I liked the Bollywood opening number. I mean, I couldn't tell you if it was a particularly good one, but I always like it when there's a whole stage full of people dancing that style.
I fell down and got confused. Willow fixed me. She's gay.

What the hell kind of dancer has never seen Gene Kelly? BLASPHEMY!!!
That was shocking! He must have hit Youtube sometime during the week, though, because he did pretty well in trying to move like Gene Kelly
Cat's dress was also not good. It looked like swinging '60s London but cutesy or something.
Agreed. The bow and the gathers of the skirt so did not work.

Alex Fucking Wong!
Yes, I read y'all's exclamations above and knew he'd be on, but still.
OK, but …he's not a latin dancer. So that's a little random.
I think it's a matter of anywhere they could fit him, and I am grateful. I have no idea how Jenna danced, though, 'cause I was just watching him. Such a delight.
And she's a ballroom girl, maybe even Latin, isn't she? Perhaps it was decided that having hr dance with another ballroom dancer would be too much at this stage of the game.

Hey, there's some rise and fall in that Viennese waltz! That might be all I need.

Aaron/Jasmine-hiphop: Wait, I actually like this. Even though it's NappyTab. Is there something wrong with me? There's a few moments where he's not selling it, but mostly it's good. And I don't hate the choreo. WTF?
Right? That was way better than I expected.

Mmm, I'm with Amy on the Man's World dance. I kind of expected to hate it from the description, but the actual dance I liked very much.
And I rather like the flannel. Mmm, grunge.
I hate Malice even more for using the word "impactful".
HAHAHAHA! I love that you said that, meara. But it wasn't Malece who said impactful. To be honest, I don't know which brunette said it, maybe Mackenzie? No Jenna, I think it was Jenna.

Top Chef: Damn, that quickfire is harsh! Kinda brilliant.
Eta: and I'm intrigued by the coffee/granola/venison thing. Clever!

the sous chef thing really makes me laugh with Bryan Voltaggio. MFNLaw and I go to Volt all of the time and see his sous chef in the kitchen. there's a camera in the kitchen and they will set the TV in the bar to the kitchen.

Aw, Project Runway. I'm so glad Braden won. Aside from the relationship stuff (which was amazing timing-wise! And allergy inducing), the shorts and jacket he kind of threw together because he was spending so much time on the top were so cute!
That said, I'm thoroughly annoyed at the Sandro conflict and flashback opening to the show. So unnecessary. I'm tired of that from suspense-based dramas, I don't need it from competition shows. Just, no.
