 OK, I'm sorry but I really thought her skating outfit looked over-exposed and vulgar last night. I can't believe she won the night.

I guess I'm very conservative, but I thought Emmet's dress was, although much more traditional, more functional.

I hope Sasha gets taped into Zulema's design before she goes on the ice. I know it has flesh mesh in the middle but you can see through it and one wrong move and... oops!
