A Bollywood Primer

I went to bed halfway through the show, thoroughly bored somehow with the presenation of the show. The dancing was fine but the judging segments seemed designed to subliminally say "Change the channel...you really would rather be watching static...change the channel...maybe that Bones marathon is still going on...") Plus the camera work stank, it is a dance competition, I don't want close-up of faces; when it is a duo I want to generally be able to see both dancers.

The first Indian dance (the duo Bollywood number) was pretty but even I could tell they weren't great (they're synchronization seemed way off) and the scores were appropriately low. The second solo number was much better.

What sucks is I fell asleep during the commercial break before the last Chinese number which is the one I was waiting for.
