I had a feeling I was missing the technical aspect of Jeanine's solo - her musicality just left me cold.

Non-Fiction TV: I Reject Your Reality and Substitute My Own
This thread is for non-fiction TV, including but not limited to reality television (So You Think You Can Dance, Top Chef: Masters, Project Runway), documentaries (The History Channel, The Discovery Channel), and sundry (Expedition Africa, Mythbusters), et al. [NAFDA]
Technically, Jeanine was very good, and I say that on a night that Patricia Hachey showed all those whippersnappers how it is really done. I mean,that deep plie in second position en pointe for like a minute at the top of her pas de deux with Desmond Richardson? I don't even think that's possible but somehow she did it. Wow.
The best part of the show was that we got to see pre-tapes for the 100th episode special. We saw three routines that will air that night, none of which involved Katie Holmes. Awesome!
Wow, kat! How does one get tix to the show? I just remembered I live here now...

Yeah, that was crazy impressive! And then she did it again later in the routine! I thought her legs just looked amazing all through.
And I liked Jeanine's solo, maybe because it was more "classical" it looked a little less like "OMG, HMV, I am throwing myself across the stage desperately!" than some of the girls tend to.
Didn't need to be said twice, though.
Can we talk about my hatred for Kayla? It's growing. She can dance, but I hate her. She just comes off as a whiny bitchy baby when she ends up in the bottom three. I know she's like, an infant, but show a little grace! Like, Karla.
I will miss Vitolio. I liked his choice of dancing to a song with "Goodbye" in the title - he knew he was being thrown under the bus.
Expedition Africa - OMGSHUTUPPASQUALE.
kat, you were THERE?!??! That's awesome. Did they do the opening routine, too? I feel like I heard that's taped earlier?
And "better than Cedric" might be the definition of damning with faint praise....
Jessica - I KNOW. OMG.
What was plan about leaving Mireya and Benedict miles behind with the burros? If they went astray HOW were they going to get them back?
Asshat.
Patricia Hachey showed all those whippersnappers how it is really done.
That was just astounding. Crazy good.
