I was 5'9" at age 12. Really tall and REALLY skinny! And I did gymnastics in high school. I hope all videos of me performing have been erased. All you saw were legs and arms flying! So NOT graceful! Although I rocked the trampoline and vault! TOTALLY rocked the vault!

I was 5'10" (current height) in the 8th grade, age 13. It was not a lot of fun. Took me a long time to grow into it. Always wished I was shorter. Never was athletic. Too tall to be graceful at anything. And I was terrified of the vault. Just knew I was going to catch my foot and land on my head!

For some darned reason, I've always been really flexible. Like, wrap my ankles around my head flexible. (Even now, at my advanced age.) So the vault was easy cause my legs were so long, I could almost walk over it!

Now the uneven bars were another story. Legs would get wrapped around one bar and my arms around another, and my coach used to die laughing at me! Never could figure out how I ended up in some of my positions!!!

I'm still not sure I've grown into it. I think I've accepted it. I'm still not graceful, though!

Well.. hold onto your height if you can.. I was 5'2", then 5'1" and then last year the nurse measured me at 4'8".. LOL.. no, that wasn't accurate... the next time I asked another nurse to check again and they said 5'. Recently when I rejoined Curves, they have a cool measuring device and said I was over 5' but under 5'1". so maybe 5' half inch.. hopefully I will not shrink more.

My sister is 6' tall. For years she used to say 5'12.

Cat is such a great host! I love how she never minds hugging anyone no matter how sweaty they are. She treats each contestant as if they are her favorite.

LMAO!! I love it... 5'12"!!!

FWIW, I'm liking Cat's outfits much better this season. I don't know if she's taken any advice from anyone, but she's looking really pretty.

This is also my favorite thing about Cat. I have never seen another host genuinely hug or embrace the contestants as Cat does.

Remember a couple of years ago when she took Twitch's grill and put it in her mouth? Ewwww!!! That was going a little bit far for me, but yeah, she's not afraid of that stuff at all.

No comments tonight? Something about Alex annoys me, but he rocked that hip-hop tonight. He matched Twitch step for step, and I love me some Twitch!

Alex can do no Wong imo. I voted for Ashley but her solo was nono for me.

Prisonerno6 what about Alex annoys you? Just curious

Denecee, agree with you, although in reverse:
Hands down, Tom Bergeron is my all-time favorite host, followed closely in second position by Cat. But I agree, they both are GREAT, just head and shoulders above the rest.

I have had trouble sticking with the full 2 hours, because of the lengthy judges' comments, that drag it out for me--and I wander away. I WAS in luck, however, to see that final number with Alex and Twitch. WOW! Choreography and both dancers were flawless. My favorite moment was at the very end when I thought it was over. Alex had just finished with a somewhat balletic movement--and after a pause, Twitch did the same thing! They just matched each other step for step. Wonderful, and well deserving of the standing ovation!

I dont care for Melissa but I thought the judges were way out of line for telling her they should have let her go last week. That may get her more votes.

Billy bores me, Robert goes down on my list each week. I say those 2 and Melissa are bottom and Mel goes

From up thread, you're welcome

Watching this episode, for some reason I thought about our loss of seeing Anthony on this show, he would have been amazing in so many of the routines. I hope he is able to try again, I still don't understand why they didn't choose him.

Cat is fantastic! Someone else mentioned somewhere way up thread, but I also hope she wins the Emmy this year, she deserves it.

I really like Alex, I didn't, though, think his solo was as strong as some of the others, but he is such a brilliant dancer and performer, and he rocked the hip-hop routine, so he was my choice. For a second I thought Robert was Mark, wow, he really did so well, I hope he stays too. Though I liked so many of the routines, I thought Sonya's was amazing, she's outdone herself this season.

I think Melinda will be in the bottom, maybe even eliminated, but I didn't think the judges should have said they made a mistake, if it was a mistake, it was theirs, nor hers, why say it, what did they hope to accomplish; they just made themselves look bad. But, other than that, I think I agreed with most of what the judges said, and I'm really glad they are, for the most part, focusing on constructive criticism, it helps the dancers improve and helps me to understand what they are looking for in the performance.

Overall we weren't impressed by the performances last night. Of course, one exception to that was Alex and Twitch....my wife and I almost stood up and applauded at home! Not only the best of the evening but one of the best in that genre we've seen over the years. We actually watched it twice more off of our DVR! Guess our second favorite was Ashley and Ade but it fell off pretty quickly after that. Agree that the comments about Melinda, while probably true, shouldn't have been made. She's probably, or at least ought to be, next to go.

I DID stand up and applaud at home. Alex and Twitch last night were one of my favorite SYTYCD moments EVER.

I loved that. Have watched it again about half a dozen times this morning...

That Alex/Twitch hip hop routine was off the charts. NappyTabs really brought it, and the dancers fully executed it. Loved the ending, too.

My other faves last night were Adechike (wow, who knew the dude has swagger?), Ashley (who really did let herself go in that dance), and Jose (I'm sorry, I just love the guy, he dances with so much joy). I liked Lauren, and loved how she danced thru the wardrobe malfunction. And I really liked Robert in the Sonya routine... he did kind of remind me of Mark. Dark and twisting and all. I like, too, that he's tall. I like the lines his longer legs make.

I'm bored with Billy and Kent. And while I thought it was rude of the judges to make the comments they did, I sort of understood why. They were apologizing to Christina but doing a poor job of it. Melinda had some nice moments but for the most part, that salsa sucked. Mia's right... it's her legs.

I too thought Alex and Twitch's dance was one of the best moments ever on SYTYCD. It was outstanding. Like Tabatha said, it was so wrong, it was right. Alex was just amazing. I never would have thought he could have done hip hop like that. What a great job Tabatha and Napoleon did with that number. I watched it 3 more times as well on the DVR.

Kent has to get rid of those faces he makes while dancing. It really takes away from what he is doing. I hope he takes the judges comments to heart.

But wow, Alex and Twitch will go into the history books of SYTYCD.
