Better…but not there yet
So, they showed more actual dancers on last night’s audition episode, but I’ll be a lot happier when we get to Vegas Week. But we’re not done with auditions yet - more tonight!
As for last night - Hi Benji! Nice to see him again, though I can’t say I was all that enamored of his sister. Sure, she’s good, but…we already have Our Schwimmer, you know? I understand that somewhere in the audition process, Travis’s (runner up last year) brother auditions. I hope we get to see that.
It was great seeing Hok again last night - SO glad he is back and with proper papers this time. What an entertainer. Hightlight of the night for me. I thought the girl with the prosthetic arm was an okay dancer, but would never have guessed about the arm, so that was inspiring. And I cannot wait to see the guy with the prosthetic leg come back next year when he’s more fully healed and had time to work. It’s awe inspiring what he’s doing on legs so incredibly badly damaged. What intense and amazing spirit.
I thought Nigel was an ass, even for Nigel, with EJ and his weight. But what else is new? And I’m sure he actually thought he was being kind. He’s creepy. Mary’s cackle was grating - do we have to have her every week? In small doses she’s entertaining, but gah. Loved Wade and Shane. Loved Shane’s reaction to that pop locker guy from Houston. He was wild. Can’t quite picture him doing ballroom, but will be fun to see him try.
I liked the young “Avirl” girl, wasn’t all that hot on the cutesy blonde at the end (but we all know what Dirty Uncle Nigel likes…) was happy for the girl with mom with cancer, but please keep her off my tv screen now for awhile. That voice. That shrieking. Shudder. Wasn’t all that impressed with the Lindy Hopper duo, but thought the guy was funny while the girl was talking about her boyfriend. Loved Jesus “Chuy” - was probably my favorite to watch of the night, after Hok. Hope he goes far.
All in all, I didn’t have to fast forward through nearly as many segments, which is a good thing. Looking forward to next week when we can get past the bad performers. Tonight? Pirate Master! I wish I was more excited…
Don’t forget to enter this week’s SHaQ Attack contest. See Tuesday’s post for the details. Winner announced tomorrow!
I was thrilled Hok back this year and was able to get his papers straight! Nigel really irked me with his comments about EJ and his weight. Over all it was a good show especially for an audition episode.
I’m hoping Pirate Master will live up to the hype.
