I watched the first of the new Great British Baking Show ... wow ... I think they've gone up to the next level with this series. But they don't know angel cake? even I, who have never baked one, know a lot of the basics.
Sooner or later, you're gonna want it. And the second — the second — that happens, you know I'll be there. I'll slip in, have myself a real good day.

I'm watching SYTYCD Top 18 (shut up, I'm working on it) and the Jazz number with Edson, Yorelis and JJ is secretly disco. Would have been better if the dancers (and costumers) had realized and embraced that.

Loving the family flea commentary!

Also loved the Team Stage group number. Lots of dancers making beautiful shapes with unexpected lifts and such will always get me.

Oh, judges. You have chosen poorly.

I was 100% satisfied with this top 4 from this years crop of dancers, although it did hurt to Lose Jim. But he really wasn't as versatile as the two girls who made it from Team Stage. I am rooting for JaJa because she just has that magic quality and then Gaby because she is effortlessly gorgeous in everything and then Virgil because I smile ever time I see him and then Hailee because she's great but I can always see her working at it. I wouldn't be sad if any of them came out on top, though, probably because I'm not really deeply invested in any of them. This format was not the train wreck I'd feared, but the whole Stage vs. Street thing just kept me at arms length from the dancers this year. I don't know. It just didn't work for me.

I don't understand why they did the stage/street thing ... wasn't just having dancers from a range of genres enough? or did they want to have kind a gang war dance-off situation? or just find a reason to bring back Twitch?

SYTYCD Top 16
I liked the opening number a lot (love the costumes. Did not realize until I read meara's comment that they were 90s inspired, I'm not sure what that says about my fashion sense)

How adorable is Jaja? "...we will have little baby crumpers in the future not right now..."

I was pretty impressed with JJ's tango. I didn't love the choreography, but she did very well with it considering she's not even close to ballroom.
