I am SO proud of Koine for getting 2nd on PURE TALENT alone!! The other three (no disrepsect for their hard work at all) were in the finals because the judges overpraised and the producers wanted them there, but Koine - it was all her and she deserved it all and I was so sure she would get 4th and I am just SO proud!! (My ideal finale was actually 4) Dassy 3) Mark 2) Logan 1) Koine, but as you say "rigged show is rigged" lol so I'll take what I can get.) :)

I was completely ready for her to get 4th too, so I was so happy she got second! I literally didn’t care about the rest of the results since I knew Lex was going to win and Kiki and Taylor are both whatever lmfao. 

The fact that Dassy, Mark, nor Logan didn’t make it to the finale is still a travesty, but I think I’m just very resigned to how this season turned out.

Why do I feel like Nigel is totally not critiquing Lex's samba because he's worked it might take away votes from his chosen one?

It was obvious he didn’t like it, but it was like he knew he couldn’t say anything too bad or else it’d ruin the narrative. Mary was honest for a second, but then she threw in an unnecessary scream at the end to make it still sound good. It’s just such a joke.

I'm very much over the favoritism toward Lex and Taylor right now. You'd think I would be used to this after 14 seasons. But like, Nigel, after that trio piece, blowing over Kaylee and Logan to say how amazing his chosen boy was in his solos?? That was seriously so rude especially after Logan OWNED that dance. Like, Lex can do cool tricks, but I never connect with him, and he never truly opens his chest or completes his lines, so for me, Logan is the contemporary boy of the season. Bye Nigel.

I think I’m just resigned to the favoritism to Lex at this point. Kinda like Amy from season 10–she was actually good at pretty much everything, but the overpraising made me roll my eyes every time she was on the screen. I’ve just accepted that Lex is going to win because the majority of the voting audience is listening to Nigel, and my consolation is that Lex is at least mildly versatile.

It’s the Taylor and Kiki praising that drives me nuts. They have legit ignored the fact that every routine Taylor has done out of her style hasn’t been good at all and continue fawning over her generic contemporary and jazz performances like we haven’t seen this over 9000 times. And don’t get me started on Kiki (again).

Agreed that Nigel talking about Lex’s solo and not acknowledging Logan’s stellar performance in the contemporary group was shitty, though.

Holy crap, Mark! Look at all of those Broadway jazz moves! Spencer was NOT backing down, he made Mark do all the things, why can't Kiki's choreographers challenge him like that?

Question of the ages. 

I thought Travis would give him more to do since he even choreographed more for Cyrus ffs, but nobody seems to want to make him do things when they can just make Jenna do them instead.

1) Um, thank you for the Taylor leg thing! My sister and I have this habit of talking to the contestants during the show: "okay Taylor, that was pretty and all, but you did three 'legs'". I mean we see those in every single contemporary competition solo. 2) I agree with what you said about how having All Stars out of their style does not help the contestant. I love Cyrus but he struggled in the routine last week and poor Kaylee has had a few rough looking dances as a result. Weird format.

1) It’s really frustrating because she’s actually a beautiful dancer, but it’s like a compulsion she has. We get it, Taylor. You have a nice leg.

2) Yeah, I liked their jazz routine, but it was Cyrus who brought it down, and that surprised nobody. And what on EARTH are they gonna do when they get ballroom??? I’m not sure I wanna see that…

If he didn't like it as a sequel, then sure he is entitled to his opinion but why did he make it sound like it was Jaja's fault?

Yeah, that’s what I didn’t get. I don’t get why he framed it like she didn’t do well. Jaja slaughtered that routine.

I am 100% done with Nigel and Jason. Can I vote them off. Also why were we surprised that Megz didn't have a hip hop solo. We know this about her. Come on. (Nigel, we means you.) You didn't educate her outside of hip hop dude. She didn't learn to be a "well-rounded dancer" from your show. Geesh. Also Jason. Please stop. Like when is a performance good enough for you man? I feel like he keeps blaming the contestants for choreography that he doesn't love. Who knew Paula would be my favorite judge.

Yes, can we please vote them off? I am so done with them pretending that Megz has never done anything other than hip-hop for her entire life, like WATCH THE PACKAGES ON YOUR OWN SHOW. How many times does she have to say that she’s had plenty of formal training?? 

And Jason just needed to stop. I would honestly prefer him being like every other celebrity judge and just liking everything without giving much feedback instead of the crap that comes out of his mouth every week.

I can't wait to hear your thoughts on the Team Street number. I completely disagreed with the Afterbuzz panel, I loved that routine! I have re-watched it several times. I think people just get bored when there's not 1,000 tricks and flips to freak out over. I mean, I know nothing of hip hop so I probs can't have a huge say but I just thought they were so cool in that routine.

That routine is one my favorite group routines and in my top two of the night. It was the best thing ever. I have several reasons why, but it made me SO HAPPY. And Megz destroyed it.
