I loved the Bollywood routine!

I could see where the judges comments came from for Twitchington's tango. If you think of the scene from "Mr. and Mrs. Smith" where that song came from (the hotel dance scene I believe), that was SULTRY.
Twitch and Kherington just didn't look passionate towards each other, with both hatred and sexual tension like I believe that piece should have been done with.
The technique wasn't all there to be sure, but the lack of chemistry was where I think it went all downhill.

ETA - Comfort looks SOOOOOO stiff doing her contempory piece. She wanted to show the world that she IS a dancer, but I feel like all she showed is that she isn't able to do anything but her own style.

Oh and the song Jessica and Will danced to first (contempory), was by Jan A.P. Kaczmarek.
I don't know why all they said was the song name and the album name and not her name.

Anyway, I felt like I should put that out there in case anyone liked it!

If the couple I voted for make bottom 3 don't blame me. I voted for half an hour. A new personal record! Bollywood was awesome.

I can't watch until tomorrow morning. Does it look bad for Jessica? I just love her and I'm not sure why. I know she isn't the best, but she captured me a couple weeks back. Does it look bad for her?

First dances: Mark & Chelsia were really good. I enjoyed watching them. Thayne and Comfort not so much. Thayne was trying so hard not to smile. It reminded me of DA on AI trying to keep his eyes open. Jessica and Will, I understand why the judges liked it so much, but I wasn't to enamoured with it. I actually walked out of the room. Just wasn't my thing.

even having him half naked didnt make that dance interesting, I think COurt and Gev or Josh/Kat would have made that dance smoking and sexy.

Yeah, maybe that was it, it was supposed to be really sexy, but it seemed more like 'twister' gone wrong to me.

I sort of laughed when Mia said that she nearly fell asleep when Tice played that song for her. I felt the same about the dance.

Now, Courtney and Gev were wonderful. There was a point in the beginning where they were looking away from each other and they each put their hand out. To me, there was more chemistry in that one movement than the 'twister' dance of Will and Jessica.
The choreography in Twitch & Kerrington's routine was kind of different. I'm not sure what to think about it or even whether I liked it. However, the choreographer and Twitch looked like they could be brothers.

Finally, Josh and Katie's waltz was wonderful. Everything fit, the music and them.

Tonight is the first night I really noticed Chelsea and Mark. Wow, she has pretty legs! I voted for them a few times.

The rest of my votes went to Joshua. I really enjoy his dancing.

What is the deal with Mia Michael's and her Flashdance fashion? No bra and shirt off the shoulder? Sorry, but I think she's a bit too old for that. LOL. And I agree that her judging can be a bit harsh. No need to tell Will he needs a new partner. She could have implied it and not been so blunt. Ouch.

I wonder if the dancers do their own makeup. Last week's talk of Courtney's lips got me wondering. She's a pretty girl, but she hides behind those dark bangs. In rehersal, it's like she doesn't even have a face with the pale lips and her dark eyes hiding behind the dark over-long bangs. I'm not sure why they aren't putting a brighter lipstick on her. Her partner has really pink lips and hers are so muted it almost looks like the have been spray tanned to match her face. A little pink lipstick please!

I think Thayne and Comforts days are numbered. Not sure who else will be bottom 3 with them. Probably Twitchington. Their Mr. and Mrs Smith lacked even a tenth of the steam that Angie and Brad put on the screen. I have a feeling the judges would like to see Will in the bottom 3 so they can get rid of Jessica. But will they get rid of her over Comfort? That's a tough call.

Will they be changing partners regardless? Nigel made a comment that made me wonder that. Do they redraw partners? I didn't think they did. (I thought they only got a new partner when theirs was elimintated, not a reshuffling of partners).

2nd round: Mark & Chelsia were fantastic. Much more sexy than Will & Jess's Adam and Eve dance earlier. I'm not sure where Mia was coming from on her critique.
Thayne & Comfort were okay. Like Mia, I thought that Thayne was really good, but Comfort brought it down.

