SYTYCD: 16 Dancers Dancing

So You Think You Can Dance: Top 16 Dance
I didn't get to comment on last week's elimination, so I'll do a little of that now. I can't say I was sad to see Suzi go. I was a bit confused by the choice to kick off Marquis, because his solo performance was the first time yet that I saw any appeal to him at all. I thought his solo was easily the best of anyone's, but I guess that means I fell for all the "tricks." And, personally, I'd have gladly shown Thayne the door as soon as I got the opportunity.

After the first two eliminations, it seems fairly clear that the judges like to kick off both halves of a couple at once, instead of forcing two 'widows' to form a new partnership. I'm not really sure why, because new couples can be interesting.

Cat looks like she's getting married tonight. And she has some seriously big hair.

Travis and Lacey are going to be dancing in Keri Russell and Adam Sandler's "Bedtime Stories"? That's awesome!

Kherington and Twitch (hip hop): This is a long intro to the dance--I see we're really stretching the content to fill 2 hours. I liked the parts of this routine where they were actually dancing, but there was also a fair amount of posing, posturing, and making faces that I could have done without. I enjoyed the facial expressions Kherington was making during the side-by-side dancing--she went beyond the typical "gangster" face. I think Kherington did raise her hip hop dancing up to a high level.

Courtney and Gev (rumba): Courtney handled her dress getting caught on her heel at the beginning of the routine well. This routine's somewhat boring. I guess the rumba's kind of boring in general. I remember that I thought Sabra and Dominic's rumba last year was boring too. Hey, speaking of Dominic, there he is in the audience. And, yes, Courtney's half-a-dress is distracting; I guess they thought that a bold costuming statement was necessary to keep the audience awake.

(The judges are acting even more drunk than usual tonight, I think. Nigel and Mary suggesting that Adam says too much is definitely the pots calling the kettle black.)

Comfort and Chris (jazz): Comfort was in a beauty pageant?! Ha! Oh, good, earthy jazz! (I'm actually serious about liking earthy jazz--Travis and Heidi's season 2 earthy routine was great.) I think Comfort's dong a really good job of selling this; Chris might be a little over-the-top, or perhaps not earthy enough. Overall, I liked it--which means the judges probably didn't. Yep, I was right. Why do I never agree with them anymore? I do also like Chris' eye makeup ;-)

Jessica and Will (disco): Oh no, disco! I don't even wish disco on Jessica. Ugh, I take that back; I can't stand her. Wow, Will is really going for this whole-hog--that takes guts. Yeah, Will's still leaving Jessica in his dust, and I'd say it's worse this week than last week. There was nothing captivating about her at all during this. I love how Nigel always has to apologize for the disco routines and tell us how great Doriana is. If the routine's were really that great, we'd notice. Shocker, I disagree with Mary--Jessica did not step up to the plate.

Kourtni and Matt (contemporary): Matt wears a ninja mask?! That's bordering on Seth Cohen-esque there. Wow, guest choreographer Sonya has a serious mohawk! Ooh, a comic book dance? Seth Cohen would like this. This "contemporary" is definitely unlike any other contemporary routine we've seen on this show. It's has some hip hop overtones, and it's not deep and dark and about unrequited love. Kourtni's yellow eye shadow is fantastic. Ok, I agree with the judges for the first time tonight: I'm also buying the quirky, weird contemporary.

Chelsea and Thayne (quick step): Ahh, the first quick step of the season...let's hope it helps to get rid of Thayne. Could someone please turn him down about several thousand notches? Geez. I do like Chelsea's shiny, sparkly dress. I'm not actually seeing a whole lot of quick steps here... Ok, here we go; it's definitely better when they're actually quick stepping instead of posturing in the same spot of the floor. Nigel's right; Thayne's omnipresent jumbo smile is insufferable.

Chelsie and Mark (hip hop): Wait, Chelsie's hip hopping in that outfit? But it's not baggy pants and a corset! And Mark's in a suit! I'm confused... Hip hop about a work-a-holic? Really? I couldn't be a hip hop choreographer--I don't have enough cool hats. I think Mark's doing quite a good job. Whoa, the part toward the end where his movements were directing her movements (yeah, I didn't describe that well...Nigel called it "the manipulation of her") was awesome. If I ran this show, I'd put a moratorium on Mary saying the words "hard-hitting."

