Chuck Versus The Angel de la Muerte




This episode was “muy awesome” as Devon would say. Seeing Captain Awesome getting mixed up in the spy world was a ton of fun.

“Is there anything your brother-in-law can't do?” ~ Sarah

It was great to get to see him and Ellie both get some more action (and I’m not just talking about that closest flashback). Now if only Ellie would ease up on the Chuck-nagging a little bit. We love Ellie, we really do, but it’s starting to get a wee bit tiresome.

The episode did a great job at easing some of the angst from the last two episodes. We got some good old fashioned spy stuff, Casey sporting another lovely mustache, some super hot dancing, and some nice Chuck/Sarah stuff via their conversations with Awesome and Ellie. I’m glad that they’re settling into being friends, hopefully things can be a little less awkward. Casey’s whole sub plot as the Angel of Death turned the Angel of Life was classic. Great stuff from Alec Baldwin this episode.

I swear I was about ready to punch the TV screen when the episode ended and implied that Awesome was dead. Luckily for our TV, but not so lucky for the suspense of the cliff hanger, NBC immediately revealed that he was ok in the scenes for next week. Phew! (But seriously, FAIL on your part, NBC).

No sign of the Buy More peeps this episode (the great budget reduction of season 3 can be blamed for this), but I didn’t miss them. It would have been awkward trying to squeeze them into this storyline. So far they’re keeping a good balance I think. Agreed?

How I Met Your Mother ~ Girls vs. Suits ***100th Episode!!!***




Thanks for a super solid 100th episode, HIMYM! There were a lot of great moments:

  • TV’s Tim Gunn as Barney’s personal tailor.
  •  Lilly trying to get Marshal to admit that the bartender was hotter than her and further reinforcing that she’s a little gay some times (“She's a goddess! Her legs go for miles. And that ass? I would wear that thing for a hat!”).
  • Robin getting pissed because she wasn’t the hottest girl in the room and insisting that the bartending was benefiting circumstantial hotness.
  •  A classic Barney scheme.
We came literally within inches of meeting the mother, but we know two things for sure: Rachel Bilson is not the mother, and that the mother is cooler than we could ever have imagined. Paints robots doing sports, makes her breakfast food sing broadway tunes (“Your mother's rendition of 'Memory,' as performed by an English muffin is, to this day, the most hauntingly beautiful thing I have ever heard.”), plays the base . . . basically she’s made of awesome.

That’s about it, right?

Oh wait, FREAKING MUSICAL NUMBER, Y’ALL!!! That’s right, we finally saw the much anticipated “Nothing Suits Me Like A Suit” and it was made of win, as we expected. Frankly, how could it not have been? Best moment: "I'm gonna stop you right there. It's the suits. Come on, Lily, get your head out of your ass."

Chuck is back!!!


Chuck Versus the Pink Slip; Chuck Versus the Three Words




The third season of Chuck premiered last night with a double dose of episodes, and will continue with the awesomeness tonight at its regularly scheduled 8pm timeslot. Did you forget about the sneaky Sunday showing? Quick, get thyself to hulu and catch up before tonight!

This season marks a new beginning for Chuck, with the Intersect 2.0 turning him a real spy . . . sometimes. He’s got all sorts of useful new tricks up his sleeves, if only he could access them properly! While we’re told over and over again that Chuck is too emotional and that is what is causing the Intersect to fail him, we know deep down that it’s his emotions that are the key. Threaten Sarah and Boom! Kung fu!

As per usual things are messy between Chuck and Sarah, but unexpectedly we find that it was Chuck who broke Sarah’s heart this time around! She was willing to give up everything and go on the run with him, but Chuck decided that he couldn’t go through with it – that he has to stay and try to be a real spy. Sarah mistakes his rejection for vanity and is angry at herself for allowing herself to fall in love with him. Chuck, in the meantime, was trying to be a better man because of her. All in all, epic fail of emotional miscommunication has left things icy between them, but it will thaw eventually.




“You’re a spy now, Chuck; you have to keep your emotions to yourself.” ~ Sarah

Best moment of the night: Depressed bearded Chuck wandering around the Buy More in a bathrobe, hat and sunglasses looking for a giant tub of cheese balls.

OH HELL NO moment of the night: Emmett (Tony Hale) getting himself shot in the head, dying to the tune of “Hold On” by Wilson Phillips. That’s one way to trim your show budget.

