Yeah, it is hard to believe that was unanimous. And I am so sad to see Nick go before we get a chance to see him do hip hop or jazz or anything really exciting (it's so unfair that he goes home after doing well at Bollywood!) but I would have been sad if Ricky got sent home just for being dragged down by Ryan, too. They really really should have sent someone home last week. It would have been a shame if we never got to see Miranda do hip hop because Robert was the obvious one to go, but at least it would have been just how the show works.
And I still don't understand their reasoning for keeping Ryan. I wouldn't have kept her just because of her out of control Performance Smile, but even allowing for differing taste I don't understand keeping her based on their critiques and feedback. Ridiculous.
Eta: that's interesting about the ratings, le n. Even so, it wasn't like the bottom three last week were out of left field.
Reality Blurred wasn't thrilled with the eliminations on SYTYCD either:

Oh, god, the Gatorade thing. I had blocked that from my memory.
Anyone still watching Next Food Network Star? I think Penny is in trouble, and I can't say I mind. I think she had potential, and a hook for her show, but she's competing as if she's on Survivor.
Anyone still watching Next Food Network Star?
I am, but I think I'm an ep behind. Penny makes for good reality TV, but I'm not sure she's actually competing to have a cooking show. I think she's competing to get notice by other reality producers.
Anyone still watching Next Food Network Star?
I am. I can't stand most of the competitors this year though.
Penny serving the burnt up mac and cheese was insane. I wanted to try to like Orchid, but she is just kind of bland.
ARGH, my Tivo cut off before the end of the show - it only taped an hour, but I guess the whole thing was 90 minutes? Guess I'll catch it on Hulu.
So, remember when Adam who won Big Brother was arrested for dealing drugs? Matty from that same season is also doing time for being part of the "ring," and is blogging from prison. [link] Good times.
Food TV Star on hulu? I couldn't find the current season.
