Sooner or later, you're gonna want it. And the second — the second — that happens, you know I'll be there. I'll slip in, have myself a real good day.

"We have trust issues." Mylar

I could have had an entire night of Brandon/Janette myself. And I totally forgot that Asuka and Vitolio even performed that waltz last night. What a wasted pick. That one and Shankdaddy's pick of that NappyTab hip hop were just all kinds of head scratchingly wrong.

Maybe Wade's on punishment for the cheerleader routine?

Danger is my middle name, only I spell it R. u. t. h. - Tina Belcher.

I remember in the season 3 finale Sara was in 3 or 4 of the judges favorite dances! She so should have been in the top 4. *still bitter*

I'm not sure she was really top 4 material, but she was certainly one of my favorites. She also happened to be in very fun numbers.

"We have trust issues." Mylar

Sara was in a lot of fun numbers. I still have a lot of love for that old school hip hop number she did with Danny. I don't care that the judges didn't like it. The t-shirts with the puffy paint? Fat gold ropes? Kangol hats? Push It? I believe they even did the worm in that routine. Shane Sparks turned it out with that one.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."

Yay, Jeanine!

I managed to not get spoiled by dint of not going on the internet at all for two days until I was finally able to watch late last night. Totally pleased with both the result and how it went down. Thank goodness, America!

I was equally befuddled by some of the "favorites" choices. I definitely think there were some weaker pieces this year overall, so the finale was a bit subdued. But I really enjoy seeing the dancers redo the choreography, especially with dancers like Jeanine who have blossomed so much during the process. They're a different dancer from when they started, and they bring a different energy to an established piece.

I know that the dancers want a chance to show what they do, themselves. But I wish there was room in the program for choreographed solos too. I think we would learn a lot about a dancer by how she responds to an individual choreographed piece of material.

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."

I forgot that she was the one with the tumor in her elbow. Great interview for Jeanine here:

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I think I'm actually going to enjoy the rest of the season of Big Brother.

It really makes everything better! And Jeff can get rid of Jessie this week! Or Natalie!
