Because, for all the good he's done, he's a narcissist and a horrible person who…. oh yeah, the 6 reasons you should hate him.  Read that.  He's kind of awful.

But she's supposed to be adorable and charming beyond all reason (and sings a song about how that means she should be able to do whatever she wants).

The reason why if you like Rent you are officially a terrible person: The chorus is made up of HOMELESS PEOPLE.  If you watch that show and aren't constantly going, "Um, hey, can I find out more about THOSE people?  The ones with the real problems?" then you have no business in humanity.

ooh, I've got one: Johnny's solo in The Devil Went Down to Georgia.

Oh my.  I never realized that those anagrams were all relevant to Pete's feelings for Penelope.  Including, um, "upright."

I honestly don't think they were camera-faving Chachi for sexy reasons, but rather to shift the tweeners' obsession with the IB to someone else.  If they'd wanted eye-candy, Jaja was both cuter and legal.

It's actually probably a mark in favor of the season that it seems as if literally no one watching this show has the same opinions about the crews' relative quality.  Fanny Pak in particular is inspiring pretty wildly contrasting views.  I honestly have no idea what I'm seeing (or missing) in their performances that…

At least last season had an amazing winning crew.  I thought having such a dominatingly awesome crew actually win put it a level above seasons 4 and 5.

Also, "relative failure" for MosWanted?  They fucked up, badly, on two stunts they staged right in the middle.  IaMmE looked like they were genetically incapable of fucking up.  Odd comparison.

At the time, I thought Massive Monkees were going to take the season.  I didn't "get" Rhythm City until I rewatched the season later.
The big problem was Supreme Soul losing out in Season 2, all because for some reason the producers decided they wanted "bad guys" and so marketed them as some kind of evil…

RNG and Fanny Pak completely killed it.  Everyone else sucked (Electrolytes actually were fine too, but not in the league of the bottom 2).  This was the first time I've been able to get on the RNG bandwagon but everything came together.  8 Flavahz, though…. ugh.  The reviewer might have the benefit of having seem…

Whoa, I see very little connection between IaMmE and RNG.  IaMmE was all about crazy visuals, which hasn't really been the focus of any other ABDC crew, except maybe Jabba or Iconic.

Just rewatched the final three performances, and I have to say, I switched around on Fanny Pak's, because they really owned their challenge: The whole performance was about it, and they did it a bunch of different ways, with, importantly, different emotions for each change: there was the slow hesitant act-y one, the…
