On my seventh birthday, I wanted a toy fire truck, and I didn't get it, and you were real nice about it, and then the house next door burnt down, and then real firetrucks came, and for years I thought you set the fire for me. And if you did, you can tell me!

Right? They definitely should give them at least a full minute. But I adore Melanie. I feel like Sasha is a lightly more versatile dancer, but there's just something special about Melanie. I can't articulate. But I'll be happy if either of them win.

I just thought of a great finale bit -- Instead of the random solo, each dancer gets to pick a choreographer and the two of them choreograph a decent length routine (say three minutes) I would really like the opportunity to see what they can do when my focus isn't pulled by someone else, and by having a choreographer in the mix, the playing field is leveled.

Didn't look like one to me.

I feel like the choreography should just be better this week. They are all working with what they've been given, but they all have to do SO MUCH this week, sub-par choreography just shouldn't be allowed.

Because books.

I will say, the spank startled me. My inner prude emerges at the weirdest times.

I really liked that Marko/Lauren routine. Very pretty.

Vortex, that is a brilliant idea!

Marko and Lauren were very good together!

I really love Tadd's solos. I like the way he makes unusual music choices, but they work so well. Has he ever chosen a "traditional" hip hop number to dance to?
