It's been a couple of weeks. Last time, Brad and Darrell were thrown out for fighting. Susie and Kim are in the Ruins, let's find out who wins...
THE RUINS
Susie and Kim are still doing "ragdoll". It's raining. They trying to pull the rope out of each other's hands. They are bloody and look like they are in pain. Susie FINALLY gets it away from Kim. SUSIE WINS.
Next up is Bananas and Dunbar. They are so rough. Bananas finally pulls it away from Dunbar. BANANAS WINS. Yikes, Challengers are: KA, Sarah and Casey.
Kenny tells us that when he looks at his team, he sees 2 guys and a girl who he's won a challenge with before. And when he looks at the Challengers, he sees "a lying slut, a goth chick and ... Casey."
KA thinks she'll beat Susie in the Ruins so she wants to go in next time.
Back at the house...Kenny and Evan keep terrorizing Sarah. Sarah still has a thing for Kenny, but he's NOT interested. So he totally makes fun of her and disrespects her and she just says she knows he's joking. Well, I suppose under these circumstances, it's best to just hold your head high and ignore it rather than fly into a drunken rage like all the others.
Bananas is trying to sabotage Susie. He claims that she threw all these missions in the last Challenge game and that she doesn't care about this Ruins. Susie and Bananas are arguing and Susie is denying any betrayals - past or present - and reminds Bananas that she made it to the end before!
Bananas is stirring the pot and telling Evan and Derrick that Susie has done NOTHING to show she wants to be there and that she's played this way before. WTF? That's bullshit. Susie has totally been a team player...that's why she's still there! HELLO? Bananas is desperate. He's the one who's expendable on that team. Bananas says that Susie has to go. Evan tells us that their only chance is to throw the next challenge so that KA can take Susie out in the Ruins. Seriously??? Now you guys are listening to BANANAS??? C'mon Derrick. Don't get sucked in.
Susie interviews that she feels that the game has gotten really shady. She says "If you can't beat a team of girls, then you have more problems than just me being on your team." She has a point. However, the real issue is whether SUSIE can beat the team of girls. Because if Susie doesn't make it to the finish line, the other team wins.
Kenny keeps making fun of Sarah. He tells Sarah that she looks like "Martha Dumptruck" in her outfit. HAHA. The teasing is starting to get to Sarah. Susie goes to talk to Sarah. Susie tells us that Sarah's feelings are getting hurt because the teasing is mean, but that Sarah loves Kenny so much, she's willing to tolerate the abuse. Awful. Kenny sucks. Sarah is crying to Susie and Susie is trying to build up her confidence. Evan comes out to the pool and gives Sarah a flower. It's a nice gesture and he interviews that Sarah loves the attention, but now that she's upset, he feels bad because they never wanted to hurt her feelings. I think Kenny and Evan are just super immature. I think they like to push and push until people reach their breaking points and THEN they say they didn't mean it. Evan tells Sarah that they all really love her and don't mean to hurt her.
Susie wants to know why Bananas is now shit-talking her. She tells us that Bananas is all about "the team, the team, the team" until...it negatively affects him and then it becomes all about him. She asks Evan what the problem is and that she's not going to keep doing the right thing if she's going to get screwed. Then Evan says if they fight fire with fire, Susie and Bananas will BOTH look stupid. Susie says "Yeah, but I look stupid with $40,000". Evan interviews: "In a final challenge, it's about your weakest link. I think it's fair to say that Susie would be our slowest player. And how much do we need her here for that? It's a money thing, it's a greed thing, it's a sexist thing, it's a mean thing." Well, he's right. It's a game. But it totally sucks. I really like Susie.
Bananas is still on his "Get Rid of Susie" campaign. He tells Evan "She's not a team player at all. She's in it for Susie. Bananas says that Susie is slow and that KA and Sarah are quick. He says it comes down to "You're only as good as your slowest player. She's f-ing slow." WHAT is Bananas talking about?? She's there BEST female player. That's why she's still there. She's gone into The Ruins 3 times and won every time. Bananas tells us that he's worried about having Susie around at the end and he doesn't want her around. He says that she can't assist other people and she can't pull her own weight. Whatever. Bananas is a d-bag. Evan interviews "Johnny wants to throw the challenge. He wants to throw the challenge, allow the other team to put in KA and take out Susie."
Kenny is still terrorizing Sarah. Now he's wearing her swim cap and teases "who wears a swim cap?" Um, SWIMMERS do, Kenny. If you are a REAL swimmer, then you wear a swim cap. What a meathead. Sarah answers "I don't know...anyone who swims competitively!" Absolutely. Dumbass. He teases that she's not Michael Phelps and Sarah fights back. Sarah: "Why is it so difficult for you not to be a jackass? I hope your mother watches this and knows what a fucking asshole you are to girls. Does she raise you to treat women like this?" Kenny interviews "Hold on sweetheart. You're not prepared to play this game. So you should chill out, take a step back and realize who you're playing with." Kenny walks out calling Sarah a "slut". She hit him where it hurt...his mother. Guy's got issues.
Sarah and Susie are talking about the challenge. Susie tells Sarah that Bananas wants the guys to throw the challenge so KA can take Susie out in The Ruins. Susie interviews that she's not sure what's going to happen but she doesn't want to go up again KA in The Ruins. Susie says "KA isn't a human, she's a fembot and could clearly beat me 'cuz I'm a mortal." ha.
THE CHALLENGE
No nominations because it's obvious. No guy Ruins and it's Susie against any of the three Challengers.
The Game: "Wall Walker". There are two walkways extended out at the top of a 20 story building. They are connected by a slanted ramp and there are 3 vases with a rose in each of them on the top of the ramp. Each player will run up the ramp grab a rose from each vase (if they can) and put it in the vase at the end of their team's runway. Challengers have to pick two people to go twice since there are 5 people on the other team. Evan says that it'll be Sarah and KA because Evan says "We all know Casey doesn't climb, walk, chew gum or fart at the same time." Ha. The team with the most flowers in their vase wins.
Casey is crying to Evan that she doesn't like this stuff because she's scared of heights. Sarah is first. The ramp is really steep. Sarah gets all three flowers in the vase. KA goes next and she gets three flowers. Sarah is up again and she gets 3 more. Evan interviews that these girls are making it look easy and doing awesome and that Champions might lose this. Dumb. KA goes next and slips off the ramp, so 0 flowers. Now, it's Casey's turn...and she sucks. She crawls halfway up and then comes down and gives up. They ask what she's doing and Casey cries "I'm taking this (the helmet) off, what does it look like?" TJ says that it looks like she's having a temper tantrum and tells her she's disqualified. Challengers = 9 roses.
