I don’t have much to say today, but as always, I spent my life in front of the tube last night. So I’ll just tell you what I saw.
First was this beautiful piece choreographed by my other husband, Wade Robson. (Please see Flickr for proof. He is clearly in love with me.) I got that they were both foxes, but Bryan had to explain to me the rest of it. While the judges poo-poohed it for being too artsy, I thought the control shown by the dancers and the attention to detail was phenomenal.
Second was the boys’ final piece, choreographed by Mia Michaels. Honestly, I’m not always a fan of Mia, but I LOVED this piece. I wasn’t impressed with the “fight choreography” (I thought it was sloppy), but the characterization in the opening is PHENOMENAL. Two princes, battling for the throne of dance.. it was fabulous.
Thirdly, Top Chef made me so proud last night. Last night was the challenge that all teams inevitably suck at.. they had to run a restaurant. And not even a full-scale restaurant, but a limited-menu, presat dining area. This is the one episode of Top Chef where I can feel superior, because the failures ALWAYS happen at the front of the house. And I think, “Man, they so need me there.”
On a final note of Top Chef: I love it when restaurants that I dine at are featured on the show. But why in the WORLD can you not visit that restaurant afterwards and order the winning dish? Why can’t I go to ColdStone and buy a peach cobbler ice cream dish? Or go to Red Robin and buy a burger like the one CJ created? I’m just saying..
