Tonight brings us more dancing! NO Mark! (bastards). Stories of inspiration. And yet another overly dramatic opening monologue from Cat! This! Is So You Think You Can Dance (dance…..dance)!
Hey. Did you know we’re live and there are only three girls left? I wish Cat would give us some helpful information instead of regurgitating what we already know?
Like how DO you fashion a dress out of leftover gift wrap?
Cat seems to have learned a new word just for tonight. Erudite. But I’m wondering if she really knows what it means since she uses it to describe each of the three judges. I think better words might have been sycophant, raging bitch, and pervert extraordinaire. Ah well, potatoes, potahtoes.
This week we’re treated yet again to witnessing the completely random and not at all producer influenced all star pick. The all stars themselves are not present for it this week. Instead, we’ll be treated to a little snippet of their dancing with whatever genre they’ve got in subtitles. I love the consistency on this show, don’t you?
Anyway, Lauren picks Neil, and they’ve got Broadway. My stomach immediately rolls over in anticipation of yet another Fosse-esque crapfest from Sir BitchyPants. Melinda picks Pasha and Salsa. I imagine Cristina sitting at home watching this and cursing out Mia and Adam.
Billy’s up next and he picks Kathryn and contemporary. Wow. Jackpot for Billy. Ashley picks Ade and contemporary, and for the first time ever in seven seasons I actually believe that the pick might be random. Don’t worry, it passes. But…..ANOTHER contemporary for Ashley? My prediction: next week she dances a waltz.
Robert and his goofy face pick Courtney and Jazz. Again. Jose picks Anya and a Samba, and his face just says it all.
Help!
Kent gets Allison and jazz. I predict more comments about getting eaten alive. Poor Adechike. Poor, poor Adechike. He has to dance with the devil.
Look! Even the toxic donuts are afraid of her.
They’ll be dancing hip hop. I don’t even know what to say. Alex is the last to pick, and he gets Twitch. He is confused. So am I considering there is another female all star that is a hip hop specialist. Obviously they will be doing hip hop. Where is Mark you ask? Off for the night. Booooooooo. Well, at least we have Pasha for shirtless consolation.
We’re starting off the dancing tonight with Adechike. Who has inspired him? Desmond Richardson.
Yowza. I’m feeling a little inspired myself.
Adechike and Lauren will be choreographed by Dave Scott who tells us that we will be having fun. Oh sure, it’s all fun and games until the devil steals your soul. Adechike tells us he already has a crush on her. Poor Adechike. So young, and already damned for all eternity.
I’m guessing they’re supposed to be straight-laced office workers who like to get funky after five. As much as I’d love to say I hate it because She-Who-Must-Not-Be-Named is in it, I have to admit, it was a fun number. Adechike looked like he was having a great time dancing it, and of course the devil was whoring it up for the camera as usual.
It wasn’t a mind blowing routine, but it was obvious they were having a good time dancing it, and that made it fun to watch. It was nice to see Adechike having a good time.
Nigel thinks Dave Scott has brought something out in Adechike that hasn’t been there so far in the competition: his personality, swagger and confidence. This is a different Adechike than he’s seen so far in the competition.
Mia says all of a sudden it’s shifted for him. She doesn’t know if it’s Dave or the devil or what, but she’s happy to see that there is some sunshine in there. Yay. Just Yay. Adam? Any thoughts?
And then he stands up to clap. Oh for fucks sake, really Adam? Really? Shut. It.
Cat talks to Adechike about what has made the difference this week. Dave and the devil. What a revelation! And then the devil says he’s had it in him this whole time and just not been able to show it. Gah! Why is she talking? Now I have to wash my ears out with holy water.
Up next is Ashley. She is inspired by her dance teacher. Without her she wouldn’t be the dancer she is today. Isn’t that part of being the dance TEACHER?
Ashley and Ade will be working with a new choreographer, Dee Caspary. He’s danced with Paula Abdul and Tiffany and was on the TV show Kids Incorporated. Hah! I loved that show!!!
The story of this routine is that Ashley is broken and unable to stand or move on her own. Ade is her backbone. Ashley says they really need to come together and dance as one.
Whoa. I really loved this routine. Ashley is BY FAR the best girl left in the competition (not that there’s a lot to choose from at this point), and I’ve always really liked Ade. The lifts were gorgeous (or gorgois), and I thought Ashley and Ade had a great connection. She has some beautiful lines. Now all we need is for her to get something other than contemporary (or contemporary pretending to be jazz). Hopefully next week she’ll get a hip hop or cha cha and knock it out of the park.
Nigel first bitches that she got contemporary again. That’s so valid because we all know how the contestants control the random picks. He then qualifies his complaint, saying she was a completely different dancer than he’s seen over the last few weeks. She’s developed so much.
What’s your bra size now?
He thinks she had a beautifully smooth fluidity in her dancing; the steps didn’t get in the way. She just danced. He compares her dancing to a glass of scotch or honey, and she says it felt nice to just let go.
Let’s move on to Mia’s nonsensical notes, shall we? First, what does she think about Dee? “Ewww.” But not the way you or I think when we say ewww. When Mia says ewww she means amazing. But she’s not done. She follows it up with a “Wow. Okay. Wow. Okay.” I don’t know about you, but she’s lost me with all this technical terminology.
So if I call you amazing, does it really mean Ewww? You’re Amazing. With a capital E.
Mia loves the concept of being able to let go and someone being there to catch you. She starts to get choked up a little here, and I think it’s because of everything she just went through with her mom. The piece hit home for her on an emotional level.
She says Ashley was like a purple wind blowing through the theater. It was a hurricane and a summer breeze and it was everything. Mia says she’s a cut above the other female dancers (all two of them) and still her favorite.
Adam tells her she is breathtaking. He also thinks it was one of the best female contemporary performances he’s seen on this show in any season. And I totally believe him because he never says that to anyone. Like Ever. Except for at least once a week.
The judges have blown so much smoke up our collective asses over the past six seasons about this or the other performance being The Best Evah, that it has no meaning anymore when they say it. It’s lost any impact it would have by their overuse.
Now it’s time for the first solo of the evening. It’s Billy!
The judges aren’t commenting after the solos (YAY), so Cat goes right into the numbers. I think Billy did a good job doing what he does best. The kid has great musicality and insane lines, and showed them off well. Now he just needs to dance his ass off in his partnered routine.
