Yes, please no crumping. That was not good.
Honestly, I wish they would be closer to the mix of the early seasons with more ballroom and less broadway.
I'd rather stay home and watch television. It's often funnier than killing stuff.

I continue to want a damn two-step that ISN'T that awful awful heinous one that Mark and Chelsie (?) did. Come ON people. Two step does NOT need to suck like that.
And was there ANY west coast swing this year? Why not?? (Hint: West Coast Swing CAN be sexy, it does NOT have to be all Benji-esque!!!)

I actually think Doriana was better this season than she's been since S1. I thought both the Janette/Brandon and the Kayla/Brandon discos were great fun. If I could eliminate anything it would be the frikkin' Paso, mainly because the choreographers refuse to actually choreograph one, or Broadway since they insist on using Tyce, a fine contemporary/lyrical/jazz choreographer who can't do Broadway pieces. And I agree, I'd love to see a good two step. I'd love to see them bring back the mambo, which they haven't done since S2 with Heidi and Benji.
Heck, I'd settle for some decent hip hop again. When a second rate NappyTab piece is the best that they can do for the finale, something is very wrong with the state of hip hop on this show. Oh, well. ABDC on Sunday.

During Benji's season, they chose the judges favorite dances based on the fact that the top 4 had so many injuries. They were in rough condition by the finale, so the fave dances were an odd mix.
I wonder if something similar happened last night.

what did I miss? who was injured?
I kinda can't believe neither Wade routine was used last night. Also kinda can't believe that top 4 group routine was Wade, that is the worst Wade I've ever seen.

Yeah, that was horrific.
I just realized they don't do "lyrical" anymore. Not that that's not a good thing since I never really understood the difference between that and contemporary anyway.
I agree that the two discos kat mentions were great fun. I'm happy to keep disco in the mix a few times a season.
Mostly, I just really wish they would actually draw partners and dances each week.

we should write in and demand to oversee the "drawing" process. big fat lying liars who lie.
I just had the horrific thought of Paula being a guest judge now that she is off AI. good googaly moogaly.
I kinda desperately want some group numbers to be done to classic video choreography. think of the hilarious possibilities.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
I think Paula and Mary together would be hilarious.
That could just be me though.

That sounds like ABDC!

Paula and Mary together might be hilarious if I were drunk and wearing earplugs.
I mean, my 5 year old has seen AI and SYTYCD and completely spontaneously asked what was wrong with Paula and Mary respectively. Paula she was like, "She's the woman who says "you rock!" to everyone. She's all, "I love you, I love you!" And Mary she was like, "Why is that woman screaming?"
