If There Is a Heaven, That's How They Dance There

Really, could there even be any bigger compliment than that? When Mia Michaels said that to Ashlee on So You Think You Can Watch So You Think You Can Dance Without Getting Tears In Your Eyes, it took my breathe away. Anyone a writer for a tv show? Anyone? Anyone at all? I want to know if these people think this shit up on their own. Are they allowed to say whatever they want, is it fully scripted, or are they given a paper that has one column for Compliments and one for Insults and a third for Nice Insults?

When they showed Ashlee's montage, I agreed with Mia's statement. She is a fantastic dancer. However, her solo performance tonight sucked in comparison to the other two girls, and whoever picked out her dress should be taken out back and shot. Seriously. That dress should be burned.

Oh, Ricky. His solo performance was amazing. I don't even have to add, "for someone who got such a late start" to that, because he was in his element. Honestly, all three guys were great, and I wish they could have sent home two girls instead of one guy and one girl. Nigel was right in saying Ricky has amazing extension and carriage. Read his profile - I would not be surprised if Ricky goes far.

Nobody is loved more than Benji Schwimmer. Dude should run for president. The screaming was so loud that Cat Deely could barely be heard (but who was listening to anything she said anyway?). Is it horribly cruel if I say that a huge part of what makes Benji a great dancer is his personality, rather than his technical ability?

I love this show a thousand times more than So You Think You Can Make Simon Smile.