Next up is Robert who tells us his inspiration is his mom. He then goes on to tell us about how his mom has survived divorce, miscarriages, and two babies dying in her arms. Yeah. I can’t make fun of that. Oh my god! He’s not even done there! He also tells us she’s fought breast cancer.
Enough already!
He and Courtney will be dancing jazz with Sonya who tells us her goal is for the world to see how dynamically beautiful Robert is. She want them to know how crazy they were for putting him in the bottom. Yeah, I don’t think he got there because of his dancing, Sonya.
Eh. The dancing was good, but I still don’t like him. He’s got this really annoying habit of pulling faces when he dances, almost like gaping fish faces, if you know what I mean. At one point I though he was talking to Courtney, but then realized he was doing the fish face thing again. I have to be honest here, I think I’ve already reached the point of no return with him. No matter how well he dances, I can’t see myself liking him; he’s this season’s Kayla for me.
The good news is that I think someone told him to tone down his antics. The bad news is the damage has already been done.
Nigel thinks sometimes Sonya’s choreography doesn’t suit certain dancers, but it suits Robert, just like it suited Mark. Did he just compare Robert to Mark? I think that may be blasphemy.
Robert is not even close to Mark, in my mind. I think in reality his technique is better than Mark’s, but that was never what made Mark so awesome to watch. Mark has a quality to his performance, and a commitment to that performance that Robert doesn’t even come close to. It’s what made people love Mark even though he was by no means the strongest dancer of his season.
Anyway, Nigel loved the routine. Mia would like him to take ballet. She thinks it will refine him and ground him and give his movement weight. Wow, a coherent (and helpful) comment from Mia! But wait! There’s more! “The choking was everything.”
Will you choke me later?
Adam thinks he’s a great dancer. He thinks Robert really nailed the punctuation in the stops. He says Robert needs to use his plie more, and when he jumps, he needs to not jump down. Robert immediately gets what he’s saying, as do I.
It’s something you learn in dance about jumps and leaps, even moreso when you learn partnering. It should be as if you’re being pulled upward by an invisible string, which is what makes those jumps look effortless. If you watch someone like Danny you can see it; his leaps are powerful, and he looks almost weightless, whereas you feel the inevitable downward motion of Robert’s leaps. I hope that made sense.
Time for Jose’s solo.
He’s not the most impressive b-boy we’ve seen on this show, but he still continues to be adorable. I don’t know how or why, but this kid has charmed me. That said, he’s definitely the weakest dancer in the competition and I think he’ll be going home the minute he hits the bottom three.
Melinda is up next, and she has been inspired by her mentor, Harold Cromer, who we met when she found out she made it on to the show. He seems like a pretty cool old dude, and it does make me wonder what he sees in her that we’re not seeing. She can’t be all bad, right?
Anyway, Melinda will be dancing a salsa with Pasha choreographed by Fabian Sanchez. Melinda tells us she’s Columbian, so she’s done the salsa before and is comfortable with it.
Oh, where to begin? Okay, let’s start first with the dress getting caught in her shoe. Remember last year when the same thing happened to Ellenore and she danced with her dress stuck in the shoe until it came unstuck on its own? This is less impressive. Although to be fair to Melinda, I don’t think that she could have danced with her shoe stuck in her dress, so she had to get it out of there.
This salsa was not spicy at all. I think the big issue with Melinda is that she can’t just let go and trust her partner. Maybe it’s because as a tapper she only has to rely on herself. In this (and every other dance), I can see her holding back, not giving over control to her partner whether it be in simply letting him lead, or in trusting him for their partnering moments. She stiff and uptight, and I’m surprised that she hasn’t gotten hurt at all.
Nigel thinks she looks fabulous, but he doesn’t feel the fluidity of her movement. It feels like she’s doing a step into a step into a step. He questions her musicality, not knowing whether or not it was what she was given in this piece, or a problem with her own musicality; he doesn’t know if she feels the music.
Mia says she danced as hard as she could, but says there were moments that felt like she had bricks on her legs and was trying to stay afloat. And then…..Mia says she feels like they made a mistake keeping Melinda last week. Really, Mia? Was that necessary? I mean, I don’t even like the girl and I thought that was completely out of line.
And then…..Adam agrees! What a jackass. And a bitch. For chrissakes, own your fucking decision you assholes! Ugh, I can’t even listen to anything else he has to say because I think what they both did here was out of line and SOOOOO unnecessary. And I wanted her gone last week!
Let’s move on before I go off on a tirade about professionalism, shall we? It’s time for Kent’s solo.
This solo is interesting for me. I think the choreography of it isn’t that great, but man, when this kid leaps? WOW. This is exactly what I was talking about before about making it seem effortless. Love the leaps. Now he just needs to put them together better with the rest of his solo.
Alex is up next with his solo.
AWESOME! I mean, did you have any doubts?
It’s Lauren’s turn for her partnered dance, but first….who inspires her? She tells us it’s her student council adviser, but I think the woman also might coach Lauren’s cheer squad because she’s wearing a cheerleading sweatshirt. My theory is that Lauren wanted to acknowledge her without reminding us that she’s a cheerleader. I know, I have nothing better to do with my time than come up with these theories.
Lauren and Neil’s Broadway number will be choreographed by Joey Dowling. Yay. I guess. I mean, I’m happy it’s not Sir BitchyPants, but I’m not a fan of Joey’s either. I absolutely hated that hack routine she choreographed for Evan and Randi. Where the hell is Spencer Liff?
The story of the routine is that Neil is a paperboy reading the paper and daydreaming about an actress he sees in the paper. Did I mention he’s reading the newspaper? Joey tells us that because this is a daydream, Lauren and Neil can be overdramatic. As opposed to their usual low key performances.
Whoa, halfway through that number we got a wardrobe malfunction! I have to hand it to both Lauren and Neil that they managed to keep her boob from falling out and didn’t miss a step in the performance. Very nicely done. I also have to say that Joey put together a good Broadway number here. I actually enjoyed it! Joey, I didn’t know you had it in you!
Nigel is of course all about Lauren’s boob and the lack of it popping out. We all know his boner has popped up to say hello, and of course both of them thoroughly enjoyed the routine. He thinks it worked out very well in the end.
Portrait of a perv
Mia thought it was a great piece and danced really well, but she wanted a little more slinkiness. She thinks that as an athletic female dancer Lauren needs to work harder to have a little bit more of a feminine quality. And then she says she wanted a little bit more about fifteen more times. I think what she’s trying to say is that she wanted more.
