Oh man, 10 minutes in, and BB has already made me laugh more than it has the rest of the season.
eta: I don't usually watch the exit interviews/messages very carefully, bur this one I actually rewatched, because it was MADE OF AWESOME

he only thing that could have made that better was if Eleanor was on the show!
Ooh. So many all stars I would love to see...
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??
Hah! I noticed this too and eye-rolled.
I was surprisingly pleased by the disco number, and amazed by Eliana, and that was about it. Oh, and the chacha was ridiculous. WHY, why with the bad and slow music??
Some of the things I typed while watching--apparently I'm all about costumes:
Lindsay and Jacob: "Apparently my shadow is a dude?" HAH. I am distracted by how shiny his vest is (hers is shiny too, but there's less fabric) Cute. Not super memorable, but not bad at all.
Will and Kathryn--weird seeing her after seeing Step Up! Also, he just looks GInOrMOUS. Even when he's squatting down. And she totally kicked his ass.
Cyrus and Jamie- (Wow, I didn't even recognize/remember her) I feel like men are not meant to wear skinny jeans shirtless. I liked the number a lot (especially the lighting choices)…but I didn't think he was that awesome in it.
Cheon and Lauren: SERIOUSLY COSTUME WHORES? Are those drop crotch pants?!? Also, wow, he is so ballet when dancing "hip hop"
Allison and George: FUn, but I have no idea where Tasty thought this was "raunchy"
I'm almost sad Cheon stayed, because really, is he going to get votes off of THIS week's performance?!? This new setup is weird. I feel like they should kick people off at the beginning of the show (even though we'd then get less dancing).

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."

It's his muscles. He doesn't use them the way hiphoppers do. He's not aware of their contraction and release, all he's doing is moving them smoothly, which is what a ballet dancer should, but he completely misses the point of what he's trying to do here.

Danger is my middle name, only I spell it R. u. t. h. - Tina Belcher.
Alex Wong was very good in his number with Twitch before he got injured.

Yeah, I'm not saying ballet dancers can't, I'm saying Chehon can't.

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."
I am so over Chehon, it isn't even funny. I want him gone so badly I can taste it. I wish the other ballet dancer were still there instead of him.

"We have trust issues." Mylar
I still like Chehon more than Daniel. Daniel left me cold. Still, I would've taken George over Chehon in a heartbeat. George is just a more versatile dancer. He was better in that horror show NappyTab hip hop where he and Tiffany were babysitters dressed in too bright clothes than was Chehon in his hip hop. Original Danny was pretty terrible at hip hop, too, btw. Go back and watch him dancing to Push It with B-Girl Sara. Painful. Plus, they made him wear a Kangol hat and it almost got knocked off at one point and then just sat there all crooked for the rest of the routine. And a big, gold dookie rope. It was . . . a lot. I just think hip hop is hard for ballet dancers. The whole movement vocabulary would just feel wrong. I still like watching Eurotrash Danny and he really does seem to be coming out of his shell a little bit, so that's nice to see.
And I finally watched Peanut's show and I liked it. I wish there were more dance and less personal drama. And I want more Melanie. She is in the company. Show her to me, dammit! But I am living, living for Chance to Dance. So much awesome I almost can't stand it. I just want several seasons of the Ballet Boyz traveling around America exposing the weak technique of some of these studio kids and elevating others.
