Is it just me or were all the photos bad from the touch football game?  It’s like all the girls besides Kayla forgot they were models and were just posing at a game with friends.  Kayla clearly deserved to win that one.

I LOVED this photo shoot with Coco Rocha.  She is aMAYzing.  She looked different in every single shot.  That’s where this becomes an art and not just taking pretty photos.  Heaven knows I could use a little of that art in my photos.  Maybe I’ll try aggression next time.  Pretty scream into the camera.  That’s so funny to think about.  What would my husband do if I screamed at him through the camera?  Hilarious.  Or the photographer at Target during my family pic?  That would be a riot.

So happy Allison got a good photo.  She looked like a deer caught in the headlights the whole time.  And when she tried screaming?  Oh my gosh that was a crack up.  I just love her so much I hate to see her struggle with anything.  I WANT HER TO WIN!!!!!!  I love her quirkiness and unexpected beauty.  Go Allison!!

Dominique looked amazing in her photo shoot and at panel.  I think they’re right that she is really developing and coming into her own.  Stunning.

I’m still amazed at the ridiculously bad photos that are coming out of this season but I’m blown away by the good ones.

btw I couldn’t blog the last two weeks but can you believe how uppity Shannon got when Bianca had a real concern about her phone time being allotted correctly?  ”I’m a sensitive spirit and I don’t like conflict.”  I’m sorry but what conflict was Bianca throwing out?  She was speaking in a completely civilized tone using appropriate language.  And then Lisa.  Now you know I love Lisa because she is a drama queen but please.  Give me a break.  She went off on Bianca for no reason.  Now I know Bianca likes to tell it like it is and causes problems but this time I felt she was completely justified.  Stupid girls.

Phew.  It feels good to get that off my chest.  Can’t wait for next week.  This season is truly spectacular.

Where you surprised Bre went home last night?  I kind of was but that was a craptastic photo shoot.

ANTM is on next week (with Kathy Griffin.  squeeeel) on Wednesday at 8pm on The CW.

What just happened??!!  Joshua is safe and Anthony Ryan is going home??!!  Now you may find my reaction odd since last week I professed my love for Joshua but remember.  It’s not because he’s a great designer.  It’s because he’s a drama queen and I LOVE drama.  But to have Anthony Ryan sent home instead of him seems sick and wrong.  I am so sad right now.  Anthony Ryan drives me nuts because he has two names and truth be told I haven’t really connected with him or his pieces but this just doesn’t seem right.  Joshua consistently produces pieces that are way out there.  I mean out of left, who would wear that, wait…didn’t he copy that from one of the other designers, the only good thing I can say is that he didn’t bedazzle anything this time around, who is his target demographic anyway, is he flirting with Adam Lambert in front of the judges, field.  I just don’t get it.  I am very upset right now.  Though I should be happy my comic relief is still around I am not.  I am very sad for Anthony Ryan who I seem to remember pulled a few good pieces out over his time on the show.

OK.  Now to happier news.  Anya.  I think I’m in love with her.  She is so amazing.  To make an incredible outfit out of $11.50 that wins the competition is pretty spectacular.  Did you see the detail work on the back of her muslin shirt?  Incredible.  If I thought my boobies would stay put I would totally wear that shirt.  I would wear either outfit.  She nailed it.  Out of the ballpark.  Home run.  (What’s going on with all the baseball analogies today?)  Now, in the preview for next week Victor makes a comment about her sewing skills so she may have a rough go of it.  Or Victor could just be being his negative, stodgy self and everything comes up roses in the end.  I can’t wait to see.

Two people are surprising me.  Victor because he seems to be getting meaner and meaner as the series progresses and Bert because every once in a while if the challenge is right his playful side comes out and it’s incredibly refreshing.  Maybe I’ll pin my comic relief hopes on Bert from now on since I’m so mad at Joshua for sticking around.  Bert is a dirty little devil and it’s cracking me up.  He’s so cantankerous all the time that when he lightens up it really brings a smile to my face.  Keep it up Bert.  Let your light shine.

I hear your girl power but I am not feeling Goldilocks.  Laura just doesn’t speak to me at all.  And what about this pact they made with each other and then promptly went running away with their tails tucked between their legs.  And guess what?  Kimberly did just fine.  She wasn’t in the top but she most certainly wasn’t in the bottom.  Have a little faith.  I like Kimberly and I think she has a smokin’ style.

I am still really mad.  I thought this would be some kind of therapy for me but it didn’t work.  I want Joshua to go home next week.  Then Bert.  Then Victor.  Then three girl finalists.  But if I had to be realistic I’d say Victor was going to the final.  Sorry but he’s pretty solid.

Is anyone as angry as me?  Or do you think the judges made the right choice?

