Because books.

Oh, very cool. God, I can't wait. I loved (most of) the Olympics, but I did not love being deprived of My Shows.

Am I the only one disappointed that we lost Amber in the last cull?

My mom and dad stopped over right as the show was starting -- who are the guest judges?

Thanks, Vortex. It's weirdly offensive to me that they're not making a note of the dancers' names, especially when all the other guest judges know the dancers and the show so well.

Cat's dress is a little ... wild. And I'm not sure how I feel about the weird Heidi braid thing.

Why am I not at all surprised that Cole and Mark are friends?

I can't imagine that they aren't given a list of the dancers' names. I'm with you on that. If they were so excited to give the critique that they forgot, that's one thing, but it feels careless.
