Episode 6L America Has Spoken 1

I am front and center preparing to watch a phenomenal show! I think I heard Keri Hilson is supposed to be on the show tonight? Yeh… let’s get the show on the road

 Take 2 in 5, 4, 3, 2, 2, 2, 2, #SYTYCD ?

As I prepare my DVR for tonight’s show, I noticed that I still have my favorite clips from Season 4 saved. I wonder when I will delete them. Scenes like, Josh dancing to Mario’s Boom! with a Frankenstein theme, tWitch and Katy doing the breakup routine with the door, tWitch dancing the bed scene routine birthed from the genius of Mia Michaels, and many more are just SOME of my favorite highlights from that season. I even have LL Cool J executing the iconic Season 4 shoulder gesture. Just priceless! I think they can stay on my DVR…they’re not hurting anyone. Besides, I’m proud that I still have them.

Oh yeh… Season 8…..lol.

The entire team, in all black, open up to M.I.A’s XR2!!!!! PHENOMENAL!!! I must tell you that I want the costumes that the girls have on because they are classy, avant guard, and yet sexy. And, it was brilliant for them to put Sasha front and center.  I am in LOVE with this routine. Now… who choreographed this~>?! I am typing in real-time. And I must say that if I had better words to type to you while my eyes are on the screen as my fingers move, I promise I would be more articulate… but this is all that I have! I mean… even the mime-like spring bounce at the conclusion of the routine was on point!SANYA TAYEH!!!! I should have known that dance had “her” written all over it and I was illiterate in the face of its brilliance.

I am however shocked by the somewhat disheveled look of Megan Mullally tonight. And Nigel is discussing National Dance Day which is July 30th. They are placing 3 dances online and everyone will be able to do flash mobs all across the world.  I will partake in it this year. Last year I went down to the National Mall here in D.C. and got to see Nigel. Fab! WAIT! There is a Lady Gaga world premiere tonight? Okay… I’m awake.

I just hate how I am watching it in real-time and can’t fast forward through commercials…lol

RESULTS TIME!!!!

Remember that Mitchell couldnt dance last night and is automatically up for elimination.

Up come our first 3 couples to hear their fate. Melanie & Marko, they danced last night to a Travis Wall contemporary routine. Nigel even mentioned that this could be the first Emmy nominated routine. And…. America agreed because they were safe. Missy and Wadi, they danced to a Sean Cheesman Jazz routine.  The judges were on fire about them. They were pretty impressive. And America kept them safe!Iveta and Nick, performed a Jason Gilkinson Quick Step routine. They too…. were on fire. And Iveta and Nick are safe as well!

 The second group is up. Ashley and Chris performed a Christopher Scott Hip Hop routine and Jordan and Tadd did the Sean Cheesman African Jazz routine last night.  The first couple in the bottom 3 is Jordan and Tadd….. WTF?!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Okay, is it because their routine was black? lmbo! j/k. What are these people thinking.Caitlynn danced to a Sanya Tayeh Jazz routine. Remember Mitchell Kelly was supposed to dance with her but Season 7 Robert jumped in. Clarice and Jess put on a hell of a show with a Tyce Diorio Broadway routine, but America put them in the bottom 3.

Here with Loose Control is Keri Hilson. I am watching one of Keri’s dancers on the right side of the screen, up front on the floor, and all I can think is… ummm honey, you can’t dance. You do know that this is SYTYCD, right. I mean, these backup dancers are doing some of the simplest dance moves… that is almost an insult to the show that they are on. That is like an artist going on American Idol and lip syncing. I know I am supposed to focus on Keri… but this is not a vocal show… just know that these weak @$$ dancers behind her are blowing me. They all look tired and they just got to the second chorus.  There wasnt much technique, there was wobbly unison sections… and just overall horrible choreography. BUT…. Keri sounded wonderful. And I swear Cat just called her Kelly Hilson and then corrected herself and said Keri. Just saying…. I heard you.

Okay, back to the couples. Ryan and Ricky performed a Christopher Scott Lyrical Hip Hop routine and America gave them permission to perform another week. Miranda and Robert performed a Jason Gilkinson Jive. Sasha and Alexander danced a Travis Wall contemporary piece last night… and I don’t know what America will think… but I will STOP watching this show if they get put up for elimination. America says that Miranda and Robert must dance for their lives and the dance gods heard my silent prayers and saved Sasha and Alexander.

