So if J's mom had him at 16. They means Pope is supposed to be 34? The actor is older than that and he looks it. I figured Graig and Deran were late 20's/ 30's and Baz and Pope were late 30's/early 40's So did Lucy have Baz shot or are we supposed to think Jay did it? If Baz can't trust Smurf, why did he believe her when she insinuated that Pope killed Katherine? And why is it so easy to break into houses in shows and movies? Nobody has an alarm?

It's annoying after a a supposed emotional dance is over, the dancers (especially the All Stars) have this serious look on their face during the critiques. So fake. Comfort did it last week and this week Courtney. How many people vote on this show these days? I'm assuming a small amount. I assume the ratings are abismal at this point.

Doesn't Darcy look older than 42? Maybe it's because I'm 42 and I feel me and my friend who are my age or older look younger than her. Maybe it's the Botox but I feel she seems closer to 50. Cortney just isn't all that bright. I've know people like that (and some of them have Masters and Doctorates).

I am not sure about the one in Cuba, as she was a friend of a friend and they don't keep in touch. I just remember she said they were engaged. She went to visit him once. The Egypt man didn't work out. According to her, he was supposed to move here but all she said was they were working on papers for him to get here and that was her story for over a year. She then met someone else. A local guy (who was also Muslim) but nobody has ever met him.

I watched both episodes today. Very addicting. I'm always cynical and wonder how real all this is, but I have known 2 women who have actually done this. Both older women, one finding a much younger man in Cuba, and one in Egypt and they both traveled to meet these men they originally met online. I just wonder how these people find all of this to be normal? I'd be embarrassed by it (not that I would actually do it), but these people (assuming this is all real) don't feel they come of as maybe a little bit desperate at all?

And I read she is only 43? Her face definitely looks older. That Laurianne Gibson is acting. It's so over the top.

How many people actually vote for this show nowadays though? The bottom 3 could be a difference of a couple votes. I doubt any of them have huge fanbases. I could be wrong though. I still wonder when they say the dancers are dancing "out of their style" if they really are trained in other styles but the sorry arc isn't doesn't want us to know that.

They mention how many great dancers they have this season (which I know they have to say). But I don't feel like anyone stands out like in past years. At least not yet. Am I the only one that thought the step dance was bad? A few people last week mentioned that Kaylee was a chunky. I'm really confused what is considered chunky then because she looks all muscle to me. It's so obvious but Nigel comments who is going to be voted off.

Do you really believe Gianna was upset? Or is that all part of the script. How can anyone believe the competitions are real when Kendall is 3rd, Brinn 2nd, and Kalani 1st....what about all the other supposed competitors? None of them squeezed in to knock one of them out of the top 3 places?

Why is Vanessa on this? She brings absolutely nothing. They tell Cyrus's partner to be more light on her feet yet they loved Melanie who was so clunky. As soon as I heard it was a Travis Wall dance I knew before the dance even began that there would be a standing ovation and a complete fawning over Travis and the dancers as if it was the most "brilliant" dance in all 12 years. (Robert is so cute though). I knew none of the dancers would pick same sex partners.

The Keepers I couldn't even finish. Some of the stories seems so far fetched that I felt they were fabricated. Especially the woman who said she was taken to the body. I did think this show was intriguing. Several people have commented that Jessica Biel isn't a good actress. I thought she was believable in this so far.

I have a feeling this will go the religion route. Crosses were on the walls in the flash back and since everything is so political nowadays....it's going to have something to do with a priest abusing her or her family. I hope I'm wrong....I'm not religious by any means but I don't like how the media portrays it as such a horrible thing. If it goes the long the lines of a her family being part of a religious cult, that could be interesting.... I just don't want it to be about the Catholic Church abusing her....would be too politically transparent.

First I heard of Abby being diabetic. I know being overweight and type 2 go hand and hand but that isn't always the case.

I feel a lot of shows also dip in ratings because of it isn't fresh anymore. How many female dancers in small dance shorts doing developpe's can we watch? Same with singing competitions. After a while all divas and rockers etc....start to sound the same. There just aren't as many stand outs either.

A lot of the dancers who make the top 20 or 10 or etc....are already known by the choreographers and that is why I never thought the actual additions for this or Idol were legit. Most I think are hand picked ahead of time.

Yes I guess it's all who you know. I love dance and so does my family but most people I know don't nor do they know how to judge who is talented (singing, dancing, or acting). Drives me nuts when someone would sing off key and they couldn't hear it. I wish they showed more of Allison dancing. While fake as can be personality wise, I still think she is one of the best dancers out there. (Although I didn't love her ballroom from what I watched on DWTS). Why do much focus on Jenna? Some above mentioned her owning her sexuality but I look it at more as it coming off as desperation. If you are confident at how good you are, you don't have to make everything sexual. That being said, maybe she is coached to dance that way. Do you think any of the All Stars are going to pick a partner of the same sex?

Good point but does the show at this point boost their celebrity? I mean I guess it wouldn't still be on if the ratings weren't there but I personally don't know anyone who watches it and many people I know never even heard of the show. Which I guess is hard to believe since it's been on for 12 years.

I ended up forwarding towards the end. It is so fake and edit it's not even worth watching. The All Stars banter, facial expressions, and discussions are so fake they are cringeworthy. I'm almost embarrassed for them. If these All Stars are so great (and most of them are), they should be out doing gigs and not on this crap fest. It's not like any of them are old and can't get professional dancing jobs anymore.

I had an 18 year old dancer who was trying to make if in LA once tell me that it's embarrassing to have SYTYCD on your resume. Years ago it was great but now in the last couple years. Not sure if that is true or she was just bitter she didn't get on the show but I if that is why they changed to format? To make it more relevant?

Allisons tears were so fake, and Jenna taking her dancer was so staged.

This show has become so staged. I'm surprised so many of you believe the All Stars actually pick who they want on their team or the dancers pick who's team they want to be on. All scripted. You can't be upset with Jenna for picking KiKi when it's the producers that instructed it. I love Allison as a dancer but she is so fake on this.

So the cell was left there for her to call Smurf? On a side note, how is Craig a product of Smurf and that guy? I would think maybe Deran would be more believable. Not that anyone of them are less or more attractive since it's all a matter of opinion but just saying the physical features are different. I wish more people watched this show. I only know one other person who has heard of it.

Maybe I missed something but Smurf said the street where Nikki was dumped is where they buried Javi's father, but wasn't the funeral her and J went to for Javi's father?

You all call Craig a loser but aren't they all kind of losers considering they are criminals? That being said....it's a great show and I wish more people knew about it.

I thought the movie was not that great. The moment it turned for the worse is when he just happened to find a box with pics of her with all the black men? Just easily finding a box in a closet full of evidence is what happens in a Lifetime movie.
