Yeah, out of the two finalists, I really would have preferred Suzi win.

I would have enjoyed Suzi's (Vic's probably even more) but I think the concept of the winning show is interesting and not something that's out there right now.

(I have to say I was starting to get tired of the "things my father did/did not anticipate when he crossed the border" theme.)

"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."

Vic was my favorite. I always thought Suzi's food looks delicious. I'm just not interested in a show about sandwiches, plus I find what's his name is annoying.

Yeah, I was surprised Vic didn't make it. He was adorable.

I just had a brainflash of Jilli on NFNS. Note I've never seen the show, and I have no idea if Jilli can cook, but the image was pretty stunning, I must say.

Re: Melanie's figure--she strikes me as having a barrel chest, which gives her more of a rounded torso, so her middle isn't "doughy" so much as it doesn't seem to taper down to a thin waist.

Also, on rewatching the finale, I think that Sasha had definitely lost some weight during the final few weeks, because she definitely thinner than she had been in the beginning of the season. Nerves and lots of rehearsals, probably.

I'm watching SYTYCD S6 on Ovation right now and I don't even recognize these people. I remember Nathan and Mollee, and I remember the top six, but anyone else? Yikes.

And to whoever commented on Nigel being a hardass this season? Wow, you're right. He is RIPPING Nathan apart in the episode I'm watching right now.
