I am kind of in love with Professor Lock. Did he make it through? And here he is working an "Indubitably" shirt. [link] Also though Ricky Jamie was adorable.

I got very, very tired of Natalia, just watching the clips.

Why can't they get any amazing ballroom people who are not 45 years old? It seems like there was so much ballroom talent at first, and the last few seasons, pathetic.

The Voltaggio Brothers have a cookbook coming out.

Yeah, I kind of wonder if like, word is OUT in the ballroom community "don't go audition for them! it's awful!" or something. I mean really.

The ballroom thing is just weird, especially when you consider that the ballroom alums have had some of the greatest post-show success. Practically half the cast of Dancing with the Stars got their starts on SYTYCD - Lacey, Dmitry, Chelsea, Peanut has choreographed for them (not to mention the fact that Louis has done choreo for SYTYCD). Pasha and Anya made a huge splash in Burn the Floor. You see the former ballroom kids out and about doing well much more frequently than most of the winners, truth be told.

What the actual fuck? I am upset about Professor Lock !!

I really like that it feels like they paid attention to what did and didn't work last year. Granted, announcing a top 20 takes longer than 10 (or 11?) did, but I'm so glad they aren't doing the stupid travelogue of telling everyone at home, and instead are doing a crapload of dancing! Fun.

Fuck, I love LXD.

What Jesse said.

And possibly my final notes: What is up with Sonia's look? And are 9 of the girls contemporary?

What Jesse said: like all the comments.

Can I add? Antin need to fucking go. I never ever want to see that woman on my screen again. Who can arrange this? Do I need to call ita or something? WTF. What.a.waste.of.space.