Now it is time for a special guest.  Gennadi Saveliev, the co-founder of Youth America Grand Prix which is the world’s largest student ballet scholarship program, will be performing to the Yuri Silantievs Orchestra’s Go Pak . Cat even said that this is how the GoPak was supposed to be done. As I watch this… I can only go back to Season 4 where Josh and tWitch did a similar routine in the finale. Wow… that was a short routine.

Mitchell is performing his solo performance to John Mayer’s Say. How perfect for him to perform to this song as the lyrics tell him to say what he needs to say without saying it, but rather say it by letting his choreography do it for him.  Jordan steps up to perform to Nadia Oh’s Hot Like Wow, and I must say that I am not all that impressed by her choreography. It is saturated with her leg extension/pirouette combo, but at what point will her own stuff pull away from a burlesque type feel and execute something different? I mean, it is hot like usual, but it didn’t scream “I am dancing for my life”.  Up next is Tadd dancing to the Brian…..Orchestra’s Jump Jive and Wail. BWAHAHAHAH!!! Tadd’s movement and the end made me die laughing! Clarice hits the stage performing to Christina Aguilera’s Glam.  I swear I almost saw a wardrobe malfunction!!!! I don’t know if I would have chosen that song, but then again… I’m not dancing for my life. Jess hits the stage with a Robbie William’s version of Bo Jangles. Dont let that little man fool you…he has leaps for days. However, I wouldn’t have used up valuable seconds standing still to milk the crowd. Miranda performs to Leona Lewis’ powerful voice in First Time I Ever Saw Your Face; superb choice!!! As the crowd “woooos” for Robert, he hits the stage to Omarion’s Electric. I must be honest, I had never heard of this song before, just like I am not all that impressed by Robert’s outfit or choreography.

Flashback…. Lady Gaga makes her TV debut on Season 4 of SYTYCD. And Fast Forward…. Lady Gaga has agreed to come back later in the season and will be a guest judge. is that fair? I know she dances, but..umm… never mind. World premiere of Lady Gaga’s new video The Edge of Glory. I know this is off topic… but I never noticed that her nose was so slim. Also, this breast focusing top is distracting me. Okay, I know that a ton of Lady Gaga fans are going to attack me for saying this… but I am NOT impressed with this video; it doesnt go with the song. Is that how she is on the edge? Maybe the budget was low and she thought that doing an 80’s version of a video would be hot.  Again… I could have missed this premiere. Shoot me if you want… I think that Lady Gaga can do better and has DONE better than this. I love her work but am not a fan of this weak video. And scene.

Back to the dancers.

Mitchell, Tadd, Jess, and Robert are on stage when Nigel asks for Mitchell and Robert to dance again. This has never been done before!!!  I am trying to figure out if Robert did the same choreography… I cannot tell. Mitchell ‘s music starts again and you have to take in all that is the fabulous-ness of his choreography. Now… I am a fan of Robert’s like anyone else is, but IF it came down to the two of them, I would pic Mitchell to stay.

Jordan, Clarice, and step on the stage. Jordan steps up for her critique first.  Nigel mentions that it is a shame that she is in the bottom 3. I agree, but she must step away just from her sex appeal and exercise more of her moves. Clarice is a great dancer and she shouldnt be in the bottom either. Miranda is last to step up for her critique when Nigel calls the guys on stage. I have a feeling that NO ONE is going home. At least I can pray that, right? Nigel says that Jess is magnificent and he shouldnt be in the bottom. Nigel mentions that Tadd is wonderful as well.  Nigel says that Robert has a huge personality and …Wait!  I CALLED IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Nigel isn’t letting anyone go home this week!!! I CALLED IT!!!!!!!!! *stands in my house and jumps up and down*~ But.. I know he will say this… two couples will go home next week. Yep… I CALLED IT AGAIN!!! I am ecstatic!!! Thanks Nigel!

Episode 4: Top 20 or Bust!

Episode 5: Starter Up!