Adam wants her to think of herself as dancing through water. He then goes on to say that she reminded him of a young Cyd Charisse. Are you fucking kidding me, Adam?!?!?!?! Seriously? I think he may have smoked some crack before this show. I don’t even know what to say about that. I think he needs to get his ass over to You Tube and watch some videos of her dancing.
Let’s leave Adam with his crack induced delusions and move on to Ashley’s solo.
This solo is just meh for me. I think Ashley is a really good dancer, but the solo doesn’t really show that off enough. I find myself wishing that this wasn’t the last impression she was leaving us with tonight.
Billy’s turn. He tells us his inspiration was Legacy, except he didn’t know it was actually Legacy until they met last season. He saw him performing when he was twelve and then started taking hip hop. How cool is that?
He’s dancing with Kathryn tonight, and being choreographed by Stacey Tookey. She tells us the story for this routine is that Billy has broken Kathryn’s heart, and now, just as she’s starting to get over him, he wants her back.
I think they did a great job here. Billy looks great, as usual, and Kathryn is just phenomenal. Yet again, she steals a routine. In fairness to Billy, I think Stacey gave Kathryn more of an emotional journey in this piece, and she just ran with it. He did a good job, don’t get me wrong, but my eyes kept going to Kathryn.
Oh, and for those of you keeping tabs…..Legacy is there again in the audience. I’m still saying it’s because he lurves Kathryn. Other explanations? Don’t care to hear ‘em.
Nigel says that Billy is a brilliant dancer and a brilliant soloist, but he thinks he needs to learn how to partner. He didn’t quite believe the partnership. He says that Billy needs to figure out the acting and performance side with someone else there.
Mia thinks that sometimes he gets so caught up in the technique that we lose him, Baby B. That’s who he is to her in this competition. I’m sure he loves her calling him a baby. Don’t worry though, baby or not, she respects him as an artist. Because using the word baby to describe someone is the ultimate way to show respect for them. Amazing.
Adam thinks he will see it all in playback. He thinks Billy is one of the most exciting thing to happen to dance in a really long time, but he needs to find that one element, and none of them can tell him how to do it.
Billy spends the critique looking like he’s about to cry. It’s not that he’s being a brat about the criticism, but I think he’s taking it (and last week’s) really hard. Somehow I think he’s more used to people gushing over him. I’m hoping he can shake it off and find the spark that will blow us all away because he’s certainly capable of it.
Robert’s solo is next.
It’s alright I guess. I’ve said it before, he’s just not doing it for me. He’s a good dancer, but I don’t enjoy watching him. I am glad to see that someone appears to have spoken to him about all the mugging for the camera because he has toned it down a lot.
From Robert we go over to Jose who tells us he has been inspired by Bruce Lee. That seems really appropriate for a breaker, doesn’t it? But it’s more than his moves that inspire Jose, it’s his philosophy on life.
He’ll be dancing a samba with Anya, choreographed by Dmitry. Oh Lord. I think this is going to be painful.
That actually wasn’t as bad as I thought it would be. That having been said, it was still pretty bad from a technical point of view. I think Dmitry putting the table in there helped Jose a lot; it gave added support to some of the lifts, and cut down on the time he had to turn with Anya in his arms.
One thing I do think he did better than the other guys that danced with Anya so far was in his performance. I didn’t think he looked like a little boy dancing with a woman, where I did feel like that a little bit with the other guys. It’s another one of those performances where he bones it and the audience doesn’t even give a shit because they love him.
Nigel says that Dmitry not only brought out the man in Jose, but he’s now a member of the “I’ve lost the buttons on my shirt” club. Please. Aren’t all the guys this season a member of that club?
Nigel says to Jose that he’s not the best dancer on this show, but he has magic in his eyes and his smile. His dancing makes Nigel smile. Mia and Adam are both in the same boat; they know that he’s not great from a technical standpoint, and for the second week in a row none of them care. Normally I’d be screaming about this, but somehow, I’m not. I think Jose is spiking the nation’s water with something.
Time for Melinda’s solo.
I think I’ve said it all already with her; I don’t enjoy her solos, I don’t enjoy her dancing, I don’t enjoy her personality. I cannot imagine she won’t be in the bottom three.
Kent’s up next and his inspiration is his brother who is a youth pastor. I’m guessing he’s the one who put a good word in with Baby Jesus last week.
Kent will be dancing a Mandy Moore jazz routine with Allison. Mandy tells us this piece is all about strong dynamics, beautiful body lines, and instant chemistry. Just add water!
Oh Hugh, I didn’t mean that literally! Wait….never mind……continue.
Allison tells us Kent’s biggest challenge is being a man, not just acting like one. Wow, harsh words from Allison there. And this is coming from someone who spent most of her season partnered with Ivan! Kent’s hoping to grow some chest hair before the performance show.
I like Kent, but he got owned in that performance. He does have a lack of maturity in his dancing, and when performing with someone like Allison, that doesn’t help him at all. He did a good job, but to say he was overshadowed by his partner would be an understatement.
Nigel thinks Kent has a great personality, but he thinks he needs to be careful about keeping a sense of honesty in his work. Nigel thinks he likes to play to the crowd, which isn’t necessarily a terrible thing, EXCEPT for when it’s taking away from your connection to your partner. He says Kent needs to be careful because the viewers at home can be a bit turned off by that.
Mia agrees. She says he gets caught up in the television personality of it all rather than in the artistry. She doesn’t want to see the deer in the headlights look every week. She wants to see him. It felt a little like a competition dancer to her; not the choreography, his interpretation of it.
Adam thinks he’s one of the most hireable dancers they’ve ever had on the show, but tells him he needs to lose the hungry jazz face. I agree with that, but at the same time I’m annoyed because no one mentioned to Robert that he needed to lose his gaping fish face. Adam says he’s better than that, and he’ll see it in playback which is apparently Adam’s new catchphrase.
Adechike’s solo is next.
I’ve finally figured out what’s been bugging me about Adechike’s dancing; he leads with his head and neck. Throughout most of his routine his head and neck are pushed forward, and that’s disturbing the lines of his dancing for me. I actually enjoyed this solo when I wasn’t wanting to push his head back in line with his spine.
From Adechike we go to Lauren’s solo, which is the last of the night.
This is actually a nicely choreographed solo, and she dances it well. She’s still not my favorite, but she did a good job here.
