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.
PR: Is that a record, three episodes in and no Mood? Also, who went home? I fell asleep during judging and can't be assed to finish watching.
They did call that bin of fabric mini-Mood, so it's not like they've severed the relationship.
True. But I want to see the store!
Pistachio went home, Amy.
Who is Pistachio?! I don't even know their names yet, clearly.
