Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Black people are scary.

Obvs.

See!!

I love Joshua and Katee. He's so sturdy looking, and then so light and lovely. (Now I hear Mary saying the dancing was NSM, but eh.)

don't you think Gev has had SOME ballroom training? I don't think he fell off the ballroom turnip truck yesterday.

You could totally be right. His carriage is insane for someone who's never danced ballroom.

Speaking of hip-hoppers with undercover training . . . Katee was exquisite in that and Josh got through it. Not a ton of closed hold in that dance. I don't know how difficult it was as a partner dance. The technique wasn't there, but I enjoyed it and they have a great connection as partners.

So is tonight "Let's knock Mark/Chelsie and Katee/Joshua down a peg" night? Salsa and Viennese Waltz? Really?

OK, Mary!

Ha! I'll take it. I need more rhinestones on, though. And a bad weave.

I don't think Joshua did nearly as badly at VW as Kherrington did in the krumping. I mean, damn.

How is it possible for them to sound even MORE ignorant this season than previous?

It's really out of control and goes to something else that's been really bothering me about this season, which is the complete lack of even a token attempt to get some POC on the judges panel. Shane decamped for ABDC and Debbie got knocked out by her previous association with Will (which is bullshit because Brian Friedman and S1 Blake had worked together many times before he got on the show and many other past contestants have had ties to judges). But what the hell? They've had Cicely and Olisa Back as choreographers but not judges (even though they'd been judges in the past) and L'il C has now choreographed twice but not been invited onto the panel? Eeewww.

Mark and Chelsie #2 - Yay! I loved that. Loved them. That was so good. Mark was smokin', Chelsie was hot. I enjoy Tyce when he's not aping other Broadway choreographers. I do not like that the judges are falling all over themselves over Chelsie. I really disagree with Mia and wonder what bug crawled up her butt about Mark. He is far from poorly trained. That was a weird judging session.

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."

kat, you make some really valid points. I think Napoleon is their main judge of color (though let me not go off on NappyTabs choreo). There are plenty of strong choreographers who they could tap to be judges.