Alright, it’s time for the last dance of the night. It’s Alex! But first, who inspires him? He tells us it’s Edward Villella. Hmmmm……if I was at all cynical I’d say he was saying that because it seems like there may be some hard feelings over him leaving Miami City Ballet. But that would only be if I was cynical, which you all know I’m certainly not.
Alex and Twitch will be dancing a Tabitha and Napoleon hip hop number. Tabitha says they were so excited to hear they had two guys……until they found out one of them was Alex.
Ballet dancer? I’ve got more swagger than him, YO!
There is much talk about how out of his element Alex is in this genre, and the glimpses we see have me worried for him. Tabitha wants the routine to be so Wong it’s right. Oh, Tabitha. I was saving that joke for later. Dang.
HOLY. FUCKING. SHIT. I loved this routine. I honestly did not think Alex had this in him, and I was so wrong. I loved every minute of this dance, and it makes me hope that Tabitha and Napoleon get more chances to choreograph routines for two guys (or two girls for that matter) so we can get away from their love story numbers and get more like this.
I loved how they incorporated some of the ballet moves, and the ending with Twitch mimicking Alex’s ballet movement was on the money. Alex may not have ht everything as hard as Twitch did, but he sure hung in there with him. All I can say is WOW.
The judges are all on their feet, and Alex looks overjoyed. Cat says she’s never heard a crowd reaction like this one. Nigel says let’s try to treat this like an ordinary routine even though it isn’t. He says this is the best routine Tabitha and Napoleon have ever done for the show, and thanks Twitch for validating their choice to add all stars to the show. For those that still don’t like it?
Idiot. I will say, this is the only thing so far that has made me like the all star format. I’ve always enjoyed the same sex partnerships in the finales because it adds yet another dynamic to the dancing. Do you need all stars for that? No. They could incorporate same sex routines into the seasons much earlier than the finales. But Nigel will justify his decisions whatever way he can. For once, I will skip my bitch session about the all star format.
Nigel can’t imagine that this routine won’t be up for an Emmy; I think he may be reaching a little bit there. Mia wants to know who the hell Alex is. She says he’s just defied everything about the ballet world. Don’t ask how, because she won’t tell you.
Adam says it’s Alex’s world and he’s just visiting. As he bows down to Alex. He thinks it was the best hip hop ever on this show. I think he thinks it was so great because it was so unexpected. And then…….Adm cries. Oh lord. Really?
Now, I think you all know how much I love Alex, right? But this is even a bit much for me. Yes, the routine was awesome. Yes, it was even more so because of how unexpected it was. But really? I mean, at this point maybe they should just unzip him and Nigel can suck his cock while Mia and Adam cup his balls and stick a finger up a ass, because I think that may be all that’s missing right now.
I’d love to!
Alex then starts talking, and someone please tell him to stop doing that because people (me) get annoyed by the contestant’s chatter. Just stand there and listen, you can never go wrong.
And so thus ends this week’s show. What did you think, Gasmi? Did your love of Alex’s dancing outweigh the dicksucking going on? Do you continue to be annoyed by Robert, even when he’s not mugging? What did you think about Mia and Adam backpedaling about their decision to keep Melinda?
I apologize for the delay in the recap this week; I had a little too much fun celebrating the fourth! I’m jumping right into the results recap, and will have it up for you as soon as possible. Until then…..

All the verbal ejaculation that the judges spray over Alex week after week still doesn’t bother me for some reason. He’s worth it. It also probably helps that I only listen to about the first 5 seconds of critique now before I hit FF.
I have to tell you that I watched that hip-hop routine about 6 times and it’s still on my DVR, so I will probably watch it 6 more. I think it’s worthy of actually being called one of the best ever, as opposed to all the other “best ever”s that Adam keeps trying to sell me.
I feel a little sorry for Robert now, because he’s obviously taken the note that his personality sucks, but it’s just too late. Can’t stand him even though he’s a beautiful dancer. Jose, on the other hand, can barely keep up with the “all stars,” but I really don’t care. His zen/b-boy vibe is really working for me. So far, I hate to admit, I’m loving the all-stars format. I hope they don’t do it again, but the dancing has definitely been elevated to a higher level and I can appreciate that.
Just loved the Alex and Twitch piece – just saw it again after seeing it again and again… and was grinning from ear to ear. The music was great too. I was starting to tire from the “Nappy Tab” style, but this one was brilliant. Also, I loved how they didn’t have to spoon feed the story line to us like we were babies. BRAVO! Go Alex! Too funny about the dick sucking stuff!
Jose is cute and all that – but it is still a “dancing” show and you do need to dance very well at this stage. Also, I see that Billy is a good dancer but I don’t like him as a complete package (looks,choics of wardrobe, charisma etc.)
I think what made Alex and Twitch’s dance so good was their performance, the choreography itself wasn’t that genius.
And I agree about Melinda, I don’t like her much but Mia and Adam were just rude and unprofessional.
And Nigel’s still a jerk, a really annoying one.
I think Mia was lucid with Robert because she knows he’s likely going home this week and wanted to give him solid words of wisdom that can help him. He’s still young and certainly can improve, but this week I really did see his weaknesses. So go forth and grow up, Robert. You’ll be awesome when you do!!
And I will happily be the cynic on the hill because as soon as Alex spewed that BS about being inspired by Villella, after he’s basically portrayed himself every week as the Oliver Twist of MCB who just wanted to dance more, sir, I thought what a jerk. Then he danced and it was fantastic and I thought “What an even bigger jerk because he doesn’t have to shine us on.” Still, he’s a gorgeous dancer so when he wins I won’t be disappointed. Just wish he’d stop talking out of his ass.
But I’m just coming around on Billy and I hope he can right his ship. I hate that Jose basically gets pat on the head for just standing on stage and smiling and managing not to fall during the routine and told he’s sunshine and rainbows and kittens and so what if he can’t dance a damn, he’s cute and smurfy and love, but Billy gets reamed for “not connecting.”
And there’s a video out there of Ashley dancing samba in some Brazilian music video. Hip action is no problem for her, so I hope she does get Latin ballroom this week. She’s probably the only girl, even of the ones who left, who won’t be completely outclassed by Pasha.
Great recap! Your pics of Lauren ALMOST make it bearable to watch her.
Alex was so amazing tonight, but I wish he’d just shut up. I don’t know why, but he always sounds really smarmy to me.
Billy is by far my favourite soloist this season. And I don’t think he was given enough credit for his partner routine. I really felt the connection personally.
I really hope Ashley can do other styles, because I’m really loving her right now.