Blatant show of skin moment of the night: Sarah and Carina getting ready for the mission/engagement party. That little knife in Carina’s high heels was nifty!





Don’t forget to tune in tonight at 8 on NBC for an all new episode!!!!

Top Ten Episodes of the Decade ~ Whedonverse

Well you didn’t honestly think we would make it all the way through our top episodes of our favorite shows without acknowledging anything from Joss Whedon’s universe, did you? We would never insult Joss like that! When it came down to it, we decided it would be most fair to recognize episodes from each series in their very own special list! I’m giving you fair warning now, this is going to be spoiler heavy and that includes pictures! And so we present, in no particular order:

The Shapusens’ Top Ten Episodes of the Decade: Whedonverse

(and yes, descriptions are lovingly donated by imdb.com once again)

Buffy the Vampire Slayer, "The Body" (season 5)

Buffy sees Joyce lying on the couch, calls 911 and unsuccessfully follows emergency procedures. When the paramedics arrive, they realize that Joyce is dead. Buffy calls Giles and goes to the school to tell Dawn. Along the day, the Scooby gang grieves the death of Joyce and sympathizes with Buffy.



Why it makes the cut: If this episode doesn’t make you cry, I’m about 99% sure you aren’t human. Anya’s monologue especially gets us every time. Of all the deaths throughout the series (and there were a lot of them) Joyce’s hit the hardest, perhaps because there was absolutely nothing mystical or magical to blame, and there was nothing that anyone could have done to prevent it.


Buffy the Vampire Slayer, "Once More With Feeling" (season 6)

Sunnydale is alive with the sound of music as a mysterious force causes everyone in town to burst into full musical numbers, revealing their innermost secrets as they do. But some townsfolk are dancing so much that they simply burst into flames, and it becomes clear that maybe living in a musical isn't so great after all.



Why it makes the cut: Take something we already love and then combine it with musical theatre and you’re pretty much guaranteed instant success in our eyes. The music is catchy, the lyrics are some of the most clever I have ever heard (“I think this line’s mostly filler.”), and it all works seamlessly to advance the plot of both the episode and the arch of the series.



Buffy the Vampire Slayer, "Conversations with Dead People" (season 7)

Buffy has a conversation with a vampire who once went to Sunnydale High, and learns something interesting about Spike. Joyce materializes to Dawn in the living room. The ghost of Cassie brings a message to Willow from beyond the grave. Meanwhile, Andrew and Jonathan have returned to Sunnydale on a mission to save the town.



Why it makes the cut: Our formal introduction to The First, by way of some creeptastic “ghost” interactions. Dawn’s encounter with Joyce is by far the most disturbing.


Angel, "Smile Time" (season 5)

Angel and the gang set out to foil an evil puppet show that is sucking the brain power of all the children who watch. During their fight, Angel is turned into a puppet himself and must rely upon his friends in order to reverse the spell which holds him at one foot tall.




Why it makes the cut: This episode was whimsical, cute, funny, and probably one of the most disturbing concepts of the whole series. The puppets draining the life force from children though the TV? Using the corpse of their creator as a puppet? Horrifying! Luckily puppet Angel is adorable, so it all balances out. Plus “Self Esteem is for Everybody” is damn catchy . . . and will be stuck in my head for the rest of the day . . .


Angel, "A Hole in the World" (season 5)

When an ancient sarcophagus arrives in the laboratory at Wolfram & Hart, Fred opens a small compartment and is infected by an ancient disease that slowly begins to kill her. As Angel and Spike travel across the world in order to help her, Wesley slowly begins to realize that there may be no stopping this disease.



Why it makes the cut: “Please, Wesley, why can’t I stay?” Joss might as well have just ripped out our hearts. Fred’s death was devastating to say the least, especially considering that she and Wesley had just finally gotten together.



Angel, "Not Fade Away" (season 5)

In the series finale, Angel reveals that his questionable moral behavior has been part of a bigger plan: to destroy The Circle of the Black Thorn and show the Senior Partners that the power of good can still make a difference. Wesley struggles with helping Illyria adapt to the world, scolding her for her attempts to take on Fred's form. As Gunn continues his quest of self-discovery, Lorne becomes more aware of the lack of happiness in the world. Harmony attempts to seduce Marcus Hamilton for information, Lindsey makes an important decision regarding his alliance, and Eve continues to deal with being mortal. As Spike comes closer to understanding the nature of heroism, Angel pays a visit to the one person he truly loves. On Angel's bidding, the gang goes out and spends each day as if it were their last.



