And the accolades just continue. Italian is Jordi's dream dancer. Disney Nancy thought he was a complete stud muffin and loved how he stayed in character. Vincent said his stag leap could have been on the cover of Dance magazine. Yay! All signs point to a triumphant return. When Vincent says they were flawless we get a cutaway
to a very excited Mochi.

Magical mushrooms! Wheeee!

Italian even adds that if he were straight he would marry her she is so gorgeous. And now I feel I would have to fight off Mochi for Italian and fight off Italian for Mochi. There's a lot going on. And speaking of beauty, Tovah Doe's extensions, too, were worthy of a magazine cover. Of course her highest praise is how gorgeous she is, Halle Berry look-alike and all. Must be tough.

So who to bring back? Suddenly everybody is back in the good graces. They reiterate the things they told the contenders. Hugger and Adriana are still out, though, and it's between Tovah Doe and Italian. Side-by-side yet again! Vincent tells Tovah Doe that he wanted to be up there with her and Disney Nancy calls Italian Stud Muffin again. That may be his new name.

AND..ITALIAN IS BACK!!!! I mean, STUD MUFFIN IS BACK!!! I actually scream with joy and I am embarrassed for myself even though I'm the only one in the room.

EYE AM A WEEENER FOR MAMA!

So after that joyful affirmation of life, now it's time for an elimination. The five remaining dancers come out and get their inner ears inflamed. The judges think Mean Gay did great without a partner. He was an "Edward Scissorhands" cutting through the space. Clean lines like a surgeon. Of course he has to bring up his father and machismo, and the weird intersection of Latin dancing and then not being allowed to dance as a person of Latin descent. I'm still not getting that paradox.

And Mochi totally redeemed herself! Whoa! and Wow!, say our picky crowd. She steamed up Vincent's glasses and stole the show. She also gives kudos to Stud Muffin and even points out that he did her hair. Looks like someone's got a new partner, Star Cody. And I got a couple to break up.

Cheerleader is told she had great energy, but she struggled with the lifts. The female should be able to execute the lifts on her own. Star Cody's performance was cold. They call him a "rock" which is good and bad. He's solid but inaccessible. Straight Nick was a "buttered biscuit" according to Disney Nancy and is starting to show emotional dimension. And for Jordi, he showed some solid acting. Straight Nick can now be Biscuit. Another show I recap with a Biscuit!

And now who wins? It comes down to Mean Gay and Mochi Ball. And...Finally! She defeats the Troll and can advance to Level Eight!

The fire graphics on this game are so 1994.

So who is going to go? With Cody we did not see the sabor, but in the rehearsal he was the best. A-ha! Another reversal of fortune. This show is epic. And then we have Cheerleader is not linked with the group. Please. Cody is not going home. And he isn't! They're actually both safe. Nomi said someone would come back but she never said anyone would be going home...tricky Nomi yet again. It wouldn't be fair to replace them with someone who's been eliminated, which had crossed my mind as well. So the gang's all here!

And nobody has a final dance tonight. So we're just left with some clips for next week. On the rooftop with umbrellas? More Mary Poppins shit? Ah, well. Magical elves like the whimsy of Disney classics.

Still practically perfect in every way.

Alright, ladies and gents. Thanks for being so patient. Again I apologize for the tardiness. Next week I'll be back waiting for you after the weekend as usual. So is everyone else as excited to see Stud Muffin Italian back as I am? Life on this show is good.

Love y'all!
xoxo, Lady S.

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. ;)

sayhuh:

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...