I must be the only one, but I am not falling under Jose’s spell. Performance can only make up for so much. But his samba was better than his bollywood. But he really needs to go soon, but I have a feeling he’ll stay around for a bit, seeing as he’s the only non contemp/jazz/ballet etc dancer left.
Oh, and I did some research into Remotekontrol on America’s Got Talent, and I THINK they auditioned last year, but obviously didn’t make it, as they were never shown on TV. But they have got a youtube channel which is worth taking a look at.
i agree with rubberduck, i am loving ashley and i think he got robbed of good critique on his fab partner routine… its hard when they have these boys dancing with kathryn [who's phenomenal] and the dance is choreographed to highlight kathryn! just like adechike’s dance with her, i still maintain he was great at that but the focus was strongly on kathryn
anyway, still love alex, billy, ashley and kent
As usual, hilarious recap, PM, especially re: the judges and Alex. What a picture I had in my mind after you said that!! Now I have to sterilize my brain!
I was disappointed that Melinda did not go last week. I have never connected with that woman–she is all glitz with no substance beneath. I don’t know why she was selected when there were other girls so much better. If the reason was there needed to be tap dancer, that’s a pretty lousy reason, because then we are subjected to somebody who is dancewise not in the same league as the others. She was selected because of her looks (she reminds me of a young Susan Lucci) and because she’s been on a soap opera, so the producers wanted that demographic. Problem is, I really prefer unknowns who haven’t had much TV work (or none at all) to be on the show rather than somebody whose had face time already. Her Latin dancing is beyond awful and it appears she has trouble with other genres. How she made it through Vegas week and got selected is beyond me.
Still, that was a CRAPPY thing for Mia and Adam to say to her, and I’m sure Christina feels lousy about it as well. She would have KILLED that salsa, and I’m pissed because I was denied seeing her perform in her genre while having to watch the horrendous job Melinda did. (I’m a ballroom & Latin competitive dancer BTW). Had she not partnered with Pasha, she would have looked dreadful, but Pasha made her look better than she was.
I also found myself smiling while watching Jose. Technically he sucked, but he was having so much fun, put so much gusto into the routine, and just had a ball with it. He didn’t hold back at all, so it was very entertaining. I can see why people like him and root for him. He has a lot of charisma out there. And Alex…whoa, he blew me away. Unbelievable routine! What a treat to watch that. Alex has to be careful not to be so sure that he will win this competition–sometimes I get that feeling from him. It doesn’t help that the judges are drooling like Pavlov’s dogs over him. However, there’s a good chance he’ll be in the final.
I have been slightly let down with Billy Bell’s performances. But in defense of Billy, I’ve been in his situation where teachers have gushed over my dancing. Then I go to competitions and don’t make the finals. I wonder if I’m really as good as my teacher says or if she is blowing smoke up my ass. Turns out she was doing the latter, so I left her. Billy is used to being applauded, singled out and praised to the hilt, so it is hard to find yourself in a situation where suddenly everything you do is not oohed and aahed over by your teachers and choreographers. It’s a hard pill to swallow if you’ve always been top dog in your dance company.
When I learned Kent was paired with Allison, I was hoping for great things. I thought he did a good job, but the performance left me flat. Allison outdanced him, and it was obvious he was not relating to her at all, but focusing on the audience instead. Hopefully he’ll learn from this and do better next week. I love Kent’s “aw shucks” country personality. He’s cute, adorable, young, fresh and spontaneous, which is part of his charm. He is definitely popular with the younger set and will go far in the competition. Since this is a personality contest, he might make it to the finals, but who knows?
Robert? He annoys the heck out of me. I find his personality irritating. He’s a proficient dancer, but the fact that he acts like an immature dweeb and looks so old for his age probably will work against him. I see him as possibly landing on the bottom 3 once again next week.
By the way, is it my imagination or is Mia going overboard with the BOTOX???? It looks like she had a brow lift as well. Her forehead is too smooth and rigid and her eyebrows look higher than they used to be! I’m glad she got rid of the bleached-blond buzz cut–that was FUUGGGGLLLLYYYYY! But she needs to cool it on the Botox.
I think with Billy is that he’s an amazing soloist, but not a great partner. It’s almost like he feels like he has to dance down to his partner, and he needs to stop that. Plus he doesn’t ever seem to truly absorb whatever piece he’s in. I’m terrified to see the kid in ballroom.
I always fastfoward through judges comments so I didn’t hear Mia’s and Adam’s horrible statements, but is anyone suprised. Mia’s always been a bitch. Remember that whole thing with Jessica (will’s partner) in season 4? She just ragged and ragged on that girl and even after she had to drop out due to a cracked rib, continued to be a bitch. She’s been faking the nice thing ever since, and I can’t stand her. Her choerography sucks for me as well.
Allison’s description of Kent was spot on. He can only pull the ‘oh shucks’ thing for so long, and needs to man up in the competition. Esp if he wants to work as a dancer in the long term-he has to dance like a man.
Lauren still pisses me off. Robert is her male equal in my opinion. They need to dance together so I can direct all my anger in one place.
I hope the judges don’t oversell alex. That’s what happened to allison in season 2 with lots and lots of praise, and it ended up biting her in the ass (people didn’t vote for her one week cause they thought she’d be fine). He’s amazing and I’ve been impressed with his ability in all of the styles, and he should win.
I just laughed so loud and hard at one part of your recap that my husband jumped.
@lifesabeach: I always though Allison got voted out in Season 2 because she had the personality of an overeager puppy. She never stopped smiling and looking like she was super-excited and happy every single minute (except when she managed to turn it off for a couple of dances and then she picked up the goofy grin as soon as the dance was over). It got old after a few weeks. She seems a lot more mature now.
In order to enjoy this show now, I have to fast-forward through the rehearsal packages (because I don’t like having a dance explained to me before I see it and I don’t want to be focusing on whatever move they had the most trouble with this week) and then I fast-forward through the judging so I don’t have to throw things at my TV. I can tell the general tone of the critiques by looking at the dancer’s face.
I like how easily Alex cries. I find it very endearing. But I agree that his “inspiration” package this week seemed completely disingenuous. Then I forgot all about it when I saw his awesome hip-hop number. It looked to me like he was actually more in the groove of the music than Twitch was. Alex moved to the music while Twitch was a millisecond behind.
I think Lauren is amazing and keeps getting better every week.
Ashley has dead eyes. She should ask Tyra for smizing lessons.
