I missed the first hour (boo late plane and LA traffic!) and will have to catch up on my TiVo later, but did love the French popper girl and Fikshun. So adorbs! Even if he is like, 12 years old.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

Fik-shun was a street dancer in Vegas, wasn't he?

"We have trust issues." Mylar

Fik-shun is from Vegas, so I'm also wondering if he maybe knew Mary Poppins from before. How many poppers are performing on the streets of Vegas? I am still entirely charmed by their little duet.

I just have to say that I cannot with the Bieber on my TV, especially not now. And if he foists Break Sk8 on my televised dance show yet again, I am going to go HAM all over my living room. I hated them on ABDC. I hate them now. Hate that whole dance crew competition. Ptui.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Because books.

Aw, the eighteen-and-a-half-year-old nine-year-old is a big part of why I love this show. No matter what else you can say about Nigel, his encouragement of young dancers, and of dance in general, is really outstanding.

As much as I loathe Justin Bieber (and I really, really do), I can see that as another way for Nigel to keep the show on the air and keep viewer interest high, especially with a young audience.

Seriously, Cyrus and Fik-shun and this kid are the best.

Edit: I take it back. TWITCH and this kid are the best!

His FACE. "My dream came true!"

I also love that they're inviting pro dancers to judge auditions. Misty Copeland! Very cool.

I can't help it, though. When Mary starts crying, I follow.

Danger is my middle name, only I spell it R. u. t. h. - Tina Belcher.

Did I hallucinate or did anyone else see that commercial for a Fox show starring David Tennant?

This kid with the creature dance reminded me of Mark.

He was great! I love this show. So totally my happy place.

And yes, that show -- Gracepoint -- is based on the British show Broadchurch (I think?) that he also starred in. Looks good.