Project Runway is on Thursdays at 8pm on Lifetime.  It’s available at myLifetime.com  the day after for those of us without cable.

How sad was that at the beginning when Allison was expressing doubt in herself?  Just struggling to fit in and find her place in the house.  Allison is absolutely my favorite.  I love her personality.  I love her look.  I love her sense of style.  I just love her and to have her uncomfortable in any way makes me sad and makes me want to go to her and tell her just how spectacular she is and that she has nothing to worry about.

And oh boy did she have nothing to worry about!  Top photo!  Yay Allison.  Did you see the sheer look of shock on her face when they called her?  She completely deserved it though.  I love how humble she is and at the same time really hope she gets more confidence so she can keep pulling off amazing photos.

I know I will show how truly out of touch I am but who the crap is Kristin Cavallari?  One of the girls said she was on The Hills which I don’t watch but at least I know what it is.  But why should I trust her fashion sense?  You probably know her and trust her but she is a big fat nobody to me.  But I bet all these girls have MTV and are thrilled that she’s there.  Have I just illustrated how out of touch I am?

Oh Lisa.  I love you and you are my second favorite this season but what were you doing during the interviews with Mario Lopez for Extra?  High fives.  ”Oh yeahs.” LIke you’re playing a football game.  The only thing we were missing is chest bumps.  ”You nailed that question, B!!  Oh yeah, bring it in.  Gooooooo Top Models.”  Now thankfully she didn’t take it that far but seriously?  I think it’s clear that she lost the challenge for her team by not taking it seriously enough.  Now we learned from Dominique that you can take it too seriously but come on now.  Class it up a little every once in a while.  Then again, she is following her brand so how can I criticize?

Winning team is safe from elimination and the 6 girls on the losing team will be the only ones judged at panel.  Scary.

How about that photo shoot.  One of my favs in Top Model history.  I couldn’t believe the girls going all out and falling over just to do something daring.  Almost all of the shots were amazing.  Allison and Lisa being my top picks.  I think that would have been so much fun to do.

I’m sad to see Isis go home.  I’m really intrigued by her and he transformation and change and I really would have liked to have seen what else she could have brought this season.  It’s sad to know that she didn’t have the worst picture of the night and only because the other girls had immunity is she going home.  Stupid Lisa.  I love her but I think she really blew this one for her team.

There were some really great shots this week. Which was your favorite?

ANTM is on Wednesday at 8pm on The CW.

ps  This was literally one of my fav photo shoots so I couldn’t just pick one photo.  So awesome.

How much fun was that?  I loved the idea of dressing a band and a throw back band to boot.  Updated 70s rock stars.  I can get behind that even though I have no affinity for the 70s or 70s rock.  I still think it would be an awesome challenge.

I’m sorry but I don’t think they should have kicked Olivier out.  That kid is good tv.  He is so reclusive and caught up in his own head that he says the most bizarre, insensitive, hilarious things.  They should have kept him around for sheer comic relief.  Remember when he covered his ears when the band started playing?  And I mean how many times did he call Ewan big?  Honestly, if I wasn’t watching on the internet I would go back and get a 2 liter of Hawaiian Punch (sugar wise that’s the hard stuff) and play a drinking game with it.  One shot for the word big.  A double shot for the phrase plus size.  I’d be buzzed all afternoon.  I will dearly, dearly miss Olivier.

Oh man, how bad do you feel for Sam the drummer?  He got screwed over.  He never should have said Caftan.  He ruined both girls and his day by going there.  A baseball/bowling shirt from one and Pocahontas from the other.

And poor Ewan.  Maybe Bert’s outfit was well put together but can you really see Ewan wearing it?  Garbage from Olivier and a purple get up from Bert.  Not cool.  But in their defense he was bigger than the mannequin and we all know how hard it is to design for a plus size man (there’s three shots on me).

Now I see what you guys are talking about.  Anya’s sewing skills showed this week big time.  Her pants weren’t too bad. Right?  Except for the fact that they were splitting down the seams.  The design was there at least.  The top…she should have thrown it away and had him walk out bare chested.  That’s the only way to have saved that monstrosity.

Every week I am amazed at Victor.  He is super solid.

I know he’s super ridiculous and truth be told I don’t listen to his music but I love Adam Lambert.  He cracks me up.

Now the reason Olivier was my fav is because of his personality so I need a new fav and I think I’m going to have to pick Joshua who likes to bedazzle everything.  I think he’s the one to bring the comic relief now.  Anya for her style and Joshua for his sometimes diva like personality are my current favs.

I can’t wait for next week.  Anya uses only muslin?  This will be a true test.

Which was your favorite outfit this week?

Project Runway is on Thursdays at 8pm on Lifetime.  It’s available at myLifetime.com  the day after for those of us without cable.

