I like the way the walls go out. Gives you an open feeling. Firefly is a good design. People don't appreciate the substance of things. Objects in space. People miss out on what's solid.

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.

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!

Yes, and yes. Caitlynn was good in the tango, but her hairflippy solos just drive me bonkers.

As opposed to Sasha, who turns out OMFG-amazing solos!!! I am actually looking forward to seeing her solos every week from here to the finale, because she will make it to that finale, damnit, although she'll probably end up like Ellenore and in second or third place overall.

Honestly, if they are not going to do boy/girl eliminations (and I do think they said last week that they would do 1 dance with an All-Star and 1 paired up), I think the final two will be Melanie and Sasha, as is right and true. I'm not sure anyone else has any real fan base besides them.

From looking at comments elsewhere, Tadd and Jess have a lot of fans as well.

Oh, I'm sure they have been the ones keeping Jordan and Clarice in, but it will be interesting to see how they do with the All-Stars. They didn't really get anything difficult this week.
