Side Note: Cat’s lipstick is way too dark for her coloring. Discuss.
Hah--both my sister and roommate commented on that separately. I thought it was good, but not with the dress she was wearing.
Look at the plié in second. Suck it, bitches!
This was totally a moment I called out to my sister, all "Damn, look at that plie!"
I love that Anna Kendrick is a true fan.
One thing I do love about this show is the guest judges are so often clearly FANS--who have watched several seasons.
Y'all, new salsa choreographer was apparently actually a contestant on SYTYCD in S5! Jonathan Platero. 1) I have no memory of this kid. 2) I was totally right when I said that he looked young enough to be a contestant on SYTYCD and I love being right! 3) I love that the show continues to let former contestants come back as choreographers.
He...really!?!? I don't remember him AT ALL.
I am a bad person for not caring for the bullying dance, I suppose.
If this is wrong, then I don't want to be right. I enjoyed the kids in the dance and I liked that the choreographer didn't just pull a Cedric on Fik Shun and actually expected him to dance as much as all the other kids in the piece. But, it was still overly literal, manipulative twaddle. Well danced, overly literal manipulative twaddle, which I suppose is better than poorly danced twaddle, but not by much.

Ha! Yeah, I can support that.

I am, in general, a fan of the dark, dramatic lip, but with her coloring and that pale dress, it just wasn't right. Maybe if the hair hadn't also been so severe?
I feel like I have to go back and look at S5 to see who Jonathan was. It's very rare that I don't remember Top 20 contestants at all. I must've blocked him out, but really, how bad could he have been? I still remember Big Pasty and Kayla's first partner who was also the only non-hot Russian ballroom dancer of all time and Scarecrow looking Jonnis from all the way back in S1. Could he have been worse than all of them? Hmmmmm.
OMG, how could we forget the cha cha to Poker Face?
More Jonathan for kat:
Week 2: Falling Slowly
Week 3: By My Side
They had a predictably stupid discussion of BB on the Slate Culture Gabfest this week, and the most annoying part was that Willa Paskin said you can tell the players are superfans because of their use of lingo like "back dooring" and "head of household"....
So, people who watch Top Chef Masters, I have to ask, do you notice the Anolon Gourmet Cookware sponsorship? It jumps out at me, but I'm primed to notice it, and I'm curious how it comes across to others.
I haven't paid really strict attention to either episode this season, but I know in past seasons all of the product placement/sponsorship has felt very in your face. Same with Masterchef this season, I have to say.
Last night's quickfire is totally appetizing. Lamb with pomegranate just sounds so good, whatever else you have on the plate.
Oh, we get a Yoplait Frozen Yogurt challenge for Runway! I'm so excited!