For a makeover week this was pretty boring.  Hardly any of the girls hair changed at all.  Only one person cried and  threatened to leave the show (Bre) and she even calmed down pretty quick.  I want hell and damnation around here and all I got was crying and stalking off to the bathroom.  I mean honestly, Lisa got chopped but she was pretty cool about after the initial shock.  Alexandria was practically having an orgasm over her cut.  ”I have never cried so much because I was happy.”  And Bre didn’t even overturn a table or have an hour long cry in the confessions booth.  Poo.  Everyone else looked like they got a trim.  Nothing special.

The best makeover of the night was Nigel.  I honestly always wondered what he’d look like with hair and I can’t say I like it.  I am shocked that he had a full head though.  Who knew?

What do you think about these words the girls were given?  I love the idea of branding.  If I was half way serious about this blog I would think about branding and really focusing up but this is just for fun to soothe the tv junkie inside of me.  I will say Kayla (who they only turned back to red) had the hardest time with her word.  She wants to be the spokesmodel for LGBT but the guy said to her, “That’s so five years ago.”  Being a lesbian isn’t enough anymore.  Wow.  That is a bold statement but I guess what he’s saying is we already know you’re a lesbian and we’re totally ok with that.  Now what do you have to offer?  The branding he gave her was “free.”

Bianca was given “candid” and I think she let it get to her head.  Maybe that’s what they want though.  They want these girls to eat, sleep and breathe these words and then exemplify them in everything they do, say, wear, eat…  You know, I think I’d just like to be myself.  Which truth be told, Lisa can.  Right?  ”Daring.”  Yeah, I think she can do that.

I don’t know about you but I was a little grossed out by the photo shoot.  Those girls had hot dog fixing dripping all over their bodies.  Hot fudge.  Whip cream.  Yes.  Green chili’s and onions.  No.  Not working for me.  They got some cute shots of some of the girls but I am amazed at the level these girls are supposedly at that we’re not getting stunning photo after stunning photo.  I want every single photo from every single girl to be breathtaking.  These are mostly just blah.  Ho hum.  Boring.  I’m already waiting with bated breath until we whittle down the competition.  Get rid of half of these chicks and then we’ll see something fierce.

I’m not even going to touch the new Tyra-isms.  Get over yourself!  Ty-overs.  Please.

As you may have guessed I could care less that Sheena went home.  I really hope this gets better.  I had really high hopes because these girls are supposed to be professionals and so far I have been let down.  But the good stuffs to come right?

ANTM is on Wednesdays at 8pm on The CW.

If I never see this show again I feel like I am fulfilled.  To hear Olivier wish that all women had no boobs so that his job could be easier was phenomenal.  Not, I wish she wasn’t so curvy, but no boobs.  Flat.  Like a boy.  Oh poor Olivier.  Does’t it seem like he lives in a little bubble where he can only tolerate so much outside influence?  Like when Joshua came in and tried to take his hand to feel how fast Joshua’s heart was racing and Olivier cringed.  I am totally drawn to Olivier because he’s dark and he’s mysterious but I can’t help but feeling it’s a little hard to be Olivier.  Like he just gets stuck in his depressed little head.

I have to say I thought every designer did a great job.  All of the women were ecstatic with their looks.  They all felt like they got what they asked for.  Now, I agree that some of the dresses were hideous.  Just down right ugly, but again, the women were head over heels for them so to me, they all passed.

That being said, I agree with Michael Kors that the job of the designer is to push the client.  To stretch their limits and open their eyes to new things. There, we had some failure.  I’m mostly thinking the bottom three.  The designers didn’t inflect any fashion forward thinking into their designs.  You like pink?  Then I’ll make a pink dress.  You lost a dress?  Let me remake it for you without any thought to design or the fact that I’m in a competition.  Major design fail.

Do you know who I got a total kick out of watching?   Bert!  Who was he?  He was a completely different person this week.  Animated and smiling.  Joking around.  Just all around a happy guy.  I hope we see that again next week.  So refreshing.  Made me actually want to give his dress a chance.  Normally he’s such a curmudgeon that I completely dismiss him.

I am so in love with this show that I will put up with the hassle of watching it online.  I couldn’t get it to work at all on Friday and then of course I have family responsibilities over the weekend so this morning was my first shot at watching it.  Well worth the wait.  I am in love with Project Runway.

I don’t even feel like I have to ask if you’re happy with Bryce going home.  He’s been blah from the beginning so it was really only a matter of time.

I know you guys have said Anya has no sewing experience so she’s going to fall apart but I have complete faith in her.  She’s doing amazing things with amazing fabrics and she has me sold.  But you guys have seen more seasons than me so I trust you if you think she’s a weak link.  Then Olivier would be my fav after Anya.

