was at Pearland last night, have several videos which im sure i'll have trouble uploading bc they're larger files again.
happy to see twhs jv come out w/ the highest score in a stacked contest, even w/ WGI Houston champ in the mix, but i thought Cy Woods was totally robbed, shoulda been up there w/ twhs. how obviously cleaner their show was compared to the other shows didn't seem to matter to the upstairs judges at all. always makes me angry, like why even bother performing if it doesn't matter, seriously. maybe bc the show was still incomplete in late Feb or bc the concept is lightweight/abstract? dunno. twilight zone level judging for me, like tooootally wtf. happens sometimes. no active wgi judges but a couple of wgi "retired" giants like Lee Carlson and Jackie Gilley.
twhs world was.... good.... stiiill haven't fixed the transition into the final part but it's only been a week, i wouldn't expect major changes til late season. they had a fuller more satisfying conclusion this week but a little dirty w/ the flags at the end. some uncharacteristic drops in the first part. they're trailing the other top dogs preeeetty badly right now, i think realistically this show will be 4th or even 5th at worlds but i hope im wrong. goes to show u can have a suuuuperduper talented guard from top to bottom, but if u can't design/stage/choreograph a gold medal quality show it doesn't matter. bleeds into every caption. i hope this team figures it out tho, cause we need young blood designers who get it, it's the same ppl on top every single freakin year. don't want them to have to resort to using Vanderkolff, tho he is a god tier guard designer.
