And did anyone else want to slap the taste out of Nigel's mouth when he said that Robert had an advantage over ballroom people in the quickstep because unlike them, he had technique.

Yeah, when I heard that, I gave my tv a look of "what does that mean?" :eyebrow:

Wait...wha? He said that? (I didn't watch the show.)
What is that supposed to mean?

hah... that cracked me up... wondering was it ignorance or just glibness?

Considering that glib can also mean a lack of understanding or accuracy I'd say both.

On a serious note, I believe that Nigel's more well informed than he would lead us to believe. I just think that he's taking his "role" as head producer and judge a bit too seriously, or too far, by throwing out these soundbites that are designed to amuse or infuriate us. It's working.

I did a double take too but *I think* what meant was that he had an advantage over regular people new to ballroom like he is in that he had other technical dance training regular people who start ballroom don't. I.e. he knows what good posture is, etc. At least I hope he meant that!

I agree with you, except about his posture.. His butt was sticking out all dance, and I noticed how wardrobe was made in a way that will kind of hide it.... maybe that's why Mia keep asking him to take ballet, so he will make his center stronger and tight.

How absolutely heartbreaking for Alex. :-( :-( :-(

Alex, good thoughts for a speedy recovery!!!

And, I don't have the same desire to watch the show, now. Bummer.

I am VERY VERY VERY sad about Alex's situation. I really hope his surgery went well and that he will have a successful recovery. I wonder if he will try out again next year. They didn't let it sound like that at the end of the show... Really sad about this. He is one of the best dancers I've seen in our generation.

I had mixed feelings about Lauren's Cha Cha too. She was HOT but...she didn't really do much Cha Cha...

I LOVED Billy's Macavity and was very surprised to see him in the bottom three. WHO is putting him there?

I liked the Jaguar routine too. Agreed that the judges were a bit harsh on Adechike (but I'm not a huge fan of him). Surprised he wasn't in the bottom three. Maybe he got sympathy votes?

I really liked what Adam said about the Prom routine...it was a bit embarassing to watch but that's what I liked about it. Thought the routine suited the two of them very nicely and helped both of them in the show.