I know, I know, I know!! I’m a day behind. I had a press conference to attend for my B. Smith’s B.Talented competition yesterday so I couldn’t blog directly after. I promise to do better!

Take 2 in 5, 4, 3, 2, 2, 2, 2, #SYTYCD ?

I am in love with this little black dress that Cat Deeley opened the show with. JUST GORGEOUS!!!! She looks like an innocent rocker chick! Ca—ute!

The dancers are introduced: Ashley, Alexander, Caitlynn, Chris, Clarice, Jess, Iveta, Marko, Jordan, Nick, Melanie, Ricky, Miranda, Robert, Missy, Tadd, Ryan, Wadi, Sasha. And just in case you missed it… Mitchell was not in the line-up because he injured his elbow after his first rehearsal and the doctors advised him to hit this one out. Unfortunately, that means that he is automatically up for elimination tomorrow because he cannot perform. But anyone who puts him up to be eliminated is a punk biiiiiish! Yep, I said it. I’m sure he would have danced with an injury if the doctors hadn’t told him to sit it out so this isnt his fault. Critique those who can dance.

And they also introduced a camera gone awry by showing behind the scenes and nothing at all right before they announced Sasha. lol.I wonder who wont have a job tomorrow. lol. And Cat Deeley’s dance where she was “just giving it a little something” was too funny. Honey.. go to one of these rehearsals and get some rhythm. lol.

Nigel Lythgoe, Mary Murphy, and Megan Mullally are the judges for the night. Megan has been on Will and Grace in her role of Karen Walker ( LOVED HER!) and many more roles that we love, is the guest judge and has a background in ballet. Who knew?

Jordan Casanova, the Beyoncé Nasty Girl dancer, is up first.  In the few seconds given we find out that :

• She just turned 19 ( Happy Birthday)
• She wants to be a Pussycat Doll ( Cue Robin Antin)
• She can Howl like her dog ( I swear I didn’t make this up!)
• She loves food and her favorite color is blue

Jordan will be paired to dance with b-boy, Tadd Gadduang. We found out that Tadd is :

• 25 years old
• He played a dancing taco in a movie
• Almost died in a Bollywood movie
• Thought he was caucasian growing up ( The name Tadd is ethnically androgynous…though the last name is NOT)
• Cannot ride a bike
• and World Peace

Together, Jordan & Tadd will be dancing African Jazz choreographed by Sean Cheesman. Sean, the choreographer said that the piece will be inspired by the lava of a volcano. Ummm.. come again? I’m sorry for my ignorance, but if I saw lava coming towardsme, the only thing I would be inspired to do would be run. Hence, why I probably wouldn’t have choreographed this piece. lol. Cant wait to see what it looks like. Wait, did I just see Tadd jump , feet first, on to Jordan’s back? Yeh, now I’ve just GOT to see this. Dancing to Afro Celt Sound System‘s Riding the Waves they hit the ground running! The opening is amazing!!!!! WOW!!! The leg handstand switch that she did… just unbelievable! I forgot to write while I was watching! Sean did an amazing job and they did wonderful opening the show! What a great birthday gift to Jordan. If you wish to vote for them you can call 1-888-TEMP-01 (1-888-836-7601) or TEXT 1 to 83676.

Sasha Mallory, one of the Mallory sisters, :

• Is 23 years of age
• Forgets her age some times
• Likes purple
• And ran out of time….bwhahahahaha

Sasha will be paired with contemporary dancer, Alexander Fost. Alexander:

• Is 20-Years-old
• Lives in Alhambra, CA
• Speaks Spanish

This week, Sasha & Alexander will be performing a contemporary routine crafted by Travis Wall. The theme behind the dance is that Alexander’s conscience is coming back. He’s obviously done some things in a past relationship and it has come back to tear him to shreds the way that Sasha’s character was torn to shreds by his actions. Now, this “Alexander getting hit” montage is freaking hilarious! They performed the dance to Sarah McLachlan’s Stupid, the Mark Bell mix. The opening with Sasha peeking over Alexander’s shoulder sets the mood for the theme of the piece.  AMAZING!!!! There was a twirl that landed Sasha on the ground and Alexander does this move where he pushes he head away from him. BRILLIANT!!! I have chills, people… chills! *rewind* These jumps are phenomenal! Sasha does this angled leap where her left leg ends up over his right shoulder and her right leg is under his left armpit and they twirl….just breath-taking! *rewind* That’s what this piece should be called… *Rewind* because you just have to watch it again. Their faces are so in the moment. There unison is impeccable. And the story of the fight is soooooo painfully beautiful. Unfortunately, I don’t get that she is his conscience, but I do get that he hurt her and now she is turning the tables. DANG!!!! The ending…. I want to be like Sasha and Alexander when I grow up!1-888-TEMP-02 (1-888-836-7601) or TEXT 2 to 83676.

