WHUT.
Yay! thanks for the heads up.
Sir? I think you have a problem with your brain being missing.

Happy with the two leaving. I'm happy with everyone who's left. Now, it will get harder to lose people.

Cat's dress was also not good. It looked like swinging '60s London but cutesy or something.

I liked SYTYCD tonight, but the choreographers' explanations for the routines were way more convoluted than usual. I was like "huh?" about half the time.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Yeah, I'm about ready for someone to bust out "It's two people -- dancing!" again. So refreshing.

I so miss the first season, when the intros were all explanations of the style and how you did it properly. And then the couples just danced, generally without props or back story.
I feel old.

SYTYCD: I'm really getting tired of all the dances having stories. Why not just ... dance for the sake of dancing?
I guess I missed the first season - I would like having something with less backstory. Maybe it would get the wardrobe people to calm down.
And the pirate paso doble? I liked the dance (Alex!) but the whole story left me kind of ... meh.

Also, paso doble? Built in story, you do not need another one!
Season 1 was 45% ballroom styles so by default there was less backstory, but if you look at the contemporary (lyrical) pieces, they are clearly not "backstory" pieces either: [link]
ETA: That link is to a YouTube playlist of all Season 1 dances.
