I could not believe they kept Danushka in! She may be a good cook but her on screen persona is pretty much the worst thing ever. And aside from the big rack, I don't even find her all that hot. I like the Pie Guy and the dark haired pixie girl who owns the diner? I also like the dude who beat Bobby Flay on Iron Chef, but that may be just because I am in favor of Bobby Flay losing as often as possible.

On the Voice, what is this, Usher and the New Power Generation?

He seemed like the love child of James Brown and Michael Jackson.

SYTYCD:

They need to keep the back story of Cyrus' ex back. WAY back. Back. I'm already tired of it.

Half the people I thought should not have gone through to Vegas were eliminated straight away, like first round. I wonder why they bothered.

SYTYCD: Anything worth seeking out from last night's episode?

That's a difficult question to address. I enjoyed watching the episode and there was good dancing featured (with the camera people's maddening cutaways) but if you missed the ep, it isn't a big enough deal - the groups in general seemed much better this season than any season prior. I do think the judges overpraised some dancers, IMO, which made their cuts seem even more justified.

Next week is the final 20 with performances.

I just watched this morning and it felt very "filler episode" to me.

Good to know. My DVR can no longer pick up the new cable feed so I can't record.

I have the opera next week too, so I'll have to go online for those. It is so annoying that FOX won't post the shows online the next day like almost everyone else does.

So once my notes and musings hit 6 pages plus, I thought to myself, "What have you done?" and realized that was a little bit excessive even for me and if I really had that much to say, I should just start blogging the show again. Which I do not plan to do as I don't have the time but rather than post 6 plus pages of notes and musings here and clog up the next 10 posts, I threw all that up on my blog here and you are all welcome to peruse if you'd like. I found the episode overwhelming what with squeezing all of Vegas Week into two hours and the lack of Miss Debbie Allen was almost inexcusable. That said, the talent level this year seems quite high and it's looking like we may get more than just 7 contemporary dancers and a baby in both our boys and girls top 10s this year, so there's that. But all in all, I don't think you missed much if you didn't see it.

The Voice: It's Michelle or bust for me. Really disappointing end to what started out as a promising season.

Thank goodness for kat p recaps! I missed a bunch, and felt like I missed more, but no. It was impossible to keep track of anyone amidst the bullshit.

On The Voice, I wonder if the country kids will split the vote, or if country is just too big, and even then, I'm not sure who would win. I would have said the little blond girl, but the bros are pretty charming.
