Does Cat ever just give them coloring books and tell them to take five?

That feels like it would be a good investment.

Lets see what these kids are up to in the New York auditions.

Im so proud of/worried for this tiny Colombian Kristin Chenoweth!

To quote Mary: [PIERCING SCREAM].

Ana getsone very hot train ticket the Academy.

She started dancing before she spoke English.

Dance became my second language, she says.

That is genuinely beautiful.

The More You Know.

NO ONE TELLS US ANYTHING.

They definitely danced, and Alex definitely grabbed his crotch before waving at Vanessa, which she liked.

I can tell you that much.

Theyre much happier than the Russian twins were, but theyre just as committed to their characters.

Havoc is a human jump rope at one point; Klassic is Beyonce,always.

Where are we?!)

The judges put the guys through some unnecessary suspense before sending themstraight to the Academy.

You seem very smart and very together, Cat says.

Well thanks, Chaz replies.

Im putting on a show.

So far, so good.

It is not a good sign when a contestant gets a fake movie trailer!

Ive certainly seen better at what you do, Vanessa sighs.

Thats true, Darius nods.Darius is going home.

This is the hardest Ive laughed at any segment of this show in a long time.

I flat-out cackled at the face Mary makes when his audition is at its weirdest.

Thats not to say I think Ryan is good.

I think hesrealgood at lowering expectations.

This is the last-nights-Twin-Peaks-episode of dance!

Anyway, Ryan should go to choreography.

Ryan (Im painting this on a picket sign) should go to choreography.

(Judges feel peer pressure too, kids.

)Ryan, somehow, is going to the Academy.

In two weeks, Vanessaabsolutely schools somebodyfor not dancing enough.I cannot wait.

DARIUS-ISM OF THE DAY:Forget Nigel…

Forget Mary… POPPINS.