Next up is

• Clarice Ordaz is:
• 19-years-old
• Her eyes change color
• And she is shy, but not shy

Clarice has been partnered with Jess LeProtto. Pause: His leap in his intro looked as if his hips dislocated! Phenomenal! Jess is:

• 18-years-old
• Jersey Boy
• Loves Broadway
• Likes to sing and dance
• Makes funny Noises

Clarice and Jess will be performing a Broadway routine choreographed by Tyce Diorio.  hahahahahahahahah The butt smack that Clarice does to Jess is hilarious! And even Cat says that she “thinks we have our first crush of Season 8” with Jess crushing on Clarice. Sooooo cute. How PERFECT for them to greet the crowd with Liza Minnelli’s Me and My Baby! The first thing you notice if Clarice’s outstanding outfit! I need to hit the gym. WOW!!! The pirouette that Jess did that looked like it should have been done by an ice skater on ice. But their technique is beautiful in this routine! I LOVE IT! And I agree with Nigel when he said that the vaudeville-broadway style pours out of Jess’ blood. 1-888-TEMP-03 (1-888-836-7601) or TEXT 3 to 83676.

Ryan Ramirez is:

• 19-years-old
• A Sagittarius
• Obsessed with Law & Order SVU (  LMAO! They wrote “wrong network)
• Very, very, very, funky white girl ( I think that’s what she said)
• Loves Mexican food

Ryan has been paired with contemporary dancer Ricky.Ricky Jaime is:

• 19-years-old
• Florida Native
• Stopped cheering and started dancing
• Loves dancing

Ryan and Ricky will perform a Lyrical Hip Hop routine choreographed by Christopher Scott of LXD. I GET A CHILL IN MY GUT EVERY TIME I HEAR LXD! To say I am a fan is an understatement. Chris says that this is a love story where Ricky imagines that Ryan is there but she isn’t. If they do this correctly… Chris’ choreography is always phenomenal. Awwww, Ricky said, “It’s not hard for me to pretend that I am in love with Ryan; she’s beautiful.” The tempo pops out of the television speakers to the rhythm of a high hat snare combo as Ryan and Ricky begin to move to Lighthouse Family’s Aint No Sunshine. How befitting for the theme of this routine. I mean, already you can see the LXD flare as only their arms move. I do, however, want Ryan to work more on her upper torso isolations. And I am trying, for the life of me, to understand why she has a smile on her face. It threw me for a loop on the rewind. I guess I am left because just the style of Hip Hop, alone, it is seldom that you ever see smiling. It is too gritty to smile.This outine seems more Ricky heavy and Ryan’s walk aways or transitions are poorly executed or seems out-of-place. I could be wrong… but it brought a disconnect. And YES!!!! Nigel attacked her facial expressions. I knew I wasnt going crazy.1-888-TEMP-04 (1-888-836-7601) or TEXT 4 to 83676.

Caitlynn Lawson is:

• 18-years-old
• Small Town Girl
• A Senior in High School
• First year of college is completed
• Favorite color is Green
• Excited to be here

Caitlynn will be performing with contemporary dancer Mitchell Kelly. Mitchell is:

• 20-years-old
• Loves to dance
• Allergic to onions
• Loves Chocolate
• Loves childhood moves
• Favorite color is orange