As glad as I am that I don’t have to watch Melinda any more, she didn’t deserve that bullshit from Mia and Adam. Real classy, guys. I think Melinda’s problem is that she’s so in love with herself she can’t establish chemistry with anyone else, like a dance partner. But she was very professional. I’ll give her that.
So glad that Melinda’s gone, I can’t stand her smarmy face anymore. Alex was so awesome, I just love him and I am still loving Robert and Kent and Ashley.
I also really like Jose, but the fact that the judges outright SAY that he’s the worst dancer but who cares really bothers me. Alexie and Christina were far better dancers and it’s really annoying me that he just gets to skate by. Do I like his personality? Absolutely. But I thought that he was abysmal this week. You can’t be all technique and no personality, but you can’t be all personality and no technique either. Gotta be a happy medium and Jose is not there for me. Neither is Billy, for that matter, but to a lesser extent.
Great recap!
Stacy Perry and Georgiababe: Can you please not put spoilers of the next show in the comments of this show? Some people like to read the recap of this show before watching the results show. Now I guess I don’t have to, huh? Or if you absolutely HAVE to put a spoiler or you will die… then label it as a spoiler so that we have the choice to pass over your comment.
Pottymouth: Thank you for another wonderful recap.
Snootchy Bootches: Your request is entirely ridiculous. If you can refrain from watching the results show until after reading the recap then I think you can apply the same discipline to keep you from reading the comments until after you have watched the results show. In the future I will try to remember that I should refrain from making results show comments in a performance recap, but I don’t make any guarantees that my memory is that good.
I tried thinking about this show just before reading your recap, PM…and all I could remember from last week was how lackluster Melinda was and how freakin’ awesome Alex was. What a contrast!!
Then I read your recap, and was disturbed all over again by some of what I saw.
Melinda looked slow, awkward and clumsy…and even Pasha’s hotness and talent couldn’t distract me from how awful she was. She was not, as floated by a fellow poster, chosen because she was on a soap in an effort to attract those viewers…because she was HATED on the her soap. She was ridiculed for being one of the worst actresses ever hired, and she was playing a loathsome character.
As for her solo, she scrapped the music…because she never follows the music anyway. And if you tried to find what count she was using for her solo, THERE WASN’T ONE. She just does a bunch of moves she thinks are interesting, and that’s why I hate her as a tapper.
For all the Billy propping they’ve done, he really isn’t that impressive. He’s fine in solos, but that boy has no emotional connection to other dancers…at least not the women. Don’t know about the guys, since he hasn’t danced with one yet. Is it because he is an introvert…a selfish dancer…isn’t emotionally mature or giving…or doesn’t like girls? Who knows, but the results are not good. His partnered dances are a complete snore.
Lauren continues to annoy me. She’s still too cheerleadery, and in her broadway number, her movements were too small. An example would be her shoulder shrugs when she was being dipped. The movements looked more like a nervous tick than a dance move.
There is a joy when Kent dancers that attracts my attention. The joy is there even when it isn’t on his face. Jose also has a joy, but his is more of an amazement that he is where he is…not as much joy for dancing.
Since when is “all-star” Lauren a hip hop expert?
I thought Bruce Lee’s “advice” clip was crap. The kiss-up to Villella was more sincere than the vague eastern philosophy Lee was selling.
Alex and Twitch were mind-blowing. Loved the story, loved the dancing, loved Twitch right at the end. This dance made me literally sit on the edge of my couch. I wish there were more moments like that. The description of the judges reaction was more graphic than I appreciate, though.
Nigel needs to make up his mind. If the picks are really random, than how is Ashley supposed to help what she gets. If they aren’t random, then blame the person who assigned the dance to Ashley. And if he doesn’t like it, HE’S the man who can change it. So shut the hell up.
A special thank you for the watered Hugh photo.
there is absolutely nothing ridiculous about snootchy bootches request…i have the same problem, especially because i DVR everything and can only watch when i have time, which is often days later. i would think asking someone to read the recap but for some reason avoid the comments is a bit ridiculous.
I had to admit….sigh Alex was wonderful. @here4beer ‘verbal ejaculation’ is the best way to describe the fawning of Alex. Adechike didn’t annoy/irk me as much this week. I don’t get the Billy adoration….he can dance but guys really!!!! Kent is 1 week away from a punch in the chest and my Daddy telling him to ‘man up’. I still *ducking from the shoes thrown* like Robert, don’t know what it is, maybe the looking older than my age(FU guys now I look 25 and I’m 10 years older). The hell! Why do they not say anything wrong about Jose? I mean really, granted he was better than last week but……….Why the hell would having the ousted person stated in a recap written days later be a problem? You know the show aired on Wednesday and the elimination show airs on Thursday….
I’m sorry, Stacy Perry, I didn’t realize that you were one of those speshul snowflakes that think it is ridiculous for someone to ask you to not post a spoiler. You are lucky I was nice about it. Go try posting a spoiler on some of the other shows and watch how fast the flames erupt. Oh and by the way, here’s your sign.
Thank you TvBeta.
Not only do I not get to watch it live, I live on another continent so I have to wait until it is available for me to watch online which is sometimes a few days after the show has aired in the states.
Sorry, but when the recap comes out 5 days after the episode, asking for non-results show spoilers is a little ridiculous. If you can refrain from looking at fox or other websites for the performance show until then, you can skip over the comments on this site. Or just skip the recap altogether.
Yeah I’m gonna have to agree with lifesabeach and others.
The recaps come out a few days after the show has aired. Which means the results show has aired as well. Have some self-control and don’t read the comments on the recaps until you’ve seen the results show. I don’t. I used to and the results were spoiled for me one time so *gasp* I stopped reading the comments until I watched the results show. It’s not that difficult.
Why should I have to do that? When it is just as easy to not post a spoiler. Or post two words: “SPOILER ALERT.” Why should everyone who happens to watch it late have to worry when that is so easy for someone who INSISTS on posting a spoiler. Why is this show any different from any other show? Because I can tell you if you do this on some of the other shows, someone won’t ask nicely as I did. They will just come right out and identify you as a fucking selfish asshole. Maybe I should have just done that first. Clearly being nice isn’t the right way to do it.
Wow. No kindness anywhere around.
Snooty Bootches…you know I love ya, but your initial request had a nasty tone and a bit of snark to it. Maybe an earnnest, humble request originally might have been met with better reception by the others.
