Weren't the tutus this season, or at least some of the tutus?
Right, there comes a point where you have to either move on, or just buy yourself a Klingon costume and go with it.

"We have trust issues." Mylar
I admit there have been a few missteps. The skiing bank robbers from last night. The Sonya tutu number for the girls on the very first Meet the Top 20 show. But honestly, they have been soooo much worse. Time was when practically every costume was just crispy crazy. This season I can only think of a few that have pinged me as "Hell to the Naw" and a bunch that I've thought were really appropriate for the dance. Even the Ryan/Ellenore good angel/bad angel costumes, while kind of WTF, were appropriate for the dance. Remember the bad old days of Lacey showing her goodies in a microscopic cheerleading skirt? Comfort trying to krump while dressed as a pan of Jiffy Pop? Donyelle decked out in a big bird yellow dress that made her look like one of those creepy doll shaped toilet paper covers in every grandmother's guest bathroom circa 1973? The hunchback and Mischa Chan in goggles and skull caps? Or we could go way back and talk about Ashley dressed as a doll while Dmitri was some kind of pimped out Svengali who'd been attacked by an evil, sleeve stealing gang of street toughs. Oh, wardrobe crack whores. How I don't miss you at all!

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Yay Dave Scott with the opening number.

Because books.
The opening number was awesome.
But what crawled up Nigel's ass tonight? I thought a couple of the solos were great -- Ryan and Peter and Pauline, especially.

opening number was good.
Ryan should not have worn a shirt, but I am not mad at the tight pants. If he's in the botton again (and I think that he will be), he should do a latin thing, with the shirt open to his navel, if he wears a shirt at all.

Because books.
Oh, the Alvin Ailey dancers were also phenomenal, I meant to say. Such precision.
I'm bummed about the cuts.

Watching the solos, I really thought it would be Kevin.
Also, looking at the bottom three women made me sad that America apparently only likes white women....

Kevin and Ryan are too popular. Ryan's abs and Kevin's awesomeness were no match.

Danger is my middle name, only I spell it R. u. t. h. - Tina Belcher.
Yeah, that really struck me, too, Jesse.
Damn teenagers! The wrong people were in the bottom.
though, I will admit that the quick-step was meh for me, even if it wasn't the usual train-wreck.

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."
Ryan's chest is awesome, but his face not so much. He does need to pop open his shirt in future solos.
I thought Nigel's comments were far harsher than they needed to be. I liked the solos except for the 2 who went home. I thought the woman especially had CLEARLY the worst solo.
