I can't even imagine the amount of pressure they are all under. This last week must have been absolutely insane.
These girls have the most beautiful dresses. And so do I -- how about that?

I think one of the beautiful things about Sasha as a dancer is she is fierce but also fragile. Melanie is more grounded and warm, but Sasha is vulnerable as well as tough.

Sasha was all angles and layers, Melanie was rounded and culy-que.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
So it was Melanie, right? I can watch the show tomorrow, but I can't bear to try to avoid the result.

Project Runway: What the hell is this challenge? I get the outdoor, live show, and that's cool, but stilts?

Someone really thought there were no memorable routines? Wow. I am thinking of many routines I would have liked to have seen tonight and didn't, which just points to how strong the season was.
There were plenty of very good ones, but not many that hit me in the gut or just made me go wow, that's really cool.
There are very few that I want to watch over and over as in previous seasons. Stuff like the hummingbird/flower, black mambo, the garden, gravity, etc.
For me, a lot of it has to do with not liking the music as much. Maybe I'm spoiled, but I don't know how many dances* I'll remember when a season or two has gone by.
*Not dancers, because I think both Melanie and Sasha were fierce.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
Was Sasha okay?
It looked to me like she was limping and being helped offstage, plus some of the judges commented on her battling through an injury. I hope it's nothing serious/long lasting.

It struck me that with rehearsing for repeats of dances they'd done before as well as the new ones - and were they in the group dance at the beginning? - the top four were probably exhausted. So happy with the top two.

The top four came out near the end of the opening group dance - much less dancing for them, more standing and posing. Which I have NO problem with. In the last two days they had 4 new partnered dances, a solo, and then multiple repeat dances. How do you keep all that straight in your head and not fall over during all the rehersals, I don't know.
