Much as I loved a few of the numbers, I think that was my favorite part of the show. Woo, go NPH!

I loved Sasha and Twitch, and also the tango. And sexxay Brandon. I like Melanie, but wasn't feeling that waltz.

I'm pretty sure Mitchell will go home for the guys, but any idea which girl will go home?

I thought they just sent the one at this point, like season 7? They did all-stars and sent home one a week, and got to 6 boys and Lauren at one point. But then, that would make for a lot of shows left, huh. I have no idea what they are doing.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I saw some reference last night to a bottom four, so maybe it is just one going home? And it's not all on the votes yet? They would have said something, right? Of course, I also thought they were dancing in new all-new-people pairs this week. I'm corn-fused.

SYTYCD - Loved seeing the All Stars - I think the level of dancing may have gone up.

And sumi - one of the people who made a truly spectacular mess went home, but no one got more than nasty comments about how bad their dish was.

And favorite quote, Gordon Ramsey, "Smile, mum. You're scaring the contestants."

Okay, going home on SYTYCD:

women: I now want Caitlynn to go BADLY. Her solos are atrocious. Please America, help me out.

men: Mitchell is a fucking goner. He had the worst choreo of any other person. They really want the bus run over him.

Thrive to spite them

What did NPH say about Tyce's choreography? And Nigel react to it?

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."

Oh NPH was such a wonderful judge. I want to hug him and make him a permanent judge ASAP. He clearly had watched the season, was really knowledgeable, and had good opinions that made sense - even if I didn't agree with them sometimes.

Anyway, he stomped all over Tyce's broadway choreo (with Mitchell) and said he didn't get how what was discussed in the taped segment matched what the dancers had conveyed in the dance. Rightly, Mitchell made the most of the bad choreo, but it was really bad.

NPH also praised a later dance from Tyce that was really great. I think Tyce needs not to do broadway at all because when he gets out of that box, he can produce really good work.

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb

which is kinda what Nigel said. I wonder why, if he feels that they keep him doing B'way. GET SOMEONE ELSE!!! Get the brothers!
