The Face Off wedding episode was so much better than the PR wedding episode. And I think I like that they didn't do the elimination yet so there was no one being bummed at the weddings (or on the 100th episode, for that matter).
The Hallmark challenge on PR was better than I expected.
Zac Posen is no Michael Kors, but I do enjoy the way he gets up and really checks out every dress as they're making their final decision. Heidi and Nina only get out of their chairs if he points out something really interesting.
Okay, what the FUCK was that fish number?
I'm going to whitefont because it literally just aired, but I don't understand
Derek's
popularity. I mean, I guess he's just the second-lowest, but he seems like not much.
I don't understand Megz being in the bottom.
Geisha and ninja? Really? Really?? Ugh.
Have only been half-watching the show tonight but there's been some good stuff I'll re watch later. Less than impressed by white people choreographing ninja geisha BS (much as I like Joshua!).
...now to see who gets kicked off.
Oh yeah, I did mean to note about both of those things! WTF.
AND I was 100% with Cat with her WTF WRT Alex doing Bollywood!
I'm not sure if I've become more aware of it or if the SYTYCD people are becoming more blatant, but the cultural appropriation/stereotyping is getting to me. I may have to give up the show - the "geisha" and "ninja" number, the "African Jazz", the Bollywood (although that grates less, I think because it's playing off a commercial interpretation of a cultural dance), but they're going past annoying into offensive. And this is from a middle-class white person ....
PR: I like this challenge, I think, but still no Mood! What's going on?
Have y'all watched Ink Master? They do the judging with the contestants in the room! It's bananas.
