I wasn't so big on Amanda for a long time, but she just won me over this week! And lost America, I guess.
To commemorate a past event, you kill and eat an animal. It's a ritual sacrifice, with pie.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I am not surprised that Amanda went home as she is just the kind of good that is good but not great/unusual enough to stand out that tends to make a great "shocking" elimination. Kind of like the Latoya London of The Voice (rather than the JHud). And as far as this:
And every week she seemed to let them dress her up however they wanted.
The ever lengthening, every blonding weave parade was getting out of control. She looked so cute with her short bob when the season first started.
I wish someone other than Amanda had gone home (Hi, Cassadee!) but once it got down to Amanda vs. Nicholas, I was full on Camp Nicholas David. I still don't think he'll win, but of the people left on the show, I think he should win.

Occasionally I’m callous and strange
I have GOT to figure out a way to watch next season of SYTYCD live so I can watch and post here because dang, I'm finally watching the final 2 shows tonight and it's agonizing to not have anyone to share reactions with! Well, except the cats, and they don't care at all about dancing (except to become very wary of my feet). Like the moment in the final results show when Tiffany started that disco routine and I haven't really been paying full attention to the intro and for a few horrified moments I thought she had selected that as her favorite dance that she wanted to do again! No way! *Phew*, nope. And the episode before that when Eliana finally got access to a pole for a dance (I very clearly recall a clip of her pole dancing in the audition episode) and then the poor girl barely got to touch it. I assume since Tiffany couldn't master it in the limited rehearsal time given and it seemed unfair to give one girl more time on such a scene stealer....but still. There's few things more amazing than a really artistic/acrobatic pole dance routine.

Literally said "Holy SHIT!" out loud at the end of TAR.
In a good way.

Wow, and surprising--the first time you win, and it's a big one!
I was almost sad the Chippendales didn't win, though.
And when the monster trucker at the end said he'd opened his mind and was more accepting of the gays, my roommate turned to me and said "And I've become more accepting of monster truckers!" Hah.

Sad for the Chippendales. I just found the Beekmans so unpleasant most of the time.

I was definitely sad for the Chippendales!
