But even if youve got 20/20 vision, its hard to see the logic in one of tonights eliminations.
OKAY, that metaphor is done now.
What else is there to say?

Mary Murphy screams in the distance.)
The only love this routine is celebrating is Gabys self-love.
Good for her, though.
Bless Mary Murphy for continuing to offer actual tips for improvementin the Vanessa Hudgens Era.
And maybe win an Olympic gymnastics medal for uneven bars.
Our girl is up for the challenge.
(She definitely showed up in her bathrobe tonight.)
(1) He MANGLES Koines name worse than he ever did before he apologized for mangling Koines name.
(2) Uncle Nige loves the idear of finding a beautiful woman in his closet.
(3) TRIPLE NEGATIVE: You have never failed not to hey me.
Think about that one, Nigel.

Whats Connie Britton doing tonight?
Does she want to go dancing?
It was fast, but it wasnt Guns and Ships-from-Hamiltonfast, mmkay?
And thats pretty much how this routine goes: It could be bigger.
No leaps (LEEPS?)
Jenna makes a lot of big faces.
They kiss at the end; it may or may not be scripted.
But when even Vanessa is disappointed by the lack of leaps, you know theres room for growth.
Mary puts them on the Hot Tamale Train anyway because shes lonely on there and also, Tina Turner.
Only onSo You Think it’s possible for you to Dance.
Thematically, the human tendency to strive for moreis a great foundation for a routine.
Props-wise, a box-shaped human-sized PVC hamster wheel is a great addition to a routine.
And could any choreographer be a better fit for Kaylee and Cyrus than Phillip is?
And (2) do they both have wheels in their knees?
Nigel is so pumped he says UNIQUE three times in one sentence.
In other news: Kaylee boxes with her dad.
Kaylees dad is adorable.
Taylor and All-StarRobertChoreographers: Keone and Mari Madrid, Hip-HopNumb & Getting Colder by Flume feat.
Instead, we got this slick, icy-cool face-off.
Also like Vanessa, Id point to Taylors confidence as a huge part of her appeal here.
She isnt trying to show us that shes feeling something; shes just feeling it.
She has a pink sleeve up her other sleeve.
The boy is in awe of Allison.
My only note before I got too caught up to take more notes was LEA.THER.
From the very beginning I said wow,' says Vanessa Hudgens.
This is the most technical her critique gets, but it isnt wrong.
I also said wow when Logan hopped up from his back without even using his legs.
(Well…escape elimination.)
In retrospect, not being 100 percent supportive of Logan at all times feels wrong.
Someones going to need an extra jazz handful of Vanessas healing vibes.
Lex is a master at almost everything (that solo!
), but lifts are his Riverdance.
He doesnt have the upper body strength for lifts, much less six lifts.
But Koine is so good at playing to the audience Nigel calls her the best performer this season.
Are we witnessing the dawn of Koine finally getting the respect and love she deserves?
He trusts Taylor and Logan with a very personal routine: a relationship he was in for seven years.
Theres no sense of an ending in this routine, but knowing that its coming makes the joy bittersweet.
But until then…confetti!
Logan is sharper than Taylor.
I WANT GLITTER ALL OVER MY BODY!
I hope she screams that every weekend.
(Taxi drivers, take note.)
Hes already done one of those.
Its not the driving.
See you all…and MIA MICHAELS (!!!!!
)…at the finals.
