Oh I finally get where all the hair flinging from certain dancers on SYTYCD comes from.
Mal: So we run. Nandi: I understand, Captain Reynolds. You have your people to think of, same as me. And this ain't your fight. Mal: Don't believe you do understand, Nandi. I said 'we run'. We.

Because books.
SYTYCD: I loved the opening number, and the two group numbers tonight. Loved having Sonia back, too.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
Fish burlesque though?

Opening number -- 100% pure love. (what, someone had to say it). Surprised it was Brian Friedman, I usually don't like his stuff.
A few thoughts:
The Jim/Yorelis Sonja Taiya number was INCREDIBLE. There was this tiny moment where Jim was holder Yorelis' upper body up in this very stiff pose, and she suddenly just . . . deflated.
continue to love Yaya. I think that sometimes hip hop dancers get dinged for not hitting it hard when they are dancing with a stage dancer and they bring it down for their partner. You know that she could have been much harder, but part of dancing with a partner is synchronicity, and when the contemporary dancer can't hit it, they have to dance down to them.
Didn't love the burlesque number. Maybe because Adriana felt so heavy in it. Nigel's dead fish comment was mean, but it wasn't inaccurate.
Love Megz. Done.
Neptune was amazing in that contemporary number. I forgot he was a "street" dancer.
The jazz number with Kate and JJ had no energy. I'm not a fan of that cutesy girl dance style, but I can at least appreciate it if it's done well. This wasn't.

As long as it isn't Dom I'll be happy.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
I'm slightly annoyed that by kicking off four girls, SYTYCD evened out the gender ratios for the Top 10. I believe that the "twitter save" was legit, but it still bugs.

SYTYCD, the ratio of good routines to bad is not so great so far. I just was not feeling a couple of them.

America's Best Dance Crew
I have some mixed feelings about this season.
I really dislike the judges. I miss Lil Mama and JC Chasez. The host also doesn't do much for me.
I do really like Kinjaz, but it almost feels like this season was created to try to make a new Jabbawockeez out of them.
Top crews for me (by far) are Kinjaz, Quest Crew and Super Crew.
