Thank you SO MUCH! I'll have to check it out when I get home later today. RCN was down for all of PA this morning (until about five minutes ago) when I had time to be online. I have to leave soon to go to NJ, where we're taking care of a friend's house while he and his family are away.

I'm looking forward to watching all of these dances. Who'd have ever thought that would happen to me, the person who couldn't dance to save her own life? :-)

Happy July 4, Zaras!

I stopped for the night at Jessie and Pasha doing the cha cha. I also watched Pasha dancing with a substitute dancer because of Jessie being in the hospital. Both times, I couldn't keep eyes off of him. That's unusual for me. Usually, I pay more attention to the female dancer. He has a very strong stage presence. (I also watched him talking about his family, which was very bittersweet.)

The other standout for me so far was Sweet Dreams. When Neil lifted himself over the table, it was pretty amazing. I felt like I was watching a gymnast.

Hope you don't mind a bunch of individual comments. It's just easier for me to watch blocks of video at a time and comment right away. Please don't feel like you have to reply to any of this.

I think I may have developed a little crush on Mark. He and Chelsie are so good together, especially in Bleeding Love and doing the Argentine tango. I wouldn't mind seeing Mark show up again sometime.

I think the tango may be my favorite dance. I just saw a couple doing it on an episode of White Collar, and I'll never forget it in True Lies.

I did skip ahead to watch Li'l C and Russell. It was so nice to see Li'l C performing!

I'm hoping to get Mark back as an All Star this year, but I don't know if they're going to pick new All Stars or how his schedule is with Lady Gaga. He really immersed himself in whatever character he was given for a routine. I was very upset when he didn't make it to the finale but Twitch did (and I like Twitch, but he did not adapt to all the other styles as well as Mark did, in my opinion - and I know Mark struggled with at least one).

They haven't had krump on in quite a few seasons but it was fun to see him try to choreograph it for the dancers. The routine he did with Russell was "buck".

I can tell you in two words what the biggest highlight is for me: Jakob Karr. When he extends his legs, it's like they go on for miles. It would not be a hardship watching any of his performances. :-)

Jakob was like Mark for me in that I barely knew who he was when the season began, but he became my favorite by the end. I like Russell, but I wanted Jakob to win.

I would have liked to have seen Jakob back as an All Star, but I'm looking forward to seeing Brandon from S5.

If I had thought of it sooner, I would have asked if you have any preferences for new couples and the All Star pairings tonight. I'm curious to see what the new match-ups will be.
