I couldn't get past the word "terpsichoreans". But seriously, don't you think he NEEDED to butch it up? I know nothing about the dance world but my past (and quite tragic) history with theater always impressed on being versatile and in the middle. So butching it up for Prince, I mean Miguel, probably just means getting him to be dynamic in a more neutral way. Ironic, huh? And if they gayness is the drama unfolding, then, my first thought isn't that people are having identity crises, but more that everyone else has some less than exciting back stories. How many times can someone "dance for their mama" and keep that interesting? Having said that, the show is pretty flawed and I figure Bravo should have learned how to package these better before getting them out there. Perhaps demand for quantity is higher than quality right now as we need (no, really) more of their sorta kinda unique reality television. Besides, I'm just really missing me some more Project Runway and am looking for a suitable replacement. Hello Desperate Housewives of New York City! Wow.
