    I'm not completely thrilled on any of the choices for Team USA. I'm still rooting for them to do well, but I really wish we had a more entertaining tapper and a different duet. The hip hop group was endearing with their triumping adversity, but America's Best Dance Crew has much better crews.

    I want Russia to win though solely because of Pasha and Anya

    Yup I'm sure it was Nigel's idea to get him on the show.

    Yeah I kind of expected to see some West Coast Swing. We need the Schwimmer clan.

    Surprise, surprise team USA wins. So fixed. I mean, it never sucks to see your own country win, but it is rather suspicious though. And I did hate team Australia because they kept dancing American dancing. It would've really hurt if a country won using our dances. But I don't know ... the fact that this show was totally rigged mixed in with the format and selected dancers makes me glad that it is all over! It was pretty great not to hear much from the judges though.

    I didn't like the episode as much without the judges' commentary. I'm going to miss my boyfriend the Russian judge

    I would've been good with USA, Ireland, India, or Russia winning so I'm happy. Basically I just didn't want Australia to win AT ALL.
