  I doubt I'll be able to stay with watching this all summer, and I didn't watch last year, but I really enjoyed watching the show tonight. I definitely am not surprised Ashlee went home. I didn't think as highly of Ricky as you, though.
  
  Lacey and Cameron were my #1 pick, with Sara and Jesus as close seconds. I loved the way both of these numbers seemed like they were cut from musical theater, and I really liked that aspect of them.

  Well, I didn't think Ricky did well this week. But the few little clips of him in Vegas were good, and it was because of those that I was surprised he was eliminated. Yeah, your top picks were the same as mine. Lacey and Kameron were incredible.
  
  I hope you keep up watching! I like hearing what you think about stuff.

  Thanks. I really appreciate all your cultural commentary. Reading it makes me feel hip and 15 years younger!
  
  One other comment about watching the show the other night. Charis (4) was sitting on my lap through much of it, and she said, "Why do they dance so weird?"

  Hee. Was Charis thinking specific ones danced weird, or just all of them? That's great. I pretty much thought contemporary dancing was weird and didn't like it at all until I started watching the show last year. Now I love it.

  She seemed to think all of them were "weird" in one way or another, but this comment came with the dance by Sara and Jesus.

  Well, I can see the lawyers have gotten into it. A BUNCH of the YouTube clips have now been taken down due to "Copyright claim from Dick Clark Productions, Inc.". And I was actually going to watch some of them.....

  Thanks for the heads-up! When I posted those, some of the other copies of the clips were already being taken down, so I figured it would happen sooner or later... One person's promotional materials are another person's copyright violations. ;)
  
  My post of the Top 18 has Photobucket videos instead of YouTube--a little lower-profile. You could watch those!

  Done! Thanks for getting Photobucket. So how long before the lawyers find that? Hee.

  Well, Photobucket is more of a repository of photos and now video--more with the storing, less with the social aspect. So, I mean, you can go searching for clips on Photobucket, but they aren't as prominently displayed or linked together as on YouTube--plus I named these with the intent of making them difficult to find. ;) I've had gigabytes worth of screencaps that technically violate copyright on Photobucket for years, and I've never heard anything. So here's hoping!
