I chalked both of those situations up to "reality TV crapola".  I think Nigel's "no" was inserted into the mix only to reinforce the "drama" of the panel's having been split; she did a superb solo to killer music but yet he didn't want us to know the whole situation had been staged in the first place by a unanimous…

I dunno…I'd love to have heard some of the onstage mutterings during ANY of the routines, but particularly that one.  I've done some stage work waaaaay back in the day; am not a dancer but was one of those performers dubbed "a singer who moves".  Was part of a couple of broadway choruses, massively huge opera…

I agree that it might not matter as much as I'm suspecting it will. I think the key difference this season is the fact that America, in essence, will be choosing the actual winner (unless of course Nigel hates America's winner in which case he'll just appoint his own) - but barring that I'm thinking that the cute…

Agreed; it was out of place and also managed to pretty much upstage all the other dancers.  I'm trying to think - how often have we seen the belly dancer withOUT that big gold thing??  She doesn't do it for me, cape or no…but then again I'm not all googly-eyed over the two blonde ballroom girls, either.  I actually…

ComPLETEly and excitedly agree.  All night I was muttering to anyone who'd listen about the unfairness of the incredibly inordinate amounts of screen time given to cyrus, to the pretty blonde whose beauty Tyce is no longer enamored BY (grrr.), both of the cute blonde ballroom girls….I mean hey.  I just say it is…

I'm not sure I'm as big a fan of cyrus as many here seem to be, but maybe he'll grow on me.  I AM interested to see how he'll do when all the hoopla is over and we can watch some actual dancing - y'know, two people on the stage, a boy and a girl, some choreography…having a real hard time envisioning cyrus's waltz, or…

I can't recall the last time I enjoyed a reality show competition as much as I did tonight's.  Not the show so much (agree about the corny music, drawn-out drama, etc.)…but yowza did some of the dancing really GET to me.  Amelia knocked me OUT with her solo to elmer bernstein's stunner of a score (from To Kill a…

I was so pissed that not ONE of them snapped back, "OK, Yeah, but are you enamored OF it????  HUH???  You stupid goddamned jackhole piece of shit!!!!"
