Breaking it up since I`m phone posting. The UK winner was stellar. Our women (including Lauren, sorry) were not that good and committed. That`s how you do jumps and holds, ladies. Like you`re going to hit the floor. Like you have it all to give.
 
And I`m so glad to see Russell & Lil C together! They ground it out! So good. I love what they do. It makes my muscles contract. That`s what I wanted out of the routines all season. I wanted them to want it so hard. C`s movement is so phenomenal. His control and mastery of his body, but all set loose and wild and free. The contrast of his fluidity and hardness. I just love watching him.
 
Overall I have no complaints, other than insufficient Mark. But there never can be enough Mark, so.

Thanks tiggy - ahhhh.

. I still feel like my whole season was robbed by is injury and I still blame the show (thus am also unamused by Nigel).

See, this is my Vortex (see: discussion yesterday about TC). I cannot get over this and will not forgive.

LeN, I'm only hating on one contestant, you're hating on the whole show! :)

You know, I don't really hate SYTYCD, but your remark made me laugh.

I hate the judging and especially Nigel. The contestants have been decent this year - just not evaluated "fairly" by the judges.

I could still watch Russell all day long. Nice to have that confirmed.

wasn't he lovely? I almost don't want to say it, but I think he did better than Lil C.

I totally thought he out-danced Lil C! He's still got that eye-drawing charisma that just oozes out of him on stage.

look at what the eliminated person on TC wants to cook for Obama:

I want to eat this meal.

I didn't even realize that was Lil C until I read it here. I was all about Russell. I just love the way he moves.
