Does this mean I have to cancel my wedding plans? sniff It never even occurred to me that he might be into men. I always thought him and Katee looked like they could just get it on in the middle of the stage. He must just be that good of a dancer. sighs I hope seaguy is wrong, for once.

Mary has completely lost volume control, and Nigel seems supremely smug at times. What's also getting to me is that it seems like they talk for so looong now. Another thing--earlier this morning I read a comment about the bad camera work, especially during group numbers. ITA to that. Just shoot the stage from almost dead center and don't effing move the camera or switch cameras! Half the time I can't even tell who is who the camera is jumping around so fast, especially when they are in wigs, hats, etc. and the lighting is dim. It was annoying during AI, too. Must be the same camera crew. One good thing--last year Cat really wore out her "here are your (hand to ear) jidges!" She must have realized that schtick had worn thin and hasn't been doing it this year. Good for her.

And honestly, as annoyed as I am that Twitchington were set up to be the power couple...I have loved them so far, and I thought the contemporary number was beautiful...and Kherington did phenomenally with the Paso.

She knows when she is becoming a caricature of herself and tones it down unlike most of the judges this season. The judges would do good to take some pointers from Cat. Cat is just major <33333333 all around though.

Problem is, it is basically critic-proof. There were very few stylized moves (unlike the other contempo piece Mia did this week), and it was really hard to tell with some of the moves if they were right on or being incredibly sloppy.

I have a feeling that Mia didn't let Kherington do too much so that it didn't completely look like "Cedric on the stairs". If Kherington danced up a storm while Twitch sat on the bed flailing his arms and making faces, it would have really looked like they were protecting Twitch.

IT is just a clever piece in a competition like this, because the judges do not have choreographer's notes and the like. With a PAso, you KNOW when they are fucking up. With Jazz DAnce, it is similarly obvious. With most of contemporary, it is clear, as well... but this one was quite clever in the way that it looked like the laiziness might have been deliberate. Twitch seemed lazy in the piece whether or not the choreography meant him to be. Kher actually had some fire in her belly, which I appreciated. And yes, I think Twitch is way out of his league. He is appealing as all get out, but just not on the level his fans would have you believe.

I thought the bed piece was okay if not a little too literal. I think the judges here are better than most reality shows but they're starting to become characters. I'm also noticing how inconsistent Nigel is. I think he's always been this way but since they're already annoying me, I'm starting to notice it more. He told one person this week that he wasn't going to do that whole "you danced that routine well for a hip hopper , etc." thing (funny that he suddenly decided not to do this when he's been doing it all season) but then turned around and told some couple (I forget who) they were good for people out of their dance style.

The bed dance was MILES better than the crap Gev and Troll threw on the stage in the 2 dances that they did which were so memorable I had to look at the website to remember. SA, the correct response to his comment is "Die in a fire!"

I'll take those "NOT DANCING" comments back because in retrospect I was overreacting. I still think it was a thinly veiled attempt at dumbing down the routine for Twitch.

I know, but I'm allowed to be lazy when it's the 4th of July and having gone the whole month of June without a single Holiday! Anyways I didn't know this was all on wikipedia. Thanks Hanson for that tip. Josh/Katee's first routine "No Air" was supposed to be hip hop? I did think that was a contemporary routine.
