Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Yeah, it's all meh so far. I think this is why I'm not in love with anyone this season -- it's not like there's anyone who is always great, or even surprisingly good. Actually, thinking about it, "surprisingly good" is where I fall in love with people -- and of course the judges pull "no training!" bullshit to make that happen -- but the dancers this season seem overall really good, but there is so little that is stunning.

I'm glad they brought in an actual dance judge along with Ellen, I must say...

Hee, if she did I missed it.

My favorite part of this show, tonight, is Ellen. We need her as a judge more often even if she doesn't know squat about dance.

Because books.

Mia is very critical, huh?

Ellen is making me giggle.

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb

See Ellen is annoying me and I tape EVERY ELLEN SHOW weekdays.

I was thinking that Mia was being very tame tonight.

Fuck! My cable crapped out or something -- I can hear, but not see!

Okay, Melissa and Ade just made me cry. That was incredible. Way to go, Tyce!

OK, changed to the non-HD channel, so I can see Nigel crying -- the dance was about cancer?? Do I need to seek it out, really?

It was very, very good. I don't blame Nigel for being speechless. I think I would have been, too.

Thrive to spite them

I think even if you had turned it on and didn't know what it was about it still would take your breath away.

It was just beautiful and moving.