As for the others’ reactions…geez, guys. Identifying spoilers as such, or not posting them, is a pretty small request in the general scheme of things. Perhaps you could at least try to be accomodating (although mistakes are sometimes made. I, too, have occasionally thoughtlessly included a spoiler.)
We’re all generally a fairly jovial and relaxed bunch here. Let’s all take a deep breath/drink/toke (whatever is your habit,) and see if we can play nice.
Yep, it had some snark to it (in keeping with the site), but no nastiness. And I even said please! If I wanted to be nasty and snarky, I would have said: “People like you who post spoilers without warning are assholes.” (a watered-down but close paraphrase of a response to a spoiler seen on a different show’s recap)
But as it was, the only snarky comment in my entire request was: “Now I guess I don’t have to, huh?” Pretty mild, wouldn’t you say?
But I was surprised at the push back for what is a pretty standard request for any show that votes someone off each week.
I’m just saying when you’re looking for other people to accomodate a request, diplomacy gets you farther than sarcasm.
Darn.I just wrote a long post and captcha got me!
I have been here 4 yrs and it has always been common courtesy not to post anything that wasn’t mentioned within a re-cap.There are 3 reasons.
First is of course spoilers.That being said some people take joy in ruining things for other’s.(yeah,I am looking at you)Then they claim that they will “try” not to,claiming a bad memory all the while remembering to post a spoiler.
Also,when a re-capper takes the time to write something for our enjoyment we should have enough respect to comment on what they have written.
Also we lose continuity when people decide to talk about another episode.It makes the comment section cloudy for those of us that are DISCUSSING THE RE-CAP.
I can see from your response to Snooty what kind of idiot we are dealing with.I do not want to wait to read the comment’s.There are a few poster’s here that I enjoy reading and I don’t want to wait just because you are incapable of common courtesy.
Hey,I have an idea,why don’t YOU wait before you post? It isn’t like you post anything interesting or relevant anyway.You won’t be missed,I promise.
BTW,Your hubby probably jumped because you are such a demanding bitch,not because you laughed.
Robin
I’m with Snootch on this one. I know it was probably not intentional, but it *is* a spoiler if you post results in the comment section of the performance show, no matter if it has been a day or a week, and IMO it’s not very considerate to do so. If it was an accident, simply apologize. If it was intentional, I think that Snootchy has every right to be annoyed. We all love to read the recaps on this site, and we should be able to expect that the comments are spoiler-free.
Post results on the results recaps, or in the forums if you simply cannot wait — that’s what they are there for. On some sites, you’ll get banned for posting spoilers. It’s considered declasse.
Okay, now peace and hugs and all that everyone.
I used to like Adam BEFORE they made him a full time judge. He just seems like the King of Hyperbole to me now. Wasn’t he the one that compared Baby Mowee to Ann Reinking? Pfft! As if!
Well, I never post spoilers because I also hate reading them. I believe that this recap is the first time I’ve posted one and it was completely accidental, so sorry Snooty, I shall refrain from doing so in the future.
Also, MEOW. Some of you people need to stop being so judgmental and rude (cough Robinez). At the end of the day, it’s a REALITY SHOW. Your life is not going to be ruined because you happened to read a spoiler. Sure, you can kindly ask people not to post them, but calling someone a demanding bitch? Really? Are you 12? Yeesh.
And, just for interest’s sake, I actually LIKE spoilers because I have this weird thing where I can’t enjoy a movie/book/tv show unless I know what happens in advance, otherwise I am sitting there thinking about what could happen next. Which is why I always have to look up spoilers or summaries in advance, otherwise I have to watch the movie/read the book etc. twice in order to really absorb everything. Weird, huh? I don’t know why I do it, I just do.
And since I contradicted myself in my 1st and 3rd paragraphs, I must explain. I like reading spoilers IF I seek them out. Usually I will for reasons explained above, but I don’t like coming across them unexpectedly.
*hug georgiababe* We all make mistakes.
And I know what you mean about sometimes wanting to know what happens. I get that way too sometimes.
Robinez, your comment about being here 4 years made me think about how long I have been here. I think I have been here almost 5 years! I know it has been at least 4 because I started reading before we moved overseas. I just lurked for about a year though and never commented. How time flies!
Snootchy Bootches: I feel just terrible that calling you “ridiculous” hurt your feelings so much that you spent all day crying about it on the many, many TV show forums you frequent until you finally found someone who cared enough to come and call me names. Now that I know how sensitive you are I will be sure to use only the gentlest language in my future replies.
I will confess that I didn’t think you cared very much about this show, since you didn’t feel the need to watch it right away and you think the voting results are the only thing worth seeing on Thursday’s episode. But now that I know you are a devoted follower of lots and lots of TV forums I can understand why you can’t find the time to watch actual TV.
And please, tell us some more about the golden days of yore, waaay back in 2005, when you discovered tvgasm. Why, I bet you even remember BSide and J! People who brag about how long they have been reading a web site are adorable. I just got here yesterday.
Long time commenters are part of the history of the site, and as the “constituency” upon which the site was built it isn’t inappropriate to remark on it. I’ve been here a long time too, and I enjoy the fact that I’ve been able to interact and understand MANY aspects of TVgasm through my own experiences here, and in some cases historic perceptions inform present circumstances.
I lurk on this recap for the most part, but this whole thing got under my skin. First and foremost, it’s rude and disrespectful to Potty Mouth to turn this into a personal battleground.
Second, while I agree (as a courtesy) that comments should be contained to the recap at hand – our collective excitement about the shows by and large sometimes bleed into shows that haven’t been recapped yet – I know I’ve been guilty of it, and like most I try to keep my comments relevant to what has been written about in the recap but I slip up sometimes.
I love snark and sarcasm as much as anyone else here, but what amounts to a personal attack between commenters takes away from everyone else’s ability to enjoy and comment on the actual RECAP. Honestly, I can see valid points on both sides – I just wish it hadn’t brought out so much animosity. At the end of the day we’re all here because we enjoy talking about these stupid shows, and to each other about these stupid shows.
PS – I remember B-Side and J-Unit, and how groundbreaking I thought their website was. I’m kind of proud of the fact that I was a small part of their success, and I feel the same way about having been part of the evolution of what the site has become today – that’s not bragging, it’s acknowledging my (virtual) relationships with the people here.
Anyway, like I said I usually lurk on this recap board – but I love the recaps! Awesome job Potty Mouth, this show is so kinetic I love reading your take on everyone
And don’t forget Ed Hill too! Fun times, fun times.
