And, oh yeah, Ellenore totally pulled off the Heelstuck Tango with aplomb. I'm a big fan of hers, and not just because in meatspace, I have the same name, albeit with the traditional spelling. I don't see lots of us around under 70 years old. It was a Bort keyring kind of childhood.

Kerouac9, we were definitely watching the same show. Agreed on all points.

I thought the dancing was excellent, but the routine reminded me WAY too much of Mia's addiction dance last season. Nigel mentioned the similarity but I'd go further and call it a ripoff, if an inadvertent one.

Totally agree about Bianca's shoulders. I felt tense just watching her.

Where is everyone?
Usually I just reply, but I'm going the extra mile today because the room feels a little empty.

I had the same problem during Tyce's and Sonya's numbers. I think the camera angles don't help.

I was never fascinated, but it did induce a sort of paralysis that prevented me from reaching the mute button.

Mellie had just come from the chair for her "diagnostic" when she had that conversation with Ballard. I think Adele had Topher alter Mellie because she had a grudge with the Dollhouse - she wanted all her ties with the Dollhouse severed and she threatened to go public. This was Adele's way of making sure that didn't…

Those were my two favorites, too. Was Ashley even there?

I agree Jeanine's looks helped a lot, but not just because she had the boobies. Her body conveyed what we perceive as her personality - she's curvy with healthy color in her cheeks and has a sort of youthful, happy glow. Kayla is extremely talented but her aesthetic is very pale and chilly.

I had the same exact thought about Kayla and Jason looking all ghoulish and giggly after the "cancerdance". Extremely poor planning! Good thing for them they really hit it in their Shane Sparks routine to make up for it, something no other couple has managed to do this season.

That was Melissa.

But of course, nottheradio! "Huzzah!!" hasn't headlined a serious post since the 1930's interwebs.

And the Honey Nut Cheerios bee! He's saved lives by reducing our collective cholesterol. He's…a HERO! *sniff*

Even though my top four is the same as everyone else's and I'm looking forward to seeing what Jeanine does next, I'm not on the Kayla-hating train. Yeah, I wouldn't want to sit down with her for coffee and conversation, but she has stepped up to every style. I was especially impressed with her performance in Sonya…

Also, what happened to Smokey's old roller coaster sound effect?

I wouldn't call what we're seeing determinism. No one's actions are constrained. It's just that those actions and their effects have already occurred.

Ben definitely looked shocked. But if he didn't know Locke would reanimate, why did he take such care of the corpse? He stowed the coffin in a secure location with his butcher colleague until the trip. Was is just in the interest of recreating the circumstances of the original flight?

Like Cletus, the slackjawed yokellll.

Oops - delete the 'like'. I was going to write "like the others said…" and got waylaid by my own parentheses. Traitors!
