I almost wish the opening number hadn't been in B&W, because I kept trying to figure out how they were managing the effect on live TV, and missed half the dancing. Very cool number, though.

Cat looks like Veronica Lake tonight. So pretty.

If anyone catches what song was used in the Ray Leeper jazz routine, post it? I think it's Aretha, but I know I don't have it and I NEED TO.

When Mary critiques like that, I realize she knows what the hell she's talking about when it comes to ballroom, because I'm totally lost.

My eyes! I think I can see Will's dance belt through his skin-tight white satin pants.
