So first things first, I'd like to clear something up. After the reader comment that I was delusional in thinking that Italian might be into someone like me (i.e. I have lady parts), I checked out his bio on the Bravo website and perhaps I should have done that in the first place. Cosmetologist? Works in a salon? That pose? I stand corrected.

I was tryeeeng to tell youuu.

So we enter today's episode with Mean Gay and Chihuahua saying that they are going to do this for Hugger. Like he died or something. It's a reality show, people. Not a charity marathon. And then Mean Gay reminds us how everyone else sucks so Hugger should totally be there. Did you know they were also "sistas"? Yeah, me neither.

In the kitchen (I mean, why not?) Michael is ironing a t-shirt from the Fox Hills mall, and informs us that he can handle anything that comes his way. He may be the ironer, but he can take on "the sisters". He's got thick skin. And he only wants perfectly ironed shirts against it.

I'll show them who's the sista.

So now Italian seems very obviously gay to me. It's become more and more clear in my mind, but it's been hard to tell my heart that. I think I got thrown off the first episode when he humped Go-go on the bar. So sue me. Anyway, he's all excited he won the challenge. He eees thee weeeener! One step closer to grand prize money for mama.

And guess who's coming to breakfast? Nomi waltzes in with a basket full of muffins and coffee for everyone. She just wants to hang with the cool kids. Bi Michael cuts right to the chase and asks her how much she enjoys watching them. And then Nomi gets reals. She tells them that their performances make her want to cry. Because she understands what it takes! She understands the discipline and passion it takes. Then she tears up and gets quaky-voiced right in front of them, all cinema verité.

Buck up. Cristal Connors never cried.

Italian asks in his adorable accent what is going to be happening too-DAAY and Nomi says she can't say but they should get ready for...the streets. And our group knows what that means! Chihuahua is particularly excited because this is her world and last challenge was obviously shitty for her. And now she can really lay some ugly man faces on us.

They get to their rehearsal space and Jerry Tim Gunn is there to introduce the guest choreographer of the week, Dave Scott. And he is the genius--GENIUS--behind such the Classic American Films as You Got Served and Stomp the Yard. When Michael says those words, I literally get chills. Those are two of the finest movies ever made and words do not express the excitement I feel for this week's challenge. Jerry says that because his movies involve street battles, this week's challenge will be a battle.

Let the mixed reactions begin! Straight Nick is from the suburbs, so he's not confident. Michael is excited to see what he's going to throw at them. But don't worry, Straight Nick. Time for a demo! And just when I thought things could not get any better, Rob Hoffman, the HOTTIE from Step Up 2 The Streets, (saw it twice already, thank you very much.) is here to demonstrate a battle. Chihuahua informs us that she went out for the lead role in that film. Oh no she did not. That girl made no ugly man faces when she danced, so I'm thinking that might have had something to do with you not landing the role.

I don't get why it wasn't me?

And it's Battle Time! So, confession: I dork out and turn up the TV really loud and it gets ear-busting when Mochi Ball and Tovah Doe talk over it because now their voices sound like a hundred decibels, but it still feels like I'm in my own personal living room club with Rob Hottie.

Would you like to have this dance, Lady S?
