And Mia Michaels should stop projecting what she would have instructed the dancers to do with the choreography, and critique what they did do. Granted, it’s a fine, fine line, but often times she went more with attacking the dancers than the choreography. Yes, some of the dancers could have “hit it harder” as they often said, but maybe the routine could have been better. It was just appalling to hear every single judge stroke every single choreographer’s ego. Yes…we get it…they’re all amazing and talented. We knew that already.

Finally–can you tell I wasn’t a fan of last night’s show?–it is so clear which dancers are the judges’ favorites and which dancers they want to go through. Will is good but he doesn’t leave me (or the friends I watch with) breathless. Kherington and Twitch are adorable (my favorites), but could Nigel, for one week, not pontificate about how beautiful Kherington is? I mean, she is…but it’s getting kind of creepy. And Nigel’s animated, “this is what the dance should look like”? Yikes. Bad, just bad.

I’m too big of a fan not to watch this entire season, but I am disappointed with this season thus far. Hopefully things pick up!
