday, so that was just ... wrong.

"Cry havoc and let slip the boobs of war!" -- Miracleman

Yes, he made it sound like it had just happened.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I don't have anything to add that hasn't been said, but:

- I will now only say saxophonist like Nigel did.
- I also think it's funny that Sasha and Alexander are together, name-wise.
- I wish they had just booted Robert, and was I hearing Nigel whispering, "He's not dancing" over the second solo, or am I crazy?
- I will also make heart hands at you people.
