Gunn: The final score can't be rigged. I don't care how many players you grease, that last shot always comes up a question mark. But here's the thing. You never know when you're taking it. It could be when you're duking it out with the Legion of Doom, or just crossing the street deciding where to have brunch. So you just treat it like it was up to you—the world in balance—'cause you never know when it is.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Here's apparently a long interview with Benji Schwimmer where he talks about being gay and a Mormon: [link]

Raise your hand if surprised?

OMG, these three roommates on SYTYCD!! I hope they can learn other choreo.

And I can't believe they put that karate kid joker through! Sheesh.

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."

that decision is made worse by the fact that they DID NOT SHOW THE DANCER who made Debbie Allen cry.

WTF.

Really.

My theory on that phenomenon in general is that they can't clear song rights.

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."

oh. that is much more reasonable than what I was thinking:

which began and ended at "WTF."

I made it up a couple of years ago. No idea if there's any basis in reality! But it does make me feel better.

Thrive to spite them

I haven't watched the first auditions of SYTYCD because they just showed up on Hulu - 8 day delay and only on the computer.

However, Master Chef is on the day after it airs so I'm watching that again.

... I kept trying to type Master Cher, which makes me think of a reality show contest for the best Cher Impersonator.

That's also what I assume, about song rights. That and for the people where they do a montage.

Is it just me, or are they sending everyone to Vegas? A lot of mediocre shit is getting through, IMHO.
