SYTYCD!

What's with all the people this year basically just showing off hypermobility as their routine? I think we're up to three now?

I figured out what this Gold Inferno guy reminds me of. He looks like he's playing DDR. Step side, step front, jump both feet out, quarter turn, etc.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.

That's what I would watch audition rounds for-- it's kind of a one-trick pony, and way more interesting than anyone else on tonight.

They are fun to watch, even if they don't make it to or past Vegas. That last guy tonight was incredible.

I am watching the audition round, and it's interesting, but painful. And I have to watch on TiVo because I hate the painful ones.

I really enjoyed the guy who did kinda the performance piece with the spoken word about guns and drugs and stuff, but didn't really dance. I loved his performance, though it wasn't really an audition, as they said. I would love to watch him in other stuff...but I don't know how he'd do on this program, really, if they cast him.

Top Chef:

You can't make sticky rice without the sticky rice part!

This! And seriously, there is a huge difference between sticky rice rice and the rice you use to make rice pudding rice, which is what Dale said at the WF.

And that's right about rinsing the shellfish. That one's always a killer, and Richard definitely would have been hurting for that.

SYTYCD: Not watching...at a friend's house now, and going to be teeveefree all summer. Grump.