How is this season stacking up compared to the past?  Exciting? Boring?  Not nearly as good as Season ___.

Project Runway is on Thursdays at 8pm on Lifetime.  I watch it at myLifetime.com  the day after (or as soon as I can get it to work).

What a great start to the season.  I’m always skeptical of All Star shows but more often than not I end up loving them.  Talk about Type A personalities.  This season is going to be more cut throat than ever.

I was bothered that all of the models seem to have the same bone structure except for Allison.  They all look exactly the same to me which isn’t how normal seasons go.  Normally I feel there are softer girls mixed in with the chiseled ones but they’re all chiseled this season.

Allison is my fav but after her I’m excited to see what Isis is going to do this season.

I see many, many cat fights in our future.  I see drama galore.  These girls know they’re the $#!%.  They all have modeling careers so they are out for blood and I can’t wait to see what they’re dishing out.  Photo shoots had better be off the hook this season since the talent has experience.  Last night was a little disappointing.

And please, Shannon.  If the bikini is smaller than the underwear, wear the underwear.  Hyprocrite.  I kind of understand where she’s coming from but I hope she looks back at this and realizes how ridiculous she sounds.  Girl, please!

What do you think?  Is this going to be the best season yet?

ANTM is on Wednesday at 8pm MT on The CW

I just started watching Project Runway last week and I’m wondering, “What took me so long?!!?”  Actually, the drawback was watching it online.  I do a lot of things online, spend a lot of time but watching shows was a literal TV thing to do.  I watched some show a while back online (see it didn’t even matter enough for me to remember it) and I hated it.   Truth be told, usually I’m surfing the web while I’m watching my actual TV.  Killing two birds with one stone so I just couldn’t make myself do it.

Then last week I just woke up and watched it.  Just out of the blue and I am so head over heels in love with this show.  I’m a newbie so I’m sure I don’t get the importance of everything going on but I am a Project Runway believer.

Like last night (for me this morning) getting those students to paint for the designers and then having the designers interpret the painting into their outfits.  Absolutely amazing.  Some of them were stunning to me like Anya’s feather outfit and others I just shook my head at.

Anthony Ryan’s brush stroke dress was truly inspired.  I could see how Kenneth Cole felt it wasn’t finished very well but really thought the execution of the idea was flawless.

I don’t understand how Heidi Klum could have found anything redeeming in Bert’s suit.  I know retro comes in and out but that screamed 80s to me and not in a throwback, look how cute it is to wear this again, kind of way.  In a bad, completely out of touch with what’s happening in the real world around you kind a way.  I really disliked it.  One of them said it looked like a Teletubby would wear it and I completely agree.  And Michael Kohr’s said it looked like he was washing the floor and then just stuck the sponge on his suit.  Total fail for me.

Oh Joshua C.  I don’t even really know what to say.  I saw what he saw, with the open rib cage and the vulnerability, but I completely understand why none of the judges saw it.  It really did look like a cocktail waitress’ get up.  I think Joshua is so cute and sweet and wonderful but I don’t feel like he put forth his best work  in these two tries that he’s gotten.

OK.  Who is my fav?  Anya.  Hands down, every week.  I love her style and ambition and her cute accent doesn’t hurt either.  And according to myLifetime.com she’s ahead on the polls too.   This is my first time going through this show so I’m as giddy as a schoolgirl.  I cannot believe I waited so long to watch this.

I you haven’t watched it either you can check out episodes of this Season (S9) and catch up here.  I found episodes 2-6 really easily and I’m sure if you dug around you could find one.  But it’s reality TV.  If you miss an episode here and there they’ll recap it for you at the beginning of the next.

I feel like I could talk about this for days but I’m going to cut off here.  Who was your fav this week?

Project Runway is on Thurs at 8pm on Lifetime.

Well, I don’t know when I’ve been so excited about the finale of a Reality Game Show since Boston Rob won Survivor.  Jennifer vs. Christian.  You knew they were going to pit those two against each other and it was just as wonderful as I expected it would be.  I’m impressed that Christian didn’t throw a major fit.  I’m trying to remember.  Did they even interview him after?  If they did he was majorly tame because I don’t even remember it.  Christian loses to Jennifer…neiner, neiner, neiner.

Well, now that that bit of childishness is out of me.  Jennifer nailed it last night.  Qail.  Risky business that.  But she did it.  Perfect scallops.  Ramsey couldn’t shut up about how well they were seared.

As long as Jennifer beat out Christian I honestly didn’t care who won.  Until Jennifer won and then I was so excited for her.  Her little nephew was there to cheer her on.  Not to beat a dead horse but Jennifer winning drives the nail in the coffin that she is better than Christian.  OK, so maybe a little more childishness.