Now, the Champions. Derrick says that in order to throw the challenge, three of the guys need to screw up and it's not him. Derrick gets 3 flowers. Bananas is up next and he says that they just need to get less than 9 flowers. He gets all three flowers and put them in his mouth. Then as he's coming down, they "fall" out of his mouth. He says if you drop a few flowers, it looks like an accident and people feel embarrassed for you. Susie is annoyed. But now she's up and she gets 3 more flowers for her team. Kenny doesn't think it's worth it to throw the challenge so he gets 3 flowers for the team. They will at least be tied. Evan is next and he...doesn't throw the challenge. Champions = 12 roses. Champions win!! Kenny and Evan's egos outweigh any "alliance" they have with Bananas. Heh. Evan says that he promised Susie he wouldn't throw the challenge. He asks "Why do we have to screw over the girl at the very end?" That's what they did to Paula Walnuts. I'm glad he's learned SOMETHING. I just hope Susie pulls it off during the final challenge.
TJ tells the Champions, since Susie is the only girl, she gets to choose her opponent in The Ruins. Susie says that she's not much of a gambler, so she's picking Casey. Bananas says this is the second challenge where Susie basically slacks off the whole time and gets her way in the end. WHAT is he talking about??? Seriously! She's done well the whole time, she's kicked ass in The Ruins. Why is he such a d-bag? He should have told the guys that he likes Susie but that it doesn't make sense to have her at the end because Sarah and KA are strong. The way he went about it was ALL WRONG. He tried to bash her to get the guys to side with him and they just saw it as mean. If he had explained his reasoning behind getting Susie kicked out and throwing the challenge, the guys might have sided with him.
The Champion boys are talking and Bananas says the problem with these guys is they only think about short term gain. Bananas tells the guys that it's not the guys against KA & Sarah, it's Susie against KA and Sarah. See? He should have used this tactic BEFORE the challenge. Kenny says that they will be doing most of the work and dragging her across the finish line. Kenny tells us that he's just as worried about Bananas as he is about Susie because he can't have Bananas flipping out and screaming at Susie the whole time.
Susie is venting to Sarah. She asks Sarah "If you were Bananas and you thought I was the biggest loser ever, wouldn't you keep it to yourself until the very end?" Sarah agrees and says yes, especially since Susie is on his team. Susie doesn't understand what kind of strategy he's employing to totally insult someone who could help him win $30K.
THE RUINS
The game: "Muay Thai". There's a row of 17 bamboo poles on each side. They have to kick and break each one of the bamboo poles and ring the gong as fast as possible. What? That's the most ridiculous Ruins ever. Anyone could do this. Casey tells us she actually has a shot. Susie says that she has a lot of money to lose so she has to win. Plus, if she loses to Casey, she "might as well curl up in the fetal position and die." Casey is feeling confident because this is a challenge she could potentially win.
Ready...GO! Susie easily walks down the path kicking and breaking each bamboo pole. She walks up and hits the gong while Casey is still in the middle of the path. SUSIE WINS!
The guys are talking and Evan says they have to pump Susie up because they are relying on her to win the final challenge. Evan says: "We got an ex fat kid (Kenny - wow, that explains A LOT!), a father (derrick), an asshole (Bananas), a Canadian (Evan) and a married lady (What? Susie is married?) versus a Fembot and a poet." I love Evan sometimes. He's funny. Evan tells the guys to put the bullshit aside and go get some cash!
See you next week for the finale!!

The Hills, Season 5, Episode 520 SEASON FINALE
Last time on The Hills: JB went to Vegas to meet up with Kristin and Sponge Bob ("Spender" just wasn't doin' it for me) got suspicious.
Kristin's House, Malibu. Kristin tells BS that she doesn't want to move out of the beach house. BS says that JB should really be helping Kristin move. Kristin asks where JB is supposed to put the boxes: "on his motorcycle?" Good point. BS asks Kristin what she's going to do about JB. Kristin says that Vegas was perfect, but vacation is never the same as reality and she's been hurt too many times before. BS is still rooting for JB - I don't know why. I guess she's "that friend" who encourages you to date the loser because it makes her feel better about her own choices. I'm just guessing...I mean, why else would you encourage your friend to date JB? At least Audrina's friends were honest and repeatedly told her to dump his ass. Kristin isn't sure what to do.
OPENING CREDITS
"The Boys of Summer"
Speidi's House, Hollywood. Brody and Sponge Bob are shooting hoops outside. Sponge Bob: "There's a chance that I might be Pratt Daddy for real." HA! Pratt Daddy!! He tells Brody about Heidi's latest shenanigans and the pregnancy test he found and that Heidi might be trapping him. Brody appropriately asks "aren't these the types of things you are supposed to discuss in a marriage?" Yes, Brody, they are. But Speidi is on another planet and does not understand such rational behavior. Sponge Bob says that Heidi told him she wanted a baby and that's that. Brody says "that's not a discussion" and Sponge Bob says it's a "sperm kidnapping". Wow. I feel like I'm watching a scene from "Dumb and Dumber".
Brody tells Sponge Bob that Jayde is trying to move their relationship to the next level. Sponge Bob tells Brody that it starts with moving in, then you're engaged, then you're married and then Jayde's pregnant. Hmmm. Well, maybe not exactly in that order, but yes, Sponge Bob, that's the general idea. But people usually wait until they are ready for marriage and babies to actually get married. Sponge Bob says that he bets this time next year Brody will be engaged and Jayde will be talking about babies. Brody lays down the law. He says that if Jayde starts pressuring him to do anything he's not ready to do, he'll dump her ass. Sponge Bob says "we'll see" and Brody tells him to shut up. I don't know. Seeing Brody's track record with Jayde, I'd put my money on Sponge Bob right now and y'all know I do NOT like to take his side on anything!
Catherine Malandrino, Los Angeles. Audrina and Lo are shopping. Audrina tells Lo that she called JB because during their last conversation she was too stunned and overwhelmed to say anything. Um, he dumped you. Why would you call him? Lo knows what I'm talking about. She tells Audrina that it's over so she doesn't need to worry about it. EXACTLY. Audrina insists that she feels like she needs to meet him one last time. Why? So he can make you feel smaller and even less significant? Whatever.
Kristin's House, Malibu. JB and Kristin are hanging out on the beach and chatting. She tells him that she's going to miss her place and can't believe she's moving. JB tells her that she can come stay at his place while she's looking for a place to live. Ew. I imagine JB lives in a gross, dirty apartment with old pizza boxes and trash all over. JB tells Kristin that it's hard to find that person who is compatible with you and he has that feeling with Kristin. She tells JB that part of her wants to be with him but she thinks they should just cool it for awhile. She doesn't want a boyfriend. LIAR!! I think it's SO funny when girls use reverse psychology to get a guy to commit. I can't tell you how many times I've heard a girl say "I don't want a boyfriend" when they are dating some guy but then they constantly act like a jealous girlfriend. Girls are ridiculous sometimes. JB calls her out on her bullshit. He tells her that he's heard the same tune from her before. He hasn't flaked on her ... lately and he went to Vegas to meet her, so Kristin just needs to figure it out. With that, JB walks away.
