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

She looked like she could take him in a fight, totally contrary to the choreography!

Because books.

I don't know who that woman was, but goddamn, she was awesome. I loved that number, and I think I have a little bit of a crush on her.

Oh, megan and anyone else - Rickey.org is very consistent in having all the numbers up in order the next day.

Wow, that Rickey guy is fast. He's already got videos of the opening number and the Twyla Tharp number posted. Thanks, smonster.

Thought I recognized some of those dancers in the video - quick google confirms LXD was one of the featured crews. And I ain't gonna lie - I liked the Bieber number better than Usher, but then Usher's always left me kind of cold.

The video also had the Beat Freaks and Probiotix. I think that there was another crew, some of the dancers looked kind of familiar, but I couldn't identify the crew.

The Twyla Tharp number was amazing, but felt really misogynistic to me.

I wasn't surprised that Alexie went home. Her dance for her life was uninspired. It was very weak.

Also, watching Top Chef DC and the first diner they talked to was my friend Kevin!

Totally--I had issues with that choreo, or the character/acting, or something, possibly because I've gotten so used to getting a "story" from the stuff we see, and some of it was so realistically acted with the fighting between them and then seconds later she'd be doing very non-fighty dancing moves, and it was too fast a switch for me. Hmph.

I liked Cristina's dance for her life, not so much because it was great dancing, but because she did seem...more herself. It was like "Oh yeah, that's why they liked her"

Edit: Also, see Natter, but--in the Usher thing, ita was TOTALLY hiding out in that pack of dancer girls! Check it! She must be his secret bodyguard who's masquerading as a dancer in order to protect him even while he's on stage.