I love Adrien and he definitely deserved to be in he finals.  I love his fresh twists on Mexican cooking.  I would have loved to try those taquitos.  According to Twitter, Ben Starr gave Adrien his new do.  Maybe he should have kept his “lucky” hair until it was over?

I could not be happier that they both bombed their desserts.  Then they were on even footing.  If one had gotten it right it would have pushed them farther ahead.

This is my first season of MasterChef and I completely and thoroughly enjoyed it.  My hats off to the three judges.  Until next season…

This is what I have waited all season to see!!  Smarty pants little Suzy against arrogant, self professed cooking genius Christian.  I have to say, you guys know I have a love to hate them relationship (well, TV relationship) with these guys.  I am so happy they made it so far in the show because they add drama and laugh out loud humor with their complete lack of reality.  I said it before, I don’t want either of them to win but I want them to make it to the finals so they liven things up a bit.  Done and done.

Poor Suzy.  The “pastry girl” loses to a guy who has never made a lemon meringue pie before in his life.  The thing I love to hate about Suzy is she is so stinking positive about herself.  The judges can give her an awful critique but if they throw her a bone, the tiniest, most insignificant little bone she grabs onto it and holds it up as a light to guide her life by.  Something like, “They liked the duck so we’ve got this.”  When the judges bagged on everything else they did.  I honest to goodness whish I was that positive about my own life.  How much more fun and happy would I be if I only believed in myself a fraction of what Suzy does of herself.

Christian.  He’s a jerk.  I don’t know how he treats people in real life so I can’t say he’s a jerk to everyone but in this competition he’s a bonafide stuck up, big fat hairy jerk.  And I love him for it.  I pretty much always love the bad guy.  Again, don’t want him to win but I’ve gotten my wish and he’s made it to the finals.  I cannot wait for tomorrows show if he loses.  I can taste the bile in my mouth right now that he will feel when he gets sent packing.  It will be glorious.  Do you think he’ll throw a temper tantrum?  ”F@#$ this!!!!  They don’t F#@$ing know what they’re talking about.  This is F$%^ing stupid!!!!!”  I want someone to send me five bucks if I just quoted him verbatim.  I don’t think my tirade is long enough though.

So there is a huge chance Christian can win.  My money is on Adrien or Jennifer.  Adrien being my top pick but Jennifer has also won a ton of stuff and she does have that stunning smile that may sway the judges.  Whoever wins, this is going to be a tense, nail biting experience.  I can’t wait!

Who’s your pick to go home first?  And then, who’s your pick to win it all?

The MasterChef finale is on Tonight, Tuesday at 7pm on FOX.

Does that seem like a lame title to you?  I mean, compare it to American Idol or America’s Top Model.  Favorite Dancer just doesn’t have that zip and pow and wow factor.  I trust that the producers and all of the creative minds behind the show put some real time and effort into the title so if that’s the best they came up with I guess I’m OK with that.  Even America’s Top Dancer would be cool but I guess that infringes on ANTM.  America’s Dancing Queen or King???   Maybe on the lame side.  Dated.  I’m not saying I have any great ideas, I’m just saying I wish they would have come up with something with more pizazz.

I was in heaven last night.  That is what I call a finale.  Besides this last one Sasha did with Marc (which I realize was just a day ago) they showcased ALL of my favorite dances.  One right after the other.  I might even watch the whole show again it was so spectacular.  I skipped all the dialogue so it was just one terrific, moving dance right to the next.  This was an amazing season and they wrapped it up beautifully.

And I’m going to sound like a broken record but Sonya Tayeh’s opening number was super fantastic.  Dark and quirky and everything I love.

Of course Melanie was going to win.  And of course Sasha and Melanie were going to be the last two standing.  I don’t like it very much when the show is so predictable.  I like a little mystery.   A little up and down but Melanie was just up.  Even when she slipped it didn’t matter in the least.  She was the Golden Girl.

I’m really sad the season is over but like I said I think I’ll keep this finale on Tivo and just watch it periodically.  That was a bang up show last night.  I’d throw both my shoes on the stage if I was in the audience.  Not for Melanie winning but the the totally awesome, completely radical, buccitude that was last nights show.

What do you think?  Are you happy Melanie won?

OK.  You know I dislike ballroom/latin…Did you know that I like it when elite ballroom/latin dancers dance it?  I do.  I just don’t like it when these non ballroom/latin dancers try it.  It looks awkward and gangly and out of step to me.  So it’s not that I don’t like the genre.  I just don’t like it on this show.  Except for when Pasha is involved.  Then I love it.

