Oh my gosh, also I just remembered that Derrick won mattresses. I did enjoy his "I just won mattresses" face.

The wonderful thing about that lip sync is that it wasn't acrobatic. No dead drops, no backflips, no splits. She was just deep inside that song.

I liked Thorgy's ad. I thought the "straight to the bottle" line worked, because you cut back to Thorgy and she's the one who suddenly has a drink in her hand out of nowhere — it wasn't a joke about Chi Chi, it was about her own character's hypocrisy.

You know what? I've finally softened toward Derrick. I still didn't think he did very well tonight, but I no longer find him grating as a person and in fact kind of like him.

Oh good lord, the judges say her name and they cut to her looking like a god damn hound dog in the rain.

Argh what the hell? All the other episodes were online already by this time, I'm about ready to find a quasi-legal method.

This is posted before watching: is it Thorgy? Does Thorgy go home?

Yeah, Robbie was plainly chosen to protect Derrick from potential elimination. Robbie's look wasn't great, but Chi Chi's was very poor.

He did well, as he usually does when he just does Britney. But it's the opposite of showing there's anything more to him — to me it's more confirmation that this is the one thing he does.

Wait…

I'll chime in agreeing that we need the weekly tea from those viewing parties!

Yes, Betty's by far the more interesting artist, but Naomi won that lip-sync hands down.

I'm a Thorgy fan — she's my favorite this season — but her limits are clear. I'd like to see her in the final three, but final four or five would in no way be shocking. In fact I had assumed she would have been the first of the New York Girls to go — losing Betty so soon really did surprise me.

Yes, it was shady, and it was totally unnecessary. Naomi could have had a chance to show off a talent we haven't yet seen — but there's no way she would seriously be a threat to Bob in this challenge.

Except that he himself is saying "X said Y on Twitter"

Relax. It's going to be the exact opposite of you getting into a big thing.

So, pretty much all testicles then?

What, how did I not know that Tracee Ellis Ross had a new show? Girlfriends was the most underrated sitcom gem of the oughts, she's wonderful!

Are you saying, "That was an effective insult targeting Jamie Kilstein"?

Yes, I think he's being a tedious, pompous asshole.