Katee and Joshua (samba): Katee only got a half-a-dress too. Joshua looks nothing like a hip hop dancer while he's doing this--he definitely looks classically trained. Katee looked kind of like Kristi Yamaguchi during this dance. Joshua's pants are quite tight. Anyway, they did a good job--not my favorite routine ever though. Good choice for a couple to end the show, however; these guys have turned into a sure thing.

My Favorites:
Kourtni and Matt
Comfort and Chris
Chelsie and Mark/Katee and Joshua

Probably in Trouble:
Chelsea and Thayne
Jessica and Will (unless Will's hot Travolta move saved them)
and maybe Courntney and Gev (it wasn't that memorable)

SYTYCD: 18 Dancers Dancing

So You Think You Can Dance: Top 18 Dance

Opening thoughts:

• Suzi's pants in the intro were horrific.
• I can barely recognize Kournti Lind with her hair like that.
• Mia's got platinum hair!
• Mia thinks this season is going to be "banoodles." Ha, that's a great word.

Thayne and Chelsea (jazz): Thayne needs to not do impressions of Chelsea; that's not necessary. Ugh, strike that: Thayne needs to not talk at all. Ever. Chelsea's lipstick color could be better. As could this routine; it seems like a succession of poses and not a whole lot of dancing. Something definitely doesn't work about it, but I'm not sure I can identify what. Oh, good, Mia agrees with me. Yea! Mia's going to actually be mean to people! Whoa, Mary's even complaining about this one. I guess the judges decided they were too nice last week. Honestly, upon reflection, that might be one of my least favorite SYTYCD routines ever--it was just really boring.

Mark and Chelsie (Argentine tango): Benji and Heidi had fewer problems with pretending to be romantic than these two, and they were cousins. Is the camera work different this season, or something? Is that why I think everything looks a little weird? This is good; Chelsie's swirly leg kicks are pretty, and Mark looks very Latin and intense. I think there were parts here and there that could have been smoother. Oh no, Chelsie's shoe was coming off--that's no good at all. Mark does kind of look like a classic movie star tonight; eesh, I actually agree with Mary about something. Hmm, I also agree with Nigel: it would have been nice if it were a bit sleazier ;-)

Will and Jessica (hip hop): It's nice of Will to try to explain to me what the best thing about Jessica is, because I haven't figured that out yet. Yes, Jessica, "America is able to relate to hip hop," but the tango is completely beyond us... Doesn't anyone do hard-hitting hip hop anymore? I think the synchronization was a little off at times, and the song was annoying, but I guess it was okay. Jessica did better than she did last week--at least her facial expressions weren't so blatantly wrong. Now Mary's being hard on Jessica after ignoring how iffy she was last week.

Kournti and Matt (fox trot): Ouch, that's a tough draw. When has anyone ever "changed their fortunes" for the better with a fox trot? Oh, I like this a lot already. These two are good at the Fred Astaire/Grace Kelly thing. Ooh, that last pose was really cool too. At least Mia likes poor Matt. Mary's being super harsh this week to make up for how stupidly happy she was about everything last week.

Gev and Courtney (contemporary): Courtney talks to the camera like she's speaking to a 2-year-old. I wonder if Mandy Moore's contemporary choreo is going to sink these two like her last two jazz numbers have. There are some super cool lifts in this one. That was good; nothing groundbreaking, but a nice, old-school love story contemporary routine. Wait, Mia thinks Courtney "jazz-i-fied" it; but what does that mean? I do agree that Gev was good in this--much better than last week.

Joshua and Katee (Broadway): Let's see how last week's golden children do this week. Joshua is good at doing turns for a hip hopper. Well, that didn't particularly change my opinion that the Broadway numbers are never the coolest, but it was definitely one of the better SYTYCD Broadway numbers ever. They performed the routine very well. Katee definitely is way better than I originally realized. I think she's a force.

Marquis and Suzi (salsa): WHAT IS ON SUZI'S HEAD?! Marquis is a goofball? Who knew? This routine wasn't nearly as good as the salsa that Benji and Heidi did in the season two finale. I did notice Marquis this week, and I didn't last week, so I guess that's good. I didn't think it was as bad as the judges did though. Suzi's outfit wasn't doing her any favors either. I think the routine was a little t0o ambitious for these two at this stage of the competition.

