Heidi and Benji. Broadway.


Heidi: 07
Benji: 08

Churchy-revival feel says the instructor. Heidi has a great smile!

WOW! They each hold their own. No one upstaging the other. They are both soooooo good. But I swear, Benji has a rubber midsection. Unbelievable.

Nigel: Hallelujah! I believe! I believe! Best chemistry of the night.

Mary: I say Amen! Couldn't believe you drew his name and I couldn't be happier for you tonight.

Dan: Broadway could use a couple of dancers like you. (Yes, they could!)

Wow. Loved it.

Donyelle and Travis again--doing Quick Step.
Donyelle says she likens it to hopscotch.

Dance itself is sucky as hell. Find I am concentrating on costuming and hair more. Donyelle has her hair ala Billie Holiday.

Nigel: They cheated fairly well. Should be more like skating that hopscotch. Travis, a little stiff-legged.

Mary: Let me just start off by saying that I love the 2 of you to pieces. You were not skimming across the floor. Not great.

Dan: Nothing pleases me more than to disagree with you two here. Unfortunately, I can't do that tonight. You two are having a rough night tonight.

Allison and Ivan: Hip Hop.

This must be the soft hip hop number I read in Bat's spoiler. They worked with umbrellas. Very nice. Good chemistry, too.

Nigel: Lovely style. Beautifully done.

Mary: I thought this was going to be Singing in the Rain. But instead it was bringing out the sunshine. Like it very much.

Dan: This style of hip hop is harder to do than the hard and fast style. Great job.

Natalie and Ryan. (Ryan says he's been waiting to get Natalie as a partner.)

Natalie: 05
Ryan: 06

This must be contemporary--should be perfect for Ryan. Natalie does well in this style, too. Boyz to Men song. Dark blue background and pale blue and white outfits. Pretty effect. Oops, I think Natalie lost her balance a bit there. My impression: OK. Wasn't blown away by it.

Nigel: Natalie, you are such a beautiful girl. Ryan, you showed there why you are in this competition. (A little criticism for Ryan, but not much.) In general, beautiful.

Mary: I loved the way both of you moved. Ryan, beautiful extensions.

Dan: You forgot about everybody here, and I think you did a great, great job.

Heidi and Benji: Mambo.

1-888-Tempo-2 digit number to vote

Heidi: 07
Benji: 08

Oh. My God. They were incredible again. Just incredible.

Nigel: First of all, I'm so pleased we found something to do with Dmitry's old shirts. This is why we're this summer's hottest show. This is why we got picked up for season 3 even before season 2 is over. You were terrific!!!

Mary: I was a bit disappointed. And that's cuz there were only 99 turns in there, and there should have been 100! Only kidding. There are no other two dancers who could have done that number. It is the best Mambo we have ever seen.

Dan: This was the most professional number we have seen in all genres. You have left nothing to criticize.

Nigel: You have got to do that number on the tour.

Heidi & Benji finish things off in grand fashion.
I'd pay to see that again :-)

Thanks so much Herckleperckle and Fruitbat. HUGS I can't wait until I see Benji and Heidi dance. They are my favorites and hope they win.

Benji & Heidi are related right??
They are fantastic together.
She's unreal I hope she wins it.
Okay since I don't watch the show all that often forgive me for this question..So each dancer gets voted indivually?? Not as a couple??

I loved Benji. Donyelle's costume for the quickstep was not flattering at all. Ok I'm tired of ballroom. Will there be ballroom in Celine's show??

Loved the umbrella hip hop dance that Ivan and Allison did.

I am in AWE! I think I WILL pay to see this show when it comes around. Was never THAT interested in seeing AI shows when they came around because I never thought they sounded all that great as a group. THIS, this is truly a SHOW, a performance worth paying for. Benji and Heidi this week...stupendous! I also loved Wade Robinsons opening number on the results show last week. I LOVE this show!

Yes, Angel, Benji & Heidi are related. They are cousins. And, yes, all are being voted as a single, not as a couple.

I love Donyelle and Travis! Favorite couple. I think Ryan does excellent when he is solo.

I hope those three are the final three. They are my favorite.

Herckle, Heidi made more grimaces last night than I have seen the entire show! Her face was one continuous contortion.

I think dancing with Benji brings it out in her.

Mocha, I am tired of ballroom too. We have seen way too many at the expense of lyrical.

Ms. Bat, that's her smile! I thought her faced was as smooth as I'd ever seen it--without the grimacing.

LadyT, thanks for posting that link. Wow, what an incredible story about Benji in Mexico! And the part about how Allison managed to get her dance lessons . . . wow!

LOL HP! I was about to say that! Heidi's grimace face IS her smile face.
I agree with the judges. The mambo of Heidi/Benji was the best! Loved the way he turned her with his leg! Since they have danced together before, I wonder if that was something they were already doing, or did the choreographer come up with that.

Well, I thought she simply smiled last night. I admit she didn't vary the smile, so I guess it was kind of frozen, but there were no fierce wrinkles anywhere on her face. I have a feeling that Heidi is one of those high-energy people who would twitch if she weren't moving! There ain't one millimeter of fat on her either! She wears her costumes so beautifully!

The Mambo was the first time I can say I could pick up the difference in how those two (Heidi and Benji) work their bodies. I guess you know how much I admire Heidi's incredible dancing. But I admit it is filled with tension and tautness. By contrast, Benji's nimble but relaxed moves convince you that the dancing is something even you could do. He makes it all look so smooth and easy. I guess that's a big part of why he is so much fun to watch--and the better dancer.

I'd like to see Benji try that same number with Allison. Then I'd know for sure (in my mind) who should win this thing.

She did smile, HP. That's the face that some are reading as a grimace. I think it was more smile because she was more relaxed dancing with her cousin. She's danced with him before, and the dances they chose were well within her comfort zone.

i just love watching him dance...he's so fluid in his solos. you can tell he's dancing from his heart. i could watch him forever.

i think tonight he needs to wear that same outfit...except he needs to rub some baby oil all over him so i can get the full effects of his perfect body.
