This girl at school? She told me that gelatin is made from ground-up cow's feet and that every time you eat Jell-O there's some cow out there limping around without any feet. But I told her that I'm sure the cow is dead before they cut its feet off, right?

I was pretty distracted during most of the show, ransacking my house to see if I could find my phone, but that was one I did catch and went "Is there an opposite of stank face? Because Ryan has it--too much smile!" Maybe she and Janine's sister need to talk.

Okay y'all, I'm catching up on SYTYCD and I was irritated with the praise for Missy in the cha-cha and the under the bus throwing of Wadi. Wadi was not good, but I watched Missy - she was not very good either. She didn't really help Wadi into the lifts.

That was a bad performance and it wasn't just Wadi's fault.

Thrive to spite them

I caught up on youtube vids of the dances. The one for Jess and Clarice has the audio disabled due to copyright claim.

It's interesting to watch it without the sound. I don't know what it's like with the sound, but I couldn't get caught up in the music I could just watch it and Jess really really struggled. At times it looked like they were dancing two different pieces and he wasn't -flingy - enough for contemporary.

He had to performed better than that in Vegas, I can't imagine that kind of contemporary performance in Vegas week getting him through.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Does Tadd have ballroom experience? He certainly has a lot of general training.

I think it's an interesting conundrum they have put themselves in -- expecting people to be good at various things from the start, but still making them pretend to be just one style, and then you get shows like this, where everyone is pretty good, so who goes home? No one's a trainwreck. Maybe later?

Pssst, Mary -- If you are wearing so much make up that I can see the tear track through your face powder, you might want to dial it back a little.

SERIOUSLY.

And on The Voice, I just have to say how ridiculous are the hots I am having for Blake Shelton.

And a million feet tall, and seriously just fatherly/mentorish toward "his girls," even though he will creep on someone else's.

SYTYCD: UGH! Generally annoyed re: the girls, half-sad re: the boys.

Because books.

Yeah, I really liked Nick. And I don't hate Ryan, but I think she was the wrong one to save.

Did Iveta go home and Nick go home?

NO!!! Why is she still on my show!!! UGH. I hate her!

I'm sad about Nick and Wadi. I would have been happy if either of them stayed (although I wanted them both!). I wasn't particularly enamored with Ricky, although he turned it out in his solo, I will admit.
