Aw, that clip made me realize how much I miss Wade Robson as a choreographer on this show.  Do you remember the crash test dummies routine?  That was one of my favorites from him. He was always so delightfully weird.

I agree with this so much.  I often find myself favoring the older dancers because they bring more maturity to their roles.  In Ade's season, I loved him and Melissa (the naughty ballerina) who also seemed to be more mature than their competitors and that took them to the top 6. 

Mariah and Carlos were screwed - they went first, AND they did a relatively lackluster jive.  If they had done their lackluster jive last, I don't think either of them would have been in the bottom three.  With so many dances, the performers who go first in these early episodes are at a clear disadvantage unless they…

Hank saw Wesen in full voge. They have to be really emotional for a regular person to see it.

I thought this was the best episode in a long time, and provided a lot of genuine laughs. Yes, the Morgan and Jeremy stuff was silly but the gag at the end with their talk and Mindy and Danny's reaction made me laugh (possibly because I am an academic who has been to many of those boring conferences). I don't think…

I assume that he couldn't do it because of their shared history.  Even if you know that your best friend since childhood is a monster, it would be difficult to kill him.  That's the reason Monroe didn't kill Miles is the fall finale as well.  I think that is believable.

For me, this show is turning into more of a shout out to The Dark Tower series than the Stand - of course, Randall Flagg from the Stand is also the man in black from The Dark Tower, so perhaps it can be both.  But I sense a mission afoot to find the tower, which is clearly a call back to the Dark Tower series.  You…

So, are we to assume that the Grayson for governor badge was some kind of bug and Padma was killed to frame Nolan?  That's what I got from that scene, but I wasn't 100% certain.   And then, I further assume that The Falcon is somehow behind all of this and was the arm in the car.

If Brooke is not back for the next All Stars round, I'll be pretty surprised.  And I'm pretty sure it will be hers to lose.

Every time I saw Hosea on the screen, I wanted to scream, "IT SHOULD HAVE BEEN CARLA!"

Not only did Big Ceej mess up the pig ears on one dish, but Stefan was conversing with members of the audience at one point.  However it happened, Kristin clearly had the strongest team.  I mean, she had the last three contestants eliminated - how could it not be stronger?

Well, Ilan was part of the group that was trying to get Marcel to shave his head.  Marcel was definitely the villain of that season, but at the same time he was kind of like the geeky kid that all of the cool kids are putting down.

Also, Carla is awesome.

Some of the all stars were clearly chosen just for personality, like the one contestant from season 1 who is really a sommelier now and is out of the restaurant business.

I hope not! I've been enjoying the two of them so much.

FWIW, Sex in theCity on TBS is a sad shadow of the show. Some of the more risqué storylines have been completely cut because there was no way of adjusting it for basic cable.

Carrie used her oven to store sweaters. Which I always thought was funny because I too used my oven for storage when I lived in Manhattan before I moved in with someone who loved to cook.

True - if Amanda had gone to Emily in the first place for the money, none of this would have happened as Conrad wouldnt have been involved.

My favorite outfit, hands down, was the black and white typography outfit. I was so surprised that didn't win. I have to assume that that outfit and the female server outfit really brought that team up as that super short waitress outfit was not appropriate. I think I liked the yoga server outfit from that team better…

Not at all. Certainly Teti is great, but this was an excellent recap, IMHO.