Why it makes the cut: Heartbreaking, depressing, and uplifting all somehow manage to describe this episode. Some fans apparently had major issues with the fact that we didn’t get to see the final battle, but I think it was genius. This episode made it about the journey. In the end Angel and his crew were not fighting for a reward, or destiny, or prize, or because they had any real hope of succeeding. They fought because it was the right thing to do. “Let’s Go To Work!”



Firefly, "Out of Gas"

When Serenity's life support system fails, Mal orders the crew off the ship - but he stays behind.




Why it makes the cut: We got to see how all of the characters found their way to Serentity. The story telling took place in three timelines, all interwoven throughout the episode. Probably the smartest episode of the series. Wash’s mustache is just an added bonus.


Firefly, "Objects in Space"

The Alliance has placed a bounty on River Tam's head and a bounty Hunter named Jubal Early sets out to claim the bounty and tracks down the Serenity crew. Jubal sneaks on-board the Serenity while the crew is asleep to capture River and Simon and return them to the Alliance, so he can be paid for their capture and only River can stop him.




Why it makes the cut: What a great episode for Summer Glau. In the final episode of the series we really got a great look at River’s insanity, genius, and snazzy acrobatic moves. Hats off to Richard Brooks for a great performance as Jubal Early, the super disturbing bounty hunter.



Dollhouse, "Epitath One" (season 1, not aired in US)

In the future, the imprinting technology is rampant. A few people stumble on the Dollhouse.




Why it makes the cut: I hope the morons over at Fox are kicking themselves for not airing this episode. It was pure genius, far surpassing any episode in the first season, and second season (so far) for that matter. This episode provided a glimpse of what the future holds once imprinting technology begins destroying civilization, and it did not look good. If you haven’t seen this yet, we highly recommend tracking it down before the series finale (Epitaph Two: Return) later this month. Warning: crazy Topher will break your heart.


Dollhouse, "Belonging" (season 2)

The story of how Sierra came to the Dollhouse is revealed. And leads to a shocking outcome.



Why it makes the cut: This episode shows us how Sierra ended up in the Dollhouse, and it was beyond disturbing. We also start to see Topher grow a conscience, shedding further light on what leads to his condition in Epitaph One. Most importantly, we learn that the love between Sierra/Priya and Victor/Anthony goes way deeper than anticipated.

Top Ten Episodes of the Decade ~ Drama

Continuing with our tops from the oughts, here are our picks for top drama episodes from 2000 – 2009. As we did with the comedies, we’ve only picked one episode per show, which was incredibly difficult! Notice a few series that seem to be missing? Well, keep in mind that we still have one more super secret list on the way! So, without further ado, we present . . .

The Shapusens’ Top Ten Episodes of the Decade: Dramas

(episode descriptions once again stolen from imdb.com)


Alias, “Phase One” (season 2)

In this episode, the entire world of 'ALIAS' is turned upside down, beginning with the mysterious disappearance of Sloane that brings Anthony Geiger, the new head of SD-6 into Jack and Sydney's life. As the Bristows struggle to stay one step ahead of having their secret blown wide open by Geiger, Will and Francie make a startling discovery of their own as she prepares to open her new restaurant. After an airborne mission to recover something called a Server 47 dive, Sydney uncovers a crucial weakness, one that could bring down the entire Alliance. But to put her plan into action, she must tell Dixon the truth about everything when Jack is captured, and Dixon has to make the decision to reveal the security code... enabling the CIA to launch a world-wide offensive against all SD cells to bring down the Alliance for good.



Why it makes the cut: SD-6 is shut down, no more super secret double agent action for Sydney, the kiss, and the Francinator. All of this in the MIDDLE of the SECOND season? Very bold, Alias. Game changer.


Lost, “Pilot part 1 and 2” (season 1)

Forty-eight survivors of an airline flight originating from Australia, bound for the U.S., which crash-lands onto an unknown island 1000 miles off course, struggle to figure out a way to survive, why trying to find a way to be rescued.




Why it makes the cut: There were a lot of episodes in contention for this spot (Walkabout, Through the Looking Glass, Dead is Dead), but when it when all is said and done, we had to go back to the source. There’s no topping the episode that began this crazy journey.



