I don't think I could stay up until 1 AM in order to be able to discuss the results with a west coastie. I'm usually ready to chat when everyone is off having dinner. I will add you to my YIM though. :)

Well, I should be free for midnight chatting this Thursday since I don't have to be up for work the next day. Unless I fall asleep or forget and put in a DVD or something.

Steph--I've seen you online that late. Maybe you're off in another room sleeping?

Are you crazy? This stuff is *important*! I expect you to arrange your work and nap schedules accordingly! :p

Okay, as Matterhorn Fan knows, I voted for Travis like a teenage fangirl last night. I think I must have dialed his line about 20 times. "Thank you for voting for dancer number 3."

Travis was great last night. The judges were right about the group number - he totally stole it. I loved that group number by the way.

I'm actually considering getting tickets for the touring show. They go on sale this Saturday. I will have to bring earplugs to drown out the high pitched screams if I do go to the show.

You mean you're not going to go see the winner in Celine Dion's show?

I'm considering going to the tour, too.

As MF knows, I have issues with the costuming. What was up with putting Donyelle in the high-waisted pants over and over again? Were they concerned we might not notice she is not a stick? That we might miss the deliciously round hiney? ARG! Scary old guy judge had been so great at complimenting her and saying she's not too fat to dance, but apparently the costumer disagrees. At least she looked hot in the last number, when Heidi had to wear scary leg warmers and one of those carwash curtains.

So, I was torn. I personally think Donyelle is extremely cool and I'd like to hang out with her personally, but she's technically the weakest. Travis is technically the strongest, but he does nothing for me. Pretty, but insubstantial. I just don't get a thrill from watching him. Benji makes me want to get out there and dance with him and I love that feeling. I love watching him. He's hands down the best entertainer, and not bad on technique. Heidi is absolutely the most improved. She went from a "oh, she's in this?" non-existent blip on the radar to Wow! I think she might be the most deserving of the rest of them.

So, I couldn't make up my mind. And I didn't vote, again.

Wow. This thread makes me look like I know a lot!

So, um, I agree.

But I'm not seriously considering going to see the tour.

Meh.

Maybe it's good for Travis though. He won't be a slave to the evil Celine Dion for a year. I still like him better.

Yay! My favorite won! That never happens! MF and I were discussing how well-spoken they all were - as opposed to Celine, who sounded like a robot and was clearly reading the cue cards. Donyelle made me a little teary and I hope she keeps dancing.

Now, do I get tickets for the tour or should I just stalk the stage door?

This was on the tv at the bar while I played pool last night.

All I can say is, some choreographer watched Thriller one too many times.
