At the end, for Mochi's fifteen seconds she runs across the stage (showing she still has some youthful exuberance left!) Cheerleader wanders around dazed, Mean Gay takes off his tie. Wow, I thought they'd have more to say than that.
The judges heartily applaud our men in the mirror though. And Nomi feels emotional just watching it. Emotion. Emotion. Emotion. It's starting to have no meaning anymore. Vincent is allowed to speak first since it's his baby and all, and Vincent congratulates all of them, but just as I suspected, he loves Nick best. And so does Disney Nancy. He finally took their notes! And we thought you were deaf, jokes Nancy. Huh? Nick jokes back. Oooh! That was a good one.
And now this one speaks up:
Would you like to stick a pin in my cushion?
Something about a journey. Whatever.
Mean Gay was weak on his turns, according Toni Basil. Something real came out of him during those fifteen seconds, but he's gotta get those turns! Adds Vinnie: some of his lines were not Vinnie's choreography! Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't. And guess which time this is. You got it. Mean Gay sucks. He's asking them to be accurate. Well, defends Mean Gay, he's a mover and you can't control it! And now he cries and says that he's all bark and no bite. And the sun rises and sets.
Toni Basil says that Cheerleader also accomplished something emotional during the change in the music. It was also real. But she has a problem with technical work. Vincent talks to Cheerleader and says he's too emotional to talk to her. Emotionemotionemotion. He appreciates her giving a hundred percent. Disney Nancy says she's her powerhouse but she needs to work on it. Cheerleader is crying too. Is everyone on their period? Jesus H, I can't take it anymore. The lump of coal in my chest cavity just doesn't give a rat's ass here.
Toni Basil doesn't have anything bad to say about Mochi Ball and Disney Nancy and Vincent don't either. Mochi Ball is perfection. Go, Mochi.
And now onto STAH. Toni Basil thought Cody seemed like a dancer acting. Disney Nancy still thinks it's snobby. Bitch, what? Nomi is up in arms over that one. And then we get the most passive-aggressive throwdown since the Cold War. Nomi defends him saying that there's a work ethic and generosity of spirit that does NOT apply. GO, Nomi. Way to defend him. But let me finish up, bitch, says Nancy essentially. And Nomi is pissed. No one tells her to shut up. She's the host, dammit.
I will not look in your general direction until you admit starring opposite Kyle McLachlan is a bigger accomplishment than anything you will ever do in your entire life.
Vincent tries to intercept, but they still go at it. Nomi is saying she's allowed to speak and Disney Nancy is getting all condescending authoritative on her snob point, even calling her "sweetheart". And Toni Basil just wonders where the heck she is.
I wonder if Atlantis really existed? Or if I can get this hat in chartreuse?
And now they're going to take a few moments to discuss and the dancers hit the back of the stage, which is a bummer because it was just getting good and I could have seen Disney and Nomi go at it all night. Emotion!
So Vincent thought Mochi did the best. Straight Nick is the other strong contender to be the winner, exactly like last week. Mean Gay is obviously on the bottom for falling out of the turn, not to mention that he flubbed in the rehearsal when completely blanked on the choreography. Star Cody is a bit boring, but technically perfect. Cheerleader is weak in technique, but all emotional. And decision is made. Let's get Cheerface outta here.
So obvies, there won't be immunity but they will have a winner...Mochi performed flawlessly and Straight Nick sold the whole package. And Vinnie announces the winner...Straight Nick wins again. How could he rob Mochi Ball twice? They better just be saving her up for the big finale.
Old people shouldn't be left alone with scissors.
And now who will go? Toni Basil still blathers on like she's known these people since birth and I feel like I could be a better guest judge because I've been analyzing their movements like a stalker. There's just no justice in the world.

Okay, I'm only on page 3 of the recap but I have to stop and thank you for fabulous Arrested Development (best show ever!) and Tyra references!
T-bo would definitely approve and I can't believe straight guy wore the same costume as Buster...but in real life! LOL!!!

I just had to write to say that "Center Stage" is a really good movie! It's one of my favorites. I don't remember how or why I saw it the first time, but it is really good.
