2019 Week 9 - Girl Groups and Boy Bands

Not too many notes from me this week. The dancing is getting good now so I was just in the mood to sit back and watch instead of spending time noting.

Len was more cranky than usual tonight, but I loved it. So funny when he told Carrie Ann, who had repeated the same idea four times, "yeah, we got it".

Joey Fatone was so fun when he came on the show -- loved his Star Wars paso doble that he choreographed himself -- so it was good seeing him again. His season -- season 4 -- was the first one I watched, actually. Hmm, wonder if it's possible to somehow see the earlier seasons...

The dances seemed shorter tonight, probably because they're doing two. Too bad as I had really started to enjoy the longer performances. These just seemed over before they started.

One thing that must be challenging in learning two is that one of them will not be fresh. The one you learned early in the week you probably tend to forget. I think we saw that with a couple of the dancers, who danced noticeably better in one dance than the other.

Some very nice special effects tonight. I liked that high tech lighting that looked like something from Tron, for example. After no glitches last week, again there was a weird long moment when they came back from commercial with sound, but no picture.

It looks like this show will come down to James and Ally, and I'm guessing James has more support. He's better known and there are more female voters than male, so he has the edge there also.

And, to quote a Republican, "our long national nightmare is over", thankfully. To those who voted for Spicer because they genuinely liked him, fine, I respect you. But those who voted just because they somehow imagined that they were somehow poking the liberal world in the eye, you were wrong. All you did was mess up a show that people use to distract themselves enough that they can get through the week. So that was rather caddish of you. Hope you're proud of yourselves.

Only two more weeks of this and then nothing until next fall at the earliest? Maybe really should see if I can find seasons 1-3 somewhere.

Cher next week? Sounds good!

But those are just my thoughts. What did you notice and think about it all?