Next week, the top 10 pick their partners for the night out of a hat. So, you never know who you will get from week to week. I guess it shows their versatility. Then, only the viewers vote counts as the guy & the girl receiving the least amount of votes goes home. Somewhere around the final 4 they start doing individual dances. At this point, the judges clearly want Will and, tonight, Katie in the Top 10. For awhile, they appeared to want Comfort there as well, but now I don't think so.

Thanks Kooklie. I have a bad memory I guess!

So, no more "dancing for your life" next week?

Are we allowed to say "Mia, what a *****" ? Really uncalled for putting Will on the spot and calling Jessica out. Will handled it like a true gentleman and very quickly too. I just bet he would have liked to have smacked her. Sometimes it's okay to think it but really not okay to say it in front of a person who is hard.

Will and Jess's quickstep felt more like a swing dance. They did everything but quickstep. Will seemed more like he was dancing by himself, but I always think that. Kiss of death? yes, probably bottom 3 for them.
Courtney & Gev - it was fun, but I'm not sure it will keep them out of the bottom 3.

Brenda, the bottom 3 boys and bottom 3 girls do a dance in their own style before they announce who is going home, but it is not 'dancing for your lives' anymore.

Okay, I have to say the Cat's dress is kind of ugly. The top half is pretty, but the full skirt to the kneew is not very flattery.

I love Gev and Court more each week.

I would have prefered Kherington's hair to be slicked back for that tango

Twitch & Kerrington.. Hmmm. I just love him in a suit. Sort of agree with the judges. I didn't think the dance was that great though. They may be in the bottom 3 as well. But, I suspect their popularity will pull them through.
Katie & Joshua.. Hmmm... Josh without a shirt. It was a fun dance. I think Katie was much better than Josh on this one. There were times when Josh's leg movements were not as high as Katie. But, how do they get in sync for some of those movements in such a short time? Very fun.

I think Will/Jessica, Thayne/Comfort and Courtney/Gev (only because they were there last week) will be in the bottom 3. Even if Twitch and Kerrington are in the bottom 3, I think the judges will keep them. Thayne, Comfort and Jessica if she is there should be worried.

Kooklie, How do you remember all this? LOL.

I noticed the camera man hardly filmed the feet of Will and Jess's quick step. It's like they knew from rehearsal that it wasn't very good and didn't want us to see how poor the footwork was.

I'm like Cliff Clavin in a way, alot of useless information stays in my head, while the important stuff goes in 1 ear and out another.

I didn't think that anyone's dance was outstanding last night, and the judge's sour attitudes certainly didn't enhance my viewing pleasure. Why do these judges on these shows think it is all about them? There is a fine line between critique and manipulating and Mia and Simon cross it all the time. Mary does to a lesser extent, IMO. Mia obviously likes "trained" dancers and that's why she is so in love with Thayne. Her nitpicking about some of the other men was on their technique...did they not know they weren't trained dancers when they picked them to be in the competition? I really don't know what she doesn't like about Mark. I think he improves every week.

Chelsea and Mark are probably my favorite couple, with Josh and Katee coming in 2nd. I also like Gev and Courtney. I'm sure that Twitch/Kherington and Will/Jessica are amazing dancers but they don't make me like them very much. I'm pretty sure Comfort and Thayne are gone tonight (unless they are somehow saved by not being in the bottom 3 which I doubt) and quite honestly I think they are the weakest of the remaining couples.

In Mia's defense, she seems to prefer dancers who are more organic in their moves, rather than those who are trained to perform or pose. Her style of dance is completely different than most of the dances being performed this week (I'm still watching the show).

All of the judges always have their faves. It's obvious when Nigel comes out and says whether the voting was unanimous or not. And it's human... we all have our own faves, too, don't we? And sometimes, our faves our influenced (or not) by what we see on the screen (for example, I know some are getting tired of the Will fawning and want to see him go).

After having watched them dance only their first dances, I'd bet Comfort is going home. Not sure about Thayne, but definitely Comfort is at risk.

I finally had a chance to click on all the Youtube links of my favorite dances and they have all been removed. Does anyone know any other site that keeps copies of the dances? I can't get my DVR to download to video this season (I was the nerd who recorded my favorite dances onto VHS) and I really want to be able to watch them again and again. I'm unwilling to keep them on my DVR taking up space. But I would even pay for a DVD.
