Hah--Kay, I'm with ya, on being in a hotel (though that's more my normal habitat anyway). And I feel like extreme weight loss isn't as bad as some because it lasts a whole year?

Not loving the ABDC rip off. One, I don't want Beiber on my TV. Two, not only is it an ABDC rip off but they are also using recycled contestants (Poreotix were already contestants on ABDC). And three, did I mention Beiber? On TV? On my favorite show? Hell to the naw.

Yuuup. I was watching on some tape delay, but not enough, so I watched some commercials on purpose to be able to ff through the Beibs.

So, I'm kind of ...offended? By the guy going back twice in a row, only because isn't half the point of the choreo round that you only have X amount of time to learn it? I'm assuming it's the same choreo in each city. It seems like an unfair advantage if you've got the money to chase the auditions.

Well, except his problem the first time wasn't as much that he couldn't learn the choreography as that he was a bad partner. And maybe having the extra rehearsal time gave him the base to be able to be a better partner, but that he improved where he needed to so quickly is still pretty impressive.

It's not like it's exactly a fair process in general.

BAH.

That said, his second audition made me like him less.

Aw, I didn't mind him. I just didn't think it was realistic for him to think he could improve his partnering enough in that space of time to make difference. Usually when people come back, it's the next year, right?

I also didn't know Jenna Elfman was a dancer once! And I hated everything that had to do with Beiber.

I attended a lengthy dance recital tonight, with numerous numbers danced by high schoolers, and boy did it make me realize just how good the kids on STYTCD are. (I mean, the kids I saw tonight were nice kids, and there were some fun numbers, but only one girl out of 20 even had a center and pointed her toes.)

I didn't appreciate the kid who came back. It is absolutely a leg up to already know the choreo because then you are just cleaning and practicing while everybody else is learning. Also, I didn't think he'd done that much better the second time. He just seemed to get a better partner. She certainly helped out more with that final lift than did the first girl. Bottom line, he's nowhere near good enough to make the show and I'm sure the judges know that. Seemed like they just wanted a compelling storyline and they always need redshirts for Vegas Week (which seems like it's gonna be LA Week this year? Which is wrong like a wrong thing) And I know sometimes the judges put kids through to Vegas just so the kid can have the experience. Going throught that process will make you a better dancer even if you only last one round. Still, I didn't care for it.

Yeah, it was a bit obnoxious, but I figure there's no way he'll make it through Vegas, so in the long run, NBD. I do always feel bad for people (either in choreo or later in Vegas) who get stuck with shitty partners.
