I feel bad for Shauna, she has suffered from having a weak partner and I think tonight was undeserved. I heart Zac Effron...I don't care that he's like 10-15 years younger then me! LOL

So happy that Jamie is staying... she's one of my faves. I agree that Shauna got robbed. The judges clearly have more respect for Anya for whatever reason. I must say, Danny is really very impressive. I'm thinking mybe he would've been better off with Shauna? Really appreciated Cedric's dancing tonite. Wow. Hillary Duff looked great as a brunette I thought (have no idea if this is new - was to me)

Anya will always be in bottom 3 if Danny remains cold with no charisma...so it is not that Anya cannot dance. It is Danny who is needs to connect or something.

I do not understand the dislike for Anya..Just like I would think Neil got lucky tonight because of the routine, he put his all into it. Last week he was not good and next week he could be in bottom 3 again.

I think Danny and Shauna would have been a GREAT combination; too bad we will never get to see it! I thought Danny made a great decision to go shirtless....that too could be overdone, but since we had seen him solo before, it certainly brought something new to the table and made you take a 2nd look. Remember Dimitri last year?

I was surprised they kept Anya over Shauna.

I liked Cedric. But not Shauna. So that clearly puts me in the minority. Lol

I absolutely see NO connection between Anya and Danny. Even while the two couples were standing there waiting to hear who was in the bottom three. The other couple (can't remember who it was) were holding hands. Anya? She was standing there with her hands clasped in front of her; Danny had his hands clasped behind him. I see absolutely no charisma, no connection, no charm. Nothing between them. Danny is a phenomenal dancer but he bores me to tears. And I just don't see what's so special about Anya. Besides BOTH of her solos have sucked, the judges told her so, and yet she still gets thru. I wasn't a huge Shauna fan, but I would've much preferred to see Anya go first.

I would have really liked to see Danny and Shauna paired up - even maybe doing ballet! I read that article (thanks for the link) and it was VERY interesting but also the snobbery ticked me off. I'm a dancer my whole life and I have never felt that judgmental about this show - in fact it's the greatest thing to happen to dance in my opinion, along with Dance Life. I also noticed that Hillary looked sad or mad or something, but I have also never seen her before so I wouldn't know if that's what she always looks like. Can someone see if there are rumors out there about what her deal was?

Put me on the "Anya needed to go" train. Have thought so for quite some time but agree that Mary just adores her and I don't understand why. She exclaimed at the audition that she was the best ballroom dancer they had EVER had...huh? Strongly disagree. I still don't see one single quality in her dancing.Not at that level anyway. In addition to not seeing any dance skills for her to be on the show, I think she looks like she is 40 and does not even have a great figure! growth? huh? Next week or the next they will say " oh well, yeah, we gave you a chance but your solos are still not good so you have to go" Just gett rid of her now, geez. Shauna is not my ultimate favorite but she blows Anya away - any day. The judges have been pissing me off this year to no end. At least, yes, Cedric is finally gone. I was very happy Jaime stayed.

I need some help. Can someone get me a screen cap of Anya's tiger (solo) costume from last night. I want to show my daughters dance coach. Their theme is tigers this year and parts of this costume would be awesome for them.

I get pissed off all over again watching that. What did she do other than strut a little bit, spin a couple of times, and lift her leg (while bending the other, I might add). Compared to what Shauna did: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IYjP51Rlyeo Let's see Anya do a vertical split (without bending either leg) and a triple spin.

Which is why I absolutely hate the fact that she's still there. Each of the two times she's been in the bottom she's done nothing for her solo. I don't see her dancing for her life at all! Yet Mary has some frickin' fascination with her and Nigel thinks she's great.

P.S. I've been comparing Anya's solos to Heidi's solos, from last season. And Heidi tromps all over Anya. I just don't get it. I just don't see her as special as all that.

Thanks for the YouTube links! LadyW, I thought Anya's costume was the best thing about her dance (I did really like the costume, just wish she had done something with it; like dance like a tiger. Hok danced like a scarecrow and didn't even need a scarecrow costume!)

I cannot believe they kept Anya. Her solos suck. In comparison, last year Heidi's solos were awesome. She was so light on her feet and packed so much into her solos. I think they kept Anya cause Nigel has the hots for her!

Aren't ballroom dances done with a partner? Is there solo ballroom dancing? tia

Ballroom dances are partner dances. However, there are some dances where the two separate, and can perform different moves or dance steps. This always comes up because it IS more difficult for a dancer who is used to partnering to have to perform solo. However, if that person can ONLY dance well with a partner, then that person should go. As Nigel said last night, it's not just about the partner. Heidi. Pasha. Dimitri. Benji. All ballroom dancers. All used to dancing with partners. All performed solos that kept them in the game well ahead of solo artists.
