'Shells'

I'm a little bummed about Jaja not making it -- She was pretty good in ballroom, and that's one style more than many of the male hip-hop dancers!
And Johnny Waacks will literally never make it to the show, no matter how good he is at how many styles. NIGEL.
Yeah, I was impressed by Jaja in ballroom, and sad she didn't make it.
I hate the entirety of Vegas week plus Top 20 reveal all going down in one night. Haaaateee!
Also, Tara Lipinski is no Miss Debbie Allen substitute. No how. No way. I only enjoy her when Johnny Weir comes along as part of the package.
Amen to both. I would pay cash money to see like, Vegas week in real time.

The wacking is a little weird. But he also seemed to be really good at the other stuff. Stupid Nigel. Stupid homophobia and weird concepts of masculinity. Hrmph.
Wish they'd actually FOCUSED on a few of the top 20 during the vegas week stuff--I have no idea who most of them are. And while Malena was amazing in her style, I didn't get the impression that she killed it in any of the others, so I am skeptical.
I was HIGHLY amused by the Prima Ballerina chick being so unimpressed by EVERYONE. Damn.
Prima ballerina seemed like she maybe didn't know what this show was about and then when she got there and saw how many of the kids weren't classically trained she turned the haterade on everyone. I quite enjoyed it.
Malena was wholly unimpressive out of her style. She also seems old given the composition of the rest of the group, so it will be interesting to see how that plays out. I'm trying to figure out who she might partner well with and I can only come up with Serge, and they'd never pair two ballroom kids together at the outset. Maybe that hip hop kid who couldn't do the show last year because he got injured right before the premiere? The one who was in JaJa's crew. He might work. Anybody else, probably not.
I was blown away by Johnny Waacks but I agree that there is no way that Nigel would ever put him on the show.
Watching Heroes of Cosplay. How do you do all that work and not have extra batteries?

Totally. Who are these people? I guess I will find out next week. Other than Ricky who is glorious and Marcquet who seems delightful (although anytime he is on screen I just keep trying to remember who he reminds me of, it is driving me nuts that he looks so familiar). Oh, I do like the tappers, especially after their ballroom round, but I'm biased towards that style. Everyone else is kind of a blur.
Disappointed about Jaja and Johnny Waacks - they both were impressive out of their styles, I thought. It would have been fun to see what they could do on the show.
Sonya Tayeh is fucking amazing. That is all.
Yes she is.
So maybe Stanley is my new favorite? As a person/dancer.
Also, I was glad to learn that Malene is foreign and not just oddly-spelled.
(Am waiting for Kat to tell me what to think about the dances...)
