MVG (MOST VALUABLE GEM): The boy is…Jamie Lee Curtis’?!
“Brandy got a standing O from Monica…I guess their heated ‘The Boy Is Mine’ rivalry of years ago is over. They were frenemies for years!” –CoolWhipLite, endorsed by Lorie, Riley, clandrith, bamagirl, neetsie2000, jury’s out, dj, gigi, Manda

“The pictures of Kyle as a kid (or as an even younger kid, I should say). Gems, all of them, but – the one where he’s in white, he’s doing the little ‘come on!’ move with his hand, just like he did coming down the stairs during his samba solo!” –JH

“Lacey was dazedly trying to sing along with the theme song.” –melissa, endorsed by Potato Bug, LAG Award Winner
“Not all that hidden, but what was up with Mark and Derek loosening up like they were about to compete in sprints? What happened to cheesy swaying and bouncing to the music while waving shamelessly at the camera?” –Riley
