I don't miss the dance for your life. With very few exceptions, they were pretty terrible and despite the judges' huddle afterwards, I don't think they ever made a difference in who the judges decided to send home. That's primarily a producer driven decision. That said, I'd rather see more of the kids dancing and less of America attempting (mostly poorly) to do Chris Scott's choreography or have to see random musical acts. More than anything, I'd love for them to go back to having professional dance troupes on as guest artists. That was amazing and brilliant.
Funny thing about black and white. You mix it together and you get gray. And it doesn't matter how much white you try and put back in, you're never gonna get anything but gray.

I think I'm just feeling picky or something. I am not loving most of this choreo or dancers. I'm barely able to distinguish who the heck these folks are! I do like Misty Copeland as a judge, though.
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
This is totally my feeling! Yes.
Lacey Schwimmer looks awful with blonde hair, dang. Also, thank god they finally waltzed to a song that is actually a waltz!!!
I wonder if they're having more/better/different broadway this year because of the prize being "on the Town"?
However, I will also be in LA on the Wednesday night of August 13th, which I think would be the Top 10! Anyone want to have a watch party? OMG< or go see "Step Up All In"????

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
I definitely don't know who the dancers are/can't tell them apart, but I blame the judges/Nigel for feeling lukewarm -- that skeleton number was great, especially the girl whose name I can't remember!

I was trying hard to remember her name, too, because, yeah, she was good. Carly?

(a) That makes sense. (b) Now I'm picturing the negotiations "Ok, we will cast whoever wins in On the Town but NO TYCE BROADWAY"

Carly was everything in that skeleton hip hop! Serge was OK, but Pasha was better at hip hop in his routine with Lauren and he also wore a skeleton hoodie so game, set, match, Pasha.

Ummm, yes to all of the above!

Woohoo! This will be fun. Maybe we could get the bonBaby?

Hey, Face Off is back again! (I didn't see it, but it was apparently on last night.)

I'm sorry to see Marquette go, but I gotta say that he didn't live up to his early promise. Although, I couldn't get a sense of him in group numbers, he was always in the back, and I wonder if it was a producer decision or he just wasn't good so they were putting him in the back.
