Yes, it's terribly simple. The good guys are always stalwart and true, the bad guys are easily distinguished by their pointy horns or black hats, and, uh, we always defeat them and save the day. No one ever dies, and everybody lives happily ever after.

Danger is my middle name, only I spell it R. u. t. h. - Tina Belcher.

That salsa was slooooooow. Nigel was right about that.

Two Mandy Moore routines and no 80s music?

So far, I'm not wowed tonight.

Overall this was not a great night. Especially disappointing ballroom by non-ballroom couples; usually they are not THAT bad.

Because books.

I liked that last number a lot, but I wasn't as impressed with the "I Will Always Love You" routine as the judges were. The song is so manipulative now, I think it overshadows anything set to it.

Why do they want Eliana to dance? I think she's incredible, and much as I like Cyrus, she's holding their routines together on her own.

They have a hard pick with the girls, I think. I think (I hope) she's going to knock their socks off - she's one of my favorites.

Amber loses points for dancing to Lana Del Rey. Faugh.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Yes.

I'm going to be crushed whichever girl they pick. Ugh.

Stupid America! And Nigel agrees.

Oh, god, the room to grow line.

I knew they would cut Amber.
