Anothermi July 27, 2014 Share July 27, 2014 Seems we don't have a Guest Judges thread, so here it is, just in time to say goodbye to Misty Copeland. She's been a good influence on Nigel and Mary's critiques. She's back to rehearsals for American Ballet theatre. I'm wondering if TPTB got her on the show to try to win over the established dance community who haven't had a lot of respect for this show in the past (possibly a bit of snobbery on their part, but likely a lot of legitimate criticism as well). She's BALLET! and from a well established company, so nay-sayers would be trash talking her if they trash talked the show. No? I assume there must be psychological resons behind these kind of decisions. I could be wrong. Anyway, here is her DancePlug exit interview. Link to comment

OnceSane August 9, 2014 Share August 9, 2014 I'm not a fan of Tara Lipinski, so I always have to FF her critiques. 1 Link to comment
ToxicUnicorn August 9, 2014 Share August 9, 2014 She (Tara) was useless. And annoying. Nearly every guest judge is useless. And annoying. It especially pisses me off when the guest judge gushes over a clear favorite who hasn't even done so well that evening. That is not supposed to be the point. Judge, already! Then again, for many seasons, I hoped beyond hope that the rotating judge would make Nigel and Mary up their game. Misty did that this season. Mary and Nigel are ten levels above their recent past, for me. It greatly improves the show. I support bringing back Dan Karaty. I also wonder how Sonya would do as a guest judge next year. She sure seems a lot nicer than Mia ever was. Link to comment
dcalley August 15, 2014 Share August 15, 2014 "New Line Cinema Is Giving Misty Copeland The Biopic She Deserves" New Line Cinema has optioned the rights to her best-selling memoir Life in Motion: An Unlikely Ballerina. Link to comment
crowceilidh August 15, 2014 Share August 15, 2014 This week's guest judge was so immediately so dire that after her first sentence she was on ff through the whole show for me. Wow, was she bad. Link to comment