Speidi's House. Enzo and Sponge Bob are playing Mario Kart (?) and Heidi walks in with groceries. Good Lord. She is totally dressed up. She's got a white blouse that her boobs are practically falling out of, she's wearing heels, she has a full face of make-up, her hair is totally flat-ironed and she has a purse almost as big as a suitcase....all that JUST to go grocery shopping?? Really?? The people at Safeway are lucky I put on jeans. Most of the time, I seriously consider going in my pjs. Heidi = Too Much Work. Sponge Bob asks Heidi if she stopped at the pharmacy to get "anything". Heidi says that she didn't need anything from the pharmacy. She asks him if there's a reason he's asking her this and Enzo asks if they are fighting. Heidi asks Enzo if it sounds like they are fighting and Enzo says yes. Then Heidi tells Sponge Bob if he has something to ask her then he needs to just ask her. I can't stop seeing a Blonde Cher when I look at Heidi with her hair all long and straight and with all that make up. She looks like she's wearing a wig.
Taylor's Engagement Party, Malibu. Brody's friend, Taylor, is having an engagement party and Jayde and Brody are there. Brody toasts Taylor and says that he's gone from "Sleazy-T" to "Taylor" tonight. Abbey - Taylor's fiance - and Jayde are talking and Jayde says that if Abbey and Taylor are engaged then she and Brody should at least be living together. Abbey says that maybe the engagement will light a fire under his ass. I doubt it. Why are you stirring the pot, Abbey? Meanwhile, Brody, Taylor and Frankie are all talking and Frankie says that maybe it's time for Brody to follow in Taylor's footsteps and get engaged. Brody tells Frankie not to be "retarded". I really hate it when people use that word. Brody says that he's 100% not ready to get married...not in his 20's. I think Brody is smart. He should enjoy his 20's and date different girls and really figure out who he is. Then, in his 30's, he can find the right girl and get married.
Kristin's Place. Kristin tells BS that she told JB they are DUN-ZO. BS is STUNNED. Kristin says that she's really scared of getting hurt. That's why she hasn't had a boyfriend in TWO YEARS. Kristin blames her fear on her parents being divorced. I'd say Kristin has been reading too many
"children of divorce" books, but who am I kidding? She doesn't read. Kristin says she never wants to get a divorce and that's why she can't get close to guys. She's afraid they will screw her over. BS says that when it's a good person, it'll just work. She's so wise.
Engagement Party. Brody toasts the happy couple and wishes them a happy life together. Taylor and Abbey kiss and Jayde can hardly control her envy. And...the envy is uncontrolled. She tells Brody that's it crazy how Taylor and Abbey have only been dating for two months and they are already engaged and she and Brody have been together for 1 year and a half and they are... Brody says "We're smart." I agree with Brody. I'm sure that there are couples out there who only knew each other for two months before getting married and they've been happily married for years and years. But, the odds aren't good ... particularly for a guy who - before tonight - was known as "Sleazy T". Jayde won't let it go and says she's not saying they should get engaged, but they should do SOMETHING. Oh, Jayde...this is so not the time and place for this conversation. Brody says it's a little scary that they JUST got back together and they are already talking about moving in together. Jayde totally goes in the wrong direction and says "You're the one who screwed up and I've forgiven you. Like, you should be happy that I'm even talking to you about this right now." WTF? Who is this girl? Really? Brody, just dump her ass and move on.
Brody tells Jayde that this isn't the time/place to be talking about moving in together. Agreed. AWKWARD. (Is that spelled right? It looks wrong to me. Weird.)
Some Pier in LA. Audrina meets JB. This is not going to end well for her. She tells JB that she's not there to fight with him. It's just that the last time they talked he said a bunch of things. JB tells Audrina that he never meant to hurt her. Audrina says that she doesn't think she can be friends with JB. He doesn't react, so she tells him that she feels like this is the last conversation they will have. JB says "Then it's the last conversation we have. If you want to be young about it, then be young about it. You gotta remember, you're the one who said 'get out of my life'." Audrina: "You didn't get out of my life." JB: "I definitely tried." Ouch. Audrina is hurt and angry and yells "You're so selfish. You're selfish. You're self-centered. All you care about is yourself." JB says that she never looks at herself. Maybe she just wasn't the one. Then he says that he didn't want to hurt her. Audrina says that he did hurt her for all those years. JB says they wouldn't see eachother for 4-5 months at a time and then see eachother ONCE. Audrina says that's not true and that he keeps going around telling people they were never together. JB: "We weren't, Audrina." OUCH. That had to sting.
Audrina tells JB, if he's going to be incapable of loving somebody, it's like he's missing out on life. He's going to be a lonely old man. This is so painful to watch. He's not incapable of loving SOMEBODY, he just didn't love you, Audrina. That sucks for her, but it's true. It's a harsh reality and it's hard to believe that the guy who didn't love you just didn't love YOU, but he may love someone else. Audrina tells him that she hopes that he does love somebody because then he may actually feel something. Oh Audrina, just stop. You are embarrassing yourself. Seriously, just walk away. With that, Audrina wishes him the best and walks away. FINALLY. Now, Audrina, did that make you feel BETTER? I hope so because it made you look worse.
Speidi's House. Sponge Bob calls Heidi to the living room to "talk". They sit and Sponge Bob tells her that he found a pregnancy test in the trash. Sponge Bob asks if she's pregnant and Heidi says that she was hoping she was but Sponge Bob's wishes came true and she's not. Sponge Bob asks how their marriage got to this point. Heidi says that Sponge Bob said that he never wanted kids and shot it down. Sponge Bob says that he had always said he would NEVER get married and here he is married. So saying he never wants kids doesn't have much "juice". He tells Heidi that they will have a baby when they're ready to have a baby. Heidi says "That's a big thing to hear. That's a big change." Sponge Bob tells Heidi that he needs to be whatever his wife is about and that he's right there with her. This should have been the conversation in the very beginning. Why do these people need all the drama and power trips to get to this point??
Brody's Condo, Hollywood. Brody is talking to Frankie and Taylor and he tells them that he's been thinking a lot about himself and Jayde and that her pressuring him to move in together at Taylor's engagement party was the last straw. He's done with Jayde. Frankie hi-fives Brody and Taylor says it's for the best. Yikes...seriously, this is all going to backfire when Brody gets back together with Jayde. See, Brody is feeling cocky right now because Kristin was giving him some attention while he and Jayde were on a break and she and JB were on a break. So now Brody is feeling like he has options and he's ready to throw Jayde to the curb. But as soon as Kristin moves on with JB, Brody will be out of options and go crawling back to Jayde. Frankie and Taylor are recapping Brody's past relationships and then Brody drops the bomb: He may still have feelings for Kristin. Taylor thinks that's good because he thinks Kristin is good for Brody.
Kristin's Place. Kristin is packing and JB comes over. JB says he's been riding around thinking about him and Kristin. Kristin suggests they sit outside and talk. JB tells Kristin that he didn't like the feeling he had when he left her place last time and for some reason, he can't let this go. He tells Kristin that Audrina told him that he was going to end up a lonely old man if he doesn't go after what he believes in and he believes in this so here he is. JB tells Kristin that he wants to have fun with her, do things with her, and laugh with her. Kristin agrees but she wants to know how she can trust him. JB says that all he can give her is his word. Kristin says that in order for them to work they need to give it 100%...no lying, complete honesty and really try. They agree to give it a shot and kiss. Then Kristin asks if he's her boyfriend and JB says "That's a stacked question" and kisses her more. BUT DOESN'T ANSWER THE QUESTION!!!
