I screamed at the TV four times last night, and only one of those times was for a dancer.

To that, I say, "Go Phil!"

It was in the background at one point, you are correct.

God bless you Emily, and your incredibly appropriate response to Chris vis. his "opera singer" label. I feel the same way every time Katherine Jenkins (over on Dancing With The Stars) is referred to as an opera singer.

I guess I should have been clearer: I never really had a connection to any of the singers this season. There were good ones, for sure, and there are good ones left. I just don't find/haven't found myself in any one contestant's corner this season like I was with Vicci Martinez last season.

I realized last night that I really have zero connection to anybody left on this show. Normally, by this time, you have a favorite — someone who you are rooting for. At this point, it's just a bunch of people singing on a stage.

I'm ashamed that I didn't catch the joke until you pointed it out. Excuse me while I go write an apology note to my high school English teacher.

Yeah, I'm a terrible human being.

Did I miss them airing Colton's "I don't care" on performance night? Because the first time I heard it was on results night, meaning that it really couldn't have had an impact on the voting.
Then again, I DVR and fast foward a lot, so it's possible I missed it on performance night.

I admit, I miss out on most of what the judges say because as soon as I see them all stand up with yet another standing ovation, I just fast-forward or go to the bathroom, or get a drink (sometimes all 3), because I know that what's going to follow is two minutes of smoke being blown up asses.

We tend to fast-forward through most of the commentary once we get the idea of whether the judges are going to love or hate the performance, so I'm quite sad I missed the SYTYCD NappyTabs shoutout.

For the record, Jessica didn't do anything really original to the Beyonce tune, as Beyonce, herself, did that version of that song on her Thanksgiving concert.

That would have made a great deal more sense, if for no other reason than to try to emphasize the merge.

We're merged! One tribe!

Thanks to my DVR, I keep missing the commercial because I keep, well, skipping the commercials. I never realize that I missed it until I catch the reviews the next day.

My wife and I were laughing through the entire Erin / Shields Bros performance. It was a giant joke disguised as a serious performance.
