I'm a vision of hotliness, and how weird is that? Mystical comas. You know, if you can stand the horror of a higher power hijacking your mind and body so that it can give birth to itself, I really recommend 'em.

Why did Jeanine beat Evan, though? Because Nigel was so hard on his actual dancing?

Because Evan sucked ass in everything except that big Broadway style at which he excelled. I was embarrassed for him in that finale. So far out of his league. It's kind of like how Sabra beat Neil.

This article is bizarre, because she says exactly the OPPOSITE of what I thought, in regards to her favorite bits on the show--she liked the Sweet Charity number, and she thought what'sherface did really well against Anya and Pasha. Er...

...and she thinks contemporary dancers have to work "extra hard" to be loved in this competition. Er...again, what?

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I still can't believe this frigging guy won Big Brother. Looks like Adam is copping a plea: [link]

We're very stretchy. - Connie Neil

Tonight's Mythbusters is a two-hour special, and here is a great two- part interview with Jamie and Adam.

He danced to Footloose, so I guess it would be considered contemporary? He did very, very good. Definitely kept up with his "all star" partner.

It was a Tasty number, so not terribly inspired in terms of choreography, but he really did do well. And it's gotta be tough to go first.

I already know this new format is not going to do it for me. I'm going to miss seeing how the partnerships develop. (Although I want to see Kathryn and Mark dance together.)

I keep watching the all-stars instead of the contestants! Especially Mark and Pasha!

I think the guy competitors are totally being upstaged.

Exception:
