One of the guys on our Olympic volunteer crew said he was planning to go down there and be one of the cheering audience, waving a sign reading: <em>"Diane, will you be my second wife?"</em> He totally should have followed-through with it.

And compared to some of the really bad dancers the Mickey Mouse guy wasn't <i>that</i> bad. It wasn't really dancing beyond how most of us dance. But I didn't think it quite deserved the berating he got. On the other hand once he swore at them he was pretty pissed off. Yeah.

I get impatient with all the bad dancers and crazy people they show---then you only get a glimpse of happy people who actually made it, and don't get to see their auditions. I had to laugh when the judges yelled at the guy with the Mickey Mouse ponytails to get out of the auditorium when they were the ones delaying his departure.

It was pretty clear she had mental handicap issues. I guess the judges only saw her dance. But the interviews before made it <i>really</i> clear that she wasn't exactly normal. I think the show tends to bring those kinds out. Which is OK. But the ones who are "obvious" like the downs syndrome kid they are nice to while the others they make fun of and are mean and then put on TV for everyone to ridicule. As I mentioned to my wife last night there is just something wrong with that. I confess I get no joy out of watching the bad dancers and the abuse they take. Usually I'm really eager to get past the initial try outs just because of that. I watch at this stage just because there are usually one or two just amazing dancers. (Like last week's popper or this week's hip hop guy in Dallas) To add, I thought they were way too mean to that one lady. It was pretty clear she had mental handicap issues.

Although I'm fairly sure <i>a lot</i> of those folks weren't Mormon. (The DJ for the strip club for instance? - although they should have mentioned that strip clubs in Utah require women to be clothed over all the "naughty" bits) Yeah. I winced there too.

Boy, I'd love to have seen that episode. I guess there are cringe worthy folks in every state. Great T-shirt. Boy, I’d love to have seen that episode.
