In the chill out room, Mean Gay is on a roll. Bi Mike says that it's a head game and quite the head game it is. Everyone is getting a headache. He calls him and Cheerleader dolphins and Bi Mike a pig. He says it should just be a duet. And then we get that line where Bi Mike says that he's still here and Mean Gay snips, "Question of the f*#%ing year." Bi Mike isn't my favorite, but I don't like bullies and I hate how Mean Gay treats him. Especially when he keeps asking, "How do you expect me to look good?" Bi Mike has nothing to do with you looking good, dude.
You got that one all on your own.
The next morning, Mean Gay tries to choreograph something since he knows they only have thirty seconds of a dance prepared. Mean Gay is even ready to suck it up and act like he likes him. Now that would be the performance of the year.
At the theater they find out that indeed everyone is up for elimination. There is no winning group. Jacques Heim indeed thinks you are all losers! Zeut alors! Only Star Cody who won immunity last week is safe. But luckily for them, unlike all the other weeks, they get the morning to rehearse again.
And now in some Bravo synergy, out comes Project Runway winner Jeffrey Sebelia with some ugly space leggings for the dancers. He says they're supposed to have a "rock and roll" feel, but it's more "gay disco" feel. Has life been treating you so badly since your last stint on reality tv that you've had to make silver lamé track suits for other reality show contestants?
Jeffrey's next collection will be a collaboration with Project Runway's Rami Kashou, where they explore the intersection of silver lamé and draping.
So now onto second rehearsal! Mean Gay is ready to go today and Mean Gay's concepts do save the day. Jacques Heim loves how they've come together and they are excited for their choreography.
Next group comes out and doesn't do as well as yesterday. Mochi Ball can't reach the atom. She's frustrated. And then, CRUNCH. She does reach the atom and bangs her knee doing it. She can barely hobble around and this could spell trouble for the A-team. She is rushed to the hospital for x-rays, but all Mochi Ball wants to do is perform! It's really adorable when Cody carries her. No one wants to do it without her, so Mochi better get her act together.
The line between real life and dance life blurs further as Cody carries Mochi Ball for twenty-four hours straight.
By the way, we've never talked about how awesome this "instructional dance" clip is from Loser Talk on the Step It Up bumpers. I know I'm not the only one LMAO when this pops on the screen:
Hey guys, it's me again. Does my cabbage patch suck? It does, doesn't it?
I digress. Back in the holding area, everyone is speculating on the Mochi Ball sitch. Star Cody just doesn't even feel right about performing without her. Mean Gay of course does not feel the same sympathy and is all, "This is a competishiiiinnnnn."
So diagnosis is Mochi Ball has a contusion, which is basically a bad bruise, swelling and mad pain. But Mochi Ball is a dancer. And to be a dancer is to understand pain in a personal and intimate way. She can totally do it. She announces that she's still in the game, but Star Cody is all paternal protective our little lioness. He wants her to sit and be carried. He doesn't want her injury aggravated. And Mochi wants to push through and dance, but loves how considerate Star is. Or he just doesn't want you to outshine him. Kidding! Star Cody would never do that.
So onto callback performance! Vincent Patterson LOVES this gay space lamé look, because it reminds him of his early nineties heyday at Limelight. James St. James was such a frenemy of his back then.
Just a rainbow and ecstasy pill away from the best Ziggy Stardust interpretation ever!
The A-team is up first and Mochi Ball is putting on her game face. And, WTF? They're dancing to "The Sweet Escape" by Gwen Stefani? Only Frenchie would think this is a good song selection. Do they ever get to rehearse with the song? Anyway, the performance looks fine even with Mochi not at full strength. Star Cody looks amazing, Mochi Ball looks adorable and injury-free, and Straight Nick does what he does best: blends in.
Hey, I'm in this, too!

Rami didn't win Project Runway, Christian did.
That is all :)

Thanks for playing, serjen, and pointing out the obvious. But IS never said Rami won PR. He just said he was a draping phenom. Save your snarky comment for another time when you can put it in the proper context.

Hilarious post, IS. I'm new to this site (and addiction to Bravo-reality) and really enjoy your commentary.
And I don't think serjen was being snarky--I'm pretty sure IS originally wrote that Rami was the winner, then fixed it.

why does everyone wear pretty much the same circle, hemp rope type of necklace? is this bravo's way of hiding a microphone, but letting the dancers have their own style and flair?

I read a lot of recaps and blogs on Bravo reality shows, but this one has to be the most laugh-out-loud funniest I have seen recently. Great play off Miguel's dolphin and pig comments. You've added a lot to the entertainment value of the show --

Your recaps are hilarious and so on target. I am looking forward to reading your take on the Latin challenge.
