Nigel liked them both. Nigel said Allison gave one of the best performances he'd seen on this program. Mary gave them accolades, too. It was so fun to see Ivan's reaction to her excitement. (Ivan asked for a Mary scream and Mary screamed.) Mary called her a hot tamale. On the button. The gal team really liked them, except the last gal said Ivan should have looked like he wanted to eat her up. Ha.

Benji and Donyelle--pop jazz. Instructor describes Benji as a little goofy. Supposed to be acting out a story of a DJ who shows little emotion and a diva who draws him under her spell. I like Donyelle's outfit. Cute idea, but not one of the most persuasive with an audience. I think. Crowd loves them.

Nigel: We never know how a partnership is going to work out when we put two together. You are a true partnership. Mary: Not crazy about the look, but you can't control that. Gotta talk about the dancing and the dancing was incredible. You two are a wonderful partnership. Two gals: 2nd gal calls Donyelle a transformer. Any dance they throw at you, you transform it. You guys are great.

This is my first time watching...and holy crap. These people are freakin' amazing!! I don't even understand how they learn this much in a week and be that good. The celebrities on that other dance show should feel pretty foolish seeing what these people accomplish!

I love Donyelle and Benji! I don't care how goofy he is, he always pulls off the dance no matter what they throw at him.

I think I have trouble with dancing that has the partners doing separate things. They did come together for lots, but . . . well, that's my issue. It's why I couldn't enjoy those contemporary dances that had the two performers moving in different directions.

Natalie and Musa get the Quick Step. Oh yuk. Another non-pleaser with a young crowd, I'm sure.

I really didn't think Ivan was all that great compared to Allison. I agree with the last girl. Ivan's never been one of my favs, although I must admit, I missed last week so I didn't see what he did.

I wish Natalie were wearing a bit shorter dress. It's hiding her feet too much.

Well . . . I don't know enough about the dance. But I liked it less than two previous couples. Nigel complimented Musa because he knows how hard Musa worked. He thought the footwork needed work but that Musa had come so far to be able to carry it off. Mary: Musa, you do have a lot of heart. Was it terrific? No. But you made it through with style. Entrance and ending was great. In between, not so great. She says he never gave up. Believes if he had had more time, would have done a lot better. Couldn't get in touch with Natalie's true ability in the performance cuz of Musa. 2 gals: Great performances--from a theatrical pt of view, I think she meant. Need to work on the feet. All were very kind to them. Musa definitely in the hot seat, though, I think, unless somebody else screws up.

Jessica and James. Jessica reminds me of Sarah Jessica Parker a bit. Contemporary Routine. Hmmm. Let's see if I can get into this one. I like the music choice. That helps.

Martha is just plain gorgeous. She emotes better than Travis. Both move great.

Nigel: Think they need to get back to their connection. Martha had a smooth, honey style. Travis had a hard-hitting style. Didn't mesh. Gonna have to get down to it next week. In saying that, you are both great dancers. Mary: I agree. I don't think anyone can say you are not great dancers. But you came in about 3rd base tonight, compared to other dancers tonight. 2 gals: The smooth hip hop is what this dance was about. Martha had it. Travis, you needed to come closer to what the choreographer wanted.

Thanks, Herckleperckle and Mocha. Your analysis makes the show so much more interesting when I finally get to watch out here in CA. It helps me know what to look for in the performances. HUGS & KISSES

I just have to comment that I thought Travis and Martha did a great job. I couldn't take my eyes off Travis...I thought he was terrific! Of course, the judges disagree with me!
