I don't know anything about Hayes, but wasn't a fan of him on the show. Had no idea what he was talking about with those different terms and he really irritated me when he said, "Emma doesn't look 26... if that makes her feel better." What is that supposed to mean? That is hardly old. When I was a teenager, I never thought that was old. I don't know any teenagers who think people in their twenties are considered old. Thirties? Absolutely. Twenties? Hardly. Then my husband commented that he looked high or something after the dance while the judges were talking to him. I have to agree. Something about his eyes just made him look like he wasn't all there. But again, I don't know him. That might just be how he naturally looks.
Loved Bendi and Alek. The teenage fangirl in me loves Nick, as well (though I was more into NSYNC and when it came to the Backstreet Boys, Brian had my heart). I also thought that Alexa and Carlos were really cute, which looks like I'm in the minority. I'm also in the minority in that I like Paula. Love Tony but that dance was a hot mess. Kim, Chaka, and the jockey (can't remember his name) are probably all in trouble. Already know that when it comes time for personal story week (or whatever they call it where they ask the dancers to come up with the saddest story they can) is going to make me cry when Bendi's story comes up.
