Reunited and it feels so gay.
Gang. I know. This recap could not be any later. In my defense I've been out of town since last Thursday night and then my friend was visiting from out of town until yesterday. All signs pointed to me having that thing they call "a life", and it was confusing for me, too. I promise nothing that wild and out of character will happen again. I find it all just as unsettling as you do. But luckily we had the most exciting episode since Rob Hottie came and our dancers street battled! For me, at least, it was worth the wait. The eliminated dancers returned for a spicy salsa fiesta and one of them is here to stay! Read on to find out who is rocking my world yet again...
So it's challenge number seven! Moving right along. Mochi is talking about how supportive her family is and Mean Gay is bitching. Just another morning at Pegasus. Did you know that he's Mexican and he was not supported as a dancer because it's not macho? Poor Mean Gay. Life is hard.
But I have the manliest limp wrist in all of West Hollywood. I don't get it.
And now Nick foraying into the world of loser talk. He tells us that he lost his love for dance somewhere along the way as a professional dancer and he hoped this competition would spark that flame. And guess what. It hasn't. Stay tuned to find out what happens in this tepid romance.
So our group goes to their studio and if you hadn't noticed it now is draped in Mexican blankets and adorned with sombreros on the wall. Our dancers definitely don't notice.
Cinco de Gayo.
Nomi and Jer and two mysterious guests are waiting for them. Nomi announces that this is Latin week! And to demo, pechangas a little move with our choreographer this week Jordi Caballero. (I'm sure she practiced saying his name for ten minutes before camera time, and she still mispronounced it.)
Also flanking our choreographer is a darling little latin nymph, Vai, who will stand in as the third girl during rehearsal since we are down to three boys and two girls. Jordi es MUY pasionante about today's dance challenge! There's going to be lifts and drops! It's going to be Sabado Gigante!
Mean Gay thinks this is gonna be perfect for him because he can prove Latin men do dance, but his BFF Cheerleader is not happy about this challenge. She doesn't do partner work, nor does she do Latin dancing. She insists someone wants her to go home. That would be me! Unfortunately though, I'm not in charge of challenges, so I can't take all the credit. I have magical elf cronies working behind the scenes at Bravo.
They are going to learn a salsa number and have an hour and fifteen for Jose to see what they got. And they're going to mix it up so they won't get too comfortable with any one person. Let's begin! Our salsa number has a story! It's a cat and mouse game between a man and a woman.
And then you beat the mouse with a stick at the end. Beating mice is el machismo grande.
It's Latin! It's hot! Jose yells! And this is of course, Straight Nick's Achilles heel. How can we expect a frat boy to feel the red-blooded sensuality of the Latin dance? Let's put him with Cheerleader and have a laugh.
He asks them if they can do a basic salsa and they can. But don't let any false confidence build! Jordi will beat you with that stick yet.
So far so good for Mochi Ball though. Her knee is holding up a-ok. All signs point to being back to normal physically. She's like a little video game character that just found a magical mushroom to give her back full strength. Go Mochi Ball!
But enough with the success stories, now they have to learn the most complicated looking lift yet. The girl goes at an angle over the shoulder of her partner and then gets rolled down the man's body like a window shade until she almost face plants. The dancers gasp in horror. Like so:
Macho man throws mouse to show who is El Jefe.
Play with mouse to show who is El Machismo.
Mouse is dead.

Hysterically funny recap again!
I was getting worried there for a bit...where's this week's recap?
It was worth the wait, though.
Now, no more of this "having a life" stuff, okay? We have recap needs that need to be met. ;)

OK, Miss Sensation, we'll give you a pass this time, but note you have been demoted from Lady to Miss for now... Although if the next recap is as funny as this one AND a little earlier, I'm willing to reconsider.
Regarding Janelle's creepy talk about cutting off Tovah's legs, all I have to say is: maybe British Columbia police should be checking her out? I saw this item in my newspaper yesterday (the timing was just perfect!), and I tried to post a link, but URLs are not allowed. So Google for yourself "Fourth severed right foot found in BC". Now, of course I am not really implying that Janelle had anything to do with this, but wouldn't it go a long way towards explaining why at times she seems to be all left feet? Hmmmm...
