Ricky Ubeda! Shut up. I am living for Ricky Ubeda and his scraggly chest hair. Yes!

I actually really like 3/4 of this final four. Jessica is kind of an empty vessel but then again, all the girls were this year, with the exception of White Tanisha. But I'm really glad Valerie got into the finale. Her hip hop with Twitch was fun. And I'm over the moon that Zack knocked off Casey. His hip hop with Fik-Shun was delightful and he really brought it. And I was super impressed with the Chbeeb's choreography. Nice debut number. The hip hop has been much improved this year.

I watched but took no notes because I'm tired and I can't see any scenario in which Ricky does not win.

So very true!

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.

I just watched it, thought Zack was really charismatic in that number. Fabulous.

It is cracking me up that the "get the Runway makeup look at home" ad shows off bottom looks.

And I'm pretty sure those Samsung ovens defy physics.

On topic - I love the winning look, yay! And the other top look that wasn't Amanda. I finally liked Mitchell this week, although his dress was terrible. Guy with the butt cheeks on display got so lucky.

Also loved Fade's dress, I'd've put it in the top.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I assume they'll have Valerie and Zach do a tap number next week??

Solo sytycd watch and post:

That Broadway was a delight. I'm sure the disco was very difficult and they danced it fine, but I didn't actually like it. Did not love Ricky's solo, either. Huh. Did love the Foxtrot! Especially Zack. Like Jessica's solo fine. OMG VALERIE AND TWITCH!!! Fantastic. And Valerie's solo! I think I love her now. And Zack killed his solo. Tappers, man. I liked Jessica and Ade more than I expected to when they were talking about it beforehand. And Jacque's solo, clever and cute. Mmm, cha cha. Nice. Zack & Fikshun! Mesmerizing. Well done Mr. Chbeeb. Tappers doing hip hop, woo!

I assume they'll have Valerie and Zach do a tap number next week??

They have to, right?

I kind of thought they would have done it this week, but maybe they had enough sense of the voting already that they'd both be in the finale?

Oh, that does make sense.

Face Off: I LOVE this challenge SO MUCH. But I am so disappointed in the missed opportunity for a Cheshire Cowardly Lion, that could have been great. Sasha needs to get a lot more assertive with her partners. But the top looks are fantastic. So happy with the winner.
