Yes, it's terribly simple. The good guys are always stalwart and true, the bad guys are easily distinguished by their pointy horns or black hats, and, uh, we always defeat them and save the day. No one ever dies, and everybody lives happily ever after.

Yeah but it was a little weird at first to because they were off and she wasn't finishing some of the moves totally but--wow she found out this morning!

Plus Russel was just amazing.

no shit. That assistant though...damn. I'm hoping she toned it down to make sure Russell showed off.

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.

Is it me, or is Elenore about the only ones whose solos look like routines instead if a series of tricks?

Man, that Ellenore/Legacy routine just knocked it out of the park. I was so fascinated by it, I could have cared less how well they were actually dancing. It was just an awesome performance.

eta: I should specify, the Travis Wall number. I'm running an hour beyond y'all right now.

I actually hated that NappyTabs number. My favorite part was the judges talking alien.
