I am stunned how awkward Jordan was in that rumba. Surprising!
Sasha and Melanie killing Sonya's choreography is the opposite of surprising but oh so very satisfying. Ahhh.
I wanna hurt you, but I can't resist the sinister attraction of your cold and muscular body!

Sasha and Melanie blew me away. It was raw, it was brutal, and it was beautiful. I love them both.
Marko crying ... eh, he waits until he's done. And he told his mother he loved her on national TV! seriously, how sweet was that? (his mom was crying, too - maybe it's hereditary BUT it's better than Ryan and the perpetual smile)

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."
Okay, my reactions of SYTYCD. I had a helluva Wednesday so I am just getting to the show now. I agree with previous comments. You all seriously are on point:
Rob Marshall is way too orange, Gaga is really contrived, but I agreed with every single one of her negative statements, but didn't always agree with her positive statements. Homegirl paid attention and did her job. I loved how much she obviously dislikes NappyTabs. Funny shit. Unlike kat, I didn't like either of their routines last night. The second was better, but I didn't care for it. I thought the first routine was fucked up. Tyce - WTF did he do to Ade? Ade is one of my favorites and he had him mostly standing around? There ought to be a LAW against treating Ade that way.
Neil is not one of my favorites, but he looked good last night!
Where was Mark? That is not right.

Oh, and the part where Sasha was petting Gaga's shoe cracked my shit up.

Oh, yes, that was hilarious!
I am crossing my fingers for some Mark tonight! That is the treat we want, SYTYCD producers.

-t, oh that didn't cross my mind. Maybe we will get Mark tonight.

On first watch, I actually didn't love the Sasha/Melanie dance. I found the music distracting, somehow. I think I'll try again with the sound off.

flea,
I kind of think it was over-praised, but I don't know.

I'm interested to see what you think without the music, flea. I've been kind of down on Sonya this season, her stuff has seemed a little stuck in a rut, but I really appreciated that this one was not all about the pretty shapes you can make your body into, tra la. Also I just loved watching it beyond my ability to analyse why.
OTOH, I didn't care for Marko and Alison's number at all, and that was Sonya, too. It just didn't hold my attention.
I am not a person to be listened to is my point, I think.

I thought their number was a rehash of last year's Alex and Alison's piece.
