Love seeing Randy and Bubbles together after Tilghman Middle School.

I wish we'd see another Wade routine before the show is cancelled. I think his last season was 6 (the top twenty jazz gangs routine is an all-time favorite).

The edits during both the four-person Street dance and the Street group routine kind of bummed me out with how blatantly they were covering for Asaf (and B1 to some extent). The cuts and the tight shots couldn't cover all of the choreo missteps and bigger picture issues. And at the end of the the group routine there

I mostly remember Evan being talented and loved by the judges, but he was also someone I rooted against in the finale. Mostly out of fear that he'd someone beat Jeanine, Brandon, and Kayla, who were stellar and more versatile. Or maybe I was upset that he was around longer than Ade.

The lack of artifice and the general support for one another make these kids great to watch. The tiny one are especially uninhibited and I just love it.

So many warm fuzzies. This show melts my cold black heart and I instantly start rooting for almost every contestant. On this show it's not even a matter of favorites for me since I like them all, it's a matter of "most" favorites (Oona! Sean!).

Oddly, one of the biggest laughs for me came from a total throwaway. Schmidt describing how he came across the purse: "It was raining and I was bored and feeling snoopy."

I thought that they indicated that it would have triggered "Kevin"

After watching it about a dozen times I just noticed a bonkers one-arm lift that Rudy does. That's all.

I knew Ricky would win, but I was rooting for Zack. He made me feel feelings and seemed like what SYTYCD is about. He also seemed like an exception to the show's tendency to use the term "growth" for keeping around a somewhat mediocre dancer. He really did develop a lot.

I feel like I was waiting all season for something like the "Sweet Disposition" group dance. The top four's Travis Wall routine was good, but this one from Scott/Tayah was just joyful and thrilling. So much to look at and everyone seemed to be having FUN.

Not sure if a few days later people will see this, but watch the "Still Rolling" clips if they get released. They did one of these after the first elimination and again after the double-elimination. It's just really interesting (and touching) insight into how the dancers, judges, choreographers, etc interact on stage

Zack's near-tears face the whole time he was on stage with Cat was killing me. Poor muffin.

While I fully understand the love for Ricky and his amazing technical skills, I am still kind of meh on him. It kind of feels similar to Kayla in season 5 — amazing dancer, but I just never rooted for her. I am still hoping for that moment where I *want* Ricky to stay on, rather than just feel that it's inevitable. I

Don't forget the 1920s-themed paintball from "Paradigms of Human Memory."

I'm a bit confused about how they're explaining the formatting for the end of the season. Is next week the finale with six dancers? I think the only time they've ever done that was season six, which was pretty unsuccessful even if you discount the outcome.

While I'm really happy with the way the show responded to the outcry last week,  I was acutally pretty underwhelmed with the dances last night. I was watching with a first-time-viewer and found myself making excuses for the sorta boring episode. Aside from Jenna/Tucker and Malece/Marko I was so bored. The contemporary

I think SilentSpy was implying that you are somewhat coming off as a combination between fourteen-year-old doodling hearts in her notebook and a Twilight-mom posting YouTube comments. Like whoever you want, just be respectful of the boards (where editing to add information in a single post is preferable to polluting

I like Balmorhea and I like this.