THE END.
Kristin's House, Malibu. Kristin tells BS that she doesn't want to move out of the beach house. BS says that JB should really be helping Kristin move. Kristin asks where JB is supposed to put the boxes: "on his motorcycle?" Good point. BS asks Kristin what she's going to do about JB. Kristin says that Vegas was perfect, but vacation is never the same as reality and she's been hurt too many times before. BS is still rooting for JB - I don't know why. I guess she's "that friend" who encourages you to date the loser because it makes her feel better about her own choices. I'm just guessing...I mean, why else would you encourage your friend to date JB? At least Audrina's friends were honest and repeatedly told her to dump his ass. Kristin isn't sure what to do.

Some Pier in LA. Audrina meets JB. This is not going to end well for her. She tells JB that she's not there to fight with him. It's just that the last time they talked he said a bunch of things. JB tells Audrina that he never meant to hurt her. Audrina says that she doesn't think she can be friends with JB. He doesn't react, so she tells him that she feels like this is the last conversation they will have. JB says "Then it's the last conversation we have. If you want to be young about it, then be young about it. You gotta remember, you're the one who said 'get out of my life'." Audrina: "You didn't get out of my life." JB: "I definitely tried." Ouch. Audrina is hurt and angry and yells "You're so selfish. You're selfish. You're self-centered. All you care about is yourself." JB says that she never looks at herself. Maybe she just wasn't the one. Then he says that he didn't want to hurt her. Audrina says that he did hurt her for all those years. JB says they wouldn't see eachother for 4-5 months at a time and then see eachother ONCE. Audrina says that's not true and that he keeps going around telling people they were never together. JB: "We weren't, Audrina." OUCH. That had to sting.
Audrina tells JB, if he's going to be incapable of loving somebody, it's like he's missing out on life. He's going to be a lonely old man. This is so painful to watch. He's not incapable of loving SOMEBODY, he just didn't love you, Audrina. That sucks for her, but it's true. It's a harsh reality and it's hard to believe that the guy who didn't love you just didn't love YOU, but he may love someone else. Audrina tells him that she hopes that he does love somebody because then he may actually feel something. Oh Audrina, just stop. You are embarrassing yourself. Seriously, just walk away. With that, Audrina wishes him the best and walks away. FINALLY. Now, Audrina, did that make you feel BETTER? I hope so because it made you look worse.
Speidi's House. Sponge Bob calls Heidi to the living room to "talk". They sit and Sponge Bob tells her that he found a pregnancy test in the trash. Sponge Bob asks if she's pregnant and Heidi says that she was hoping she was but Sponge Bob's wishes came true and she's not. Sponge Bob asks how their marriage got to this point. Heidi says that Sponge Bob said that he never wanted kids and shot it down. Sponge Bob says that he had always said he would NEVER get married and here he is married. So saying he never wants kids doesn't have much "juice". He tells Heidi that they will have a baby when they're ready to have a baby. Heidi says "That's a big thing to hear. That's a big change." Sponge Bob tells Heidi that he needs to be whatever his wife is about and that he's right there with her. This should have been the conversation in the very beginning. Why do these people need all the drama and power trips to get to this point??
Brody's Condo, Hollywood. Brody is talking to Frankie and Taylor and he tells them that he's been thinking a lot about himself and Jayde and that her pressuring him to move in together at Taylor's engagement party was the last straw. He's done with Jayde. Frankie hi-fives Brody and Taylor says it's for the best. Yikes...seriously, this is all going to backfire when Brody gets back together with Jayde. See, Brody is feeling cocky right now because Kristin was giving him some attention while he and Jayde were on a break and she and JB were on a break. So now Brody is feeling like he has options and he's ready to throw Jayde to the curb. But as soon as Kristin moves on with JB, Brody will be out of options and go crawling back to Jayde. Frankie and Taylor are recapping Brody's past relationships and then Brody drops the bomb: He may still have feelings for Kristin. Taylor thinks that's good because he thinks Kristin is good for Brody.
Kristin's Place. Kristin is packing and JB comes over. JB says he's been riding around thinking about him and Kristin. Kristin suggests they sit outside and talk. JB tells Kristin that he didn't like the feeling he had when he left her place last time and for some reason, he can't let this go. He tells Kristin that Audrina told him that he was going to end up a lonely old man if he doesn't go after what he believes in and he believes in this so here he is. JB tells Kristin that he wants to have fun with her, do things with her, and laugh with her. Kristin agrees but she wants to know how she can trust him. JB says that all he can give her is his word. Kristin says that in order for them to work they need to give it 100%...no lying, complete honesty and really try. They agree to give it a shot and kiss. Then Kristin asks if he's her boyfriend and JB says "That's a stacked question" and kisses her more. BUT DOESN'T ANSWER THE QUESTION!!!
THE END.
So You Think You Can Dance, 10 to 8
I HATE Comcast right now. My DVR is not working so I missed tonight's results show. Don't even get me started.
BUT, do not fret. I have the results for you. I just don't have a full recap. I apologize.
So, the two people who got kicked off tonight are....
NOELLE and NATHAN.
BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO. I'm sad to see Noelle go. I'm not surprised about Nathan. I think his outpouring of emotion was too little too late.
I'll be back next week with fuller recaps and a NEW DVR!!

So You Think You Can Dance, Top 10 dance
My DVR isn't working very well right now because COMCAST SUCKS! So, I apologize because I missed the beginning of tonight's show.
I assume Cat re-introduced the jidges.
Ryan & Noelle
They are dancing to Give it to me Right by Melanie Fiona. I missed the intro, but the dance just started. Great dance. This is the naughtiest and best I've seen Noelle dance. Great job. It's a Tabitha and Napoleon (!!) routine. Great way to start the night. I loved it. These guys make an awesome couple. Nigel thought that Noelle was sexy this time (I agree) and said that the pair did great. Mary really liked it. Lots of chemistry. Same praise from Adam.
Ashleigh & Legacy
Oh, no intros tonight. They are dancing to a Gary Stewart Contemporary routine. The song is "Poison" by The Prodigy. It was a very angry and violent routine and ended with Legacy doing a headstand. I thought it was cool and they did an excellent job. I didn't LOVE it, but they performed well. Great job. Nigel, Mary and Adam all loved it. They had chemistry and did a great job.
MOLLEE
Mollee was in High School Musical 1, 2, & 3. Wow. Now for her solo. She kills it. SO GOOD. I really like her.
RUSSELL
He grew up in the projects in Boston. But his parents kept him off the street and dancing. Good parents!! So cute. Awesome. He krumped the hell out of that one. That was BUCK!
Kathryn & Nathan
They are doing a Spencer Liff Broadway routine to "Choreography" by Danny Kaye. Nathan is such a ham. Kathryn has such a lovely face. She looks like a young Elizabeth Taylor. They danced beautifully. Nigel loved it, Mary loved it and Adam loved it. It was great. I liked it a lot. It wasn't as technically challenging as others, but it was great.
