Jasmine M/Alan: Girl, at least you are getting a ballroom boy doing those lifts and not an animator or something! She looks awkward. There are several parts where her knees are spread apart at awkward angles and I can't think it's supposed to be like that because it's so unflattering. ...so much so that I didn't even notice him. Oops.
I've really got to learn to just do the damage and get out of town. It's the 'stay and gloat' that gets me every time.

Thrive to spite them
I really don't like Nigel and his comments, I wish there was a Nigel mute button.

Paul/Mackenzie: Huh, I kinda dug that. I mean, there were bits of the choreo that were silly or looked a bit too hard, but mostly it was pretty darn good! Oh, and Paul should work on his facial expressions, he was strange looking at a few points. Maybe his ballroom backgound?

Carlos/Mariah : Aw, I like this one too! It was lovely. (Mary, what do you mean by the other side of the rainbow???)
I feel like the judges totally made the wrong decision based on how people did tonight. Ugh. "America got it wrong" my ass--judges picked the wrong one of Americas choices maybe (well, of the boys at least, i don't have strong feelings on the girls)

One season I had a yuff of him and I did indeed mute.

Fikshun/Amy: Eh. It was OK. She seemed to hold her own a'ight; I felt like he was not outshining her in most moments, but it felt more like he was holding back mostly (a few good moments though) rather than her bringing it up to his level. But still. Could've been way worse.

Tucker/Jenna: Damn, I am impressed by the costume crackwhores this week. They must have gotten a good batch or something. Tucker looks kinda hot. And it was cute. B it was there any chacha?? (Ooh, Mary agreed)

Because books.
Jasmine H./Alan (is it Alan?) are definitely my favorites. Fantastic dancing.
Anyone know which Alicia Keys song that was they used?

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."
I don't understand how they get rid of people from the competition and then make them dance. (I just started the show). I thought their decisions of who to get rid of were mystifying. I suppose I could go either way on the woman - but the woman they booted dances in her style better than the woman who stayed. Neither was flawless though.
The men: it was just so fucking obvious who they should have kept. I just can't even.

asmine M/Alan: Girl, at least you are getting a ballroom boy doing those lifts and not an animator or something! She looks awkward.
I agree. I was cringing the whole dance because I could envision what a pair of really good ballroom dancers could do with that routine.
BTW, I think this is the most unexciting top 20 on SYTYCD in a while.
