A ghost? What's the deal? Is every frat on this campus haunted? And if so, why do people keep coming to these parties, cause it's not the snacks.

Danger is my middle name, only I spell it R. u. t. h. - Tina Belcher.

I will watch until I can't anymore. I will report on how good or bad it is.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

My only opinion so far is that if Jaja doesn't make it on to the show, I'm going to cut someone.

My understanding is that as soon as they get to Top 20, it's the usual mix of styles for everyone.

But it looked like Vegas week only involved hip hop choreography for the street dancers and only "stage" stuff for those dancers?!? That would be awful (though I'm sure some street dancers can't do ANY choreography, so...)

Thrive to spite them

I may have missed this but is anyone watching Next Food Network Star? I don't really watch it but I'd seen all the Chopped and Cuthroat Kitchen episodes on On Demand so I watched.

There was one smart alec-y infruiating guy. One of those hipster mansplainer types. And he landed in the bottom three and in the group while they were waiting to hear who got cut he was bitching about how good his food was and how the judges didn't know anything and I think he may have implied they were old.

Anyway they went back out and Giada was about to tell someone she was eliminated and this kid smirked. They cut to Bobby Flay saying "he's just young" and Giada said "can I change my vote? I'm changing my vote."

So he was eliminated based on his attitude. It was refreshing to see because I thought they'd keep him around for entertainment value.

Yeah, that was amazing.

It was. I think he only got Giada's vote based on his food so when he acted like the pompous jerk he was it was very gratifying to see him smacked down.

Yes, it was very very gratifying. There was nothing for him to be cocky about.

Yes, through Vegas week, they will still be doing the whole separate but equal thing to which I say a hearty "Feh". I don't know if the plan is to start style mixing once the Top 20 kicks off but I sincerely hope so because I will be hot if I turn on the show each week only to see stage kids always dancing like Contemporary or Broadway while street kids only dance hip hop and...I guess more hip hop? I mean, what would that even do? They kind of have to mix at that point because much like stage dancers are not suddenly going to pick up tap or be able to dance en pointe in the span of a week, street dancers won't suddenly be able to turn into b-boys or do bone breaking if they've never done it before.

Also, I'm bored now, but much like with Idol, I'll keep watching until the bitter end. I just don't feel moved to write anything about it, which is incredibly sad because chatting SYTYCD with y'all was one of my favorite things in life!

kat, your commentary is one of the things I most look forward to every season!
