MINI-COMMISSION

• A mini commission from Nico T.L. asks us to go deep on three...shall we say remarkable?...floor routines from 2000—Elena Produnova's "Super Bitch Power Routine," Paloma Moro's "Cracked Out Spanish Hoedown Routine," and Alena Polozkova's "So Bad You Can't Look Away Routine." This is heavenly.

FEEDBACK

• We conclude with some feedback about Li Li's culpability in the Maggie Haney situation, autism, Nazis (?), and our judging episode.
