I do think that this week's dance was a big improvement performance-wise to what we have seen.
Without a fucking doubt. I really was really to toss Neil over the side of the bus, but he really outdanced Lauren this week.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
BB: I can't believe Jen got HOH. That means at least 2 weeks before she's gone. I wonder if anyone in the house won't hate her before the week is up.

Fucking BB Jen.
I like Sabra better only because I think she's adorable and surprised with her own success -- a typical reaction to the underdog, I think.
I think she's just fantastic -- I was totally watching her even during the big group number.
FRAGILAY!
Heh. I can't believe she knew the principal actor's name!

FRAGILAY!
oh! that's the team from B'more! Are they good?
I haven't seen the show at all but it sounds right up my alley.

They knocked off the defending champions last night!

They beat the returning champions from last season in the second tie-breaker, so I'm hoping that they continue to do well. They seemed like very nice young women, and their moms were in the audience cheering them on in matching fleece tops.

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

I KNOW! That was an exciting round.

I think it's interesting that tuna and filet are considered boring choices, but shrimp isn't. That's got to be more about the execution than the ingredient, right? Maybe the idea is that there is less to do with the tuna and steak?

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."
yes, it was an exciting round. I'm not sure how well Fragilay will do (I'm totally rooting for them - they may be my favorites) though in the semi-finals because that one team earlier this week that swept the "they're real and spectacular" team are really good. I think they could have answered some of the questions that Fragilay missed.

Wocka Wocka, I think. I liked Fragilay a lot, but it seems like their final member (Tani?) was stronger than the other two. I give them credit for strategically using her last, though-- I think you should only use your strongest member in an earlier matchup if the subject is well within the player's wheelhouse. As last year, my fave team is Almost Perfect Strangers. So adorably nerdy, particularly the guy who knew Louis Gossett Jr.
