I too was scratching my head with the nail salon scene, more than anything I wondered what that single mom was thinking, inviting a complete stranger into her home. But some people might want desperately to be on TV or maybe she was a fan of the show. I loved the Travis Wall parts and I felt they showed a lot of the girls dancing which is what I love to see. Seeing the learning of the jump split was great also. While I found it beyond boring to watch the girls fill out the personality test (last episode), I didn't mind hearing about the results and the personality types. I'm so wondering about the absence of Kitty; have they explained why she's MIA? If someone already mentioned it and I missed it, my apologies. I actually don't misher, but just wondering what happened there. I'm pulling for the gal who's on the 5th try (Alexandria, I think?), that's a long time to keep working at it. Still love Amanda and VK. As for vets; I'm in the minority but I am still a big Maddie fan, I think she's awesome in every way. I'd love to see more of Gina though, what an amazing dancer! Does anyone have any guesses on who will be point? They seem to like a blonde at point so maybe Amy? They've also been showing Heather more this season. I'd love to see either Maddie or Gina as point, but I doubt it will be either. Show group auditions next week! Woo-hoooo!

WOW! My very first post! Please forgive me if I do it wrong. Ha. First, thank you all for being here! My family thinks I'm bat s**t crazy for being as obsessed with this show as I am, but look, here we all are! I'm not alone! I agree on the new theme song, just not really liking it but what is more frustrating is that it's difficult to actually see the girls. It was also fun to see some of the vets on those transition-moments (Meghan was one of them I believe). Maybe it'll grow on me. I also loved seeing a few words and hearing future plans from the retiring vets! That was a win! Here's where I'm WAY in the minority; I actually like VK. I like her a lot. Is she kinda all over the place? Yup. Is she the subject of favoritism? Yup. But (sadly) that is how the world works, imo. The judges are human, they've known VK since she was a child so naturally they're going to have an affectionate response to her. I do get it though, listening to Kelli talk about the integrity of the process one minute and then acting like slipping during free style was adorable. But what I love VK's personality. At least she is original, and not giving pageant-perfect, politically correct answers when they interview her. Really pulling for Malena too - sweet personality and is one of the few that seems she can actually talk football. We'll see if the dance holds up. I also agree that it seems like the dance they taught this year was harder than previous years. Either that or, like some have said, it's just not as talented of a crop. They may be upping the game tho, the show has brought the talent level much higher. I think of some of the girls who made it back in earlier seasons and they would never make it now. One more unpopular opinion; I love Melissa R as a judge and mentor. I find her genuine and there is nothing about her that says "mean girl" as someone had suggested earlier, just my imo. I find she always tries to find the positive and the "sexy faces" comment in the first episode was a riot. I'll never forget the year Maddi was trying out and crying on the first night, Melissa came right to her and supported her - on camera but spontaneous. She really won me over that time. Can't wait for solos!!
