The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.

there were some very nice dancers tonight.

There really were.

How many people normally go to Vegas? They said 152 this time, I think.

Hey, did you see that they are rerunning ANTM on Fridays again?

Jakob Karr!! Oh, how I adore that kid. He is a monster. I just love him.

It would seem that the show did well in the south. 152 in Vegas? They're going to outgrow the hotel soon.

I would highly doubt that girl in the clip was pantyless. As much as young contemporary dancers love the HMV, they don't dare go commando.

Jakob Karr!! For real. I think I might love him the most thus far.

I was quite ticked off at Shankman when he said that the performing arts pairs dancer should go to choreography, and Mary and Lil C were correct in sending her straight to Vegas. If they can send b-boys straight to Vegas on the strength of their stunts without looking at how they work with a partner at all, they definitely did not need to see how she worked with "another" partner. That was ridiculous on his part.

Loved some of those male dancers last night!! The guy in the green tank who had those amazing midair splits (wish we had seen more of his audition!) is one I'm hoping they feature more in Vegas.

Thrive to spite them

I really liked seeing Shankman demonstrate all the things they didn't want to see. Esp the Arms to Nowhere.

I love Shankman to pieces. Love him.

Because books.

That was pretty funny.

Was he a contestant once? Remember, last season was my first, so I still have newbie questions.

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

Shankman? no.

Shankman was the director/choreographer for Hairspray (the remake) and amongst other choreography jobs worked on a little thing called "Once More with Feeling" for a certain tv show.

Because books.

Was another one of the judges/choreographers a former contestant?

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

choreographers, yes. several have been former contestants. Travis, Benji, Pasha & Anya (I hate her blonde hair with the hate of 10,000 suns) shows up from time to time (he shows up when people have to do "choreography"), Lauren (much hated) shows up.