Caitlynn and Mitchell will perform a Sanya Tayeh routine in the style of Jazz. Sanya says that the routine is based on the idea of what we can accomplish without fear. They will need confidence, aggression, fire and fight. UGH! I swear the universe is speaking to me right now! I wrote in my B.Talented~So You Think You Can Spit blog entry that the competition I am now a part of would be “more of a competition between my fears and my dreams”. This dance, before they even get to hit the stage… is already speaking to me. Sanya is going to effect me the same way that a Mia Michael’s piece is able to reach the center of my core. I LOVE IT! I am paying attention.  Bwahahahahaha Mitchell said, ” If you have an ugly partner….whew…. I feel sorry for you.” bwahahahaha. But, as we found out earlier…. Mitchell has hurt his elbow and will be replaced in the routine by Season 7’s Robert.  La Roux’s In For The Kill  (Skillrex’s Let’s Get Ravey remix) appears to be a great choice for the overall theme of this routine. But, then again… when have we known Sanya to not pull out some of the best music for the show? WOWZERS (<~Can’t you tell that is one of my fav words) The leap, split, on to the back pirouette was beautiful. It was delicate yet edgy. Sanya is just a genius at masculine femininity; the ugly beauty of dance. She can make you look at something and love the terrible of its reality. I think that is simply a gift from whatever god you pray to.1-888-TEMP-05 (1-888-836-7601) or TEXT 5 to 83676.

Miranda Maleski is:

• 19-years-old
• From Pittsburgh, PA
• Still sleeps with a nightlight
• Loves her family
• And she likes spicy food

Miranda will be paired up with Robert Taylor Junior. Robert is:

• A.k.a the Wooo Man
• From Brookyn, NY
• Loves to cook fried chicken
• Gamer
• Wrestling fan
• Loves dogs and cats

Miranda and Robert will perform a Jive routine to Bruno Mars’ Runaway Baby choreographed by Jason Gilkinson. The theme of the dance is the age-old story of a guy wanting a girl who is totally out of his league but tries anyway. The outfits, from the jump, are right up Bruno Mars’ alley and I havent even seen them move yet. Just wonderful! My first critique would be for Robert to watch his mouth and not to mouth the words unless it is a part of the routine.  As I watch it, the story is somewhat lost because they are together so much, so it almost seems like he CAN get the girl. But I guess it has to deal with the style of the Jive that you must be in close proximity to one another. Di Robert just pull out a MJ move in the middle?  My ONLY problem with Robert is that he broadcasts his hottest moves before he does them. He could stand a little more technique… but all in all… it was a good routine. I am just happy that he caught her at the end. I mean, he was one inch away from her face landing in his crotch region and risking the show’s family image…lol. Mary’s version of the “woooooo”… ummm *side eye* ummmm.. yeh.Megan said that Robert is her “top 20 crush”.1-888-TEMP-06 (1-888-836-7601) or TEXT 6 to 83676.

Missy Morelli

• Loves Yoga
• Loves Lipstick
• Loves Eating
• Talks in a Jamaican accent
• Wants to marry an Australian
• Loves her family

Missy will be paired with b-boy/Hip Hop dancer, Wadi Jones. Wadi is:

• 24-years-old
• Born in Jamaica
• Love Japanese culture
• Wants to inspire

Missy and Wadi will be performing to Lady Gaga’s Judas (Rehab Remix) in a Jazz routine choreographed by Sean Cheesman. The concept of this routine is that Pandora’s box has just been opened and what is revealed is the demon clones of themselves. Sean says that he wants sexy demons….lol. hahahaha Wadi accidentally grabbed Missy’s boob…hahahaha I swear this show is full of accidental comedy!  The red-lit boxes on stage just screams anti-angelic. Okay, first off I think I was trying to pay too much attention to them both at the same time in their individual boxes. I caught a few off beat movements, some movements that didn’t match, and then I spotted the foot kick to the back of the heel that Travis Wall used earlier in Sasha and Alexander’s routine… ummmm choreographers, it’s becoming a bit cliché! Just saying….don’t shoot the messenger. I hate to say this, and people may get upset with me…. but this routine is moving a tad bit too slowly for me. It is almost as if they are counting in their heads and waiting for the setup of the next move. Now I am a Wadi fan…. so I have to be honest about his performance and not sugar coat it. The routine didnt get hot for me until the epileptic light flashing part towards the end. Man, I hope they dont end up in the bottom 3 tomorrow. Ummm, I can’t agree with Nigel. He said that this was Sean Cheesman’s best work ever. Ummm, NOT! But then again, I’m not a professional, but I am a part of the voting public. Just saying, again.  Snap! Just saw Professor Bryce in the audience!1-888-TEMP-07 (1-888-836-7601) or TEXT 7 to 83676.

