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

If Boogie gets voted out tonight, is he going to the jury house? I really really want to see his reaction when he finds out.

Oh my! Jacob! Kathryn! Alex! The only thing that could have made that better was if Eleanor was on the show!

Sadly, this season isn't doing much for me. I don't have a favorite or someone I can't stand.

I'm convinced Cyrus is going to walk away the winner though. Which makes me sad.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

How much fun is it to see Mike Boogie being totally played by Ian?

Super fun! Although I'm glad Dan is thisclose to selling him out, since the only reason he's getting away with it is other people protecting him.

SYTYCD: I was so bummed to see Chehon and George in the bottom, because somehow I loved Chehon this week. In my pants. George is such a little noodle in person and then he turned that shit OUT in the solo. Dag.

On the opening number, what was that shit with giving Cyrus a broom? I mean, I know he can't dance Gene Kelly, but STILL. The black man gets to be the janitor??

And yes, Natalie Portman's husband.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."

Yeah, guess what, this show is racist!

I'm out of step because I have only been watching clips and not those religiously, but I still love seeing the all-stars, possibly to the detriment of developing an affinity for the actual contestants.

But yeah,

Oh my! Jacob! Kathryn! Alex! The only thing that could have made that better was if Eleanor was on the show!

Totally this.

Yeah, guess what, this show is racist!

I don't know that it's racism necessarily as prejudiced against hip hop and other forms of unchoreographed dance, i.e. dance without rules. They like their rules and things to judge "objectively" on.

Of course, it so happens that the vast majority of hip hoppers are of color.

Was that a reference to this number ? I didn't really take in the details of the group number, having Tice in there was really distracting - I didn't recognize him so I spent a lot of that dance wondering if there was a whole contestant that I had completely forgotten.

Probably, except Cyrus was just pushing the broom around. Due to, you know, not being able to dance like Gene Kelly.
