I love Jr & Riki, but feel that Solo continues to be the brunt of catty, anti-female athlete remarks on the show. And it is obvious that Carrie "judges" her negatively on some kind of "this is what real feminity is" scale. Frankly, I understand max's anger. Frankly, I am sick of the high marks given to Rob, especially because Hope Solo is a much better dancer. No, she is not the best and I expect either JR or Riki to win it and can see this. One of them should. And I think Rob Kardashian is a nice guy and has improved, but Hope is better at technique and musicality. Rob is stiff and many of his blown steps are never pointed out by the judges, never. Solo's fluidity is quite good. But she is not part of the Hollywood celeb crowd, now is she?
It was interesting to see what Hope Solo has lived in terms of her father and being abducted by him as a kid. She sure didn't have an enchanted childhood! Throughout the competitiion and actually when I have watched her play soccer, I have always though there is deep sadness in her eyes. Now I know why.
My guess is that Hope will be out tonight and this really bugs me.