Mad Men, “Shut the Door. Have a Seat” (season 3)

With another sale on the horizon, Sterling, Cooper, and Draper convince Lane Pryce to fire them and then join them as they start up a new advertising firm. At home, Betty follows through with her plans to divorce Don.




Why it makes the cut: Mad Men has a tendency to sometimes feel like you are waiting for something to happen, and waiting . . . and waiting . . . and then it smacks you in the face and says, “Oh, I’m sorry, were you looking for something? How about a completely new beginning?” It seems like the entire series so far has been leading us here. Plus Sterling Cooper Draper Pryce managed to get everyone we love into one hotel room of pure awesomeness.



House, “Three Stories” (season 2)

House's ex Stacy Warner asks him to treat her husband. House takes over a diagnostics class for a day and presents the class with three case studies of leg pain. As House tells his story and the class gradually fills up with listeners, the class learns a lot about how to be better doctors, and Chase, Foreman and Cameron learn some important details of House's past.




Why it makes the cut: Story telling at its very best. Cleverly written, brilliantly delivered, and bonus Carmen Electra. What more could you ask for?



Bones, “Aliens in the Spaceship” (season 2)

When Hodgins and Brennan are buried alive, it's a race against time and a kidnapper who doesn't negotiate.



Why it makes the cut: When Bones and Hodgins find themselves in mortal danger, emotions run high with everyone involved. This brought us somelovely Booth and Bones moments (that iconic image of him running across the sand to find her), Hodgins’ love for Angela was out on full display, and Zack got to be king of the lab and save the day (kind of). Episodes like this make us wish someone was moments from dying every week . . . but that would just be impractical, right?


Grey’s Anatomy, “Freedom” (season 4)

A surgical team battles the clock as they try to save a boy encased in cement, Karev's situation with an ever-disintegrating Ava brings back painful memories that interfere with his judgment, Derek and Meredith have one last chance at their clinical trial.




Why it makes the cut: House of candles (damn you for making us like Meredith!), Callie getting her kiss on with Hahn, and Bailey letting her geek flag fly with her calming Star Wars speech.



Fringe, “August” (season 2)

When a peculiar abduction occurs in Boston, the Fringe team uncovers details of the mysterious man known as The Observer. While the bizarre case takes center stage, Walter, Peter and Astrid hit the lab to analyze unusual evidence and deal with Walter’s insatiable appetite for a milkshake.





Why it makes the cut: This episode granted us our first intimate look into the most mysterious aspects of Fringe - the Observers. Didn't August just break your heart? Plus more Michael Ceveris is always a good thing.



Castle, “Vampire Weekend” (season 2)

As Halloween approaches, Castle and Beckett are called to a graveyard where the body of a young man sporting vampire fangs has been discovered with a wooden stake driven through his heart. Their investigation takes them deep into the heart of New York's underground vampire fetish community, where they learn that the motive for the victim's murder may be hiding within the pages of the graphic novel he was writing before his death.



Why it makes the cut: Richard Castle dressed up in a "space cowboy" (Malcom Reynolds) costume and being told by his daughter that it is so five years ago.



True Blood, “I Will Rise Up” (season 2)

Vampires and humans clean up in the aftermath of the explosion. Eric tricks Sookie into drinking some of his blood, much to Bill's dismay. As a result of the lapse in security, Godric's leadership falls under review but his response surprises everyone, especially Eric, who begs him not to go through with his plan. In Bon Temps, Maryann is out to find Sam Merlotte and complete the ritual sacrifice. She casts a spell on everyone in Sam's bar to get them to look for him. Lafayette and Tara's mother forcibly remove her from Sookie's house. Hoyt and Jessica get used to their situation and Hoyt decides it's time to introduce his true love to his vampire-hating mother.



Why it makes the cut: Whether you're a fan of Sookie/Bill or Sookie/Eric, there is no denying that the real romance of the series was between Godric and Eric. It's the roof top goodbye that lands this episode the top honor for the series, with some bonus Jessica/Hoyt/Hoyt's Mom action.



Veronica Mars, “Leave it to Beaver” (season 1)

In the shocking, action-packed first season finale, a determined Veronica must betray someone she cares deeply about in order to solve the mystery of who murdered her best friend Lilly, but what she discovers puts her life in serious danger. Meanwhile, Jake Kane asks Duncan if he really wants to know what happened on the night Lilly died, and Keith awaits the results of a paternity test.