NOELLE
She's from Sanford, North Carolina and has a big family. She's so pretty. Great solo. She's so cute and sweet. I like her.
Ellenore & Jakob
They are dancing a quick step by Tony Meredith and Melanie Lapatin to "Four Brothers" by Manhattan Transfer. I don't like ballroom, but that was really fanatastic. They did a great job and they were so fast. Very quick. Nigel thought it was great. Mary cackles that they did great. Her voice is really annoying when she gets all high-pitched. Mary loved it. Adam loved it. Great job!!
RYAN
Ryan (Ashleigh's hubby) has dancing in his family. His grandparents met dancing, his parents met dancing and he met Ashleigh dancing. Hmmm. When Nigel said he had to "step up" his solo because he's a ballroom guy, I don't think he meant dancing to "Rock Me Like A Hurricane" by Scorpion. I think he meant that he needed more versatility. His solo is a little boring. He needs to add some tricks. And, he just looks like such a meathead.
KATHRYN
She's from Augusta, Georgia. She moved out to LA from Georgia all by herself. It was a good solo. She and Noelle look so similar. I'd pick Noelle. Kathryn is kind of boring.
Mollee & Russell
They are dancing a lyrical jazz piece choreographed by Mandy Moore and they dance to "It Must've Been Love" by Roxette. It was good, not my favorite, but good. They danced it well. Nigel praises them both for growing so much. He loved it. Oh no. Mary screams that she loves the partnership and continues at volume 10 for the rest of her critique. UGH. Adam loved it.
NATHAN
Nathan is from So. Cal. His brothers all danced and he started at age 10 and got hooked. Good solid solo. He cried in his interview so maybe he gained favor. And now he's crying to Cat saying that he really appreciates his parents. Wow...he's laying it on thick.
Noelle & Ryan (second dance)
They are dancing a JT & Ryan smooth waltz (yawn). They dance to "Jeuz d'eau" from the O Cirque de Soleil soundtrack. It's like I get ADD during the waltzes. I totally spaced out during part of the dance. It was nice and relaxing. They didn't screw up. It was nice, but boring. Nigel liked it, Mary liked it, Adam liked it.
ELLENORE
She's from Santa Cruz. But, she told the family they needed to move to NYC, so they did. They were broke but they made it. Unique solo, but no tricks. It was ok.
Ashleigh & Legacyn (second dance)
They are dancing to a Dave Scott hip hop routine. Their song is "Slow Down" by Bobby Valentino. I already don't like it. Legacy is wearing a cape like dracula nad it's totally distracting and gets in the way. I don't like it. Nigel didn't feel it. He didn't like the choreography. Mary didn't like it. Adam didn't think the dance was challenging enough. Yikes, sorry, Dave Scott.
Kathryn & Nathan (second dance)
Kathryn & Nathan are doing a Tony & Melanie rumba and dance to "Walk on By" by Aretha Franklin. meh. It was a little less boring than the earlier waltz, but it was still boring. Nigel didn't feel the chemistry. I thought the dancing was good and Nigel bags on the choreography again. He says they danced it well for what they were given to do. ouch. Mary didn't feel the chemistry either. Adam says that they did a great job.
LEGACY
He's from Miami and didn't start dancing until he was a teenageer. He and his buddy "flea" went to LA and started b-boxing in Santa Monica. AWESOME solo. I don't now how he does that with his body. Amazing.
Ellenore & Jakob (second dance)
They are doing a Sonya Tayah contemporary piece to "Tore my Heart" by OONA & Dave Tweedie. Excellent. It was a great routine and they did fantastic. Standing ovation. Nigel does a "Mary Scream". Nigel says that everyone needs to come up to their level and that's why he gets annoyed when other dancers don't do as well. He says that they are brilliant and they had a brilliant routine by Sonya. Nigel says that THIS is really his favorite routine of the season. I think it's only because Mia Michaels isn't choreographing this season. Mary screams. I don't know. I think I'm missing something. I mean, it was great, but I can't name other routines that I loved way more from other seasons. None have stood out for me this season and this one isn't even close. Whatever. Mary screams again and loves it. Adam says that this was a big moment for the show because this was such a great routine. What? Really? I don't see it. I'm going to watch it again. Ok, I watched it again and I still wasn't blown away. Maybe it's the music. I feel like I need to have a connection with the routine and the music. This just didn't do it for me. Oh well.
ASHLEIGH
She was born in Utah and started dancing at 12 years old. At 13, she got sick and got a parasitic infection and she couldn't move. She got through it and now dances! I feel bad for these ballroom people with their solos because it isn't as impressive as people who do flips and tricks. It just looks weird because they don't have a partner. It was good.
Mollee & Russell (second dance)
They dance the jive choreographed by Anya and Pasha to "Land of 1000 Dances" by Jimmy Barnes. I feel like there are so many ballroom dances. UGH. Don't they know that people don't like those. If you want to see ballroom, watch Dancing with the Stars!!! That was really fun and a great dance. Nigel praises them for being such great performers and doing such a great job. I agree. I liked it. So much fun. Mary liked it and welcomes Anya (who is now blonde) and Pasha. Mary screams and welcomes Russell and Mollee onto the Hot Tamale Train. SCREAM. UGH. Adam loved it and thought it was fantastic. I agree.
JAKOB
He grew up in a small town in Florida. Jakob has the "Jock dad who is all about sports who ends up with the gay dancing son" family. But, his dad seems to have embraced his gay dancing son. His mom took him to a broadway show in NYC and it was all over. Jakob "the dancer" was born. That was phenomenal. AWESOME solo. He's fantastic.
Hmmm. I don't even know. I think Ryan and Legacy will be on the bottom. Maybe Nathan if no one bought his crying bit. For the girls, I'm not sure. Kathryn and Ashleigh maybe? I don't know. I feel like the girls are stronger.
See you tomorrow.
I assume Cat re-introduced the jidges.

Amazing Race 15 - Episode 11
Four teams remain (because Team USA got lucky!!)...who will be eliminated next?
The teams are in Prague, Czech Republic.
The Blondes are the first to depart at 9:46 P.M.
FIRST CLUE: Teams must make their way to the Spanish Synagogue, the site of the city's Jewish house of prayer where they'll find their next clue.
Blondes easily find it and get the next clue.
NEXT CLUE: Teams must now make their way to the Ekotechnicke Museum where they'll find their next clue.
Blondes take off. Rainbow is next to leave and head to the Spanish Synagogue. Blondes get to the museum and find the next clue.
ROADBLOCK: One team member must enter a room filled with dozens and dozens of telephones and search for the 5 phones that actually have someone else on the other line. When they find the phones, the person will give them one letter in the name FRANZ (as in Franz Kafka). Once they unscramble the letters and figure out that it spells "Franz", they must fill it in on a special form and if correct, they will receive their next clue.
Meghan decides to do the Roadblock for the Blondes. Meghan already has 3 letters "RZF". Globes take off to the synagogue. Meghan gets all the letters and figures out that it's FRANZ. She gets the next clue.
