  1. OMG Lisa! Did you read the latest book yet? I have a ridiculous crush on Eric now!

     

    I am so excited to have a new episode this weekend! Doing re-runs because of the holiday weekend was BS! LOL

     

    Were the werewolves in book 2? I thought they didn't show up until 3. I read them all back to back so I get them confused. I guess I need to google!

  2. I really like Caitlyn for some reason. I guess maybe I have a similar goofy personality and make weird noises like she does, LOL

     

    With that particular bottom 3, there really wasn't anyone else to send home.

     

    I knew it was time for Phillip to go but he had a great attitude!

     

    It's great that they will both be on the tour! I really need to see if they will be anywhere close so I can get tickets!

     

    I agree that it will be interesting to see what happens now that the power couples and Randi & Evan are broken up. Randi will do better because she is a little girl so she can be paired with anyone. She might look odd with Kupono because he is the tallest (I think).

     

    Evan will pretty much have to be paired with Jeanette. I think she is the only other relatively short girl. He doesn't have the strength to do the lifts, IMO, though I could be wrong.

  3. I only have a second, so I can't do a Kathy style re-cap, LOL.. That will come later unless she beats me to it!

     

    I can see same favorites starting to emerge. Melissa is my #1 girl as of right now and Brandon is my #1 boy.

     

    The routines were kind of hit or miss for me last night. There would be a bad one (Russian folk) that was cancelled out but a good one (Jive) so I don't know how that will affect voting.

     

    The Mia routine that Kupono & Kayla did was the best of the season!

  4. So I was surprised at the bottom 3!

     

    It was great to see Phillips solo though!

     

    I guess it was time for both of them to go but I liked them both.

     

    From now on it will just get harder!

     

    Oh, and how crazy was that piece by the professional ballet dancers!?!?! She held that open plie on pointe for half of the number! I bet she has thighs like steel i-beams and mangled toes!

  5. OMG! I love Chelsea but she can't be hatin' on my SYTYCD!!! I might have to boycott! It is SOOOO much better than DWTS!

     

    Kathy - you must have been busy last night! There's no re-cap. I will attempt a condensed version.

     

    Janette & Brandon - Great Cha-Cha! Her facial expressions are a little over the top for me but I think they did a great job! This routine was spot on technically and really entertaining!

     

    Caitlyn & Jason - Weird as hell Brian Freedman contemporary jazz alien thing. I actually thought they did a good job with this dance. I'm afraid they will be in the bottom 3 (and I don't know how much longer they can hold on there) because people don't get the routine and/or because the costumes sucked. Even Nigel said it was distracting and he didn't like the "tin foil"

     

    Melissa & Ade - Beautiful Pas de Deux! I was so excited to see classical ballet on pointe! I don't think Ade was perfect but he faked it and it looked great! And ballet is really hard!

     

    Kupono & Kayla - Gothic Contemporary. I LOVED this one. Sonja is so stange and creative and her stuff is so much fun to watch. Wardrobe really did a good job with this one. Kupono did his best performance of the season. I am cheering my gay boyfriend on! Kayla is a fantastic dancer but she is a little irritating to me.

     

    Randi & Evan - Broadway. I thought the choreography was great but there was something lacking. I don't even know if it was that or that the other routines were just that much better. It reminded me of the first episode where there really wasn't a bad routine! I'm saying bottom 3.

     

    Phillip & Jeanine - Nappy Tabs (ha!) Hip Hop. These two are safe for sure. It was a great performance and they have a fan following. I liked it though I thought Jeanine was a little too exaggerated in some of her popping. It looks so natural for Phillip and it felt forced with her. I also agree with Mia that the chain kind of had a presence of its own and it was hard not to focus on in. I kept waiting for them to trip!

     

    Karla & Vitolio - The kiss of death Quickstep. These two really pulled it off! It was a fun routine to watch and I loved the quick change at the beginning. I think these two might be in the bottom because they don't have as big of a following and Vitolio has had some inconsistent performances/solos.

     

    I will be sad to see anyone go home tonight. I'm glad I DVRed so I could FF through the Dizzy Feet and Katie Holmes bits. I mean it's a great cause but I just wanted to see dancing!

     

    This is a really fun blog from a guy who was in the audience:

  6. Rach - this episode kinda got back in sync with the book. Not totally but enough that you feel like you know what direction they are heading.

     

    I thought it was one of the best of the season. I think the beginning seasons can be slow as they introduce new characters and have to develop new plot lines.

     

    I will say that they are deviating from the book on little things that don't make sense to me yet so I'm irritated. For example, the Sheriff of Dallas is Godfrey? And Sookie tells Eric she will go to Dallas for money for her new driveway when in the book Eric gives her the driveway, showing another side of this character. Of course I'll still watch to see what happens!

     

    There is no new episode next week, I guess because of the holiday. DOn't they realize that there are some of us who look forward to this show all week!

     

    I need to re watch the episode tonight and pay attention. DH was talking and the dogs were chasing each other so I was distracted!

  7. Hi Sara -

     

    A cheaper option might be to host a cocktail hour in the garden. It should only be about $15-25 per person for passed hors d'oeuvres and champagne.

     

    This is what we did. We were married at 4 on the beach, had a private cocktail reception where we cut the cake did toasts, etc. Our dinner reservation was at 6:30 in one of the restaurants. They didn't happen to be busy at that point so we pretty much had the place to ourselves and they seated the other guests at the other end of the dining room.

     

    It was like we got the best of both worlds. It also gave guests time to run back to the room to freshen up before dinner. It was REALLY HOT!!!

     

    Keep in mind that although you are staying at an AI, the upcharges are for personal service. So if you have a private dinner for 30 people the resort is going to have to set up and tear down your space, have a wait staff for just your group, have food and beverages separate from the normal service area, etc. That is why there is an extra charge.

     

    If you haven't already done so, please check out the Couples Mega Thread. I think you will find lots of helpful info and some great links.

  8. I was wrong on my bottom 3. I though for sure Phillip & Jeanine would be couple #3, but instead it was Jason & Caitlyn.

     

    I don't remember if I actually said it, but I called the losers! I told DH I need Fantasty SYTYCD. I'd have won the pot for the week. LOL

     

    I knew poor little Jonathan didn't have a chance and Auska just wasn't getting anything other than ballroom. I'm sure her meltdown didn't help things. I think it was time for both of them to go.

     

    Caitlyn really did have the best solo but all of the others were struggling and seemed out of steam. Maybe it was from that H-O-T opening number! Now that was some great dancing!

     

    I FFed through the musical act, but at least they were singing!

  9. I know what you mean Danielle. Sunday is True Blood, Monday is Weeds and Wed & Thur is SYTYCD.

     

    My BF and I trade off weekends and visit with each other and watch the show. There is no talking allowed and we usually have to banish the boys because they haven't been following the series.

     

    And seriously, after reading the books and seeing how tasty Erik was on Sunday, hot damn! I am definitely on Team Erik!
