And I would have enjoyed you going, too. I would have loved your commentary. It's fun to read when you are just watching on tv, so I know it would be incredibly entertaining up close and personal!

Danny and Sara first doing the Argentinian (is that spelled correctly) tango. The judges loved it. Lauren and Dominic next krumping. Mixed reviews from the judges.

Lacey and Neil coming up after the break. Did they say Latin jazz?

Yep Latin Jazz/Contemporary. I liked Danny/Sara and Lacey/Neil so far. Didn't care for the krumping.

The Hairspray guy is back as a judge and he told Lacey has developed a habit of looking out and she needs to look at her partner more (which I think is what people have basically said around here.) Mary said the chemistry is not there for her at all. Niles didn't like their performance at all. Neil was shirtless, by the way.

Danny/Sara were the best for me so far, though I didn't think they were as wonderful as the judges. But then I think about the short time they have to work on these routines and I know I am being too hard on them. Didn't think Lauren and Dominic were in sync enough with the krumping. I liked Lacey and Neil better than the judges, though I think their comments were fair. Pasha and Sabra with Broadway next.

Great Broadway routine by Pasha/Sabra. I loved it.

Judges loved it, too. Hairspray guy said Pasha was good, but Sabra was a revelation. Mary screamed. Nigel commended the choreographer.

My initial prediction based on the first dances only...it is Lauren and Dominic's week to go home.

Hip Hop with Danny and Sara. Negative response from the judges. I personally loved it. I admittedly have a soft spot for Push It by Salt n Pepa, which probably influenced somewhat but I thought they did it well.

Krumping is a hard dance for a couple to do. It's usually a bit disjointed if you are not familiar with the dance style. I think those who've krumped have gone out right afterwards, IIRC. Of course, I could be confused.

Rhumba with Lauren and Dominic. Mixed reviews. Had chemistry, had good lines, but not enough rhumba/dance moves. Lots of posturing. Nigel was impressed that Dominic was not a characature this week...which I also thought about as he danced. (I think the judges were right...it was beautiful overall and worked well together, but they seemed to have a few problems working with the shoes they were wearing and I think the choreography was to hide that.)

Lacey and Neil in a Mia Michaels contemporary piece that was based on her and her dad. Judges loved it. I loved it, too.

Quick step with Sabra and Pasha. Judges thought it was tremendous...I agree again. Loved Sabra's leap in the midst of a little quick step prancing....very cute. I loved the choreography. Isn't Sabra the one that has only been dancing a couple of years? Boy, she's a good student. I'll bet she will get all kinds of work after this show (starting with the Hairspray guy.)

Did everyone like Mia's routine? I read spoilers that it was supposed to be a tear-jerker. It just didn't affect me like it apparently did everyone else. I enjoyed all of Mia's dances last season, and have been disappointed this season. I was so hoping that tonight would be the night. And I'm with the Hairspray guy - love Sabra this season. I'm rooting for her.

I cried. probably because my own father has passed and I could relate. I thought it was really beautiful. Neil shirtless! YOWZERS

I liked Mia's routine, would like to say I absolutely loved it, but not quite. I wish Lacey could take back one thing she did...spitting the flower out of her mouth at the end. Everything else was so touching and moving...including the fact that evidently Mary also has/is losing someone in her life??? Anyone know about that? Anyway, the playful spit of the flower was just inappropriate, I wish she could take it back. Loved Sabra tonight, and Pasha. Quick step was definitely my favorite of the 2 routines...couldn't quite get into the Broadway for some reason. I liked Neil's barechested routine with Lacey; was really surprised everyone seemed to be so "hard" on it. Trying to think if anything else a standout...oh, thought Sara was great, and for me she overshadowed Danny in their couple.

Beth, I'm so glad someone mentioned Lacey's behavior after they danced. I have really been trying to like her, and I thought she and Neil did a beautiful job with Mia's number, so she was getting back into my good graces....and then she stuck the flower in her mouth. That was bad enough, but when she spit it out? OMG!!! How disrespectful can you be? To me, she has no class and has been coasting on her "sexiness." Meh.

Overall best were Sabra (the best female dancer by far) and Pasha. Bottom couple, and this is relative because none were bad, were probably Lauren and Dominic. Realize that it's individual votes now but wouldn't be surprise to see Lauren and Dominic on the bottom though it wasn't a great night for Danny and Sara so one of them getting voted off wouldn't be a great surprise.

The hip hop routine was TERRIBLE. I'm dissapointed with Sara being a B-girl. I love Lacey so she could do no wrong lol. I'm ready to see Lauren go!