Melanie Moore is:

• 19-years-old
• Southern Belle
• Likes cookies
• Collects Nail Polish
• Use to wear a helmet because she was narcoleptic
• Really wants to be on Ellen

Melanie will be partnered with marko Germar. Marko is:

• 22-years-old
• Guamanian
• Likes to eat….a lot
• And his voice sounds like he is sick.. but he is not.

Did he just fall backwards out of the chair?

Melanie and Marko will be performing to  Ingrid Michaelson’s Turn to Stone in a Contemporary piece designed by Travis Wall. The theme is that they are two statues that come to life at night and the goal is for them to come together as one statute, one piece of art. I must say, the opening picture of the two of them on stage is breath-taking. The look like real statues before a note is even played. THIS is EMMY AWARD WINNING right here. Yep… I said it….. and I guess now I can take the DVR off of pause and actually watch the dance, huh? But this picture could be ripped right off the screen and put in a frame as a work of art. Them being all covered in white with white Greek inspired clothing is just beautiful. Okay… shutting up and pressing play. Wow, during the first lift, Melanie was so stiff and did not move a muscle, even when he placed her down she was statue like. And once on the ground he dropped her arm and it was almost frightening, as if i were watching a real statue come to life. AMAZING!!!!! The way the lighting change, the tempo picked up and they exploded into movement as if they were not grafted by marble or any other stone! The dancers’ technique is unmistakably brilliant, the choreography is impeccable, and the collision between the two is live art. And the ending pose…* Screams “Sexual Chocolate” & drops mic, like in Coming to America*

The judges just gave them both a standing ovation along with the rest of the crowd. I, too, have NOTHING, bad to say about this routine. Even Nigel said this could be the first Emmy nominated routine of the season. I told you so! *Sticks out tongue*.1-888-TEMP-08 (1-888-836-7601) or TEXT 8 to 83676.

 Ashley Rich is:

• 22-years-old
• Eats Waffles
• Loves  peanut butter toast, with BBQ chips and orange soda
• Favorite color is magenta
• She loves Hot Pink Uggs
• and she has swag

Ashley will be partnered with Chris Koehl. Chris is:

•  21-years-old
• Texan
• 1 of 7 kids
• Loves Ice cream
• Loves Biking
• Loves Movies
• Hangs out with friends

Ashley and Chris will perform a Christopher Scott’s Hip Hop routine. The theme is that they are a couple who finds out that they are cheating on each other. Strangely enough…. Ashley reminds me of Comfort in this rehearsal footage. What? I’m just saying. Aren’t I allowed to have an opinion? Chris actually has a genuine moment during rehearsals where he recalls a moment in his life where he actually was cheated on. I hope that he is able to channel in that energy and make it pop on stage….and what better way to do that than to perform to Cee Lo Green’s infamous Forget You (generously titled for PG friendly audiences….I’ll hum the original version, thank you very much).  Okay, bare stage… nothing, zip, zilch, nada. And then they walk on from either side of the stage with “I Cant Stay Faithful” paraphernalia. I think that the opening could have started just a liiiiiiiitle bit sooner than it did. And once it did, oh boy! The foot work…..There was no Justin, No J.C. Chasez in sight. In other words, it was not in sync. And some of the transitions were not all that cohesive. WAIT!!! Did they just do the wheel chair move that Nigel did during the Auditions?  And I was so busy trying to wonder what the name of the dance was that I didn’t look at the rest of the dance. But I did notice that they were late to get to one another at the end. Oh snap, the name of the dance is called the Cat Daddy!1-888-TEMP-09 (1-888-836-7601) or TEXT 9 to 83676.

Iveta Luskoslute is:

• 30-years-old
• A New Yorker
• Lithuanian
• Wanted a monkey but it is illegal in NY
• Hot for dance

Iveta will be paired with tap dancer, Nick Young. Nick is:

• hahahahahah Nick didn’t get much out other than his name and that he has a fun personality.

