Mine,too. And normally I hate sob stories and the contestants that go along with them, but I'll be darned if the first DC girl who was there with her aunt and the hip hop guy whose mom passed away didn't completely suck me in. And they were good dancers to boot. (Although the girl needs a little bit of seasoning, to be honest. Very immature dancer)
And then Brandon(?), the formerly underage, now of age, dancer was phenomenal. Amazing, amazing. Couldn't take my eyes off of him amazing. Yeah, I think they're definitely showing more good auditions tonight than they did last Wednesday.

Hell, yeah. Head and shoulders above anyone we've seen so far. I can't wait to see what he does on the show. He'll need an equally strong partner, I'd hate to seem him go early for a poor one.
Aww. I feel so badly for Anthony, our lovely ribbon boy. He is a beautiful dancer with flawless technique, but he should go someplace where they will love him. Nigel is a dick and a huge homophobe and he could go in there and dance better than some Cortez/Thomas/Baryshnikov/Nuryev hybrid super-dancer and he still wouldn't get on the show. And it was evil to put him through to the choreo because they knew good and well that he wasn't going to Vegas.
Crappy way to end, but a great show overall.
I have no gaydar to speak of, but there were a number of male dancers who pinged me besides Anthony. And Nigel let them through. I'm not saying he's not a big ole homophobe, he is. I think he either has a stricter set of criteria or a quota system and Anthony was too late in the show.
If you can "dance like a dude," you're OK.

I couldn't agree more. Nigel's homophobia and heteronormativity keeps getting more blatant.
Apparently you could agree more after all.
I found hidden reserves of agreement at the last minute.
