How apropos that you have a photo of Cat on the appliance that rhymes with how she pronounces "judges."

Yeah, I think Nigel wanted to remind the voters/viewers of something that happened however many weeks ago. Still, it's a LOT better than season 6 where they pretended Russell never had training despite going to a performing arts HS and him saying as much during his auditions.

For the first half of the episode, I was wondering if there was something wrong with my TV because ALL the white dancers looked like their moms are tanning addicted horribly sunburned. But then Amelia popped up white as a ghost and dispelled that notion immediately.

Nigel actually was right about the VW, which (along with American Waltz and Foxtrot) doesn't compare well against the over-the-top, hyper-butch stylings of Paso Doble — where one is seething and violent and dramatic, the other is stately and serene. Guess which one doesn't translate well onto TV?

Joining the ShankLove. In a more just world, he'd be in charge of SYTYCD while Nigel would be the one shepherding cinematic bombs.

It does seem like such a tantalizingly easy fix, no? Sometimes, there are some numbers that don't use much of the stage or follow relatively planar lines of movement and where the hyperactive camerawork enlivens them a great deal.

Also, why did NappyTabs feel compelled to make up a whole new genre name when they could've just described Amelia and Will's number for what it actually is: Jazz.

See, if the dancers hadn't been 18 and 21, I think they could've breathed greater depth and quiet into such uniformly loud and grandly gestural choreography (which you're spot on about, I'm surprised Travis so fully embraced the saccharine with this number — maybe he's saving his better routines for his own series,…

As a longtime viewer, I kind of have to lol at "underrated" re: camerawork. For the first 4-5 seasons, it was utterly horrid — way too often framing the dancers so that we couldn't see their feet, entirely cropping out one of the partners, etc. It's not as bad as it used to be, but it's far from being ideal.

Your idea sounds more radical/interesting, but I'm under the impression that it's going to go w/ the first season's voting system (and the one that's used by ABDC) where we get eliminations every week at the end of a show, and the vulnerable dancers are those based on the voting tallies based on the previous week's…
