I agree with you, Costa. Cristina was a ton more appealing than Melinda. Sorry to see her go home. She went out with grace and class however (I WILL NOT CRY!). Gotta give the girl props. Just looked at the photos at the top of the page. Melinda is the only one not showing teeth in her picture, kind of a half-smile or smirk. She just doesn't appear to have a lot of warmth.

I think Christina had more potential to make it all the way where I don't think Melinda has a chance. Cristina is a local girl, but that's not why I wanted to see her go farther. (Someone being local doesn't really mean much to me unless they are damn good.) Christina has wanted this, though, even going and taking classes in all other forms of dance so she'd be a better all around dancer. It showed.

I think this shows the difference of having Mary there as a judge versus now. Mary would never have let the ballroom girl go without a fight.

It's funny how I knew that was a Sonya choreographed opening number before they said a thing. You can really tell what she does sometimes... she's got a definite style. Debi was adorable but dang was she a tiny thing. Especially next to Cat in her heels. (BTW, wasn't Debi dancing barefoot? I don't remember her moccasin boots.)

Costa, you're right! Debi Nova was barefoot. That pic must be from rehearsal. I noticed how little she was next to Cat (who's an Amazon woman) and that she was definitely barefoot. The pants Melinda wore were reason enough to kick her off. No kidding!!! Those red shiny pants were hideous. Clown pants!!!

Not sure if someone else mentioned this already, but Joshua, the winner from a few seasons ago, is one of the pros paired with someone on Dance Your Ass Off. Jesus from SYTYCD is one of the pros again this season too.

Here's an article from May where Mary talks some about why she isn't always going to be a judge this season. It has more info than the article a few pages back. link I really want to like Mia, but I am liking her less and less. I miss Mary. Mary used to really annoy me, but I guess she grew on me.

What bothers me is that the current judges are trying to be her, sort of. Especially Nigel with "yes you did" phrasing. Costa.. well you sure aren't short!! LOL! I know, everyone is tall to me, except maybe Amy Roloff.

Costa, an Amazon woman is a great thing! They were powerful warriors. I'm 5'10" and gave up wearing heels years ago. I'm tall enough as it is, without towering over everyone else needlessly. How tall is Cat anway? I wonder if she started out as a model? She's so gorgeous (total girl crush here!).

Cat is 5'9". So I'm actually an inch taller than her, if we are both in our bare feet. I'm too small to be an Amazon. I'd actually be a lovely petite person if I was about 10" shorter! Sucks to be my size and this tall... Sea, no comment! But I will say, I'm taller than most of my girlfriends, so you're in good company!

I'm the same height as you, Costa. Got my fill of "Hey, how's the weather up there?" comments in high school. Whenever I meet another woman who's as tall as me, it's always a shock cause I'm used to looking down at the top of everyone's heads. Everytime I meet another woman my height, I always think, "Wow! She's tall!" It was tough growing up cause a lot of the boys were shorter than me. Kind of limited the field.

Until I got in to high school, I was pretty much taller than everyone in my classes (except for some teachers). Tall and thin, so I got the "turn sideways and stick out your tongue and you'll look like a zipper" or the "you're so skinny when you take a shower you have to run around under the spray to get wet". Grr...

I thought Cat had to be taller than that. It must be that most of the dancers are small. Plus, they are sometimes barefoot and Cat's always wearing very high heels.

Sorry you got harassed for your height, Costa and Babyjax. Maybe you like being tall now? High school kids can be cruel. I used to get teased about being big chested. I wasn't a big person, but I had big boobies. I am about 5'3 and short waisted, so that made them look even bigger.

I think most of the dancers are short anyways, so next to Cat in her heels, they look tiny. It's rare that any of the boys are even the same height as she is. And yeah, I'm 5'10" but 5' of me is legs. Talk about short waisted!

I didn't have such a tough time of it, just got tired of the stupid remarks (as Costa did!). Later in life I learned to appreciate my tallness and that a lot of guys liked tall, leggy women. Now it's just me. I married a guy who's 6'2" and our son is only 9 1/2 and already 5' tall. He's one of the tallest boys in his class (a couple of the girls are taller!).

My daughter, at 13, is about 5'6 so she is one of the tallest people in her class (plus she is a year behind because I kept her in a developmental first grade). I keep telling her that everyone else (well, the boys at least) will catch up with her. I'm really short so I've been pro-tall ever since she was younger and showing signgs of being tall so she likes her status of looking down at most everybody else...besides, she LOVES volleyball!

I have been 5'6" since I was 14, and would love to be a couple inches taller
