OK, question for y'all--I want to plan some SYTYCD viewing parties. First I'm going to just have people over for a "you know you want to get into this show" party--show some good stuff from the past few seasons (I'm a bit limited on that--you tube things, and then I've only got the last couple eps of last season on my TiVO--I WISH I still had Season 2 on TiVO!) and I'll show a bit of the auditions.
But for planning regular viewing parties--what days of the week is it airing this year? Show/results show? I honestly don't even remember how this works...
right now they're playing it wednesdays and thursdays. i don't know if they'll keep it that way when we finally get to the results portion of the process.
Don't they understand my need to plan my social life around their show??? I thought that was what they WANTED from me!!
If that's so, now to decide if it would be better to have people over on Wednesday to watch the show, or have them over Thursday, and put off watching the show and wait until we can watch it with the results. That means we couldn't vote. OTOH, I never voted until the finals last year.
I started groaning with the Quickfire winners/losers, but on second thought, butchering is kind of a bullshit challenge -- it's like testing my CEO on her filing skills or something -- that's a task you hire an expert for, while you do the higher-level stuff.
The other thing that's exciting is that I think Stephanie has a real shot, and it's definitely time for a woman to win, but it's not going to be some bullshit Tyra move.
3 to 1 chance it will be a woman!
I didn't realize that Spike had been in the bottom more than Lisa.
Ding! Dong! AssHatAss is gone! As soon as he went with frozen scallops, I figured he was toast, and good riddance.
But Kitty-butt-face lives to fight another round. Oh well. If she pulled off peanut butter mashed potatoes, she's obviously got some sort of skill.
I also think Richard's wheels are coming off a little for some reason - I think Stephanie has a really good shot.
Are there three more rounds, or just one round of the final four (having not seen prior seasons)?
Haven't seen tonight's episode yet, but I'm starting to think that, if Antonia keeps focussing on making food that tastes good, she might actually have a shot.
