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.

OK, hearing Mia say "it's going to get dirty", I just had this image of her imagining the boys in porn. HOT.

They seemed a little off with the sticks at the beginning, but overall, this is one of my favorite mia routines. Different from her usual stuff, too! I think I want them to do more boy/boy and girl/girl dances!!

I love Sabra. I want to put her in a music box so I can keep her on my dresser and watch her anytime I want.

Hmm. I love Dan as a judge. Who knew?

I like Sabra. She's cute as a button. Very solid technique. I don't think she's the best dancer of the season. I'm not even sure she was the best girl of the season. But that was a solid, well-danced solo. Shame she had to go after Danny's solo and that great Mia piece. I might've liked it more.

Sabra is just amazing.

Thrive to spite them

Sabra just exudes sheer joy when she dances. Danny does too. I get the same feeling when they dance.

It was cute. I thought the hunchback was back. I mean, I guess the dance is a little bit hunchy. It did look extremely difficult.

That looked like a damn hard routine. I felt a couple of the lifts slowed the routine down, but they did a great job keeping the energy going.

OK, people often seem kinda hunchback and bent over when doing the Lindy Hop, but damn did that and the high-waisted pants make Neil look bad in this. Forget any of the dancing...

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I had many thoughts while trying to catch up with this thread. Let's see how many I remember...

I was thinking the other day that Neil could do Cabaret, but way dirtier than that came out tonight.

I don't understand why they hated the girls' number so much. And I was annoyed that the boys spent half the time sitting in chairs. Although they were totally about to get dirty. And I loved when Danny winked when he said "This is for you, Nigel," or whatever the line was. I like when Danny gets campy.

I wish they had done more single-gender dances -- like, when it was down to eight, or six, why couldn't they do one couple dance and one small-group? That would have been fun, I think.

I have a weird love of Lacey's "big" legs. I think I like seeing someone who looks substantial doing all that dancing.

I'm afraid Neil is going to win.