Stacy Perry: Are you off your meds? I made a SIMPLE request for you to not post spoilers which is considered COMMON COURTESY on every tv recap website known to man. I’m sorry that you are such a selfish person that you don’t understand that there are other people on the planet. I bet you routinely disregard the feelings of others if it isn’t convenient for you, don’t you? Georgiababe handled the situation with class and for that I applaud her. I’m sorry you are not so classy.
As I mentioned in one of my posts, which you clearly were unable to understand, I live on another CONTINENT. I don’t have the choice of watching the show live or even of DVRing it. I also don’t have the option of going to the network website to watch it. They block those living outside of the USA. So, yes, it does sometimes take me a few days to watch the show because the show just simply isn’t available to me before that. However, this isn’t about me being a unique situation. In fact, I am not a unique situation. There are others who frequent this website who also do not live in the US and yet enjoy these shows and their recaps. There are also people who do live in the US, but have life commitments that do not allow them to always watch a show within 24 hours of it airing. We all like to be able to enjoy a recap just like everyone else without having to read spoilers about the next episode. It is a pretty simple concept. I’m not sure why you seem to find not posting a recap (or simply posting SPOILER ALERT) as somehow inhibiting your experience on the website.
Despite your comments about me and my life, you know nothing about me. Of course, you also know nothing about common courtesy either, but I think that topic has already been discussed. I belong to one website as far as commenting goes… this one. I did not have to go around and ask people to comment against you because people who visit this site normally (like you and me) were able to see what a total asshat you are on their own.
And if you did just arrive yesterday.. what a wonderful impression you have already made. By any chance, you don’t happen to have a daughter that appeared on Toddlers and Tiaras, do you? That is usually where the total delusional idiots come from.
And I will not be commenting on this thread further. I agree with P.Cheez that such an off topic argument is insulting to Pottymouth who does such a great job recapping this show.
Did anyone else think that Cat looked liked a Jiffy Pop with that dress?
Okay. I used to post here and on the forums quite frequently, but have only had time to lurk as of late. This discussion prompted me to come out of semiretirement, though, to add just one thing to the discussion…
Dear Stacy Perry: Shut the hell up, you idiotic buffoon. The more you type, the dumber you sound.
Sorry for interjecting, PottyMouth. Carry on…
<>
Wow. I’ve been sitting here trying to figure out what to say to you guys. Do I ignore the fighting? Get upset about the fighting? Make a joke? I’m not usually at a loss for words, but this time….yeah, kinda. It’s like the time a couple of my friends were fighting and they kept getting meaner and meaner and meaner until I finally blew up and told them they BOTH shitheads, promptly losing two friends. Actually, it’s not really like that because it turned out they both really were shitheads and I was better off without them. Crap. No more being nasty to each other. Please? Next time I have to come in here, I’m cracking skulls!
here4beer: Verbal ejaculation!! I love it! Don’t be surprised if that shows up in one of my recaps someday! I love Alex too, but I’m worried that the judges verbal ejaculation (hee!) will turn off the viewers and cost him votes. Not everyone likes a cum shot!
tommy girl: I’m not usually a fan of Tabitha and Napoleon, but every now and then they bust a good one; this was definitely one of those times.
mel: I agree, but isn’t that true even of brilliant choreography? I can’t even begin to say how much Mia and Adam pissed me off with their comments. SO RUDE.
vallegirl: As soon as Alex said Villella was his inspiration I said “Vallegirl is home right now yelling BULLSHIT at her TV”!
rubberduck1810: Thanks for the info on RemoteKontrol – I’ll have to check out their channel. And I don’t know what it is with Jose; he is exactly what I would usually be raging about in this competition, but I can’t myself, I’ve fallen under his spell a little. I think he may be a hypnotist. Yep. He’s gotta be.
xxodettexx: I agree, it’s another reason the all star format doesn’t really work for me. The routines shouldn’t be about the all star, they should be about the contestants.
jewel64: Oh, Yay! We have our very own ballroom expert in the comments! Now that you’ve revealed yourself you’ll have to tell us what you think about the ballroom numbers! My ballroom knowledge comes entirely from this show and watching those Juliet Prowse specials on PBS!
lifesabeach: Oh Lord, if Lauren and Robert dance together, I just….I can’t……too much. My brain hurts just thinking about that much mugging on one stage. Oy.
Stacy Perry: I wish they’d stop with the rehearsal footage, but then again, I always wish they’d have no filler and more dancing. The description of the dances can end up being super manipulative (breast cancer dance anyone?) and then the judges are reacting to that rather than the actual dancing.
georgiababe: I hear what you’re saying about Jose, and I can’t figure out why it doesn’t bug me more. Usually I’d be screaming to the heavens about the lack of critique for the weakest dancers. Like I said before, hypnotist. Or wizard. Gotta be.
Snootchy Bootches: I’m sorry you were spoiled on the results, but I’m glad you enjoyed the recap.
cattyfan: Sorry I got a little too graphic for you there! I couldn’t help it, my brain just went there. Yeah, it was strange to see Pasha’s hotness rendered helpless by Melinda’s suckiness. I never thought I’d see the day.
Moli: I won’t throw shoes at you for liking Robert. I will simply buy you glasses.
leslilly: That’s so funny because I said the exact same thing to my sister this week. I think they start to love the sound of their own voices a little too much. Also? The toxic donuts/pastie thing cracked me up; but wouldn’t a pastie with a hole in the center kinda defeat the purpose????
Prodigal Cheez! Hey girl, I didn’t know you lurked here. Someday you’ll need to do one of your awesome psychotically breakdowns on Nigel, Mia and Adam. Or Sir BitchyPants. Yes, start with him please.
SWAK, PottyMouth
Holy Shit, John Bender! And the timing of you coming in to post while I’m quoting The Breakfast Club…..how AWESOME.
Would it help if I snarkily mouthed along with you saying, “I’m cracking skulls?”
Hee! My love for that movie knows no bounds.
“vallegirl: As soon as Alex said Villella was his inspiration I said “Vallegirl is home right now yelling BULLSHIT at her TV”!”
Ha, I did. Literally.
I’m on it Potty Mouth! LOL, now that the RHONY bitches are on hiatus – I can spread the love!
Mia is a whacko, and her style of critiquing reminds me of how I look at a really decadent French pastry – sometimes I fall so in love with it I don’t know if I want to eat it, or fu*k it – she gives off the same vibe in the judge’s seat. Too much? LOL.
