PR: Nina's decision wins again. I wonder if I should bail now so my heart isn't broken again with the finale.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

Averting my eyes from the SYTYCD talk until it hits my timezone...

PR: I'm with Heidi, again, on the winner. Ah well.

I hope that Josh, shoot, I don't know which Josh it was, the one with the dog toys on the shoes, wins something that gets him immunity, because I think he could go seriously OTT if he wasn't worried about elimination and that would make me happy.

Eta: Heh, I guess I don't need to differentiate the Joshes anymore.

I was with Heidi, too. I didn't mind the length, probably because I always think that the dresses are too short. I thought that the seed beading originality should have given him a leg up, although I liked the ombre skirt.

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."

I agree. I thought it was wild that the thing that Nina concentrated on was the length of the skirt when it was obvious to me that he might not have pulled it off at all if it was longer. Doing all that work for that dress was no joke. He used the materials in an interesting fashion and didn't use anything that looked like cloth.

I liked the winner's outfit, but the one I thought should win had a greater challenge and showed more imagination in my view.

SYTYCD - At this point, they're all so good, it's going to be hard to pick the "best". It's like the Olympics, where 9.834 beats 9.833.

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."

Yes, but I have to admit, I will be disappointed if anyone but Melanie or Sasha wins.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.

I want Sasha to win, but I think Melanie will, and I'm okay with that.

At this point, I love all four of them - can't they all win?

sigh ... guess not

"We have trust issues." Mylar

I don't think I've ever been happier with a SYTYCD Top 4. Tadd is not up to the level of Melanie, Sasha and Marko, but he is amazing out of his style and I'm sure he's had way less training than either of the other 3 so what he is able to do is just damn impressive. I really would be OK if any of them won, but in my heart of hearts, I want Melanie to win more than anything. I thought her solo last night was so strong. Again. Sasha's solo was good but she seemed a little frantic. I wanted to tell her to go off and start again and just breathe into the performance and dance just for her. Caitlyn did a lot less hair flinging in her solo last night, but alas, too little, too late. The boys solos were solid but nothing spectacular from any of them.

Also, Mark! It's about damn time.
