Okay it's like some sort of 50's type dance. It's pretty cute, but not up to the Donyelle/Benji standards for me. Nigel called Donyelle a bundle of dynamite, called her brilliant. The middle judges liked Donyelle, not really Dmitry, Last judge just said it was okay.

The Lindy Hop is a form of swing dancing that was most popular during the whole WWII USO thing... It's bouncy and fun and relaxed! (Not my favorite dance LOL)

Okay, Benji paired with Natalie dancing a Jazz routine. I may not know alot about dance, but I know what I like. I didn't really care for that. Nigel called it great, joyful. All the judges liked it. Last judge didn't want the music to stop.

Heidi's solo - typical Heidi routine, lots of hip action and feet. Nigel liked it, middle judges said it exuded spunk, last judge called it a smart solo.

Jazz was my discipline... I liked it. It was joyful, but I kept thinking, "Wow, I actually like Benji more than I like Natalie" and got distracted. It was good... but I was a bad audience! LOL

You know how you know you know nothing about ballroom??? I thought that was good until the judges weighed in! LOL But I did see their points.

Martha and Ivan's second dance is a smooth waltz. There is really no chemistry between them it seems. Very pretty dance, but something missing for me. None of the judges really liked it. Unfortunately, it looks like Martha will be going home tomorrow ...

Is it me or this format WAY confusing... do the pairs, do the solos, then at the end recap them both so we can put them together! This is really scattered!

yeah, it's very scattered. I'd rather them do all the pairs, then the solos at the end, or vice versa.

I really hate how the judges just gush all over Allison. Yes, she's good, but I don't see her as so much more all that than the other girls. And I think tonight she threw her partner under the bus.

I like her. I think she is really good, and I don't think she threw Ryan under the bus as much as... next to Allison, Ryan looks a bit like a potted plant! I used to like Ryan, but he's just not that versatile and hasn't really grown that much. Meanwhile Ivan REALLY has grown throughout the competition.

Benji had a very good solo performance. Nigel had me cracking up praising him for no gimmicks, only dancing.

Donyelle and Dmitry picked the Samba. Samba to the Black Eyed Peas, lol ... alrighty then I liked it. I wish Dmitry would wear a buttoned shirt, lol. But it was cute and fun. Oh dang, even Nigel said something about Dmitry's shirt, lol.

You know... I equate Dmitry and Ryan in the sense that they are both excellent dancers "in their fields", but neither has really GROWN... you take Dmitry out of ballroom and he just can't morph into another discipline... Wow.. I guess I know who my top 3 guys are! LOL

Heidi and Travis picked contemporary for their second dance. Sigh ... I really don't understand this stuff. Heidi is having a hard time in rehearsals, saying her body doesn't move like that.
