LOL, Beachcomber...exactly. They should have paired her with someone taller. I liked Couples 2, 7, 9 & 10. As I watched Couple 9, I was thinking what a great dancer he was. He reminded me of Benji, who won last year. Imagine my surprise when the judges panned him. I enjoyed the last couple's dance very much. Silly judge, her costume matched the music they selected. They really gave an entertaining performance.

Anyone know the name of the song that Benji's sister danced too?? The only ones I'm voting for are Hok and Benji's sister

I was pleasantly surprised that I found them all extremely good. No one stuck out like a sore thumb. I thought they all deserved to be there. Benji hasn't changed a bit...still as goofy as ever. I wonder...does anyone know if he is still dancing with Celine Dion? I would think he would be in Las Vegas if he still was.

Ahh, thanks Sweetpea. I did find clips of a few of the dances at Rickey.org. I'll check out youtube tomorrow to see if anyone posted them there.

I loved lacey & Kameron's routine. I think Ricky is going to struggle being the shorter partner. They were all fairly good

What I really like about this show (which I didn't watch last season and only caught a few eps of before I started watching this season) is that the calibre of talent is REAL. You can't fake it like you can in other "talent" shows out there. After tonight, my fave is still Hok and I really like the b-girl, Sara. I thought her routine (Triplets of Belleville) was really interesting, and, like others here, I liked Lacey & Kameron's routine too. I don't usually like that style of dance, but the choreography had an edge that I appreciated. I also thought Jimmy was the WAY better dancer than his partner at the end.

Makays, far as I know Benji never took the Celine Dion job. He has been busy with various other projects, including putting together instructional DVDs with cousin Heidi. I'm still hoping he does that Fred Astaire movie! One of my favorite moments tonight was when Nigel said that he thought that Shane's choreography actually held Hok back (and I felt that was VERY true....I kept wanting to see Hok really break out). Nigel did temper it by saying he was sure it was to balance the choreography between Hok and his non-hip-hop partner, but still I was glad it was said outloud, because I was feeling it strongly. Interesting that Nigel refused to pick who might be in danger: this year for the first year, they are all top notch. I think Dan was the only one to pick a pair possibly in danger--I think it was Ricky and partner, which I thought so too, but the way things go, maybe now more people will vote for Ricky to save him. I have real trouble figuring out who the bottom ones will be. I didn't vote tonight: figured Hok was safe; even if in bottom, pretty sure judges would save him.

I wish they would follow "Dancing with the Stars"'s example and at least give them two weeks to build a fan base before the first elimination. It doesn't seem fair to have some people dancing in the style they're best at and others having to tackle a new style and then have an elimination. They should each have to perform in a style to which they're unaccustomed before the first 'booting'.

I'd have to agree with the idea of giving them a couple of competitions before voting anybody out. We watched the whole show and hardly moved....really some fantastic dancing and even the worst, relatively speaking, were pretty good. Seems a shame to cut somebody based on one show but I guess they've got to get on with the process sooner or later.

Isn't it the judges who actually choose who goes? Don't the bottom three get an another opportunity and then the judges boot one of them- or is that later in the competition? It's a shame that both in a pair go - even if one is really good.

last year it wasn't necessarily both in a pair that went. the judges picked one girl from the three and one boy from the three after they had their solos

Yes, if I remember correctly the pairs are not eliminated. The bottom 3 dance solo and then one girl and 1 guy are eliminated. The remaining ones pair up. Do they keep the same partner until one gets eliminated? I don't like this. I understand that it helps them build a relationship, but I think some people just get partners that arent' suited for them, like the pair where the girl is so much taller and bigger than he is. I have a feeling one of them will leave the competition early because of this.

Elsewhere I read that after the first 5 shows the partners are selected randomly.

I've been able to find video clips of all of the performances except: Ashlee/Ricky, Lauren/Neil and Shauna/Jimmy. I've checked youtube and rickey.org. Anyone have any other suggestions of where I could find clips? I loved Lacey and Kameron contemporary and Sara and ? the Triplets of Bellvile routines. Were they well received by the judges?

I think Rickey needs a taller partner. It was sort of 'what were they thinking' when watching them dance.

I just finished watching last night's show, and the three I think are gonna be in the bottom are: Ashlee & Ricky - Argentine Tango Faina & Cedric - Hip Hop Lauren & Neil - Club Salsa Of those three, I think Ashlee and Ricky should go. I kinda feel bad for her -- she is so much taller than him, so it is an awkward pairing. But I also didn't feel any connection between them. All three of those couples bored me. Mostly because of lack of chemistry and not because of lack of technical skills. ALL of the top 20 really rock! Much better group than last year, where there were a few who really could NOT cross genres with any real credibility.

i love this show i love this show i love this show I have to admit that I was a naysayer thinking that as much as I love the show, they would never live up to last year's dancers but I just might be wrong. My absolute fave is Jesus! I love the kid! and I did not think much of the b girl but I like her a lot now as well , especially now that I know she has been trained in other styles as well. My top girl faves though are Lauren and Jaime with Lacey a distant 3rd. My top guy faves are Jesus, Ricky and Kameron. I felt so bad for Ricky because as amazing as he is, the dance choice and partner choice were awful. WHO ARE EVERYONE'S TOP 3's? I do NOT see the Pasha sex appeal AT ALL. I want my Dimitri back now! lol Anya and Faina annoy the crapola out of me for some reason, especially Faina. Shauna and Cedric seem out of their league to me. Neil is unbelieveable! Even though he is not in my top 3 and even though I did not like his dance yesterday, I rewund his bio clip where he did all of those leaps at least 5 times because I could not believe the height and precision in them! wow! One word of advice...VOTE FOR YOUR FAVES! I still feel guilty that Allison went home last year and I did not vote for her. She was my favorite and I was so bummed when she got voted out. I believe they will have the bottom 3 couples and then they all have to dance individually. They judges then pick the ones to go home. Oh! one more thing...did anyone notice (during one of the dance lessons) the guy with all the hair that got voted out last year for making up his solo on the spot? He was in one of the studios helping to teach. I was so annoyed that he was even invited to be there. I remember agreeing with Nigel last year on his decision to vote him out. To have him be part of the show again, I thought, was too much of a privilege. Thankfully they did not spotlight him.

Sorry, but I never vote for anyone on this show. I'm still really liking Jessi. Less enamoured with Anya, Faina, and Lacey (I think Lacey's just a wee bit too cocky ).
