Best. Gay. Week. Ever. (October 3, 2008)

Dancing with the Stars: Lance & Lacey's modern, new-fangled dance moves are turning off the judges and I'm worried their middling scores so far could spell trouble a few weeks down the road. Also of concern, it looks like Cloris Leachman could be voted off next week and that would make the show a lot less interesting.

We're not sure about your fancy newfangled
dance moves, but nice arms, Lance!

Little Britain USA: I’m a big fan of the original British series, but this U.S. version seems sort of soulless — like it was done only for the money. Sure, there were some funny bits in the first episode, but almost all of those we're "redos" — lifting characters and exact situations from skits in their original British series. What little truly new material there was fell flat to me. The new stuff pokes fun at various aspects of American culture, but it wasn't very imaginative: a gun enthusiast who gets an erection every time he handles a semi-automatic; two steroid muscle men with tiny penises who don't know how homoerotic they are. All in all a disappointment. I say stick with the superior British version.

Shirts & Skins: They lost their big basketball game this week, sparks flew between Pete & Jamel, and the guys plan a bathing suit fashion show. Now I'm not much of a sports fan, but all the same I'm glad Logo (AfterElton.com's parent company) is running this show. The characters are interesting, and I'm picking up some basketball terminology by osmosis! Also, the guys have their shirts off a lot. If you missed this week's episode you can catch it here.

Project Runway: Jerell, our only remaining Team Gay contestant was sort of robbed this week. He won the challenge and should have been guaranteed a spot in the final three, but instead of sending home the week's clear loser, Kenley, the judges decide to task all four contestants with designing a Bryant Park collection. Only after they get a look at the collections will they eliminate someone. The upshot? Insane Kenley's still around and Jerrell still has to fight for his slot at Bryant Park. I don't care if Kenley makes for great TV, it's just not fair.

Kenley is still in the running

The Janice Dickinson Modeling Agency I'm going to quote our resident JDMA recapper Dan McCallum here because he perefectly sums it up: "The show sucked this week. Between all the flirting, childhood dramas and jealousy I can honestly say that for the first time in a long time, I could actually feel my brain fading away."
