Just realized that there a no dancers of color left on SYTYCD

Yeah, that's kind of startling to see.

I'm about half an hour in. So far I've like Emilio, Serge's solo, and this paso doble, especially Zack.

ETA I think I like Carly better outside of her style.

Did not care for that Broadway. I don't really like Teddy, and Emily was just off.

I did like Emily's solo. Casey's was meh, aside from the impressive turns. Liked bits of Casey and Jessica, but on the whole I didn't like it nearly as much as the judges.

Oh, thank god Ricky and Valerie came through on the hip hop. I wasn't sure what to expect.

I'm not sure about Mandy's group number (although I love her twitter handle), loved Travis's.

Oh, man, judges. Not on my wavelength.

I liked the opening group number, but not the later one. I still like Ricky a lot, but still feel like I SHOULD like Valerie, but don't. No idea.

I didn't dislike the opening number, but at this point I don't really remember it, either.

ETA Valerie is totally riding Ricky's coattails for me, but all I was looking for this week was Not Fucking Up from the two of them. And they both came through on that standard.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I really liked the Broadway, but I guess that was just me.