 Iveta and Nick will close out the night for us with a Ballroom routine choreographed by Jason Gilkinson in the style of a Quick Step. Wait….what was the theme of this routine? Is there not one? Why the table? Hello, Jason, I like to know these things before I give a critique! Okay, what I do know is that they will be performing to Sweet’s Ballroom Blitz.  I love Nick’s carriage. For this to be new to him, his frame doesn’t seem to be wavering much. I love Iveta’s look. She looks as if she could fit beautifully into the 1920s. The song, however, with its screaming “It’s the ballroom blitz” was a bit distracting to me. But… it is what it is.1-888-TEMP-10 (1-888-836-7601) or TEXT 10 to 83676.

Okay…. these people have money ( supposedly) and the ONLY person who is allowed to have wig issues will be Toni. Everyone else will be on my wig list! Okay, why is Wendy’swig jacked?! Mama Evelyn’s hair looks fresh but I never have a problem with her hair. Towanda’s hair is fresh and Trina’s hair is just barely making the list. I always want to pull Traci off camera and try to fix her wig just a little bit. Wait…. as they pan the audience i notice that Kim “Poprah” Kearney is sitting in the audience. She was a contestant on I Want to Work for Diddy on season 1 and she came back for season 2. I swear that is her… but anyway……

This recap of who has the shortest temper and Tamar’s unregistered websites is too much for me to recap. I do, however, laughed at the “that tasted like ass crack.com”.  Wait, so did Tamar just say ” I work hard to look like this. Its not cheap to look like this” all in the same damn breath? How hard is it to lift your husband’s black card? That wasnt apart of Kanye’s workout plan.

WOWZERS!!! I fell like Trina’s boos are about to fall out of this dress!!!! She must have some of that Tina Knowles double sided tape in full effect. Because honey!!! I sense a wardrobe malfunction in our near future.

I am proud of how Trina stepped up and admitted to how bad her drinking was at one point. I think that is a huge step in the right direction. How did I miss it when Trina said ” a sipping Christian is a slipping Christian”?!!!!!!! I’m using that one.

I am about 10 mins ( minus commercials) into this reunion show and all I can think of is…. they arent telling me anything new. I mean, usually the reunion show tells us stuff that we were unaware of during the regular episodes. Ummm.. I just feel like they are snipping in small recaps we’ve already seen.

Wait… Toni got FOUR record deals for her sisters?!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Ummm… so what in the world are they complaining about? Sitch ungrateful.net ass down somewhere!

Okay, so there was a “Who’s your fan favorite” poll… I didnt know about it. I would pic Trina….point blank. But…they picked Tamar.  Okay… so she got to wear this boyshorts and blazer outfit. I mean, it is cute…. but I wonder what Vincent had to say about it.

And they hit the wig comment. Oh lawd I wish I could have submitted a question. I mean theyr wigs arent always on point. Either make the wig look right or dont wear it at all!. bwahahahaha SHe said the cop ” damn near said ‘SayCheese'”.hahahahaha Wait… Toni said that she has over 100 wigs!!!! I knwo who to rob next.

hahahahaha!  Wendy asked Trina if she has ever had a threesome. Trina says, “Now , Wendy…. I cant tell you in front of my mother. If my mother wasnt sitting right there I would tell you yes, but since she is sitting here…..with that being said I cant answer the question.” hahahaha So, Toni has sense declined to pose in Playboy.

Okay, I just need Vincent to close his mouth when the camera is going to be on him. BWahahahahaha I think that Tamar is a trip. She said, ” I dont share my ding-a-ling”. And then Trina told Tamar, ” You are not my Dr.Schol’s, you dont know my comfort.”  hahahahaha Mama Evelyn said that she might win a “snow man” since she has been going out with the “snow flakes”.  Has Vincent gained weight since the end of the season stopped filming?

HOLD THE HELL UP!!! Who’s little boy is that up on the top row in the audience right after the Vincent vs Tamar slideshow? IS this really a show that kids should be watching when based on the topics? I mean, there isnothing too scandalous, but this is still about adult situations.

Sidebar: It is 1:41am and I am trying to catch up on these shows for you all. I really should be asleep.

