Yeah, I have no idea what the judges see in Ryan. I'd like to see her live just to see if it's something that's not coming across on TV.

Yeah, Chris had a tough season. Sometimes it's like that, poor guy. One more week of the same couples - maybe next week they'll feel okay sending home a mismatched set, since they'll be switching it up after that. And with allstars, I hear! :D :D :D

You know, you have a good point. Everyone did feel sort of dull, like they were tired. I hope that goes away. It always seemed to me that once we hit the top 10 things started to get exponentially tougher and the dancers got more focused as a result. I guess we'll just have to wait and see. (Maybe it's something to do with the schedule - maybe they usually work Mon - Weds, but this week with the 4th of July they only got Tues - Weds, and so they were run ragged a little?)

I dunno about Bollywood. I do enjoy it - the group routine was fabulous - but there was a different feel to the one that Katee and Joshua did in Season 4 than to these. These feel... watered down, to me. Bollywood was one of those styles that if you worked your ass off and got it, you'd be an instant it, but if you didn't get it, you'd be screwed. Now it feels more like any other genre, tough but not precise in the way I expect Bollywood to be, you know? But I would like more of it. I'd really like to know why they choose the styles they do; why are contemporary, jazz, hip hop, ballroom, and broadway accessible enough for any good dancer to get in a short period of time, but ballet and tap are not? I understand they're both specialized and intricate, but... I dunno, man. I'd like to see a greater diversity of dance, definitely.
