Worst Nigel: Aleksandra and Dmitri. (Aleksandra in trouble) Mary: Musa and Natalie. (Musa in trouble) 2 gals: Aleksandra and Dmitri. (I'm sure they meant Aleksandra, too.) I think Musa and Aleksandra will be out, for sure.

Martha has a killer body, I didn't see an ounce of flab anywhere! She worked her outfit tonight. Bye bye Aleksandra and Ben.

Alison and Ivan were my favorite, followed by the African dance, with Donyelle and Benji third.

Longbeachbbfan Spy, as feminine as Martha is, you could see the incredible strength in her, too, couldn't you? I think the judges were right, though, Lori. The two styles did not match. I don't know, though, if the choreographer cautioned Travis about that. Watching, I like Benji a lot, too. That goofy remark was meant more in fun than anything, I think. He's an incredible dancer.

LOL I didn't think Martha and Travis "matched" either and for once, I thought it was Martha who wasn't doing "as much" as Travis and then they commented on it supposed to being "smooth" so that put Travis on the hotseat. I guess I don't "get" some of this dance stuff... well, not guess.. I just don't. LOL Martha is amazing to look at though. WOW

Mods--these two people should be greyed out in the pix at the top of this page: Jason and Joy. (They were eliminated last week.) Phone Number to Vote 1-888-TEMPO-then the 2 digits of the couple 1-888-83676-the 2 digits I typically cast a vote for every dance partnership except the worst (in my estimation). Then, I call and register an extra vote for each of my favorites. Voting time! The couples were: 01: Ashlee and Ben - I missed these two except in little spot at end of show. Looked okay--but I forget what style it was. 02: Heidi and Ryan - African Rumba (my #2) 03: Aleksandra and Dmitri - Waltz 04: Alison and Ivan - Argentine Tango (my #1) 05: Donyelle and Benji - Pop Jazz (my #3) 06: Natalie and Musa: - Quick Step (worst) 07: Jessica and James - Contemporary Routine (my #5) 08: Martha and Travis - Hip Hop (my #4)

For Travis and Martha, when they came out I thought they were dressed so differently it just threw it off for me from the start. I actually called my dh in to see Martha she has such an outstanding physique on her.

Favorite female dancers: Donyelle, Heidi, Allison. Favorite male dancers: Benji, Travis Favorite couples: Donyelle and Benji (no surprise there!), and Natalie and Musa (the whole = more than the parts!). Where is Dan Karraty (the judge and choreographer)? I miss him and his on target comments. Did I hear Brian Friedman say tonight that he wished he WASN'T working with the couple he was given (Jamyz and Jessica)? I swear he said something negative about Jamyz's arms and hands, of all things! That didn't seem cool, not when your in position of choreographer, not judge. Does anyone know the exact words he said????

Martha/Travis and Alek received criticism that was better directed at the choreographer. They did not catch Alek's hyper extended arms which drew the most negative comments of the night. Seems a simple thing to correct. Waltzing to Kenny Rogers in a dress the color of Gatorade? This dance failed on all levels. Martha and Travis were victims of lousy choregraphy and costuming as well. Too bad. Musa has fans, so he may escape the bottom 3. I bet his popularity will force the judges to eliminate a better dancer. I expect a stir. Beth, you are close. He hoped another pair would have drawn his dance. Nigel did his best to compensate for that remark. I trust he will be scolded for that gaff. Jaymz and Jessica do not excite voting so I expect to see them in the bottom 3, along with Alek/ Dimitri and ???. I don't care for Heidi and Ryan though their dance was pretty cool. Heidi's face is tense and her smile forced and her movements snappish and sharp. She is very tightly wound and that doesnt work for me. There is zero chemistry between the two.

I thought Ivan was better than Benji last night. I like all the dancers this year, they really have a great group

Fruitbat, I always get the feeling that Heidi would rather not be dancing with Ryan. She seems uncomfortable with him...Or maybe it's just uncomfortable, period. I would like to see Dimitri and Alison dance together. They could have burned up the floor with that Argentine Tango. Ivan was carefully hidden with the choreography. If he gets the quick step, I think he's gone.

I just want Ben to go home. And I do not like the facial expression of the one girl, forget her name, I "think" it's Heidi. I loved the Waltz couple, and unlike Fruit, I loved the dress and my least favorite color is yellow! The last couple was awesome too. I have watched them previous weeks and I think they have great chemistry. Heck, the only 2 I didn't like were Heidi (I think) and Ben! All the others are very talented!!!

Jaymz and Jessica do not excite voting so I expect to see them in the bottom 3, along with Alek/ Dimitri and ???." Just reviewed my tape and found Brian Friedman remark. Not so tired today, so could hear it a little more clearly (went very fast). He said of Jamyz that he has "really bad hands and flimsy arms", he was worried about the couple showing the emotion of the dance as real not fake, and wished he had a different couple. Nigel did speak to the piece about whether the dance came across as "believable". He said he thought it was, and hoped Brian thought so too. Actually, I thought the CHOREOGRAPHY was weak on this one, ironically, in spite of the fact that it used the whole stage. Supposedly you were supposed to see the guy putting up a wall and resisting the girl, then finally "breaking down" his wall...I didn't get that at all. Just kind of pretty dancing, but not that gripping. Who I would expect to see in bottom 3 due to performance. 3 out of these 4: Ashlee and Ben Aleksandra and Dmitry Martha and Travis Jessica and Jaymz Don't think Ben will be there because of popularity. Think Aleksandra and Dmitry will, and Jessica and Jaymz, which is exactly what Fruitbat said. Don't know about Martha and Travis, because their previous performances were so "wow" that we don't know their individual personality rating with viewers. Don't think Musa will be at bottom, because his style and spirit ("heart") and partnership with Natalie are all so great...and I personally as viewer didn't see the degree of "lousy" footwork the critics saw; I just saw a highly enjoyable performance...I guess we'll see tonight.

I agree Mocha, I am not fond of either one. Beth, he said more than I remembered too and I agree with you about their dance.

I love this show! I didn't watch it the last time it was on and didn't think I would like it. I am now a fan of hip-hop dance. I don't care for Aleksandra, either. Nor am I a big fan of Dimitri.

I read comments from last night west coasters. I really like Heidi! I think her face is just her face--how she shows intensity.
