I'm Back! My little ol' opinion on tonight's SYTYCD

| | 0 comments »
So here's my take on tonight's show. (It's a little over 100 words tonight. Don't give me shit about that, alright?!)

First, let's talk about the obvious observation. I mean, really. It is SO obvious that Cat is drinking heavy doses of growth hormones. She has clearly grown 7" in one week, 6 1/2' in her legs alone. C'mon .. don't act like you didn't notice. Too bad because her outfit tonight was full of FAIL. Oh well, on to the show.

The show opened with a Ryan and Kathryn disco number. The routine was great. I couldn't take my eyes off Ryan's shirt and not in a good way. Fashion FAIL.  Hideous. In other news, I agree with Mary, Kathyn is peaking at the right time.

Next up Jakob and Mollie did a Viennese waltz. No, the next line is NOT 'zzzzzzzzzzzz'. The next line is GORGEOUS. Seriously... gorgeous lighting, gorgeous music, gorgeous costumes. Lotta gorgeous!

In my favorite number of the night, Legacy/Ellenore did a Travis Wall number. (no, that is not a typo. I said 'favorite' and 'Legacy' in the same sentence.) FAN-FREAKING-TASTIC. Hot Hot HAWT HAWTNESS. Beautiful choreography, but smokin' hot chemistry. Seriously good stuff Travis!

Russell, in my opinion, got a double screw tonight. His partner got hurt and he had to dance a really crappy Shane Sparks number with an equally crappy assistant. He tried to make it work, he did a respectable job with what he got. But what he got = shit.

Next up was a Ryan and Kathryn ChaCha. I don't know about you, but I felt a little like a peeping tom watching. I mean, seriously, their chemistry registered on the Richter scale. It was raawwwrrrrrrr..... still a little hot over it now.

Jakob and Mollie danced a Broadway number that was spot on. I really really really have not liked Mollie all season. I wasn't even a fan of her making the Top 20. But I have to eat my words AGAIN this week. She continues to surprise. Of course, Jakob as always = perfection.

And in my least favorite moment of the night, Legacy & Ellenore did a freaking WEIRD number. I did not get it. I did not like it. Sorry NappyTabs. The costumes looked like gigantic condoms, the choreography was haphazard (that is being nice), and the concept .. well .. sucked.

To close the show, Russell did a Bollywood number. I thought he did REALLY well, but I think the judges' praise was a bit effusive. 

My prediction: I think Ashleigh and Russell will be up on the blocks. I don't want those results, but that's what I think it will be. Unless Ashleigh gets the sympathy vote, I think she will get lost in the shuffle. I definitely don't think Russell deserves it, but he got screwed left and right and I think votes will reflect that.

As always, it's all just my OPINION. Thanks for stopping by!

A Few Things that are MORE important than Tiger Woods' Story

| | 0 comments »
The story of Tiger Woods first broke 5 days ago. On the surface, it is a strange story. I tweeted about it, talked with family about it, read about it online. I was curious. I still am. I admire Tiger.

But seriously. What the hell has happened to the media in this country? With very little thought or research, I can name many more important stories.

  1. Today is World AIDS Day. Which is more important: 33 million people worldwide with HIV/AIDS or did Tiger have a fight with his wife?
  2. Today, our President announces an additional 30,000+ troops will be sent to Afghanistan. Which is more important: two costly wars being fought in places where al-Qaeda is NOT or whether Tiger had an affair?
  3. The Salahis say they didn't 'crash' the White House State Dinner. (another MSM Fail story, IMO). Who gives a shit about the Salahis? The only thing that matters in this story is HOW they passed through security undetected. Even so, at least THIS story has brought attention to the dangers our President is exposed to every day. Which is more important: identifying the people/processes that failed to protect the President (and many many other important individuals) or will Tiger lose his endorsements?
  4. There is, of course, the standard (read: boring to MSM) newsworthy current events: health care reform, the economy, the other war in Iraq, etc. But you just HAVE to know if Tiger's wife swung the club AT him or FOR him. Sigh.
Folks like this sports writer at Washington Post seem to imply that because he is famous and rich he should not be allowed to keep his story private.  Seriously?

Move on. Really. It's time.
