I clapped when they announced Stephanie.
So did I. And gave a "Whoooooo!" I would have scared the cat if I had one.
...because God knows you need some satisfaction in life besides shagging Captain Cardboard! And I never really liked you anyway. And you have stupid hair!

They're doing a reunion show next week. . . which is probably when they announce the fan favorite.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Huh -- I don't know why I haven't noticed any ads for it.

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb
This is my first season watching SYTYCD nad I know virtually nothing about dance so the techniques are lost on me, but still fun. Mary kills me with her crazy Osmand teeth and abrupt ending to comments. Nigel spends too much time talking about how beautiful the girls are, seriously.
I liked the second hip hop best. Liked the contemporary, but think her costume kept us from seeing what see was doing. Kinda hated that the tango dancers were so smiley through their routine. Didn't like disco. The rest were good.
How does it work once people are knocked off, so the two new solo people get matched up as a pair or do all the pairs get mixed up?

From Ted's blog:
But here’s a reality-show check. At the beginning of the finale, Padma told the chefs they were about to cook “the most important meal of your life.” Well, yeah, Top Chef producers would naturally take that position, at least publicly. And at the time, I’m sure it seemed that important to the chefs, too. But of course, it wasn’t then, and it isn’t now. There will be many, many more-important meals in Stephanie Izard’s life, and in Richard Blais’s, too. Take, for example, the first one he serves his new daughter, Riley Maddox Blais, born two weeks ago in Atlanta. Seven pounds, nine ounces.
He’ll probably do sous-vide pureed peas, and apple-juice “caviar.”
Awwww.

I know! So cute.
And what he said earlier - that the biggest surprise was how poorly Richard did, makes me think that had Richard been on form - Stephanie wouldn't have won.

yes! he's been creeping me out more and more the past couple of seasons.

the people who end up partnerless partner each other. later on in the show they'll all change partners.

From the Zap2it recap of the TC finale:
The culinary bigwigs gather 'round and watch Richard work. Lisa is unimpressed: "I cook simple food and I keep minimal ingredients instead of overthinking things," she sniffs. Cut to chef Ripert saying "The day you stop learning anymore is the day you're such an egomaniac you're blind." Thanks, editors!
Hee.

Well, maybe, but that's the game -- being able to perform that night.

And his teeth bug me. They have to be dentures. I'm afraid they're going to pop right out of his mouth one day, shoot through my TV screen and bite me on the face. Scary teeth, dude, quit smiling so wide!
