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

Mitchell's so charming. I'm kind of surprised, but that was a nice little disclaimer from Nigel. I am so intensely curious what NPH was saying when we peeked at the judges!

call me jacki; zuisa is an internet nick from ancient times =)

I'm sort of surprised too. I thought they both did really well last night, but then again, I think we're at the point where everyone is going to be doing really well all the time. They are all amazing.

Nigel said that no one did anything wrong, I think that's why there wasn't a critique. I liked Mitchell, but Ricky does very strong solos. Also, there was no way that Jordan was going home. Outfit not withstanding.

Because books.

Ricky's solo was really good last night. I think I underestimated him.

Ricky seemed to hit a new level this week.

Yes, a new, better level called "lack of Ryan."

BTW, "Les bourgeois" is most assuredly not a love song. The chorus translates roughly as "The middle class are like pigs, the older they get, the dumber they get; The middle class are like pigs, the older they get the more they become assholes." I love the song, but it was an odd choice for a dance number on SYTYCD.

Was that the Jacques Brel piece?
