Sweet lumpy minion, you're the only one that understands. Probably 'cause I haven't sucked the brain out of you yet.

I do think that she seemed like a "type" they have on this show, but ended up not really being that so I've come aorund

yes, I agree with Megan. She was the type that Nigel likes, but she's actually very talented and versatile.

Lauren's a bit like Kathryn, in that she's really good and adaptable to a lot of styles and choreographers, but nothing interesting at all in her solos. kent is the same way for me. Contrast Adechike, who has plenty of technical skill but can be awesome with the right choreographer or crap with the wrong one, but I adore his solos.

I'm with Megan. Jose and Robert need to go.

You know what? I think 'chike is a bit immature. When he gets some years under him, he will probably be a fantastic dancer.

I think that Adechike is not good with a partner. It may be a maturity thing.

Robert isn't very good either, I have to say. despite the judges claiming so over and over again.

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

Apart from the injury question, the only thing that really stood out for me last night was Comfort's performance. She never really grabbed my attention during her season, but I think she's been pretty amazing as an All-Star.

I did like the guest judge though.

Yes, I feel like I'm enjoying Comfort ever so much more than I did on her season. I don't recall if that's because of who she was partnered with, or what dances she had to do, or what, but she's awesome, now.

The guest judge kind of amused me--it made me wonder if there are random celebs out there going "I wanna be a judge! I love this show!!"

I have issues with Comfort's hair, because we have a really hard time seeing her face most of the time, and to me that's a big part of the expressiveness of the dancing.

Robert isn't very good either, I have to say.

He is also not a good partner, but in a different way. I don't see the trust, he's not there for his partner, in the sense that I fear for her safety during lifts and such. Adechike is there, but doesn't connect to his partner. It's as if he's doing his part and she's doing her part, but they aren't together.
