And we go right into the next performance. Dolphin #1 looks like an astral disco cheerleader. Dolphin #2 looks like he got lost on the way to the Pride Parade. And the pig just looks happy to not have been vomited on by a giant lamé spewing creature. There's a lot of running around in circles. And I mean that literally AND figuratively.
Surf and Turf: The interpretive dance
The other team comes out and it's time for a mass judging. The dolphin and the pig are up first and their dynamic is up for discussion. And suddenly the pig runs to hug the dolphin? Huh? Now it's an inter-species lovefest? But was it really, asks Jacques Heim? Mon dieu! If that was love, he knows nothing about it! Oh, Jacques Heim, my love for you continues to grow!
'When pigs fly' works on several levels here.
You know what, says Mean Gay, our relationship is up and down. Huh? That shit is about as low as you can go. Bi Mike says that he just rolled over and took it and things got a lot better. Spoken like a true bottom. Atta boy.
The French Lover Honee Baybee thinks Cheerleader needs more technique and isn't connected to her center. You have to understand l'amour for that. Disney Nancy also thought she struggled with this challenge. She even calls her a cheerleader. Whatevs, you heard it here first. Everyone thinks she made the movement look harder than it was, which is the worst thing you can do as a dancer. Eve ryone thought Mean Gay did well, but thought that Bi Mike didn't really get it. He interpreted "freedom" to just mean run in circles. Lack of training is clear.
Isn't "Diavolo" French for cheerleading or something?
Now onto the A-team. Star Cody was breathtaking according to Vincent Patterson. Yah he is. Mochi takes some heat from Jacques Heim though. He thinks that she has "great ideas" and that she dances beautifully, but he totally has a French cow over the fact that she cut phrases due to her injury. Seriously he goes off on her "little bruise" and Mochi Ball breaks down crying Tovah Doe style. She needs to buck up. Frenchie tells us that he performed with broken ribs, broken toes and broken fingers. Really? That must have looked like shit.
Cody tries to take the heat and say that he told her to hold back. (Aw. Star Cody becomes more loveable all the time.) But French Fabio is not having it. She is the dancer so she is responsible for her choices. And the reason is riding her so hard is because she is AWESOME!
You are zee perfect size to bee in my circus of small acrobats!
So Straight Nick got a little better for the judges and added some chocolate chips to his vanilla ice cream he serves up each week, but he still needs to step it up. And Vincent just tells him to scream real loud once. The rest of the A-team plugs their ears and he lets loose. What was the point of that you ask? Well, that was a metaphor, my friends. Vincent was trying to make an analogy for what Nick's body wants to do. Then he talks about dancing in a commercial and it loses its poignancy.
So who is the winner? It's between Mean Gay and Cody. Cody is well-rounded and strong and has great tricks. Mean Gay dances with his whole heart on his sleeve. And then the clip that they show to exemplify "dancing with your heart on your sleeve" is HILARY. It looks like a queen drowning in plywood. I watch it several times.
"Dancing with your heart on your sleeve" a lot like "dancing with no dignity".
Bottom two are Bi Mike and Cheerleader. Bi Mike doesn't have the training. Cheerleader is a cheerleader. Disney Nancy could get rid of either of them and sleep well at night.
But first the winner. WInner is Star Cody who at least doesn't pretend to be surprised this time. When he trots to the wings, Jer tells him that he guessed it. Jer LOVES Star Cody.

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.