Why it makes the cut: And that is how you close a season mystery, ladies and gentlemen. We're still reeling over Harry Hamlin being revealed as Lilly Kane's killer. Veronica locked in the refrigerator? Keith running through fire to rescue her? Perfection.

Top Ten Episodes of the Decade ~ Comedies

On this final day of the oughts, it seems only right that we should reflect upon all of the important moments this decade has brought us. In that spirit, we present to you our top episodes from some of our favorite comedies of 2000 – 2009. There’s noticeable favoritism towards recent years – possibly because they are just fresher in our minds – or maybe comedy has just gotten significantly better over the past few seasons. We’ll let you be the judge.

So now, in no particular order, we present:

The Shapusens' Top Ten Episodes of the Decade: Comedies

(episode summaries are lazily stolen from imdb.com)

30 Rock, “Episode 210” (season 2)

Jack asks Liz to deal with a group of German TV execs so he can spend more time with C.C. but Liz has fallen in love with a piece of real estate. Tracy buys a cappuccino machine and gets Kenneth addicted to caffeine.




Why it makes the cut: The final performance of “Midnight Train to Georgia” is pure genius.


How I Met Your Mother, “Slap Bet” (season 2)

The gang discovers that Robin's been hiding a huge secret, but they have no idea what it is. Marshall thinks she is married, and Barney thinks she was a porn star.





Why it makes the cut: Not only did this episode introduce us to the pure magic that is Robin Sparkles, but it also began one of the best running jokes of any series – the slap bet. For those of you keeping score, we’re at four slaps down, one to go.



Pushing Daisies, “Pie-lette” (season 1)

Ned uses his unique powers to bring his childhood crush, Chuck, back to life and solve her murder. But he is also forced to keep his distance from her, because if he touches her, she will be dead forever.





Why it makes the cut: While it’s true that other episodes certainly have some funnier moments, there will always be a special place in our hearts for the one that started it all.



Arrested Development, “Mr. F” (season 3)

The family's meeting with Japanese investors backfires big time when Tobias mistakes a real government agent for a talent agent. GOB tries to connect with his father, who is controlling a Surrogate. Meanwhile, Michael has another encounter with Rita's uncle, and Maeby's romantic comedy is a total flop.




Why it makes the cut: There are so many great moments in this episode, like Lucille screeching like Godzilla when she is out of vodka and the big reveal that Rita is a “MR F” (mentally retarded female), but it is the epic battle between mole and spaceman destroying the village in front of the Japanese investors that lands this solidly in the top.



Gilmore Girls, “Love, Daisies, and Troubadours” (season 1)

Lorelai is becoming seriously involved with Max just as she finds herself getting in the middle of another relationship when Luke's girlfriend Rachel accuses him of being in love with Lorelai. Meanwhile, Rory has her own romance drama and tries to work up the courage to win Dean back.




Why it makes the cut: Don’t get us wrong, we 100% support Luke and Lorelai as the one true paring of this series, but Max’s proposal with the room filled with daisies gets us everytime.



Modern Family, “En Grande” (season 1)

Why it makes the cut: The whole family comes out to support Manny's newfound interest - fencing. It turns out he's quite masterful in the sport, but Jay's proud enthusiasm triggers an old childhood wound for Mitchell. Meanwhile Phil is determined to find where Luke's hidden talents lie.




Why it makes the cut: Claire and Mitchell’s reenactment of their pairs figure skating routine from their childhood team “Fire and Nice”. Laughed. So. Hard.



Community, “Comparative Religion” (season 1)

Shirley throws a Christmas party for the gang and much to her surprise learns her classmates come from various religious backgrounds. Meanwhile, Jeff is challenged by the school bully and faces the reality that he may fail Spanish 101.




Why it makes the cut: Best version of Silent Night ever:

Sensible night, appropriate night.
Snow on ground, left and right.
Round yon purchase of decorative things.
Tolerant rewrite of carols to sing.
Function with relative ease,
Function with relative ease.




Better Off Ted, “Racial Sensitivity” (season 1)

Veridian comes up with an extremely insensitive solution to a problem with its motion sensors that do not detect black people, and Ted finds out that Linda now has a boyfriend who is extremely likable.




