So, between Thursday and Monday they have to learn the two partner dances and come up with a solo.

Well, even less really--they learn them Fri/Sat/Sun, then Monday they have dress rehearsal and tape the show, right?

Tues/Wed they learn the group dances and Thursday they do the show live?

Really?? That's even worse!!! OMG! Then what do they do all day Tuesday and Wednesday and Thursday daytime? Just sleep a lot, and panic? Ay!

Tues & Wed might be their days off and days to do promos, etc.

I liked the bollywood number a lot!! I thought it worked great as a group number, because bollywood is all about group numbers.

Although it really illustrated the sucky camera work we've been saddled with all season.

Oh, yes it did. The Bollywood is all about the group moving in unison. The camera kept zooming in for closeups, so you missed the group work.

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

You have to watch "Reality Bites Back" on Comedy Central. 9 comedians are participating and each week they do a parody of a different reality show. This week was the first ep and it was "Big Brother."

I found it at least mildly amusing. I think some of you would enjoy it. 30 minutes.

General consensus among a couple of the people at country dancing tonight: The two step on SYTYCD sucked.

And watching some of the people dancing tonight, I was reminded of how bad it really was. I was like "Yeah, if some random gay men with no "official" dance experience can look this good..."

But seriously, some of the boys out on the floor tonight were doing a lot of the twirly twisty turning stuff that reminded me of how Mark and Kherington's stuff *should've* looked, or at least a little more. Now I feel compelled to surf over to YouTube....

This is what their dance was supposed to look like.

This is not what my dancing looks like. I do like, two of those moves. The easy ones.

I'm not sure why this video has no sound, but this is more like what I do:

Random note: Ronnie and Brandi also do West Coast Swing.

I'm watching last night's What Not To Wear, and I HATE that they got rid of her glasses! They were cute glasses! Hmph.
