Oh, I'm shocked that she's 28, too!
I'm so sad that a ridiculous majority of our time with Alex has involved the Puffy Eyes Of Weeping.
Yes.
Willow: Something evil-crashed to earth in this. Then it broke out and slithered away to do badness.
Giles: Well, in all fairness, we don't really know about the "slithered" part. Anya: No, no, I'm sure it frisked about like a fluffy lamb.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Crap, missed BB. Are they like TAR, where every season has a new name so your subscriptions don't mean crap?

Also, it was good that Mia apologized for being a bitch at Adechike last night (I haven't watched last night yet, but I've seen her in that mode before). She really needs to deal with her issues - some criticism is not constructive, and when your intended partner is down with a career-altering injury, best to not kick him while he's down. Didn't she irrationally hate Brandon, too? I wonder if Nigel sat down with her and made her apologize.

Yeah, I think so.

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."
Brandon, Danny Tidwell. She said shit about Joshua too. If she had been involved last season, she would have taken Russell down as well.
There is a pattern.

All black guys. Huh.

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."
Make no mistake, she talks shit about others, but the vicious shit is really reserved for a handful of people. She HATED Heidi (Travis' year).

Your right, I had forgotten about how she tortured her! But, she really gets a bug in her ear for at least one dance a season!

"We have trust issues." Mylar
There is a pattern.
Amen. S1: Allan, S2: Ryan, S3: Danny and Cedric, S5: Brandon.
I respect Mia as a choreographer and she is often on point when she's getting her bitch on with her panel remarks. And certainly some of this pattern has to do with her preference for a more raw, organic dancer rather than someone with impeccable technical training. But on the real? Homegirl has issues with black male dancers. It's been fairly obvious going all the way back to S1 and it's not cute.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."
Yeah, it's a real problem.
And wrt Alex, I agree that the injury, surgery, and recovery time are all going to be longer than Nigel is saying. I couldn't bear to listen to most of it, so I dunno what other picture he painted, but this is not a good injury. I was wondering to myself if he wasn't ready by next year if his free pass would extend to the year after. But by then he'll be 25, dancing against 18 year olds. I don't know, for the competition narrative.
And for the career, it's a whole 'nother thing. Ballet is a young man's sport and it spits people out. An injury and surgery like that will in all likelihood leave long-term weakness. Even if he fully recovers for normal life, even if he goes back to dance, he may never dance like he did before the injury.
And maybe he'll be fine. Maybe he'll be stronger than ever and the experience will give him fortitude and passion. Let's hope so.
I remain worried. But I'm a negative person, so...
