Also, PS: You were right about the Amanda v. Helen who's in charge question.

I do think it was Helen up until that week though.

And now I have to go Google her eyebrows

Hi, East Coast peeps! Live viewing SYTYCD. I totally forgot what this is like.

Cat looks like she’s going to dance ballroom later.

Dance Ins: Paul is really just a little ball of charisma. He draws the eye like crazy.

Why isn’t Miss Debbie Allen on the panel again? She should so be a permanent judge. Oh, but if I can’t have Miss Debbie Allen, I’ll take JTF. He’s delightful!

Ah, group dance. Jazz. Sean Cheesman. Ailey business. Jasmine and Aaron are ruling that center. Giving me life in that Judith Jamison way. Aaron is just a man out there. Fik Shun is doing it to it as well. I see you young man, giving me those contractions. Work! The less said about Hayley and Amy in this dance the better. Amy and her perma-smile in particular are just so wrong for this dance. Paul is keeping up better. He’s not pulling my eye in a negative way. I would’ve liked to see that routine with different dancers. I also would’ve like for it to be less of a direct rip off of Ailey. But apparently, I don’t always get what I want.

Paul and Kathryn/Jazz/Tasty/Tied Up/Yelo – Tasty can do OK provided he’s not doing Broadway and Paul is really versatile. And of course I adore the high talker. I’m jazzed about this jazz. Lovely starting visual. And from the jump, Kathryn is ready. I feel like I saw her do this solo before somewhere else. Paul is certainly the most versatile ballroom boy they’ve ever had. He’s way better than Pasha in non-ballroom styles. He’s got a gorgeous toe point. Really gets down in his plié. He can throw away a lot of that ballroom dance body position in a way that I don’t think any other ballroom boy has been able to. I thoroughly enjoyed that. Nifty routine. Fun. The judges are right. This kid is a real dance chameleon. I wonder how much cross training he’s had. Being on SYTYCD Armenia set him up well. Also, he’s awfully pretty.

Amy/Anna’s Theme/ The Red Violin - Her body is just so everything that a dancer’s body should be. She’s a little bit out of control tonight. Her center is off and her turns are wobbly which is not something I normally associate with her. It was just an OK solo. She’s been much much better.

Joshua. Hip hop hooray!

Oh, I really liked it. It was so joyful.

Yeah, that was a beautiful dance, I thought. But Amy's face was a mess. I loved Jasmine and Aaron, but I always do.

Jasmine and Aaron are made for each other. They're my new Melanie and Marko.

I thought it was a beautiful dance but from the costumes to the movement, it was so derivative of Ailey. It was like watching Tasty choreograph Broadway while just doing a poor man's version of Fosse. I don't mind if you are inspired by other choreographers, but bring something new to the table. If I were Ailey's lawyer, I'd be readying my lawsuit. That was my problem with it. Also, Amy and Hayley were distracting because they were wrong for the style of the dance. It didn't suit them, although both of them on their own are lovely dancers.

Jasmine and Aaron are made for each other. They're my new Melanie and Marko.

Yes, they should just dance together all the time. Definitely in the pantheon of great SYTYCD couples with Melanie and Marko, Joshua and Katee, Benji and Donyelle . . . all that there.

Hayley and Joshua/Hip Hop/Work Hard, Play Hard/Whiz Khalifa – Lots of messing about at the beginning that I could’ve done without. But Hayley is hitting it harder than I thought she could at the beginning. Joshua is a beast up there. He’s totally outdancing her without even trying. She is giving it a good go, but she just looks so wrong next to Joshua because he looks so effortlessly right. It’s also unfortunate that this is following on the Katy Perry VMAs performance because now I can’t see anything else. That was not a bad routine from NappyTab though. Hard hitting grooves and a little stank on it. Joshua is still the cutest thing ever. Hayley was not terrible. She made it through this hip hop much better than her last outing with Chris Scott. She lost energy about halfway through but she was giving it.

Fik Shun/Look at Me Now/Chris brown, Lil Wayne and Busta -. Great music choice (just have to hold my nose and take Chris Brown’s presence on the track) and he is just killing it. Delightful solo as always. He is a wonderful popper. I could’ve seen a lot more of that.

I can't even read "Melanie and Marko" in my head without it being in Cat's voice.

BTW, wasn't Cat saying "the performance finale next week" last week?
