Chelsie Hightower is the fucking bomb. Best female dancer this season. Anyone that thought Mark outdanced and out performed her last night has fucking
cataracts (or is hoping gay Mark will marry them in real life). Mark had a "what the fuck" look in both his dances last night.

I wasn't impressed with the Mia Michaels bed dance only because I didn't like the literal interpretation of the music (throwing roses around the bed
right as the lyrics mention it). It was very un-Mia like. Eh, I don't know, it just came off as a tad cheesy and heavy handed.
Ugh, Nigel, just die already. He's trying way too hard to be funny and witty with his one-liner insults (WTF was up with Santa Claus's grotto and Cinderalla gone ugly?). Douchebag.

I dont fault Nigel one bit for micromanaging the season up to this point. They only have control up to f10 why not use it? We all know what happens when a
bunch of fuckingretarded tweenie boppers have complete control over a season. Good dancers go home, cheesy popular dancers stay. Im glad Nigel is protective
over someone like Will. Will is deep. He's not a cheese monster. The teenies just dont get him. So controlling the season for the first half and pimping
out the good dancers is cool with me. This way Will's personality has time to be cultivated and the teenies have time to get to know him.
Anyway, Mark doesnt need us to stick up for him. He could handle Nigel on his own. Mark is a God, Nigel is just a puny, weasly man. |

Mark is a God, Nigel is just a puny, weasly man. I must say I'm glad Nigel bothered to actually critique tonight even though A) he didn't critique everyone (I think the West Coast Swing deserved some more commentary), B) he was a jerk to certain people, and C) he knows absolutely nothing about hip-hop. I much prefer him critiquing than the bullshit that passes for judging on American Idol. That said, he's still annoying. Dial Idol Scores (in case anyone is interested) --> raw votes usually have more prediction value but the results are often not completely right (it'll get 2 out of 3) |

Again repeating my caveat that this is my first season watching: Easily the two biggest drags on this show (and source of most complaints) are Nigel
& Mary. I understand that he controls so much of it, he's going nowhere, but the comment about her having his microballs in an iron grip seems
spot-on, since there's really no way her shit would otherwise be tolerated. Last night I sensed a real loathing of each other between them, too. Do we
have any clues as to the true nature of their satanic collusion?

Nigel made Mary a permanent judge after season one. Love her or hate her she is talked about and gets people to watch. If you ask the casual viewer what they
know about the show chances are they will say either Mary Murphy (that crazy lady) or Mia Micheals (that short haired choreographer chick.) Hate Nigel all you
want but he runs a hell of a good show.

RAN. It started out awesome. He is running the risk of the show becoming a parody of itself, these days.

Somebody must have made this comparison by now -- but when I look at Thayne, all I ever see is Just Jack:

Yeah I mean maybe it is time for him to take a step back. Let things fall where they may.
I just hate that they so blatantly diss Jessica/Kourt/Matt/Thayne/Comfort. Even if those couples do well they never get a break cut for them. The overly blatant pimpage needs to stop. Judge every dance for what it is. |

It sort of undermines the winner when there are so many mechanisms in place to ensure that win. Even if I'm ultimately happy with who wins, I can't
help but feel that it was undeserved because Nigel stepped on so many people to make it happen.
Fuckin' A - Will's going to win isn't he? I like him but the constant pimping gets irritating.

Man, Jessica just cannot catch a break. They put her down while blowing smoke up Will's ass, claiming he's a dancing deity who's gracing us with
his presence. I thought she more than held her own in the Jive and Lyrical Jazz routines. I don't think she's the worst dancer there, not with Kourtni
and Comfort still around. To Will's credit, he did look offended on Jessica's behalf when they were criticizing her.
Speaking of Kourtni, I thought she was terrible on the hip-hop, yet they went easy on her and beat up Matt, who's the male Jessica. I think if they end up in the bottom 3 again, they are definitely gone, which is too bad because I would take Matt over Thayne and his perma-grin, which is just as, if not more annoying as Kherington's. Kherington outdanced Twitch on the Paso Doble, and I was cracking up at the bed head during the Contemporary routine. I see what Mia was trying to do with this piece; Twitch was supposed to be a guy who had his heart broken and Kherington was the girl who broke his heart and is appearing in his dream as an entity that Twitch couldn't grab. I enjoyed the story part of it, in spite of it being literally choreographed to the lyrics almost verbatim. I just didn't care for the dancing, whatever little of it there was in the piece. I thought the tossing of the roses was unnecessary. Someone needs to permanently prohibit Mia from using flowers in her pieces. I enjoyed watching Courtney in their hip-hop routine, Gev not so much. Courtney looked like she was out there having fun whereas Gev looked to me like he was overthinking the steps. Their Broadway routine could have been a lot better than it actually was. Nigel was just unsufferable, even moreso than he usually is. He tries to come off as SYTYCD's version of Simon, but Simon has a certain charm to him while Nigel completely lacks any charm or humor. He's one judge who I wouldn't miss if he were to be replaced. |

Oh dear.
While I don't think Thayne is the most exciting dancer on earth, and that smile is enough to make anyone want to smash him in the face with a mallet, I
think he's a better dancer than Gev who I think is useless.

To tell you the honest truth, and it appears we agree, could deal with them cutting all the couples except Mark and Chelsie and Joshua and Katee (though
joshua really disappointed in the West Coast Swing last night). Kherington is back to guest star status for me. Twitch fell a few nothces. Still don't
get Will... he lacks charisma, though has the moves. Matt is adorkable but useless... Kortni and Courtney I can never remember... you get the drill.
eta: disappointed, not sisappointed, though that may have been a freudian slip) |

Nigel & Mary some slack. Just know that, from the point of view of someone watching for their first season, his arrogance and pomposity seem completely
and utterly unfounded. My jaw drops several times each show at how obviously he thinks he's the shit and knows everything ABOUT everything. Similarly,
based solely on behavior and appearance, Mary seems like some insufferable suburban shrew who lives at the Dress Barn and lords it over her weekly jazzercize
class out at the mall.
