Yeah, I agree with that, Jean. The injury took Billy Bell down, but he was struggling before that. Again, one of the things with people in this competition so young, I think. I would rather see them a little older with a little more strength and polish on top of their raw skill.

The whole thing is just tainted with me missing Alex, though. Alex is just this one long delayed gratification for me.

No kidding. He was magic. I wanted to see him do every possible kind of dance. I'll bet he's a choreographer's dream, too.

That said, I was surprised when I started really loving Lauren. The girl can do anything they throw at her. She'll have my vote next week.

Yeah, mine too, probably. Shocking to me. Oh, and I wish they`d put her hair in a bun for the dance this week. Hard to be expressive when you still have the hair flinging instincts. But she`s been amazing. So more power to her for making me like her. I still think Kent will take it on the power of the teenybopper vote, though.

If Casper is anything to go by, Kent also has the tween vote all wrapped up.

Dillo remains a fan of Alex. He asks about him every week, and demonstrates a split jump, "how he broke the thing on the side of his leg."

Aww, cutiepants Dillo.

I'm only a few minutes into PR, but ... Infinity Dress? Seriously?

Infinity Dress? Seriously?

Oh, just wait. Such hideous delights await you.

You ain't kidding. The designers horrified by their own looks on the runway = awesome.

Oh, God, Jason has got to go. What a tool. Poor misunderstood tool.

I really didn't get the winning look at all, and loved the two runners-up.

I agree. She made a jumpsuit that I didn't hate, so I guess that's an accomplishment, but I don't get the win. Even the final billboard is pretty blah. But I'm not a Marie Claire girl, either, so, whatever.

This episode didn't drag as much as last weeks, but they do not need that extra 30 minutes.