Ummmmm… dont write with a pen what you could write with a pencil?  Ummmm Traci… boo, you lost me and the rest of America. You tried too hard boo. Just ignore the rest of these questions. Wait…. did Traci just walk off the stage and then came back 20 mins later after Tamar said that she lives in “Nutbush” Maryland.

Okay, so it ended with theirfather and that the relationship has not changed. I dont feel like I learned anything new…. but I am happy that they are coming back for a second season. I’m too sleepy to proof read this… hope you enjoy.

 

Sincerely,

I’m ready to see Mama Evelyn go off on her ex-husband. What? You know that is why you are watching it too….lol.

Take 2 in 5, 4, 3, 2, 2, 2, 22, #SingTheSongAnnaMae

BWahahahahahah The fact that they have harmonized for Traci to call their father in an impromptu song is beyond clever & hilarious!

Ummmmm can someone please pop Tamar in the throat? Honey, can you please just do your part and then have her come back into the mix at the end. Do you think that this album can’t make it without her? And did Traci just say that she is moving to the ATL? And this wig or style that Traci has while on the couch discussing her father’s reason for not showing up reminds me of Robin’s ex-wife from Bebe’s Kids.

I agree with Trina. Why would their father fly to Atlanta but wouldn’t have driven a block away to meet them while they were in Maryland?

Antavius is Towanda’s attorney….ummmm… why would you bring Tamar on this trip? Why couldnt Toni come?And wait, did Towanda just say “we live together but we have no cohabitated.”? Ummm… I know what she meant, but that is NOT what it means.  Is cohabitated even a word? I know cohabited, but not cohabitated. lol.  Damn, can someone please hit this bitch ( Tamar) with a damn bus!!!! Oh this female is enough to make me try to find her just so I can fight her on the street. And I am glad that Towanda stepped up and attempted to put her in her place. DAYUM!!!! Tamar just roll called her sister! I would have pushed the trick out the window. Tamar said that Towanda and her husband are living with Toni and he’s driving the car that Tamar bought for Towanda……ouch! All of that may be true but can someone, anyone, please tell this woman how to talk to people!!!!!!!!!!!!!

WOWZERS!!!!! Did Traci just say that she will even leave her husband if it means that the Braxton album is going to get recorded? WOW! And did Traci just call Patron “Jesus Juice”? hahahahahaha.

WOW! Michael Braxton, the father, is walking around like he just say everyone yesterday.  I mean, the way that he walked up to hug his grandkids was horrible. And how many times will he say , “How are you doing Miss E?”? lmao! Mama Evelyn said she is glad that she is saved. POW!!!!! Michael just called Mama Evelyn a “dirty lie”!!!!!!!!!!!!! Oh snap! Someone get the bail money from under the mattress!    But why , oh why, is Tamar in the middle of this calling everyone’s wrong but can’t see when she is wrong. SNAP! Mama Evelyn told Michael that he use to “Lay it low & spread it wide. You don’t care who it is.” WOW! I am proud of Mama Evelyn. I shouldnt have been able to sit there that long. That is just a wound that you have to keep praying to heal because only God can fix that one.

Mama Evelyn is sitting on this couch looking just as young as her daughters. Hell… in this scene Traci looks the oldest. No offense, but that is true. bwahahahahaha “I’m sorry about the woman in you, but the woman in me said he needed to know how I felt.” I’m using that!

Dang. Towanda handed Andre the separation papers and all he said was Yeh and walked away. Girl, I know it hurts, but just let him walk away!

So, at dinner they all reveal something… just about. Towanda rehashes her separation, Traci reveals she wants to move to ATL and Toni is moving to LA. hahahaha And no one offered to help her pack.

Really?!I did not know that all of the sisters sang the intro song to the show. I just thought that it was Toni. bwahahahahah! Towanda told Tamar ” that’s a lie from the pits of hell”. hahahah I’m stealing that one too.  Judging by the look on Traci’s face… she’s about to explode in 5, 4, 3, 2, 1! Wait, why does everyone think that they cant do this album without Toni. I will try to understand but you will have to make this clear to me. And it ends with Traci storming out and Toni at home doing bed yoga with headphones on. Okay, so can we say that there will NOT be a Braxton album any time soon?

Guess we’ll have to wait until next season to find out.
