I wonder how much "starring role" means actual starring role vs. just being in it. And how much that will affect the judging for a winner...

I was wondering the same thing!

I'll just point and nod at everything y'all said. Especially

Give me a panel of Misty, Miss Debbie Allen and...maybe Christina Applegate any day!

How fun and informative would that be! Yes, please.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

No comments on SYTYCD??

Non-dance-based comments:

a) Misty is everything!

b) What is up Nigel's butt??

c) So embarrassed for Rudy and Jacque.

d) Even more angry at Nigel, because "what America said" is just a fucking cop out.

I CANNOT BELIEVE I HAVE TO WATCH WITHOUT COMMENTARY TO READ!!!

The first routine did remind me in a way of the Mark Chelsea, but not nearly as good.

I am just watching now (oh no I will have to form my own opinions without checking out Kat's as I go! Eep!).

Love the group number!

And I love Cat's outfit.

"We have trust issues." Mylar

So, I was watching and taking notes last night which I thought I saved but then I realized that I hadn't saved them at all and that made me very sad but then I realized that I am actually home this week with DVR and therefore I can just watch the dances again and that made me very happy and then I realized that aside from Bridget and Emilio's Jive, Ricky and Valerie's Viennese Waltz and Rudy and Tanisha's Broadway, I didn't really want to watch any of the other dances again and that made me sad but then I thought about Misty and how, as Jesse noted, she is everything and how she called out Stanley and Jessica on their crazy over-the-top and egregious mugging plus Bonnie Storey nailed Casey and Brooklyn for the technique face and that made me happy again, plus Cat's adult onesie made me very happy in a Studio 54 kinda way so what I'm saying is that I did watch and I have thoughts, but they will probably come in a little while.

Oh, that was a good jive! How fun. Bridget and Emilio were super cute in the little talky bit - Bridget totally won a lot of good will with that "a lot of people have magic wands" comment.

I don't know if I could have really appreciated any dance to that Buble cover of Queen. That's just weird, and not the kind of weird I like.

And fun Broadway! Hooray!

Loved the Viennese waltz, but I almost always do, so. But that was lovely.
