So You Think You Can Dance: Are We Dedicating Blogposts Now?

Because if we are, then I'm dedicating this one to Nicole. Other than being Jewish and living on the left coast, she and I pretty much have nothing in common. However. One of the sayings in AA is, "It works if you work it, so work it, you're worth it." It's a good saying, a true saying (okay it's a little corny). But it's true for any type of therapy. Therapy is hard work, even if you're therapizing yourself. And you do have to work really hard at it. Many of us use blogs as our form of therapy. If you want to see change, or maintain change, you really do have to examine your thoughts and actions, and that's a hard thing to tap into if you weren't raised to do it (like I was). And Nicole* really does work hard at being the person she wants to be, and figuring out who she is. She repeatedly throws herself out there into the blogosphere examining both her actions and her motivations for her actions. Nicole, you impress me, and I'm rooting for you. So this one's for you.

Was anyone else reminded of rainbow fish when they saw Cat Deely's dress tonight? No? Just me? Oh. Well moving on.





Kameron and Lacey - I really felt like Lacey's weird facial expressions distracted me from her dancing. Was anybody else reminded of those facial expressions the girls do at cheer competitions? I did like their ending though.

Cedric and Shauna - I started out really disliking Shauna, but she's grown on me a lot. However I felt like tonight's performance was too Dirty Dancing, and Cedric was no Johnny Castle. Shauna was clearly carrying Cedric in this performance.

Danny and Anya - As always, Danny had great extension in his performance. Anya is an easy person to partner with, and she made Danny look great. The only problem was, Danny didn't make Anya look great, which made him look bad. I agreed with the Dan (the gay judge) about Danny's arrogance. Un-gentlemanly, if you will. Am I the only one who noticed Anya having turn-in, rather than turn-out?

Sara and Pasha - It was a slow start, but really picked up towards the middle, and I absolutely loved it.


Sabra and Dominic - Remember Wilson Cruz, who played Ricky Vasquez on My So-Called Life? Dominic reminds me of him. Sabra's right earring flew off in the middle of their performance and they did a good job of not noticably avoiding slipping on it, which impressed me. I thought Dominic made an ass of himself by saying Cat is from France. He's known her for HOW many months now, and STILL doesn't know where she's from? There's a huge difference between a French accent and a British one. Anyway, I think they'll be in the bottom three.

Jaimie and Hok - Here were my thoughts in the order I had had them: This ain't no waltz. Eh. He'll be in the bottom three. I thought it was cute when Dan (the judge) was encouraging a fight between Mary and Nigel.

Lauren and Neil - They started out a bit too blah for me, but after they hit the stairs, the performance exploded. I loved it.

*In case you're slow, you should in no way take away from this that I called Nicole an alcoholic. I didn't, and as far as I know, she's not. I just liked the saying and think it can apply to more than AA.