So I feel the same way about disco.  Every time they do it on this show I cringe.  I think it looks completely ridiculous and I cannot believe it when the judges rave about it.  Sure I’m glad disco is still around but leave it to professionals people.  They don’t have ballet on the show because, I assume, it’s way too technical. So don’t have disco on the show.  You need way more practice than 7 hours to pull it off.  This is of course my humble opinion.  By all means feel free to disagree.  I double dog dare you to leave a comment and knock me down a peg or two.  :)

Sonya Tayeh I could kiss you.  This dance with Sasha embodies my life.  I am bipolar and fight with my disease on a daily basis.  I saw Sasha push Mark away and he would just come back.  Oh my gosh, I’m crying while I’m writing this.  (I love this freaking show!!!!!)  He just kept coming back but she never gave up.  She kept pushing and pushing even though he was destroying her.  At the end when she throws him to the ground I thought, you know what.  I’m going to do that.  Maybe not today, but one day I will throw my demons to the ground and never look back.  Sonya Tayah + Sasha + Mark = Pure genius.  That was written for me, right now.  I needed that.

Lil’C you rock my world.  I can’t get enough of you!!!  Hustle Hard for reals.  Mega bucc.

Ray Leeper with Melanie and Tadd was just pure enjoyment.  I’m sure he already had the idea but how timely for Tadd’s keep your shirt off campaign to come into light on the same show.  Gotta love those editors.  So happy that Tadd picked something that highlighted his amazing skills once more.

So I loved Stacey Tookey’s 50′s housewives dance but something about it bothered me.  I didn’t like that every time one of them tried to escape the other one pulled them back into their picket fence prison.  I would have had more sympathy for them if an invisible hand pulled them back in.  Symbolizing society?  I guess it was hard for me to get into the 50′s mindset where what society says rules to the point that I would keep my best friend from becoming something more.  I’m not saying that didn’t happen, I’m saying it’s hard for me to wrap my mind around.  Otherwise, I believed their misery and their companionship.

Gumboot Stepping.  I don’t know.  It was cute.  But I like hard hitting, powerful, knock your socks off stuff so this wasn’t really for me.  I think if I’d seen Nigel’s group from Africa I would feel differently.

Not the finale I wanted.  There were some low notes and I don’t want to see low notes in a finale.  I want bangs and whistles and I want to cry and laugh and hate society but I only liked most of what I saw.  Not loved it and wanted to swim around in it for days and days.  Except of course the Sonya Tayeh routine.  I watched that over and over.

I absolutely think Nigel is right.  A girl is going to win.

Here’s my top four from fav to least (though I still love the least).  Tadd, Sasha, Marko, Melanie.  I’ve never said it before but every time they interview Melanie she comes across as snotty to me.  Like she knows she’s that good and is trying not to show it.  That’s just me though.  I don’t personally know her.  Just judging the poor girl on how she acts in front of the camera.

Now, who do I think is going to win?  Melanie.   Hands down.   For sure.  I’m never right though.  I always pick wrong but that my best guess.

I am dying to know who you think is going to win?

The SYTYCD finale is on Tonight, Thursday at at 7pm on FOX.

I’m so very, very sad but like I said yesterday, I was worried about Ben being able to win.  I didn’t want to see him go out like this though.  I totally, 100% believe him when he says he can cook venison perfectly.  How sad to make a mistake in a setting like this on something you know so well.  Ben, I will miss you.  You have got to be the sweetest, kindest, most loving and caring person in the world.

I will say that the top four really isn’t a surprise.  They have pretty much been the ones to beat the whole time.

Do you get the feeling that the judges are saying overly mean things to Christian because they think he’s a total A?  That’s what it feels like to me.  Joe said to Christian, “If you could put the kind of bravado that spews from your mouth into your plate I think you could be a top contender.”   Oh please, please Ramsay and Joe give me more of that!!  (Graham is too nice to lay into him.)

Here’s some Christian quotes from last night.  ”I think they expect great things out of me because I’m great.”  ”I think it says a lot.  I’m still here.  I’m still the best chef ever.”  Christian is not lacking in confidence.  Now only the really good ones are left he’s got a great chance of going home and I cannot wait for that moment.  I hope the judges lay into him like there’s no tomorrow and then kick his sorry trash out.  Oh, it’ll be good.

Another quote I have for you is from Graham.  He was introducing Ramsay as the Chef to imitate and said, ”…the man who put the F in food.”  Oh Joe’s face was priceless when Graham said this.  I swear he rolled his eyes.  I wonder what those guys really think of each other off camera.  Does Joe think Ramsay is really good but mostly full of it or was that just brilliant editing?

Again, I’m so sad that Ben is gone.  He was a ray of brilliant sunshine on the show.  If I ever get out to Texas I’ll have to look him up.  I follow him on Twitter so I’ll be waiting to see what happens next for him.  Oh, and did you see Ramsay kiss him?  That’s a sure sign what a wonderful person he is.

