"We have trust issues." Mylar

I think the schedule the show has given them has to take some of the blame - they've been dancing two dances + solo + group dance for weeks now. Also, I could have sworn last season the top four had an extra week before the finale to give them a little time to rest up.

Very much this. They started dancing two dances at what? Top 12? And the solos started at Top 10 and didn't stop. And then there was the week that they did a girl's group dance, a boys group dance and a mixed group dance all on the same night. They have been working these kids into the ground this season just so Fox could keep airing two hours worth of original programming. It's amazing that Jessica is the only one who had gone down previously.

Last year, I would've given my right arm for pre-finale spoliers and they had everything locked up tight as a drum. This year . . . eh, not so much. I mean, I'm sure I'll look because I'm me! But at this point, I'm just not all that invested in who wins. Having said that, I'm sure I'll be miffed if anyone but Katee wins. Nigel's been angling so hard for a hip hop dancer to win this year, and I'd love to see him thwarted.

Interesting that Nigel is leaving AI. I wonder if he'll leave SYTYCD as well.

This week's Top Gear with the Richard, Jeremy and James' mothers was excellent. This is despite storm induced wonkiness in the recording.

I think that the article that I read said that he wanted to concentrate on SYTTCD.

Har. Me too, but I love Joshua to pieces. And those thighs!!!! (sorry, I have a bit of a fetish about strong thighs)

I love that James's mum was the speed freak! Captain Slow became so in reaction to his mom's driving--hilarious. And watching Jeremy and his mom trying to figure out the Peugot was great.

If Twitch wins SYTYCD I will be annoyed with America. I'd be happy with a Joshua or Katee win, and fine with Courtney, though I doubt it will be her. I think it will be Katee (best story arc evah! Almost didn't make top 20 due to bad attitude!)

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

Hey flea, how will you feel if Twitch wins SYTYCD?
