You glance at your Dentist's handwritten appointment card, and for as second you think it says "Scheduled for cloning Friday at 10 am"

It seems that the judges do pay attention to the models. After the "Why don't you take a closer look ?" segment, I thought I heard Ve say to Megan (who is my favorite model), "Thanks, Meg".

hincadenza wrote about the getting the clue uproar: This seems to be a common (and sometimes very unfortunate) trait with people under pressure. I remember reading an article about airline passengers trying to exit a cabin on fire. Most crash survivors die of smoke inhalation, not the flames - many times they can't get out fast enough because the 2-3 passengers who are already at the exit door delay everyone else while they fight each other to be the first out the door.

Here at work we have Italians from North and Central Italy. To my ear they have similar rhythms in their English speech, but more varying accents. One of the Northerners sounds very much like the Blond Salad -- but none of the others do. Maybe due to strong and differing regional dialects?

The return of the Pixel Challenge ! Blue shaggy dogs ! Now as then I couldn't figure out how to post pictures so I changed my avatar.

They should do this -- it would put new meaning to "After you are done sketching, we will return to the lab". On an unrelated note: I have also admired the presentation skills of many of the models. Does any one know their names/faces so that I could give them proper credit on the boards ?

Or signing up for The Amazing Race and not knowing how to drive a stick shift.

I'll throw in the idea that the branches were hurting/injuring the model, and the production said "OK, you don't have to continue to wear them (even if it is last minute).".

While I was writing I missed GaT's post. I also was really hoping for the Landscape Artist to do her thing.

It is too bad that the NotDenverbutAlabama guy got dinged for not really representing his home area. In fact, the Auburn/Alabama football rivalry is incredibly intense throughout the state, and is certainly a defining cultural feature. I thought it was clever to split the model into front and back - marriages and families can be spit in this rivalry.

So glad you brought this up. I hate,hate,hate obtrusive/obstructive lighting for dance. Let the dancers create the mood themselves. We, the audience should be able to see them in total all the time. In some dance cultures, not only is there no lighting, there are no curtains either -- the dance does it all.

I liked the painting challenges on Face Off -- I'll give this one a try. One paintestant looks like the guy from Dinner, Drive-Inns and Dives. That might make an interesting cross-over show.

Lambchop ! Its been years since I've thought of her !

And, since Foxy & Company never got a full series, you can see how well the "formula" worked for them !

Thank you, dusang, for bringing this video to my attention: It will forever be my Companion Guide to watching So You Think You Can Dance. In addition to the comprehensive main body of the work, I particularly enjoyed Contemporary Eric's walk off at the close, and count off at the beginning. It is the details that make it Art. My only regret is that an important feature of Contemporary, Hairography, was omitted. Perhaps it could be included a supplemental video. I look forward to Volume 2, which I hope will cover essential combinations, such "Flail and Roll", and " Pound the Floor, Pound the Chest, Look into the Sky."