Do you feel like it’s a tease to have the show on two days in a row?  Doesn’t it leave you wanting more, right now?  It does me.

MasterChef is on Monday at 8pm MT on FOX.

I’m surprised there wasn’t more yelling during the fist challenge of the night.  I mean Ramsey didn’t shut the kitchen down.  No one was crying.  What was the point of that?  Really, I’m kidding.  It’s been obvious to me from the beginning that Ramsey has a soft heart when it comes to this show.  I mean I think I’ve only heard the “F” word a handful of times.

I can’t imagine what it would bel like working in a busy upscale kitchen cooking tricky, time sensitive food.  When I cook I’ve got my music blasting and I’m all by myself in wonderful solitude cooking food that I’m going to enjoy eating.  I would never make it on this show.  Never.  Ever.  In a million years.  I just don’t have the experience.  These home chefs amaze me week after week.  I mean, who makes souffles?  I make cake from a mix or cookies.  That’s it for me.

I don’t think I have witnessed anything funnier on this show than Suzy having an orgasm while Ramsey cleaned and portioned the fish.  That was awesome.  Suzy’s reaction I mean.  Ramsey did a great job too but she was squirming and gasping.  ”Oh wow.”    She’s been one of my favorites from the beginning because she’s got a mouth on her and says the most ludicrous things.  This topped them all.  She can win it now for all I care.

Well, I do care and I still really like Ben Starr but he lost it last night.  Total floundering.  He seemed to get it back together and they did win but I’m really wondering what his chances are of winning.

My favorite comment of the night, besides “Oh wow.” is also from Suzy. ”This fish literally gave it’s life for this pressure test.And for it to go out in such a manner is just, it’s a travesty.”  It’s nice to know she cares.

Sad to see Tracy go.  She’s been a solid front runner.  Just goes to show how hard that pressure test was.  I cried like a baby when they gave her a scholarship to their MasterChef culinary classes.  Wow.  That was a very kind gesture to know her individual needs and fill them.  MasterChef made me cry.

Do you believe Ramsey when he says things like, “This is difficult to let one of you go”?  Or do you think he thinks something like, “Good riddance.  Get the hell out of my kitchen”.

MasterChef is on Tonight, Tuesday at 8pm on FOX.

Before I get into last night I just want to say I overlooked one of my favorite routines because I had to blog so quick.  Twitch + Nappy Tabs + whatever that Dungeons Dragon song was + Little Red Riding Hood = a match made in heaven.  I absolutely loved it.

Melanie and Marko.  Well, duh.  Of course they are going to be the first ones called.

You may hate me for saying this but Bad Boys of Dance?  Give me break.  When I hear bad boy I want b-boy.  I want hit hop.  I want hard hitting not a bunch of poser ballet dancers.  I probably would have liked the routine had it not been for their name.  That’s how fickle I am.

Sasha.  No brainer.  Caitlyn is awesome but not in the same league.

Tadd?!!!!!  Now that is a pleasant surprise.  I wan’t sure he had a shot at that.  You have no idea how happy this makes me.  I don’t think he even has a hairs breath chance of winning but I am thrilled that he made it to the finals!!!!!  So happy!  My favorite dancer.

I can’t wait until next Wednesday.  I predict that the show is going to blow our minds.

Are you happy with the results?

SYTYCD is on Wednesday at 7pm MT on FOX.

I have two minutes so this will be short but hell yeah.  Sonya Tayeh plus Florence & The Machine.  I’ll watch it every day of the week.  Oh and Caitlin and Marko were pretty awesome too.

Lil’C.  I love him.  I wish he was on every week.  The way he proliferates gets my heart racing.  Definitely going to check him out on Twitter.

Christina Applegate.  Never knew she was a dancer but so glad she was on this week.  I will watch anything she is in.  Remember Samantha Who? I rewatch it on Netflix.  Yeah I do.

Chandelier routine. Not my fav but in all honesty because it was Sonya Tayeh I still liked it a lot.  I’m prejudiced in a good way.

Wall routine.  Amazing.

Whacking?  I didn’t even like it when Princess Lockaroo did it but I would much rather watch her than the routine last night.

And it’s confirmed.  I only like ballroom when Pasha is involved.  I’m glad he’s been on every week.  Spicy, hot.

Who do I think is going home?  Tadd and Caitlin.  Do I want Tadd to go home?  Absolutely not but I think Marko has a chance of winning (slim) and Ricky just seems to have more fans.

Who do you think is going home tonight?

SYTYCD is on Tonight, Thursday at 7pm MT on FOX.

I knew it would be a double elimination.  I watch enough reality TV to know the signs and Tivo gave it away.  I looked up next weeks show and it said “Top 6 Compete.”  Not 7, but 6.