Twitch and Kherington (Viennese waltz): Twitch wears fake glasses, ha. These two get to do the night's "very special routine." I like their costumes (not sure why Twitch's shirt is hanging open though). Fantastic lift. This is an interesting waltz in that K isn't in heels and it's kind of like a waltz/contemporary hybrid. Hmm, Mia says K smiled too much (I would have liked that comment a few times last week). Twitch did do a good job too--he didn't look like a b-boy.

Chris and Comfort (krump): He he, just the thought of Chris krumping makes me giggle. I don't know, I think he's doing okay though. His krump doesn't look quite as natural as Comfort's does, but I think he's getting there. I agree with Mia; he pulled it off. Nigel and Mary clearly don't agree with me. Okay, we need to trim this show down by at least a half an hour, because these judges have waaaaay too much time to blab.

My favorites:
Chelsie and Mark
Kourtni and Matt

Probably in trouble:
Chelsea and Thayne
Suzi and Marquis

My Boys: Failure To Transition

My Boys: The Transitioning
Well, I called it! (Technically, I guess I just said who I wanted it to be, but whatever--I'm taking credit for it.) P.J. chose Bobby! Yea! Of course, Bobby didn't seem to know that she chose him to be anything more than a traveling buddy. Oops.

And, thus, My Boys was back to start its, um, second or third season (I'm not sure anyone really knows which one it is). Before discussing the episode further, can I just say how annoying it is that TBS is now airing My Boys opposite the second half of the So You Think You Can Dance results show? My Boys aired on Mondays last summer, and that was so much more convenient. I mean, come on, why make it so hard on me?

Back to P.J. and Bobby: Well, she made the right choice, but a fat lot of good that did her. Absolutely nothing came of it at all, as P.J. couldn't find the right opportunity to "transition" her friendship into a romantic relationship. And so--in one episode, mind you--P.J. decides that she's over Bobby and abandons the whole darn thing. Which seems strangely familiar because it's exactly what happened with her and Brandon during the last season premiere. Why does P.J. always try to convert one of "her boys" into her boyfriend in the season finale episode, only to have it completely peter out in the first episode of the next season? It's becoming a pattern and it's a little disturbing. Will Kenny be next?

Perhaps all is not lost completely though, because Bobby did seem rather peeved when P.J. acted like sleeping with him would be so ridiculous. (Although, if he didn't want her to think that way, he probably shouldn't have whipped out the sleeping mask and mouth guard on the airplane.)

A thank you goes out to Steph for pointing out that trying to start relationship with her "friend" and then giving up has become a theme with P.J. And even P.J. admitted that she has a problem, saying, "When I figure out how to transition a friendship to a relationship, I'll write a book." To be fair, P.J. doesn't do a particularly great job of transitioning a relationship into a relationship either. She seems to have commitment issues in general, a la Meredith Grey. Or, perhaps, the root of the problem is that the writers want to her remain single so as to not upset the confines of the show.

Speaking of the confines of the show, this episode's best development was that P.J.'s voice over did NOT include an annoying, cliched, clumsy baseball metaphor. Hallelujah! (Not to toot my own horn again, but I also have previously said that the metaphors needed to go.)

Unfortunately, the use of a voice over in general didn't get the kabosh too. The voice over is still absolutely unnecessary. In this episode, it didn't tell us a darn thing that we haven't already figured out for ourselves. Jordana Spiro may have been on One World (I pulled that reference out of nowhere, huh?), but that doesn't mean she isn't a good enough actress to show us in her face that she is sad without having to also tell us, "I am sad." We get it.

Highlights:

• Steph: "What exactly did you say?"
  P.J.: "Uh, I think I said, 'Hey, how about coming to Italy with me?' Then I might have said, 'dude.'"
  
• I can't believe the waitress fell for Mike hitting on her using "the McConaughey." It was repulsive!
  
• Romantic aspirations aside, bringing Bobby on the trip to Italy was genius--he's rich and he's like a walking travel guidebook.
  
• Steph: "And you should have seen this fleabag place I had to stay in! I mean, there's charm and then there's dirt."
  
• Bobby: "I don't even know him, and I haven't talked to a man in like two weeks."
  
• P.J.: "Maybe we shouldn't have goals."
  
• Andy: "This is my new car... This watch is new. What else is new?"
  P.J.: "You started tying a sweater around your neck."
  
  
• Brandon's adult contemporary radio voice is hilarious.
  