Why it makes the cut: First the motion sensors don’t detect Lem because he is black and he gets stuck in the lab all night, then he gets stuck in the elevator with other black employees because the sensors won’t recognize him. Next the company installs special manual devices for it’s black employees only. Finally they hire minimum wage white dudes to follow all of the black employees around everywhere they go so that new sensors will recognize them. To top it all off we’re treated with a Veridian Dynamics commercial celebrating cultural diversity, but it shows all only white people ending with the phrase “Diversity, Good for us!”



Chuck, “Chuck Versus The Ring” (season 2)

Chuck is given an opportunity to rid himself of the Intersect but will have to protect Ellie from Fulcrum on her wedding day.





Why it makes the cut: The greatest fight scene in the series accompanied by the dulcet tones of Jeffster performing Mr. Roboto, which is topped only by the final line of the episode “Guys, I know Kung Fu.”



Glee, “Acafellas” (season 1)

Will forms the Acafellas, an all-male acapella vocal group, and spends more time building his own confidence than he does with the glee club. In Will’s absence, the glee club decides to hire a well-known choreographer to help coach them to Nationals. Meanwhile, Mercedes is bitten by the love bug, but her feelings aren’t reciprocated. When the Acafellas perform for the P.T.A., they get a surprise visit backstage from Josh Groban.




Why it makes the cut: Who’s Josh Groban? Kill yourself!!!! I don’t know much about you, Josh Groban, but after this episode I know that you love a blousy alcoholic – and that is enough for me. Also the above pictured thumbs up cake given to the guy who just had both of his thumbs cut off in a shop accident . . . I am still laughing.

That makes ten! We’re holding a bonus eleventh spot open in honor of The Office, but we don’t feel qualified to pick an episode since we are only at the beginning of the third season. Personal favorites so far have included “The Injury” (season 2) and “Gay Witch Hunt” (season 3).

Keep an eye out for our top episodes in Dramas, as well as a very special category!

SYTYCD ~ And America's Favorite Dancer is . . .




Well, here we are at the end of what was undoubtedly the most awkward season of So You Think You Can Dance ever. In case Tuesday’s episode didn’t make you uncomfortable enough (with only being 1 hour long, having too many dancers, no solos, and no group or all boy or girl numbers), last night should really have fulfilled your “what just happened to my SYTYCD” quota.

Highlights included faulty microphones, a bewildered Cat when her babies weren’t reporting to the stage on cue, an injured Russell with the disappointing loss of several live performances (we had to watch video of the originals instead), awkward guest judges who we haven’t seen since auditions, and 4 musical performers that we had no interest in watching (JLo’s was lip sync hell, but she does at least get props for using girls from current and past seasons of SYTYCD). Was it the universe’s way of saying “DON’T EVEN THINK ABOUT DOING A FALL SEASON AGAIN. EVER.”? Methinks so.



Somehow amongst all the crazy they managed to name a winner. America’s favorite dancer of season 6 is . . .





Russell!!!

We admit that we were heavily rooting for Jakob or Kathryn, but we’re not totally bummed about Russell. We liked him from the beginning, and his versatility outside krumping was really impressive. But who else was surprised when he won and suddenly stopped leaning on people to begin jumping around and celebrating? We were so worried about him all episode and though that he was really really seriously injured. I guess the adrenaline kicked in?

Here’s the skinny on the injury straight from Russell to Eonline:

“I went to jump back up on stage during my three-man piece and I came down on my leg wrong. It got really numb and swollen and felt like something had gotten sprained.”

Like the rest of us, Russell was also bummed that he couldn’t perform for the rest of the finale.

"It hurt, but I was fine enough to walk, so I thought I could dance. After they tested me backstage, they told me I couldn't dance. That was the worst feeling because my family came all the way from Boston."

Well, at least his family got to hear his victory speech live and in person.

“Yeah! Yeah! I just want to thank everybody so much. This means everything to me. I’ve been dreaming of this ever since I was born. I just thank the judges so much for their criticism — you guys make me better as a person, as a dancer… I want to thank my parents, my mother, my father, my girlfriend’s over there, my little brother. I love all y’all.I messed my knee up… I mean my leg up.”



Throw in a few“God”s and a ripped t-shirt, and Season 6 was officially wrapped. We’re looking forward to SYTYCD’s return in the summer (so long as it stays in the summer – you hear that Fox?).