I am so happy Ben Starr didn’t go home last night.  Phew.  I was super tense when Ramsey actually made a face of disgust after tasting his soup.  I thought for sure he was a goner until I saw who he was up against and then I was 100% certain he was safe.  I like it when I’m right.

What about Suzy making a comeback?  Two top dishes in one night.  I’m impressed.  She’s still cocky but she’s turned down the volume a bit so it’s so much easier to like her now.

Christian.  I have been waiting and waiting for him to get his comeuppance.  I thought it was a flat out elimination Monday but I’ll settle for Ramsey’s dressingdown last night.  Do I think he’s going to change?  Never.  I don’t think anything could change Christian’s attitude.

All in all an exciting night.  I’m sure you have a favorite by now.  Who is it?  Mine is Ben Starr.

MasterChef is on Monday at 8pm MT on FOX.

My jaw was on the floor.  I was on the verge of hysterical giggles when I thought Christian was going home.  And then Ramsey sent him upstairs too?! I couldn’t believe it.  I thought we were finally going to get rid of that arrogant SOB.  And you know, it’s so funny that I feel that way because I normally like the villain.  Boston Rob, Russell to name a few.  I love arrogant SOBs.  So why don’t I like Christian?  Maybe because he has literally ostracized every single person on the show including the judges.  At least my other villains had their groupies that adored them. Christian has no one.  On the show at least.  I can’t speak for his real life or his fans.

And who puts mustard and pickles on a kids sandwich?  I polled my kids and they all agree that the chicken sandwich would have been their choice.  And I mean by a long shot it would have been their choice.

I 100% agree with Jennifer that if you had mixed onions in with the burger not a single kid would have noticed.  Cheese and ketchup and you would have a strong runner in the competition.  The sweet side probably would have taken blue team to the top if they would have changed the burger.

I have never had a corn fritter so I don’t even have any idea how that changes the game.

I am in awe that all four of the contestants nailed the souffle.  Wow.  I am seriously impressed.

I’m mad that nobody went home.  It stresses me out when shows do a double elimination.  Honestly, it freaks me out the whole episode.  I really thought this was the shot to get Christian.  I’m super bummed.

I just want to say again how much I love the three judges.  They’re perfect.  I love their interaction and glares as they work with the contestants.  I think they are my favorite part of the show.

So, next week it looks like Christian gets told off.  I can’t wait to see.  Any guesses who might go home?

MasterChef is on Tonight, Tuesday at 8pm MT on FOX.

Oh man, six left.  This show is going to be over so soon and I am so sad about that.  I am also sad that Jess and Jordan went home.  I don’t agree with that decision at all.  If I chose it would have been Ricky and Caitlin that went home but I don’t vote so I can’t really complain.

I love Jordan.  She dances like I wish I could dance.  I see a lot of myself in her dancing so I will really miss her.

Jess.  He was just plain awesome.  Really at pretty much everything he did he was awesome.  I just remember him blowing my mind the first hip hop number he did.  I thought he was going to fail miserably but he was just spectacular.

Above all I am so thrilled that Tadd is still around.

I was talking to a friend today and really it’s going to be Marko, Melanie and Sasha in the end right?  I don’t see how it could be any other way.

I loved the group dance performance choreographed by Christopher Scott.  I’m going to have to check out their show (The League of Extraordinary Dancers) because this was dope.  Mega dope.

Lady Gaga was fun but didn’t blow me away.

I’m sad that Jordan is gone and sad that Tadd is probably going soon also.  Those two are by far my top two if it was my choice.  What do you think?  Are you happy with last night’s decision?

SYTYCD is on Wednesday at 7pm MT on FOX.

Sonya Tayeh blows my mind. I could really just end this post there. She blows my mind every time. I was crying at the first routine, practically jumping out of my seat at the second. Oh man, I just wish I was Sonya Tayeh and that amount of creativity came out of me. I am in love.

My favorite guy is for sure, by far Tad.  I love everything that he does.  I think Marko is pretty gosh darn amazing too.  If I had to guess I’d guess Marko goes further than Tad because he seems to be the fan favorite but I’m on Team Tad all the way.

I really like Jordan for the girls.  I know she’s the total underdog but her leg extensions are too die for.  Of course Melanie and Sasha are going to fight it out for the final but I think my heart goes with Jordan.

That being said, Melanie and Sasha are freaking amazing.  Their final routine tonight made me want to jump around and punch something.  I’m not sure that was the desired effect but I loved it.

I felt so bad for the choreographers last night.  I felt like Lady GaGa was picking on them.  She kept praising the dancers and criticizing the choreographers.  Nappy Tab, I love you and I loved your props.  I really liked having Lady GaGa on the show other than that.  I liked her perspective.  I had never heard about throwing your shoe at the stage.  Who knew?

So, who’s going home tonight?