  

SYTYCD: Thinning Out the Field

So You Think You Can Dance: First Elimination Show
My thoughts:
Wow, the celebration from Chelsie, Mark, Chelsea, and Thayne when Cat announced they were all safe was WAY over the top. I'm getting the feeling that the producers must have really impressed on the contestants that they have to act extremely excited at all times. It's beginning to look like a dancing contest between cartoon characters.

It just now just occurred to Nigel et. al. that pulling someone's pants down in the middle of a dance routine might have offended people?

Does Jessica have an ankle brace on or is she wearing just one sock?

I KNEW it was going to be Jessica and Will in the bottom three instead of Courntey and Gev! I think Will and Jessica got backlash from the viewers because the judges seemed so over-the-top in love with them.

Dan's correct: the judges were too easy on several of the dancers.
Dan's incorrect: Jessica was one of those dancers.

It's nice that SYTYCD is introducing us to different members of the dancing community every week. That's very educational. And much easier to sit through than performances by the Pussycat Dolls... (And, damn, the Pussycat Dolls are horrific.)

Bottom 3 Girls:
Kourtni, Rayven, Jessica

Bottom 3 Guys:
Matt, Jamie, Will

The solos:
Kourtni Lind: Looks like she's wearing a negligee. Hmm, well, that was all right. Nothing to write home about though.

Matt: Wearing long shorts. He's got to be scared after Nigel's stick/butt comment last night. I liked this solo--he has great technique and did interesting, beautiful moves. It reminded me of Danny from last season, and the judges went gaga over him.

Rayven: Wearing God only knows what... Looks like a evil doll or something. That wasn't my favorites solo either.

Jamie: Wearing a baby blue silk shirt. He performed a fairly standard male ballroom dancer solo, but at least he brought a certain gusto to it.

Jessica: Wearing a very short, but quite pretty, floral (?) dress. Other than the two back handsprings, she sure didn't do a whole lot of anything.

Will: Wearing manpris. Well, he's safe. His solo was head and shoulders better than anyone else's. It actually looked like he had planned out what he was going to do,and it was interesting, innovative, entertaining, and showcased some difficult dance moves. Go Will!

My picks:
Girls: Honestly, after these solos, they could kick all three of them out and I wouldn't mind. I did like Kourtni yesterday, though, so I'd get rid of either Rayven or Jessica.

Guys: Will's safe. I thought Matt's solo was great, so that means Jamie's got to go.

Judges' decision:
Girls: Kourtni's safe. Hmm, the judges don't seem to think Jessica's the girl to beat tonight...but Rayven's going home. So much for being the oldest competitor. Yeah, after reviewing her old footage, she should have gone for the point work tonight--that, at least, would have been different.

Guys: Will's safe (duh). Now the age-old debate between personality (Jamie) and technique (Matt). Matt stays. Good. Nigel makes it sound like the judges came dangerously close to making the wrong decision on this one. I don't really see how Matt has any less personality than Danny did at this point last season. What the hell does Nigel mean that only this one time they'll pick dance ability over personality? Last time I checked this was a dance contest--it's not called So You Think You Have a Personality.

Jamie looks considerably more sad to go than Rayven. Rayven still looks like she's having the time of her life...she must have taken the producer's "be perky" instructions very seriously.

SYTYCD: 20 Dancers Dancing

So You Think You Can Dance? The Top 20 Dance
I just read on Blogging SYTYCD that apparently Heidi got married recently. Congratulations, Heidi! I wonder if she choreographed her wedding dance. Maybe she taught her fiance the bench dance? Well, actually, I guess that one doesn't really have the right tone for a wedding...oh well.

Onto my chronological account of tonight's show...

Wow, it seems like there are an awful lot of dancers up there.

So we have to keep track of two Courtneys (spelled differently) and Chelsies (spelled differently)? And what kind of a name is Kherington? Comfort? Thayne? And speaking of names, why are all their names spelled so oddly (Kourtni, Katee, etc.)? Are they really spelled like this or did the producers change them?

Good call on starting the season off with Dan as the third judge, because they need someone who will be mean.

I agree with Dan; I have no idea who the early front runners are.

Oh no, we're already resorting to filler. We've just watched 3 weeks worth of audition shows--we don't need to see anymore. Please.

