We get a fun little exchange where Cody whispers to Mean Gay that he can have Tovah Doe and that he'll take Loser Talk (who I'm just delighted to see personally) so Mean Gay can have a dancer more his height and a dancer that didn't leave him on stage. Mean Gay is of course all, you don't have to, do what you want. And would you really help out Mean Gay? There's a suspenseful pause as Star Cody is genuinely torn, and then of course Star Cody chooses Tovah Doe. It's kind of a beautiful smack in the face.
That's what your face looked like as I was smacking it.
Mean Gay now doesn't trust Star Cody. He needs to just own up to the fact that he's in it to win it instead of playing everyone's BFF. True that. Don't fall from grace, Stah. I like you on that pedestal. Mean Gay picks Loser Talk. He'd rather be with the girl who ran off stage then the girl eliminated first. And she does have the potential to be Baby Gazelle. Let her be your Baby Gazelle! At least let her bust that HAWesome instructional cabbage patch.
Loser Talk is overjoyed that Mean Gay picked her. So overjoyed that she sprints across and mauls him with affection. I am LOVING this soap opera of a selection. But you know who doesn't give a rat's ass? Everyone else:
So how 'bout that paint drying over there?
Cheerleader picks Hugger because they got hated on in the Apache and she wants to show the judges that they can suck twice. To underscore, Hugger said he farted when she called his name.
Straight Nick is with Adriana (Seriously. Who?) and she jumps on him, too, like he had a choice in the matter and he picked her over Nomi Malone.
Mochi Ball is last and it's down to Bi Mike and Italian...She picks Italian! Yay! But it turns out Bi Mike has a background in salsa and tango so he could have helped someone. But...nobody cares.
The feeling is mutual.
And the temperature is rising! We learn that it's also a competition for the rejects. Whoever is the strongest out of the five of them gets to return FOR GOOD. I guess producers added this since we were shortchanged a week with Go-go leaving early? The crowd is shocked. I am ecstatic.
Now I can leave your ass twice on stage. Sucka.
They have a group number that will feature each couple in solos. And Mochi is not doing so well after her mental meltdown. The eliminatees are all fresh in body, mind and spirit and she is faltering physically and mentally. No, Mochi Ball, no! I will not allow this to happen. You shall make it to the end of the level and get special bonus points for being so cute.
By the way, the latin nymph does not feel the surge of emotions that I do. That bitch is totally phoning it in. I want to see some passion!
The group has four and a half hours to learn the moves, which seems like a lot, but with partners it makes things more difficult. And now it's time for the hardest lift since the last one. "Death-defying partnering stunt" as Mean Gay puts it. The guy has to lift the girl all the way up, arms fully extended with the girl horizontal in a second split. The possibility for a face plant here is also high. And the fall a lot farther. Therefore the potential for awesomeness is high.
More Queen meets Jock "deliciousness".
Cheerleader is bitching that it's not her "genre", which she does every week now and is also hating on Tovah Doe's legs. She wants to cut them off and put them on her body. If I'd been able to have my normal amount of recap time I would have photoshopped that image for you and it would have ruled. Just know that that's how much I love you guys and I'm sad you don't get to experience my Cheerleader with Tovah Doe legs photoshop art.
Straight Nick tells us that he feels he's next in line to go. He also can't believe that he cares this much. A real true artist doesn't care. Yeah, that's what makes people stand out. Their complete dedication to apathy. Cody encourages him to find something that makes him unique from the other dancers. I got it. His lack of passion! Run with it, Straight Nick. Run with it all the way to your final dance. He's like an abstract painting that not everyone loves. Does anyone else hear the tiniest violin in the world playing?

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...
