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.

Marisa/Asaf: We all agree, he's terrible. Casper has gone to the bathroom so as not to hear the critique because she's so embarrased for him. I mean, can this boy dance at all? He just got on this show because he's pretty and looks good with his shirt off, right? Marisa did the best she could, and was really game. Poor woman.

Because books.

Asaf is the kind of dancer who makes me angry on this show, when the others are so great. Especially when he gets the cute boy vote.

Burim/Ariana/Gaby: We liked this dance although both kids were like "CHEESEMAN???" (I secretly love Sean Cheeseman and his over the top doesn't even exist African Jazz.) The girls were awesome, and I hope they don't waste the whole critique on the weakness of Burim. Casper loved the ladies lifting each other. Oh wait, Gaby is a tap dancer??

Neptune/Kate: That was really good. It was Neptune's dance. Kate was just sort of there to me. Casper: "Oh Neptune is so good, and I love his name, too!" I also loved Twitch's strong mentoring support. He's such a great person.

Virgil/Hailee: Casper: "That was whaaaa!" I actually thought they lost some energy in the middle and it was a little slow. Okay, the after-dance adorableness is slaying me. Virgil is a tiny little man, isn't he?

So far, Virgil and Jaja are the only dancers I've really connected with. I adore Jaja.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Yay family flea! Good comments all. (I also always think CHEESE MAN.)

OMG I realize why I stopped watching the actual show. I hate listening to the judges talk.

This is why I watch on Tivo delay. I can fast forward through the critique and the talk and just watch the damned dancing.

Marisa/Asaf: We all agree, he's terrible. Casper has gone to the bathroom so as not to hear the critique because she's so embarrased for him. I mean, can this boy dance at all? He just got on this show because he's pretty and looks good with his shirt off, right?

This.

Asaf is the kind of dancer who makes me angry on this show, when the others are so great. Especially when he gets the cute boy vote.

And this. He's adorable. And I would do very naughty things to/with/for him if given the opportunity. But he can't dance out of his style and it's a crime that they kept him over Burim. I am angry with the judges. I knew that if it came down to America's vote, he might win, but I thought that the judges would have some damned integrity and respect for dance.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.

WTF judges.
