They definitely have! A few episodes ago, I was thinking "haven't we heard this song before?" but last night Brandon did the same solo he tried out with originally. I've never noticed it in other seasons.

I feel like Jeanine is the only one who is really good but not "worshiped" by the judges. I like Evan, but more as someone I'd like to be friends with - he doesn't change based on the style of dance. Kayla is a beautiful dancer but kind of boring. Brandon is powerful but seems too predictable a winner.

In general, are you tired of the judges? I like listening to Mary's critiques on ballroom technique, which I know nothing about, but otherwise I don't feel they add anything to my opinions. I usually fast-forward after the first few sentences. Lil C is just ridiculous, and Mia is getting weirder and weirder.

It's been an odd year for the judges for some reason. I totally agree that Lil C is ridiculous (what do you mean you have to see with your ears?), and I also agree that Mia is getting weirder (if that's even possible). Mary has always been annoying with the whole screaming bit/hot tamale train thing. Nigel had been the most reasonable judge in previous seasons, but he seems to want everything to revolve around him these days. From his PhD reference, to the reference of his wife's divorce lawyer, it's just odd.

I was thinking that too. Lately, the mute button has been pushed when the dancing stops.

I understand how Kayla made it to the top twenty. I understand why she was in the top ten. However, when Janette left so that Kayla could stay, I was annoyed. Now that she is staying for the finale, I am just mad! She isn't that good and she is boring. Her solos are the same almost every week! Ugh I swear if she wins I'm not watching again.

Kat seems to have one good outfit a week and one weird one. Is it her choice or has wardrobe gone insane.

Last note, I feel like there were way more amazing dances last season. Like this season there are only a couple that stand out, but last season seemed amazing. When the judges are asked to pick their favorite dances of the season, there are only five that come to mind.

Completely agree with the first paragraph.

I will admit that when Mary calms down and actually gives some good advice, it's nice to listen to and I'm genuinely interested. I do fast-forward over some of the judges comments, but not as much as I do when watching American Idol (Randy says "dawg" too much, Paula loves everyone, but I do always listen to Simon). I WANT to skip over the comments, but I can't help but listen. Lil C is ridiculous, but I always want to hear how crazy he really is. He makes NO sense.. and when people on the show, on air, actually insinuate (or flat out tell you) that you're babbling about nothing, maybe it's time to reevaluate what you're saying.

Personally, I think he's getting stranger, also. When he started flailing his arms and screaming for Kayla and Brandon this week, it was awkward.

I wonder if the judges drooling over her really has that much of an impact on how people vote each week. I tend to think that it does, which is sad, because I just don't understand what it is about her that they adore so much.

Um... did I miss something?

i think the judges comments can have a tremendous effect on the voting and i think that is not right. it breeds sort of a emperor's new clothes mentality. "oh, the judges praised that performance, they must be the best. if the public voted before the judges gave their comments, i'll bet the winners would be different.

this season seemed so predictable to me-and i never took a dance lesson in my life.

there's a link to fleshbot on there where you can see the photos, but they are super NSFW and super raunchy and you will never be able to look at ade the same way again.

basically, nudes of him (and jonathan) were on the website guys with iphones. he clearly took the pictures himself, but i doubt he released him. poor ade.

WinniBug · #**176** 08-01-2009, 11:44 AM

there weren't nudes of jonathan were there? the only pics i saw of him were just topless

no, sorry, that was badly worded on my part. he was just shirtless.

I am watching the finale, and I feel SO sorry for Evan. Enough, already! We totally get that the judges think Brandon should win, but goodness, how many times must they tell Evan he is less than what they had hoped! Talk about beating a dead horse!!

Who knows, Evan may now get the sympathy vote and win the whole thing!

bostongreek · #**179** 08-05-2009, 09:50 PM

Evan is great at what he does... but he is so out of his league right now.

He'll probably win, though.

haha, we said basically the same thing. oops!

i don't think evan will win because of sympathy though, i think he'll win because of his super rabid fanbase. and i think the judges want kayla to win more than brandon. i think they would want another female winner since the only one so far has been sabra.

personally, i want jeanine to win!
