coffeesnob318 | Mia is the champion, my friends

I love Mia Michaels so much right now and forever. She's always been one of my favorites of the choreographers. Her work is astounding - I have seen her dancers do things that I didn't know the human body could do. Her critiques are always honest, respectful, and fair. But last night, she became my absolute favorite.

How many times did she mention Ricky? And how awesome he is. And how distraught she is that he left. My favorite moment was when she told someone (I think it was Cedric) that he was her second favorite. She also had a nice moment with Dominic, which was sweet.

But she gets the Ricky obsession. And she never backed down. She never said anything like, "Well, that's just the way this competition goes." She just flat out said, "America was wrong." I cheered my little heart out. *glee*

I don't even completely get my Ricky obsession. I don't understand my intense, sudden attachment to him. I was nowhere near this attached to anyone last season, and I loved me some last season. I feel very defensive/protective of him. Not in a creepy way (not planning any trips to Arizona to stalk him...although I do have an open invitation to a place to stay there...); I just love to watch him dance so much. It makes me feel a little better (just a little. I am still so very, very bitter.) to know that he probably watched and heard her say all those things about him, and that that probably made last night less sad for him.
