I like the Chinese judge too. To the point by just giving his score.

Those watching at our house thought that the Chinese judge was the best part of the show. We kept waiting to hear his "bah". We always cheered after his score.

The Chinese judge was fun, I also cracked up at some of the Russian judges comments, especially the second night.

Yeah, that's it... he says the score in Chinese and then in English only. He says Ba, then 9. I keep waiting for a "Bah humbug" from him.

Except isn't "Ba" for the number 8? He seems to prefer 8's over any other number!

yea, I believe bah is for score 8....chee or cheese is 7 or 9. I am only watching this show to see the Chinese judge. This show isn't dancing, it looks like Americas Got Talent, without many Americans.

It probably is.. like I said I haven't been watching it too closely. However, I do remember Ba when he says it...whether it's 7, 8 or 9, I just don't know.

Yeah, me too. Did you hear what the coach was saying about their shows? They dance, do poetry and other things. I bet they put on an awesome show. Hopefully this will give them the exposure they need to take their show on the road. And that really did suck that the Australian soloist was cut. It really is very hard to judge this thing. How do you score a cultural dance vs. a contemporary and/or ballet dance?

That was such a clever routine by the Groovaloos, I loved the robotic part with the BGirl. It will be interesting to see the dance-off with the Chinese group next week. I was surprised that the Irish judge thought their first performance was better than this one, I disagree on that. I do love the Indian dancer, she has had beautiful costumes and the rapid but graceful movements are mesmerizing to watch. Oh to be able to move like that!

So far, I'm not feeling this show. Just got thru watching the South African group dance. While I understand the meaning of the tribal dance, how can you compare that to the technical aspects required in ballet? Just seems so random to me, like comparing apples and oranges.

I have a feeling this show is going to need some major revamping or it is not going to last more than one season. There is too wide a range of dances from too many cultures and the ability to judge the expertize of these dances is just not there. As someowe else said how do you judge the difference in classically trained ballet and a tribal dance?

LOL Allie. I said that, right above your post! I'm also not liking the disparity in comments. The Chinese have rarely had anyone speak. I don't think the Chinese judge even speaks English. He's really good at saying "eight" though. I'm also not liking the SA judge, who thinks he is too good for everyone else.

Costa, I agree with you about the South African judge. I do like the humor of the Russian judge. I wonder if his lines are scripted or if he makes them up himself?

I think this entire thing is scripted. And I noticed last night that the "teams" can bring in new people to compete. So it's not the same duo or singles for each country competing each time. It's like a moving target... oh wait, there ARE no rules!

I am really having a hard time continuing to watch this. I try and try, but I was so looking forward to the dance off between USA and China. What a waste of 3 minutes. Why did they have to have it like an old news reel -- it didn't flow -- it was bad --.

Yeah, that was one of my biggest beefs from last night. I was so looking forward to the showdown and then that ...