NEXT CLUE: Teams must now make their way to the Kryocentrum where they'll find their next clue.
Rainbow arrives and the Blondes try to find a way to the Kryocentrum. They tell their cabbie NOT to take the Blondes so the Blondes ask the cabbie to call them a taxi. HA! The Blondes should just take the cab. Dan is doing the roadblock and goes into the room with the phones. Dan has 4 of the 5 letters as the Globes arrive. Big Easy is doing the Roadblock. Team USA takes off to the Synagogue.
The Blondes arrive at Kryocentrum and find the next clue.
NEXT CLUE: Teams must now strip down to their underpants and enter a Kryotherapy treatment room that is kept at 180 degrees below 0 Celcius. It's freakin' COLD. If they can endure the cold for 2 minutes, teams will receive their next clue. 2 MINUTES??? That's it?? Easy.
Team USA arrives at their SPEED BUMP.
SPEED BUMP: Team USA must find the M-1 Bar and, using a complicated 3-step process, they will need to prepare a traditional shot of Absinthe. Then they will drink the shot and continue on the race. EASY!
Dan and Big Easy are both trying to figure out the name. They decide to work together to come up with a name. They can't figure out if it's a Czech word or an English word. Think NAMES!!!
The Blondes do their two minutes in the kryotherapy room and get the next clue.
NEXT CLUE: (is it just me or are there a million clues in this episode??) Teams must now make their way to the Charles Bridge - the bridge that connects the old part of the city with the new - and find their next clue.
Big Easy and Dan are still trying to figure out that the letters spell FRANZ. Meanwhile Team USA makes it to the bar and are making the Absynthe. Brian doesn't drink at all so this is challenging for him. Yikes. For someone who doesn't drink, Absynthe is quite the drink to have. They head back to the clue box and head out to the museum. Dan finally gets it right and then refuses to give it to Big Easy. Big Easy calls him out for being a jerk and Dan says that it starts with an "F" and then leaves. Wow. I get it...it's a race, but that's messed up.
Rainbow goes to the Kryocentrum and Big Easy is still having trouble. Team USA gets to the roadblock and Brian is doing it. C'mon Big E!!
The Blondes are at the Charles Bridge and find the next clue.
DETOUR: "Legend" or "Lager". In Legend, teams will delve into Prague lore and Jewish mythology by building a golem, a large figure made of straw and hay. Teams will cover a wooden golem skeleton with wet clay. Then they will transport the large figure across town to a synagogue, the golem's ancient home. If the rabbi is satisfied, the team will receive its next clue. In Lager, teams must "drink in" the local culture and deliver beer to a group of rowdy soccer fans. Teams must carry 30 beers from a brewery, through the town square and deliver them to a bar full of soccer fans. Once they serve all 30 of the beers, the bartender will give them their next clue.
The Blondes choose Legend and take off. Rainbow arrives at the Kryocentrum. They strip down and head into the kryotherapy room. Brian is answering phones. He enters the room with Big Easy. Brian and Big E are struggling. The Blondes start building their golem. Rainbow makes it for 2 minutes and they head out to the Charles Bridge. Brian gets it. DAMMIT. They head out to the Kryocentrum. Globes take the penalty of 4 hours!!! JEEZ. Holy crap. I have a bad feeling about the Globes.
The Blondes take their golem across town. Rainbow arrives at the Charles Bridge and chooses Legend. Team USA arrives at Kryocentrum and they are ready to enter the freezing room. The Blondes are struggling with their golem. Rainbow is having issues with their golem. Meanwhile Team USA made it for 2 minutes and now they are on their way to the Charles Bridge. Cheyne is having issues with the golem. It's really heavy and he's struggling. Rainbow is covering the golem while bickering. Team USA arrives at the bridge and chooses Lager.
The Blondes arrive at the synagogue and the rabbi approves of their golem and gives them their next clue.
PIT STOP: Teams must now make their way to Strelecky Ostrov, the Pit Stop for this leg of the race.
Blondes head to the pit stop. Rainbow bickers their way to the synagogue. Dan wants to go to the synagogue to see where they have to go first and THEN drag the golem there. Team USA finds the brewery and they take the first 15 to the bar.
The Blondes are team #1 and in the finals!! They each won a 52" LCD TV. Cheyne says that they are the best team in the final 3. Unfortunately, he's right. I like them ok, but I'm annoyed that he's so cocky.
Rainbow is still bickering and fighting and whining at each other. Miss USA drops all of her glasses and now she's saying that she wants to do the other task, Legend. She says she's not willing to make it work. Brian tells her to just take 3 glasses. They go ahead and deliver Brian's glasses. First 7 are done. Rainbow is still dragging their golem and fighting in the street. The arm of their golem is totally broken. Team USA takes the next batch and Miss USA is totally giving the Czech people in the city "American Attitude" for trying to take beers off their trays when they are on their way. Rainbow makes it to the rabbi and gets their next clue and head to the next pit stop. Team USA goes again with the next batch of beers.
Rainbow is team #2.
Globes are done with the 4 hours and they head out. Meanwhile, Team USA finishes their task and head to the pit stop. Damn. Sorry, Globes.
Team USA is team #3.
The Globes are eliminated. Bummer. I will continue to recap, but I no longer have an interest in the winner. I guess I like The Blondes the best. Rainbow is annoying and Team USA should have been gone a long time ago.
See you next week.

Big Easy and Dan are still trying to figure out that the letters spell FRANZ. Meanwhile Team USA makes it to the bar and are making the Absynthe. Brian doesn't drink at all so this is challenging for him. Yikes. For someone who doesn't drink, Absynthe is quite the drink to have. They head back to the clue box and head out to the museum. Dan finally gets it right and then refuses to give it to Big Easy. Big Easy calls him out for being a jerk and Dan says that it starts with an "F" and then leaves. Wow. I get it...it's a race, but that's messed up.
Rainbow goes to the Kryocentrum and Big Easy is still having trouble. Team USA gets to the roadblock and Brian is doing it. C'mon Big E!!
The Blondes are at the Charles Bridge and find the next clue.
DETOUR: "Legend" or "Lager". In Legend, teams will delve into Prague lore and Jewish mythology by building a golem, a large figure made of straw and hay. Teams will cover a wooden golem skeleton with wet clay. Then they will transport the large figure across town to a synagogue, the golem's ancient home. If the rabbi is satisfied, the team will receive its next clue. In Lager, teams must "drink in" the local culture and deliver beer to a group of rowdy soccer fans. Teams must carry 30 beers from a brewery, through the town square and deliver them to a bar full of soccer fans. Once they serve all 30 of the beers, the bartender will give them their next clue.
The Blondes choose Legend and take off. Rainbow arrives at the Kryocentrum. They strip down and head into the kryotherapy room. Brian is answering phones. He enters the room with Big Easy. Brian and Big E are struggling. The Blondes start building their golem. Rainbow makes it for 2 minutes and they head out to the Charles Bridge. Brian gets it. DAMMIT. They head out to the Kryocentrum. Globes take the penalty of 4 hours!!! JEEZ. Holy crap. I have a bad feeling about the Globes.
