Wow, kat! How does one get tix to the show? I just remembered I live here now...

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.

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.

bon bon, to get tickets you go here and put your name on the list. Then they email you and tell you to go to their site and claim your tickets. You've got to move quickly because folks gobble the tickets up like candy. This was the third time this season I got notified for tickets, but the first time I got all the way through. And be prepared to stand in the swaybot pit for longer than you've ever stood in your entire life. Luckily, the bots don't sway like on Idol, but they do incite you to clap and cheer crazily even at inappropriate moments that are not called for by the dance. Good times.

And they do pre-tape the group dance, so I didn't get to see that live. Cat looked like a crazy Amazon warrior in that silver dress. She's so tall. And she loooves those dancers. She had a camera and kept snapping photos of them all night when we were on commercial breaks. So sweet.

I agree. The attitude on that one is out of control. She obviously knew that the judges weren't going to send her home last night. Mia out and out said so when they got announced as B3, and she still brought the tears and the drama. And that solo was a mess of hair flinging desparation. I was not amused.

I think the plan was "I'm a Real Expeditionist And You're Not Neener Neener Neener Poopyheads" with a side of "Doesn't Give A Crap About Anyone But Himself And His Very Important Experience."
