SYTYCD Recap: Kisses, Buckness, and other Silly Things

Well, this latest installment was exhausting AND full of sexual harassment. What has gotten into these people? There were wanton kisses and buckness sightings–a real circus. We’d like to never see Nigel and Mary making out again. No, not ever. That was awful. Aside from all the tongue swabbing, there’s a lot of dancing to discuss.

Let’s get to it. Continue reading

SYTYCD Results Show Recap: I Wanna Live Forever!

Well, we knew it was coming. The dreaded double elimination. It just seems like yesterday the kids made it to the show from Vegas week. And now for four of them it will all be over; off to relative obscurity for you. It’s kind of like what happens, uh, well, when you win the show. So maybe it won’t be so bad! Obscurity can be awesome, right? Well, no. But at least drinking Gatorade can return to being a private experience again.

So who will we lose tonight?

SYTYCD Recap: A Little Birdy Named Debbie

We’d like to think that there’s no “Wayward Home for Abandoned Dancers” but if there ever had to be one, it quite possibly may be the Hollywood home of a movie icon. There at the WHFAD you’d receive three square meals, tutoring in a private ballroom, and stretch limo chauffeur service with your own personal driver, among other activities. Be sure to read the fine print, kids. Don’t you want to sponsor an Abandoned Dancer today? Call 1-800-REAL-LIFE-HANSEL-GRETEL

Wadi and five others are on the phone lines now. Please call.

SYTYCD Results Show Recap: Stayin’ Alive

It’s time for our first week of eliminations. Which performances weren’t quite up to snuff? This is going to be a hard decision since this year’s crop of dancers are some of the best we’ve seen. And this week, while some of the performances were a bit lukewarm, the talent of the dancers undoubtedly showed underneath.

We can already tell this season’s results shows will be painful. So let’s get started shall we? Bring the pain.

SYTYCD Recap: Sexy Beasts and the Guys they Danced With

I’m thinking perhaps Nigel has been reading too much Stephenie Meyer. Why all the fascination with “beasts,” Nigel? Last night this was his go-to word to describe any and all female dancers performing. We get the impression that if these ladies don’t appear on stage growling and clawing at the moon, Nigel will be sorely disappointed. Those of us who were less concerned with dancing lycanthropy were excited for the return of one of the best competition shows on television.

Let’s dance, let’s shout, and shake our bodies down to the ground.

Game of Thrones Recap: Honor Thy Family

So it has come to this. Decisions will be made. Do you honor thy family, or do you complete your duty to the realm? These are the questions that haunt the men and women of Westeros and the outlying areas. There is much at stake, and one false move will topple all the pieces set in motion, and there is no going back. So what do you do?

Who is it that you are really living for? Continue reading

Game of Thrones Recap: Just A Little War, Silly

Remember how we left last week with all kinds of double crosses and betrayals happening… yes, well, that basically means that every Stark associate in residence at King’s Landing is fit for the killing, and we begin with exactly that. There is all kinds of bloody mayhem, and as Arya and Sansa go about their day oblivious to the murder amongst them, we are indeed fearful for their very lives. We watch as all is serene until Holy Slicing Ginsu! Stab, stab, stake, slash, kill, kill, dead, dead. Oh, yes, King’s Landing is no place for a Stark.

Glee — ZOMG New York!!!, or Times Square is The Worst


This episode was torture, pure torture. The very idea of rewatching this episode so that I can write this recap made my heart cry. In a fit of procrastination, I tried to think of things I would rather do than watch this episode again and I came up with the following: 1. I’d rather watch a sex tape starring my grandparents; 2. I’d rather eat horse testicle soup; 3. I’d rather drink the water in Mexico; 4. I’d rather get lost in Chicago’s South Side in the daytime wearing heels, without my CTA card and cell phone; and 5. I’d rather get crabs. Continue reading
