OK, results show:

Oh, and I did not like the waltz, just because it was not Anya and Danny...but apparently America was fine with it.

Bottom 3:

Rayven and Jamie: not shocked--I wasn't impressed by their soulless hiphop, and I'm actually excited to see them do solos, so that's cool.

Jamie and Will: I'm really surprised that Gev and Courtney made it! Wow. Huh.

Courtney, aka Uma, and Matt: I liked their number, but didnt' love it, and it felt a little weird. I felt like it needed some changes to make it better--but more to the costumes and choreography than the dancers, maybe. I think they just didn't connect to the audience really.

Solos:

Uma: Eh...I always have a hard time with these contemp solos. But she wobbled in a couple places, so I'm not impressed.

Matt: Again, meh.

Rayven: Ballet, huh? Um...this is..no. Also, I hate your costume, honey.

Jamie: Speaking of hating a costume. Benji did this style better. You look awful in this outfit. And this song was used better in Season 2 by Dmitri. I downloaded it then. God, that shirt! And the look on his face, he looks like such a TOOL.

Jessica: Oh, the literal "pray". still, I think I like this dance better than the other two, oddly. Doesn't mean she's a better dancer, but.

Will: (If he gets kicked off, does that mean Debbie Allen can judge the rest of the season?) He needed to dance a little more knowing he only gets a few seconds, but I want to see him dance more...I don't think the judges will let him go, will they????

.....

and the judges say??

Rayven goes home. Hmm. Eh, don't much have an opinion on that. Would've been interesting, but really, if she's 28, did she have a dance future? Probably not.

(WILL, don't applaud yourself! Not on!)

Jamie goes home. I'm OK with that--he was kinda insufferably icky seeming even in just one week. I liked the idea of a west coast swinger, but he didn't impress me in his solo, and if you can't do that AND you seem so icky? Go home.

Sadly, this leaves Matt with Uma...I hope they can get it together...

[edit:

Ok, so i've been watching SYTYCD and blame it all entirely on Meara!

Hah! I am trying to get everyone I know to watch this show!!

Also, I love that I said several of the same things about the solos (ie, Rayven's costume, and the "Oh no he di'nt!" on the music) as kat did, though I hadn't yet read the thread, when I posted)]

Project Runway - comes back July 16th at 9/8 Central.

I'm sad - it's going to conflict with MI-5.

FYI, if anyone would like to hear an interview with Top Chef Stephanie, Nick Digilio at WGN radio will have her on the air tonight after the 9:00 (central time) news here (just click on the "listen now" icon). (He's a bit notorious for getting distracted, but since she'll be in the studio, I don't think he'll get delayed too late.)

MTV is running a marathon of S1 America's Best Dance Crew! Another Sunday lost to dance based reality tv.

Jabbawookeez are a really, really good crew. I don't know how they're going to find anyone better this season.

Did we know about this?

Ted’s new series, ‘Food Detectives,' to premier July 29th on Food Network
9 p.m. ET/PT Tuesdays

Ted joins the Food Network family to explore the delicious connection between science and food in the new series “Food Detectives.” The half-hour, primetime show mixes a healthy dose of humor with a wealth of fascinating factoids. Aided by willing culinary techs and the brains from Popular Science magazine, the series will conduct experiments to find the truth behind the most interesting food myths and questions. Ted and his team will dig deep to answer such questions as: Does it really take seven years for gum to digest in your stomach? Is the five-second rule true? Can an “apple a day” really keep the doctor away? Viewers can also get in on the fun by submitting their most puzzling food conundrums for potential show experiments.

I had heard Ted had a show coming. I'm a bit surprised that it's going to be a Mr. Wizard type show.

I just realized there hasn't been any NFNS talk in here this morning! Did we all Tivo the 1am repeat to watch the Tony's instead, or was it just that boring?

It was kind of boring, but Martha Stewart was kind of great.

NFNS: I think I sprained my eyes rolling them over listening to the Tracey-Flick-a-like and The Bob squee over Martha Stewart coming to the presentation. Not enough @@ in the world.

It was okay. They got rid of one of the people they needed to and I think that last week's two best were this week's two best.
