Really?!

The weird thing is I grew up with A&P but I haven't seen one around here for years.

To be fair, I barely know there is a Mrs. Fields brand, but I generally assume branded personalities are fictional.

I am under the impressions that A&P covers a much smaller area than they used to - I know we had them in Baton Rouge when I was a kid, but I don't think they are there anymore. So I start off nostalgic for them, but then that Cake song about the Alpha Beta parking lot horns in and all nostalgic retail musings eventually end up with K&B, I guess.

Moving on to Top Chef Masters. I don't think I know any of these chefs by name.

I don't know about the sous chef thing. I guess it makes sense, but I won't be watching the online competition and I hope that won't be like not doing my homework for this show.

With you on the sous chef thing.

But, how many producers crapped their pants when David Burke ended up in the bottom three on the first ep? Meanwhile Baby Voltaggio gets a basket of carrots and raisins and pulls out a top three.

Yeah, that can't have been the plan. Though maybe they were all "Woo-hoo, America won't see that coming!"

Taking away their knives was one hell of an obstacle!

I kind of want to go sky-diving. But none of those dishes made me hungry, which surprises me. I wish they would recap what each chef made when they do the top 3 and bottom 3 critiques, I have no idea what one of the top dishes was.

Too bad about the oysters, that just seems unfortunate. At least he didn't have to pack his knives without using them, I guess.

Eta: I take that back about none of the dishes making me drool, the beet salad sounds really good.

It's the older Voltaggio, no? The younger one won their season.

My local supermarket chain just got bought by Albertson's, speaking of supermarkets. I had just been wondering if there were national supermarkets, and I guess it turns out there are, they just have different names.

SYTYCD: I thought the girls were especially good this week.

And I'm very relived about the eliminations. Sad t see them go, but there were better people who needed to stay.

My thoughts, too, quester.

Supermarket Superstar - I was all excited about the Russian cuisine, but Ksenia's piroshki is not much like what my family makes and she says the word different - which most people do, but it still bums me out. I don't think I can root for her.

I don't care at all about National Dance Day. There, I said it. That felt good.

Group Dance/Dimman Kryperer Sakat In – Why is Malece all up in my grill from the very beginning? That’s unfortunate. This dance is very Cirque up in here at the beginning. And so much fog. I can’t even see the kids. But once the fog clears, ooh, twisted ballroom. Wonder who the choreographer is. Dmitri, maybe? Umm, Paul was turning it all the way out. He was crazy sexy in that boy’s triangle. Other Jasmine was also amazing during her time at center. Alan and Nico (whom I still don’t enjoy all that much), I see you. Nobody else made that much of an impression. That opening dance seemed really short. But enjoyable. Bravo, whoever. Yep, Dmitri, with a little help from Sonya for the Cirque-ier elements.

Side Note: Cat’s lipstick is way too dark for her coloring. Discuss.

Another one bites the dust? Dammit, show! Poor, Curtis. Ah well, he was slated for the chopping block this week anyway.

Guest Judge: I love Anna Kendrick. I think she’s as cute as a button. And she’s probably sassy and clever. Plus, she was wonderful in Camp, an underrated classic of the cinema and I think she can probably dance. Upgrade.

Dance Ins: Malece and Alan look well together. I’ll take it. Amy and Fik Shun are still favorites. Jasmine and Aaron are still the cutest.

B3 Jasmine Alan Alexis Curtis Mackenzie Nico

Oh, hell no, America. Jasmine in B3? Y’all are on that monkey crack. I’m assuming that the judges asked to see her solo so that they could drum up support for her.

Alexis/Stand by Me – Yep. I’m all the way over her. All the way over the tip toe tap. Her upper body is still weird. And she is a heavy dancer in every other style. And the outfit is an abomination before the lord. Go home, girl.

Jasmine/Endangered Species – Look at the plié in second. Suck it, bitches! That said, this solo was a little sloppy. She was kind of all over the place. The last turn sequence into the heel stretch was very well timed, though. It was alright. I like her much better in choreography.

Jenna and Tucker/Hip Hop/Slight Work/Wale feat. Big Sean - Jenna and Tucker get hip hop again? Damn. Who did they piss off? Well, Luther Brown can do some solid choreo when the mood strikes, so I’m hoping this will not be another MJ hot mess. They looked good in rehearsals. Let’s hope they didn’t leave it all in the studio. Jenna had some impressive hairography going and the twerking section on top of the speakers, she was kinda giving me booty, booty, booty, booty, shaking everywhere. And while she got into the hip hop character better, it still wasn’t quite right. She was trying too hard to bring the swag. Tucker was just way too goofy white boy to pull off this routine. It was like watching Ryan Gosling try to dance hip hop. Awkward. His movements were too pulled up, too big and too smooth. He looked like a cheerleader. It was a decent routine. Not that hard, but it was real hip hop, not storytelling lyrical hop. Nigel got it just right. Not convincing. Tucker was way too pulled up and Jenna was a try hard. Also, I don’t want to hear Mary say ratchet ever again. Go ahead, Anna. Just say it. It wasn’t good.
