Anybody else think this is a good idea?

It's still a GREAT idea, but do competitors lose placings because of poor or less than spectacular posing ability? I thought posing was not scored. Posing is what makes the night show enjoyable, entertaining, but do the judges even care? I mean, if it's not on a scorecard then...

Great routine, but he could have held the poses a bit longer?

One of the bad things about today's top pros not putting any effort into their posing routines and basically "winging it" when they are onstage is that the amateurs emulate them. I can't tell you how many times I've seen total novices entering their first show and walking from side to side, putting their hands to their ears, frantically waving their arms in the air to get the audience to applaud. I wonder where they learned that from??

I wish the judges would start deducting points for that madness. And I'm so sick of seeing the top of guy's head as a transition to each pose.