Rayven and Jamie: Rayven is the oldest competitor at 28. Jamie is kind of annoying--where do these West Coast Swing people come from? Eesh, why did they have her pull off his pants? This seems like the longest routine in SYTYCD history! Yeah, I don't think this routine is very memorable...I've forgotten it already. Mary seems especially bizarre and over-the-top tonight. Thank you, Dan, for pointing out the performance's lack of funk. Why are these two way more animated during the reading of their phone number than they were during their actual performance?

Susie and Marquis: This girl is a high school teacher?! It seems like a lot of the contestants this year have family issues; that's not good. Susie is sooo much easier to take when she's fully clothed. Susie's leg extensions are nice. The lift at the end was a little rocky. Oh, Nigel, I knew they didn't get the lift right--thanks for giving me so little credit.

Kourtni and Matt: I like these two already. 5 foot 9 and 6 foot 3! Can't say I really understand what makes something "jazz." I think Matt's stealing the show here. Diamond dust? Whatever... Nigel just said Matt looks like there's a broomstick shoved up his ass; that was way harsh. Cat: "On a personal note, I feel almost normal-sized!"

Chelsea and Thayne: I'd like Chelsea better if she wore longer shorts and shirts. Thayne got made fun of because he danced and not because of, well, being a "Thayne"? Well, you can kind of tell that they're not ballroom dancers, but they're doing pretty well. Thayne has a gigantic smile. Melanie, the choreographer, just looks glad that no one got sick so she didn't have to dance this one.

Chelsie and Mark: What would Tim Burton's wedding be like? Oh, Mia... Yeah, this is weird... No wonder Mark couldn't understand what he was supposed to be doing--he's acting like a bird. Chelsie's dress is great for dancing. All the lifts were innovative and fantastic. Is Chelsie's eye makeup supposed to be all messed up? I can't tell if that's part of the Tim Burton look or not. Dan: "[Mia] asks you do go someplace and I have no idea where that is, but I assume that's where you went."

Kherington and Twitch: K's costume is losing feathers. I'm so never a big fan of the Broadway numbers. I feel like they were dancing the heck out of it (esp. K at the very end), and it just doesn't work that well for some reason. I do agree that Kherington is pretty great--even if her name is extremely cumbersome.

Comfort and Chris: Comfort is funny. Chris seems like a nice fellow. These two get my seal of approval. Yea, a jive! Comfort is using somewhat unconventional facial expressions during this routine. I liked this performance--Comfort did a pretty good job for a hip hop dancer. Comfort: "You ain't never seen me in no bra and panties and beads!" Ha! Eesh, Comfort dislocated her shoulder and is still going! How Elise Ray of her.

Katee and Joshua: I feel badly for Joshua for getting saddled with Katee after she dug herself into a huge hole during the top 20 selections. Well, at least Katee is apparently a fast reader... Gotta say, Katee is actually really good at this style of dance--way better than I was expecting. Ooh, the jacket switch at the end was cool. That hip hop routine was way better than the first hip hop routine (in both choreography and performance). Natalie's here! She seems like such a sweet girl.

Jessica and Will: I like Will. Not sold on Jessica though. I think Will looks great; Jessica's facial expressions are off though...she's smiling at the wrong times and then not smiling and then hitting a smile really fast, and it just looks weird. The lift at the end was cool. Did someone tell Mary she couldn't say anything negative at all tonight? "Couple to beat"?! Come on. I'd say Will's one of the stand out boys so far, but Jessica wasn't nearly as noteworthy as the other girls we've seen so far. Along with Rayven, she's in fact among the most forgettable.

Courtney and Gev: Gev is from Kazakhstan--that's interesting. He really doesn't have much of an accent at all. Hmm, disco...that's always hit or miss. Yep, Courtney is better than Jessica too. This routine is pretty classic, stereotypical disco, but it's fun. Nigel picks now to start being mean? Come on. See--even Dan liked it.

Overall, I don't think I was as impressed by this year's top 20 as I was with last year's. Not that any of them were bad, but I wasn't really stunned by anything either.

My favorites:
Kourtni & Matt's jazz
Chelsie & Mark's contemporary
Comfort & Chris's jive
Will (& Jessica)'s tango

People who might be in trouble tomorrow night:
Rayven, Jamie, Marquis, Jessica

Greek: Springing Forward, Looking Back

Greek:
"Spring Broke"
Well, it's (finally) time for the season finale of Greek. It seems like this second semester arc has been going on for a long time, doesn't it? My theory is that the writer's strike has made TV viewers completely uncomfortable with a non-shortened 20+ episode season. It's like we don't know what to do with ourselves now when we get more than 13 episodes of something.

