I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

Dug the seesaw routine a lot, although the camera work was not how I would have liked it to be, dammit. Do not like the sleeves (like fake tattoo sleeves?) on some of them.

Team stage had a couple of cool lifts and when they all came together in a mass was nifty, but I'm not sure I really got what that was about.

I do not remember Darian and Lily from earlier, so I guess I am okay with them leaving. Surprised it was two girls in the bottom for Team Street.

FF-ing through all the non-dance parts of the anniversary show made it very enjoyable indeed.

I'm watching on east coast time tonight but missed the first 30 min (because silly central time starts at 7pm). So I missed Megz. Boo.

SYTYCD: MELANIE!

Yes, yes I can. Though probably not well enough to be on TV.

Sorry, couldn't resist. My RL name doesn't come up that often. Ignore me, nothing to see here.

"Cry havoc and let slip the boobs of war!" -- Miracleman

I was disappointed in Virgil and Jaja's dance. They are both SO good, and the choreo was meh. They gave us all of this BS about Virgil pulling Jaja into this crazy world, but you didn't see that story. They barely interacted. We didn't see the mischievous Virgil except in his face, but not in his dance. Well danced, but they were wasted with that blah choreo.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.

Dear PR contestants (or really, not so dear), if one of the judges tells you she sees a bitch fest going on, it might just be time to examine your behavior.

I haven't seen PR yet, I hope that all goes the way I hope it might.

Catching a minute or two of Master Chef here and there randomly is kind of making me want to watch the whole series.

Except for the team challenges, I really love MasterChef.
