t, based on your sole recommendation, I will watch the first episode.
I like money better than people. People can so rarely be exchanged for goods and/or services!

Is the list of All Stars performing on SYTYCD next week considered a spoiler? Because I'm really excited about a couple of them!

It's still an hour and a half long, but it doesn't feel nearly as bloated. I don't think I fast-forwarded through any of it!
I'm not in love with any of the designers yet, but that's normal for so early, I think.

I do not like this 90-minute format. As a general matter, I mean, not PR specific. Primarily because it makes Tivo conflicts much harder to resolve because they conflict with more shows and don't rerun as often or as soon. (Factoid totally unrelated to my current grump: I forgot to record this one and won't get to until Saturday AM.)

Loved Tadd's solo--that'll be on my best-of dvd for the season. As much as I like Jess's style, his solo was just a rehash of his audition, and he needed to do something that would wow the judges, not the same-ol'-stuff. The girls were both very meh, and I'm hoping that Jordan was eliminated because of her constant reliance on HMV. So tired of her leg extensions!
PR: Excellent challenge! All the snarking about the winner's boxers were confusing me, though--wouldn't they have a washer and dryer there for them to use?

Yeah, the ninety-minute thing is just not right. I don't mind if it's a one-off for the first episode of something, but otherwise, no.
I like Bert so far! He made by far the most interesting, cutest, and most polished garment last night.
Rafael reminded me of Andre 3000, which I just realized this morning.

That's who Rafael reminds me of! I was trying to work it out all episode but I thought it was, like, someone I knew.
I agree, 90 minutes is clown shoes. And I like Bert, that dress was really cute. I am amazed that Anya figured out how to make those pants just "using common sense".

This is the greatest thing ever. I'm going to say this ALL THE TIME now. "NetFlix price hike? Clown shoes." "No Mark shout-out on Dance? Clown shoes." LOVE.
Anya is really impressive. I hope she can continue to pull it out, at least for a while. Those pants were really well made.

I can't take credit, it's from Jay and Silent Bob, but I can attest it's a useful phrase in a variety of situations.

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."
I agree with Amy. I love that phrase. I am going to use it too!
