Frikkin' Disney Channel watching, Josh Beiber listening, no taste having tweens. Kevin/Karen in B3 rather than Mollee/Nathan is criminal. Kevin better not go home. If it's not Peter, I'm gonna be pissed.

Before the solos, I would've pegged Ellenore for the boot this week, but Pauline's solo was a hot mess of hair flinging and booty shaking. Nightmare. So now I'm not sure. Nigel was so pissed that Mollee and Nathan escaped the bottom that there's no way he'd let Karen go even if she came out there and just stood in the middle of the floor for 30 seconds.

And speaking of the Nigel smackdown, I frikkin' loved it. It so, so needed to be said. That attitude Nathan busted out at the end of judging last night was ugly, and looking all abashed now is not helping. He was crushed because he got called on his stank attitude, not because of the attitude itself. Boo. Poorly done. I do still like him and still think he's a hell of a dancer, but I'm glad Nigel busted out the bad daddy on him. It also makes me feel tons better about Kevin's ability to survive the week.

Wow. Thus ends the year of the tapper. OK. Well, I can't say as I disagree with the bootees, although I am so, so sad about Pauline. She's better than what she showed on TV. That girl is a sick hip hop dancer. I wish she'd done hip hop for her solo. I think she would've killed it. (So glad Shankdaddy called out the ridiculous Convention 101 styling)

OK, I have to concentrate on Glee now. I release the thread to others.

I thought that Pauline's solo was far below the others. I thought Kevin was going to go home, but I'm glad it was Peter in the end.

I don't love Ryan, but I did like his solo, especially given previous ballroom solos.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.

Also, looking at the bottom three women made me sad that America apparently only likes white women....

I don't think America votes for the women.

I thought Ryan's solo was one of the better ones for a ballroom kid. It's so hard to do a good solo when you are used to performing with and relying on a partner. The only ballroom dancer I've seen consistently do good solos on SYTYCD was Benji. And poor Karen. I don't think I've ever seen a ballroom lady do a really great, dynamic solo.

And I'm totally going to the Dizzy Feet thing. Yay! I'm such a sucker for this show, y'all.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."

Dude, serious yay. I was listening to that lineup & I would totally go for that.

Loved the Nigel smackdown and agreed.

And it was so gravely wrong that the teenyboppers weren`t in the bottom. For serious. Given that they weren`t, the right ones went home, but it should have been them.

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

I definitely think they should have been bottom 3, but I wouldn't have wanted Nathan to go home, even with the stank attitude. He needs to grow up, but he's still a great dancer.

Agreed, agreed. I would've been sad to lose Nathan tonight. He's a gorgeous dancer. I think the Nigel smackdown was well deserved and I hope he really does learn something from it. (Although I'm skeptical about that) But it would've been a shame to lose him tonight. He's the #2 contemporary boy left on the show, and I can't see him going home before Victor. And I like Victor! Mollee can go home any day now. I see the talent, but I can't get past the immaturity. Talk about your "advanced class, competition style" dancer. Karen, Kathryn, and Ellenore are the only girls left I care for.

Art Crawl!!!

I thought Kat's Ihop cheese blintz' comment was a comment on Robin's quickfire dish.

I need Jen to pull her shit together. She needs to be in the top 4.

But I'm afraid the final four will be Kevin and the Brothers V and Eli.
