I'm not in any particular rush to get rid of Legacy - I just want people to be realistic about his abilities and the [now very obvious] limits to those abilities...

Got ya. You're where I was last year this time with Evan. His deficiencies were obvious, too; but people like who they like.

To me, Legacy shows more range than many of them. Yeah, he's limited (a B-Boy, after all); but I think he deserves his spot.

Not really... they're both products of BYU Ballroom Dance. They are allowed to go without when engaging in activities where wearing them may be inappropriate or on display, especially for athletic type of situations or when going to the doctor, knowing you'll be asked to disrobe or some how be exposed. Dancing is a sport and it has it's uniforms. This is perfectly acceptable and something seen with all of the famous LDS athletes, musicians, etc. The general rule is that they go back on a soon as it would be appropriate or practical. You'll also see this at the Polynesian Cultural Center in Hawaii ... most of the kids working there are BYU Hawaii students, and they dress according to the cultural norms for the center for show.

You'll note that BYU athletic teams all wear uniforms that require this, too. If it were a "bad" thing... it wouldn't be allowed and the BYU cheerleaders would wear burkas.

There are so many ridiculous notions out there, it's fun to see how much people actually bother to believe. Remember, a lot of it is cultural or urban legend, sadly perpetuated by many members themselves.

I know the protocol. I had man friends in BYU Ballroom Dance. I never quite understood it on spiritual terms, since on my mission they told us if we did not wear our garments we were basically risking our lives. So that would be urban legend perpetuated by general authorities. I DO find it hard to believe Ashleigh and ryan are food Mormon folk. I could well be wrong, but they both have much more of a thorny edge to them than most I know or especially have seen on this show.


ETA: I think I'm going to start calling Nigel Delilah. Every time he gets a guy to cut his hair (or girl, even, in Bianca's case), the power fades.

My bad.

I wish there had been some floor moves in the Waltz, just to vex you all. :)

There ya go! Hells to the yeah. Hell, Ryan does his Tango bitch face in EVERY dance. Twitch ALWAYS did his signature move (incompetence). So why not?