The Blondes take their golem across town. Rainbow arrives at the Charles Bridge and chooses Legend. Team USA arrives at Kryocentrum and they are ready to enter the freezing room. The Blondes are struggling with their golem. Rainbow is having issues with their golem. Meanwhile Team USA made it for 2 minutes and now they are on their way to the Charles Bridge. Cheyne is having issues with the golem. It's really heavy and he's struggling. Rainbow is covering the golem while bickering. Team USA arrives at the bridge and chooses Lager.
The Blondes arrive at the synagogue and the rabbi approves of their golem and gives them their next clue.
PIT STOP: Teams must now make their way to Strelecky Ostrov, the Pit Stop for this leg of the race.
Blondes head to the pit stop. Rainbow bickers their way to the synagogue. Dan wants to go to the synagogue to see where they have to go first and THEN drag the golem there. Team USA finds the brewery and they take the first 15 to the bar.
The Blondes are team #1 and in the finals!! They each won a 52" LCD TV. Cheyne says that they are the best team in the final 3. Unfortunately, he's right. I like them ok, but I'm annoyed that he's so cocky.
Rainbow is still bickering and fighting and whining at each other. Miss USA drops all of her glasses and now she's saying that she wants to do the other task, Legend. She says she's not willing to make it work. Brian tells her to just take 3 glasses. They go ahead and deliver Brian's glasses. First 7 are done. Rainbow is still dragging their golem and fighting in the street. The arm of their golem is totally broken. Team USA takes the next batch and Miss USA is totally giving the Czech people in the city "American Attitude" for trying to take beers off their trays when they are on their way. Rainbow makes it to the rabbi and gets their next clue and head to the next pit stop. Team USA goes again with the next batch of beers.
Rainbow is team #2.
Globes are done with the 4 hours and they head out. Meanwhile, Team USA finishes their task and head to the pit stop. Damn. Sorry, Globes.
Team USA is team #3.
The Globes are eliminated. Bummer. I will continue to recap, but I no longer have an interest in the winner. I guess I like The Blondes the best. Rainbow is annoying and Team USA should have been gone a long time ago.
See you next week.
So You Think You Can Dance, 12 to 10 Results Show
As I said in the prior post, I didn't cheat so I have no idea who gets kicked off tonight's show. My prediction is that Ryan & Ellenore, Victor & Karen and Russell & Noelle will be the bottom three. I think Victor and Karen will go home.
Let's see how I did...
The opening dance is awesome and very "funky Alice in Wonderland". My faves, Tabitha and Napoleon choreographed that one. Nice job!! Where have you guys been!?!?
First two couples:
Jakob & Ashleigh
Victor & Karen
Jakob and Ashleigh are IN THE TOP TEN!!! Victor and Karen will be dancing for their lives.
Next two couples:
Mollee & Nathan
Kathryn & Legacy
Kathryn and Legacy are IN THE TOP TEN!! Mollee and Nathan will be dancing for their lives. They better stay. I think they started off as fan favorites and Nigel totally sabotaged them.
Final two couples:
Ellenore & Ryan
Noelle & Russell
Noelle and Russell are IN THE TOP TEN!! Ryan and Ellenore will be dancing for their lives. Not surprised. I guess America agreed with me regarding their performance.
Paloma Pereirra is a principal from the American Ballet Company and she performs a dance from Don Quixote.
Solo Time:
Karen: boring. not good.
Victor: great.
Mollee: awesome.
Nathan: good. i was expecting more.
Ellenore: good.
Ryan: good.
Based on those performances, Karen should go for the girls. The guys are harder. I'm really not sure.
Shakira is performing and she totally looks like Beyonce. It's creepy. She looks like a short version of Beyonce. Seriously! Does anyone else see this? Weird.
Ok, the judges are back. Girls first. Nigel says that Mollee danced for her life, Ellenore can't improve because she's great and Karen seems to have given up. KAREN GOES HOME!!!!
Boys next. Nigel says that Victor's solo was terrific and he has grown as a dancer, Ryan's solo was just ok, but his couple work has been fantastic, Nathan is a brilliant dancer, but Nigel hasn't seen him grow. Nigel tells Nathan if he got his way, Nathan would be going home. ouch. VICTOR GOES HOME!!!!
See you later this week.

So You Think You Can Dance, Top 12 dance
Two weeks ago, Kevin and Channing went home. BOO...at Channing at least. She was great. Karen should have gone home.
The jidges are back: Adam, Mary & Nigel. Not feeling the nicknames today. This is the last week the couples will be dancing together. Next week, the couples will be mixed up.
Ellenore & Ryan: First Dance (Lindy Hop)
Ellenore says the thing that she'll miss most about Ryan is his perfectionist ways. Ryan says he'll miss Ellenore's ability to make everything fun. This week, they are doing the "Lindy Hop" by choreographer, Carla Heiney. This could be fantastic or it could be a real disaster. I'm hoping for the former.
They are dancing to I've Got To Be A Rug Cutter by the Boilermaker Jazz Band. Uh-oh. Well, it started out super sloppy and got a little better. Ryan was more polished than Ellenore. It just kind of sucked. It was boring. I was expecting more flips and pizzazz, but not so much. I think with this kind of routine, like broadway, the story and the extras (like flips and tricks) need to really be there. Otherwise, it's way boring. Sorry, guys, it's not your week. Um, I think Adam is on crack. He said that it was an "awesome start to the night". WTF? Were we watching the same performance?? Mary liked it, too. Am I crazy??? What is going on? They must love Ryan and Ellenore as dancers and not want to hurt their chances. For a moment, I thought Nigel was going to be the voice of reality. He started with "I thought it was terrible" then finished with "that this is the first time this season we've seen the Lindy Hop." WRONG! I disagree. I thought it was horrible. That being said, I hope their second dance is better and that they make it to the top ten.
Kathryn & Legacy: First Dance (Jazz)
Kathryn is going to miss the presence that Legacy brings to every situation. Legacy is going to miss how much Kathryn has taught him about his technique. They are dancing a jazz routine choreographed by Sonya Tayeh.
They are dancing to So Deep by Hot Chip. Muy caliente! A shirtless Legacy and a teddy-wearing Kathryn really heat up the stage. I thought they danced it really well. I liked it a lot, but I wish the music was more energetic. It was a little too slow for me, but I did enjoy the performance. They showed a lot of skill. Adam loves it. Mary loves it. Nigel loves it and goes a little too far. He says it's his favorite routine of the season. I disagree with that, but I did enjoy this performance.
Karen & Victor: First Dance (Tango)
They are new partners since their former partners, Channing and Kevin, were booted off last week. Karen likes that she can speak Spanish to Victor. They are dancing a tango choreographed by Tony Meredith and Melanie Lapatin.
