Ok, I skipped everything above.

Natalie and Ivan
Jive

I thought they were great.
All 3 judges hated them. Gawd. They were hard on them.

Travis
Doing a solo

It was typical balletic Travis. I always like it, but tonight I am not blown away by it.

Benji picks Donyelle.
Hip Hop and Broadway.

Broadway--Le Jazz
I loved it!!


Judges:

Nigel: Delighted to see them back again. However, Donyelle, I think Benji is beginning to upstage you. You are not finishing all the steps.

Mary: I can see what Nigel is talking about. But I like my jazz hot and it was hot, hot, hot.

3rd Judge: Didn't think Donyelle 'snapped' enough. Thought they got by on personality.

Natalie Solo

She is still using sex to sell her dance, I think. I find myself disliking the fleshiness of the image she projects. I think I notice that more than her skills--which seems to me are more gymnastic than anything else. I dislike her quick moves--enjoy Travis' long line and the effect he achieves when dancing more.

Travis and Heidi
Gawd: Waltz and ? (missed it)

Doing Waltz now.
Superb!

Heidi looks so great in that long blue dress and was smiling beautifully.

Judges:

Nigel: Heidi most improved girl. Not everyone can do a triple pirouette, Travis. Wow!

Mary: Over the top compliments for Heidi and Travis. I tore you up last week. And this week: Who are you, Travis? Footwork was incredible.

Mia: Travis, you have an intensity that people pay for when they want to see dance. Heidi definitely the most improved girl.

Ivan Solo
He popped. I thought he did great--very enjoyable to watch. Saw some new moves, I think.

It's a shame his face is so forgettable--maybe they should use makeup on him or dye his hair darker or something. His image kind of blends into the woodwork for me.

Cat looks so glamorous tonight! Always very pretty and swingy-looking. She looks a little more elegant than usual.

Donyelle and Benji
Hip Hop

Very cute number. This time I think Donyelle showed up Benji.

Judge:

Nigel: This week we're back to the aggression type of hip hop. It was fun though. Good job.

Mary: I loved it. I thought you were great. Benji, I think you have backbone, wishbone and a funnybone.

Mia: It made me laugh that you came out like a (tough guy)--can't remember the word she used. Hahahaha. And Donyelle, I think we ought to form a coalition of big bootys! (Donyelle proceeded to pet her behind! LOL!)

Heidi Solo

I forget what kind of dance this is called--Latin number. This is typical Heidi, too, but I wasn't disappointed. Enjoyed it. (I like how short the solos are; I never get bored.)

She danced to "I Like It Like That," which we've heard before. Sexy but not in the Natalie fashion. She was very fluid, had heat, and moved perfectly with the music.

Natalie and Ivan

Contemporary Piece
It's about fresh love.

It was sweet. I think they were good. But not believable as a couple.

Nigel: No chemistry. Still nothing from them. Ivan, I am so delighted you've gotten this far. With hip hop as a background, this type of dance shows your limitation. Natalie you danced very well. Typically you touch me, but not tonight. I felt there was a mask on you tonight.

Mary: Between ordinary and extraordinary--something missing. (Kind of blamed the choreographer)

Mia: Where's the magic, people? Natalie, you are an amazing dancer, but your face seems contrived. You need to be organic and natural. Ivan, I saw your limitations very, very clearly.

Panting here! One number right after another tonight, it seems. No breathing room.

Benji
Did a Jerry Lee Lewis kind of number. Rockin with flamboyance. I loved his kick move--almost looked as if he was kicking himself in the ass as he was running in place. Very funny and fit the routine.

I loved it!

Herckleperckle, I agree about Cat's look tonight. She has that same loosely-pinned hairstyle that the stars were wearing at the Oscars, and it goes very well with the dress.

I liked the beginning of Natalie and Ivan's routine. Some very cute and clever choreography. It just kind of fell apart halfway through and got dull. Meanwhile I think it's time for Benji to put the booty away. It was cute the first 5 times, but now it's getting old. It takes away from his great dancing.

I'm loving the pairing of Heidi and Travis.

Heidi and Travis
I was out of the room and am not sure what this is called.

Heidi wearing long hair piece--ponytail. Looks great in this number.

Wow! Very cool. Loved it.

Song seems to be about bananas. I think it is an African-type number. Oh, African Pop.

Nigel: Best routine of the night. Best couple. Wasn't one moment where you were out of balance or out of step. Very difficult to do.

Mary: They did an amazing job. Exactly what the chor. wanted you to do. And if America does not wake up and get up and vote for you . . .

Mia: Complimented Wade, the choreographer. Creates out of the box. Heidi, I don't think you would have been able to do this a couple of weeks ago. Honey, you were the EARTH.

Donyelle solo

Did a very nice job. I liked her moves. I'd keep her another week.

I agreed with Mary, I liked Heidi and Travis best tonight.

Everybody vote tonight!!!!

And Curlyq, you are right about some of Benji's moves. Almost a schtick at this point, huh? He is an excellent dancer but perhaps is relying on tried and true a bit too much.

They don't put any limit on these calls, do they? I've been able to get through about 20 times so far. These calls are free, right?

Free, but go against your own cell phone plan, of course.

I'm on a land line, so that's a load off my mind. Usually they limit you to 10 calls or something. I'm not even getting busy signals.

did you all notice that donyelle looked very upset after her routine and struggled to smile from that point to the end of the show? I thought maybe she hurt herself. She looked like she might have been taking it really easy at the end of nite group dancey thing.. Anyone else think she was hurt, or was she just pissed at herself for her routine? I wondered if her glum face could mess up her votes..

Oh mygosh, Donut, I just came to post the exact same thing! My first thought was that maybe she HAD hurt herself--maybe that toe acting up again? To me, that would make more sense than being upset with herself for her routine. She didn't look like the usually sunshine-y Donyelle, and yes I wonder if it could hurt her??
I did love at the end where Benji was dancing with BOTH his partners, Heidi and Donyelle, twirling them under his arms.
