This is my life

Yes to much of the above. Nigel has a real thing for Ryan, but he's the only one. She's wimpy--there's no core there, it's all fluff, and she's annoying. The tippy-toeing around the stage and waving her arms to show emotion grates on me no end.

Poor Chris--he suffers so every Thursday, you can see how wound up and terrified he is of the judging.

It was a weak show. IMO, there was a combination of lackluster choreography and exhaustion on the part of the dancers. Sasha is like an Energizer Bunny, but she didn't have a lot of spark this week. Those kids need some time to sleep and play.

I have to "me-too" your comment about mixing up the couples. I'd also like to see some new styles--disco, as you mention, and Bollywood as something other than a group number, to name two.