They dance to Montserrat by the Orquesta del Plata. Hmmm. She wasn't half-naked which is, quite frankly, unexpected for Karen. I thought it was a great tango (even though you all know how I feel about ballroom). They performed it well despite the fact that I want Karen to GO HOME. Adam thought it was fantastic. Did he take happy pills this morning??? Seriously, he likes everyone. Mary liked them, too. Karen is still on the hot tamale train, but Victor is not quite there...although, Mary notes that he's "picking up steam". So dumb. Nigel liked it as well. They all pick on Victor, but don't give Karen any criticism. Dammit.
Mollee & Nathan: First Dance (Hip Hop)
Nathan is going to miss Mollee's laugh. Mollee is going to miss Nathan's random sayings and noises. They are doing a hip hop routine by choreographer Jamal Sims.
They dance to Ring-A-Ling by Black Eyed Peas. I thought that was really great. They danced well and the routine was fun and energetic. I loved it. So fun. Adam is not blown away by them and says that he saw Mollee struggle. WTF? Mary says that it started slow and got better. Are you kidding me?? HELLO??? Ryan almost DROPPED Ellenore and you're picking on these guys??? This is ridiculous. Nigel bags on their performance and says that it wasn't professional. I don't get it. They did really well. I liked it.
Noelle & Russell: First Dance (Samba)
Noelle will miss Russell's laid back personality. Russell will miss Noelle's affection because she's always hugging him. They will be dancing a Samba choreographed by Tony Meredith and Melanie Lapatin.
They dance to Hips Don't Lie by Shakira. Wow. Noelle is wearing the half-naked outfit tonight. I think they did great. I'm not a fan of these ballroom routines, but I liked this one. Maybe it was the song. Great job! Adam thought - despite Noelle's "outfit" - the routine was too "nice" and not sexy enough. I see what he's saying. It was very G-rated. Mary and Nigel agree.
Ashleigh & Jakob: First Dance (Lyrical Jazz)
Ashleigh will miss her friendship with Jakob. Jakob just says he'll miss Ashleigh. They are doing a lyrical jazz routine choreographed by Sonya Tayeh.
They dance to Time Flies by Lykke Li. That was excellent. Just a fantastic routine. Jakob was the true star of that routine. Ashleigh (my other least favorite girl after Karen) actually did a great job. It was a beautiful routine. Adam agrees, yet tells Jakob to never wear those purple pants again. Mary agrees about the beautiful routine and how sad she is to see this partnership split up. They are all impressed with how much Ashleigh has grown. GOOD LORD. Mary is crying. Nigel says that he lied earlier because THIS is Nigel's FAVORITE routine of the season. It was a great routine but I prefer Travis Wall or Tabitha and Napoleon's choreography. Not a huge fan of Sonya. HOWEVER...this was a fantastic routine.
Ellenore & Ryan: Second Dance (Broadway)
They are dancing to a routine choreographed by Spencer Liff. First, the Lindy Hop, now Broadway. Jeez. Sucks to be them. Despite the praise by the jidges, that first routine sucked. I hope this one is better. They dance to Razzle Dazzle by the Chicago original broadway cast. Hmmm. I liked it better than the lindy hop, but it was still a little slow. It was good. Adam raves about it and said that they nailed it. He calls Ellenore a rock star. Um, ok. Whatever. I actually like these two so I hope they stay, but that was not that great.
Kathryn & Legacy: Second Dance (Viennese Waltz)
They are dancing to a routine choreographed by Jean-Marc Genereaux and Franke Mousseau (I always get Jean-Marc and Tony Meredith confused - is that racist? I don't mean to be). They dance to Your Guardian Angel by Red Jumpsuit Apparatus. That was beautiful. It totally flowed. I don't like ballroom, but I think the music helped. It was so great. OMG. Legacy is totally crying. He was so moved by the dance that he's crying because the song was about hope. Drama...although nice strategy. How the hell can anyone be mean when he just cried!? Adam loves it. Mary loves it. Nigel loves it. I thought it looked "effortless" to quote Mary.
Karen & Victor: Second Dance (Hip Hop)
They are dancing to a hip hop routine choreographed by Laurieanne Gibson. They dance to Moving Mountains by Usher. Why does Karen bug me so much? It's like she tries too hard or something. The routine is good but they are not together. Victor is better. It was a cool routine, but it was no Tabitha/Napoleon masterpiece. I didn't love it. I might be biased because I want Karen to get booted. Adam didn't love it, but he thought they danced it great. Mary says that it was just ok. I agree. Nigel agrees and says he didn't feel their chemistry and that they weren't "together". That's what I said. I should be a judge.
Mollee & Nathan: Second Dance (The Can Can)
They are dancing the "can can" choreographed by Tyce Diorio. They dance to Cancan Suite by Offenbach/Ponchielli. AWESOME. That was SO MUCH FUN!! They did a great job. I loved it. Adam thought they did fabulous. Mary makes a "can can" pun. Dumb. She thought it was fantastic. Nigel loved the enthusiasm and energy. WOOT!
Noelle & Russell: Second Dance (Contemporary)
Side note. I think Noelle is so beautiful. She and Russell totally look like they are dating. Russell, not so cute, but I kind of like them as a couple if it's true. Ok, I'm finished. They are dancing a contemporary routine by Tyce Diorio. They dance to A Case of You by Diana Krall. I thought it was a lovely routine and they danced it beautifully. They used paint and the movements flowed. Adam thought it was wonderful. Mary loved it. Nigel thought it was fantastic. I really enjoyed it.
Ashleigh & Jakob: Second Dance (Cha Cha)
They are dancing the cha cha choreographed by Jean-Marc Genereaux and Franke Mousseau. They dance to Cha Cha Heels by Rosabel. Lots of spins. Um, it was good, not great. I love Jakob and Ashleigh did well, too. Adam loved it. Mary raves about Ashleigh. Nigel loves it. I thought they did well, but it was just good.
REALLY??? NO TABITHA AND NAPOLEON???? WTF?
Well, I didn't cheat. So even though the next post is a week late, I have no idea who got booted. My prediction is Karen, but only because I don't like Karen. For the guys, I think Victor or Russell because I like all the others.
The jidges are back: Adam, Mary & Nigel. Not feeling the nicknames today. This is the last week the couples will be dancing together. Next week, the couples will be mixed up.
Ellenore & Ryan: First Dance (Lindy Hop)
Ellenore says the thing that she'll miss most about Ryan is his perfectionist ways. Ryan says he'll miss Ellenore's ability to make everything fun.

Adam thought they did fabulous. Mary makes a "can can" pun. Dumb. She thought it was fantastic. Nigel loved the enthusiasm and energy. WOOT!
Noelle & Russell: Second Dance (Contemporary)
Side note. I think Noelle is so beautiful. She and Russell totally look like they are dating. Russell, not so cute, but I kind of like them as a couple if it's true. Ok, I'm finished. They are dancing a contemporary routine by Tyce Diorio. They dance to A Case of You by Diana Krall. I thought it was a lovely routine and they danced it beautifully.

Well, I didn't cheat. So even though the next post is a week late, I have no idea who got booted. My prediction is Karen, but only because I don't like Karen. For the guys, I think Victor or Russell because I like all the others.
