I was thinking that a combination of the dancers not wanting it to be widely known/advertised and the show wanted to emphasize the straight boys. (i.e., it does seem odd.)
Simon: Captain... why did you come back for us? Mal: You're on my crew. Simon: Yeah, but you don't even like me. Why'd you come back? Mal: You're on my crew. Why we still talking about this?

I love the family where ALL of the kids are dancers.

So, I'm watching "Friday" (love that movie, although it does lose a little something in the dubbing) and saw a commercial for All the Right Moves, starring our own Travis Wall!

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."
No, I totally noticed that and was disappointed, because even in my dance experience, it was one of the few places where young gay boys were welcome and encouraged. So I've been disappointed with so much of the the homophobia, hyper masculine focus in some of the other reality dance shows, especially sytycd. I was thinking with a "real world" dance show, there would be a more realistic presentation.

Friends don't let friends read "Atlas Shrugged"
They've started a new season of "Master Chef" - just got through winnowing the entrants down to 18. Some interesting people; I'm looking forward to seeing how it goes. One of the things I like is that the competitors aren't all cut-throat and bad-mouthing each other. At leat not yet.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
Was there no Food Network Star this week? We missed it because DH was blogging the Tonys for work, but the Tivo hasn't picked up any repeats either.

There was. It was 90 mintues so maybe it conflicted with something?

Todd,
I agree. I am interested in how they will treat the blind woman. I keep wanting them to give her a bit of extra time to cook.

Friends don't let friends read "Atlas Shrugged"
I find it interesting that they included her, but I have to wonder if she's in because they couldn't reject her out of hand. Yesterday's episode showed her with someonw who acts as her eyes - guides her around and, at one point, helped her find the olive oil she'd put on the counter. They emphasized that the guide won't have anything to do with the cooking. We'll see.
And Bubba went back to his swamp (his word, not mine).

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
SYTYCD: Oh, yay. I was really afraid the praying mantis guy would be too queer for them. He still may be, of course, but I expected them to send him to choreo for bullshit reasons.
And did that "big Italian family" blonde girl not do EVERY SINGLE THING Mary said not to, at the start? Come on, now.