Anyway, as for Greek, I haven't particularly been feeling its last few episodes. I haven't blogged about them either, mainly because I was on vacation during one of them and the sound quality of my tape of another ep was so bad that it sounded like everyone was talking under water. Tonight's finale was all right--not my favorite episode ever, but it definitely had some parts worth seeing.

Before I comment on anything else, however, I must say how much it bothers me that it is supposedly just now Spring Break. I mean, come on. This is the 12th episode of the second semester. Spring Break takes place at most two months after the spring semester begins. So everything in the second half of the season took place in less than two months? I can't believe that's possible. (Didn't Frannie have to undergo a several week waiting period before moving back into the ZBZ house?) Whatever, I'm over it.

No, wait, I'm not over it. Namely because ending the season at Spring Break leaves us with at least a month of the semester that will be unaccounted for. If that month is anywhere near as eventful as the last two seem to have been, we'll miss an awful lot of stuff.

In other news, you can tell its an arc premiere or finale because Casey and Cappie made out and nothing came of it. I was glad that Casey acknowledged to Ashleigh that we've heard this story "a hundred times before," because I was thinking the same thing. Everytime Casey breaks up with one of her boys, she talks a good game about moving on and being independent, but then immediately just heads over to the other boy to see what he's up to. Trading in Evan's "10 year plan" for Cappie's "plan-less living" is not being independent.

Ultimately, I would have felt cheated if Cappie and Casey had actually gotten back together because Rebecca flipped out and dumped him. If Cappie and Casey were half the ideal, super couple that the show tends to paint them as, then Cappie needs to figure out for himself that he belongs with her and not Rebecca. No easy way outs should be necessary.

By far the best part of the episode was Rusty and Calvin making up, thanks to the thoughtful (and hilarious) meddling of Dale. Go Dale. What a sweetie he is. And the Rusty/Calvin/Dale combo can pack quite the comedic triple threat.

Recap:

• Dale: "Have fun perpetuating stereotypes of wasted, reckless youth, Rusty."
• They're all going to Myrtle Beach? What happened to Mexico or somewhere more wild than South Carolina? I guess I'm jaded from watching too many debauchery-laden trips to T.J. on The O.C. and Veronica Mars.
• Casey had to make hotel reservations for her whole sorority? Can these girls do nothing for themselves?
• I'm glad Beaver threw Rusty's bag off the bus; I'd feel bad if it had been anyone else's.
• Ashleigh's wannabe boyfriend is hot, but could probably stand to take a few more acting lessons.
• Evan's got a nice haircut. I guess he doesn't wear ties on Spring Break :-(
• Nice of Calvin to try to keep Evan from hooking up with Frannie.
• Casey (to Cappie): Is anyone easier than you?
• Ha! Rusty's wearing a Myrtle Beach sweatshirt.
• I was wondering what Cappie was thinking with his beach run as well. Way too much effort.
• Casey (when Rusty expressed disappointment with the realities of Spring Break): "It's the New Year's Eve syndrome; you can never live up to the hype. I blame the media."
• Ha--Rusty complained about not having a travel guide. I don't know if the Eyewitness Guide has a Myrtle Beach edition. There must be a Frommers or Fodors.
• Girl: "Well, my friend thinks you're cute."
  Calvin: "Yeah, no..."
• Well, at least Frannie is better than those two girls who talk in unison. Eesh. They were scary.
• Frannie's playing Evan hot and cold.
• Rental Car Lady: "What color are your eyes?"
  Rusty: "My eyes?"
  Rental Car Lady: "That's why I thought."
  Rusty: "Damn it!"
• Ok, why was that guy so angry about Rebecca leaving the wet T-shirt contest? There were at least four other girls with bigger boobs still on the stage.
• Dale's back!!! I love that he's Rusty's ride.
• Dale: "Apparently my mom's been hitting the firing range pretty hard and has developed quite an ego."
• Cappie was an anatomy major! That's one of the show's major mysteries, right? Well, technically, we still don't know what his current major is, since he just said what he is switching it from.
• Calvin: "Look, either turn off the music or leave us out here to die!"
  Rusty: "The sad thing is that I know the words to that song."
  
• Calvin: "Since when did ambition become such a terrible attribute?"
  Dale: "I think in the '80s!"
