Katee's solo - cute pictures when she was little. She's very expressive and feels the music when she dances.

Josh/Chelsia - Tango by Dimitri. I thought it was fun and totally enjoyed it. Again, they have chemistry, but then I think that Josh will have chemistry with everyone he dances with. The tight pants didn't hurt either.

Mark's - solo was not memorable, but I loved when he choreographed with his hands to Cat's giving the phone numbers.

Will/Courtney - slow hip/hop. Disagreed with Nigel on this one. I saw something different than them. I just didn't feel Will on this until the very end. In my opinion, Courtney stole it again. Not to mention, I didn't like the way that Will draped his arm over Courtney's shoulder during part of the critique. It was kind of dismissive towards her (IMO).

Pamy - I think I need to see Mark and Comfort's hip-hop again. I was kind of caught up in the clothing more than the dance. I think I was distracted.

Chelsia - lots of hip twisting and kicking from the ballroom background. She's better with a partner. It's her birthday - 19 years old - wow.

Katee/Twitch - Sweet Georgia Brown with Tice. So far, I think this is my favorite dance of the night. They are naturals at this. Nigel is surprised at Twitch being the least trained dancer but rises to the occasion. For Nigel, he's liked every single dance Katee's done. (and Twitch doesn't drape his arm over Katee like Will did. sorry, it just bugged me.) Toni Basel liked the reality that Twitch brings to the choreography (organic, real). He dances from the inside-out rather than a trained dancer who dances from the outside-in. She wasn't as high on Katee as the others were.

I am really tired of Nigel and Mary's obvious favoritism toward Will. Courtney OUT danced Will. Both times!! I appreciate the talent Will has but come on. They are/were so mean to Comfort and Mark and Jessie and Gev. Go Toni and LilC, they are making Mary & Nigel look bad!!

Josh solo - Nice, he credits his 3rd grade teacher Miss Wyatt with getting him into dance. He did the moonwalk when being sent to the principal's office. Wow, men aren't supposed to do splits like that!

Courtney's solo - a little slow starting, but like Katee, she really feels the music.

Twitch's solo - he acts so street when he's dancing his style and then is a cut up with Cat.

Comfort/Mark Foxtrot with Jean Marc. Not as bad as Nigel and Mary said. I thought Mark was good though. I think they both are marked to go home.

Josh/Chelsia Disco - I think Josh's inexperience in dance shows on this one. He certainly ate his Wheaties for how many times he lifted Chelsia. But,he had trouble bridging the lifts to the dancing. Nigel gave him too much praise. There was one point at the beginning, where I think he actually fell out of a step and then made it look like part of the choreography. and still loving the Josh-man too!

I hope that Comfort actually goes home this week. On the guys, I am tired of Will, but think that Mark will go home.

I liked both routines from Katee and Twitch; my favorite performance of the night was the one Mia choreographed--fantastic. I did liked both performances by Will and Courtney, but I didn't think they were as strong as Katee and Twitch's. I thought Josh and Chelsies' first routine was better than the disco one, but both good, not excellent. To me, Marc and Comfort's hip-hop routine was much better than the second routine and I didn't see them as a strong pair.

Even though every solo was great, my favorites of the night were Katee's and Will's; for me they've been consistently amazing. My favorite dancer is still Katee, so I hope she doesn't go. Of the guys, I don't know, but it looks like so many people are down on Will, in part bc of the judges, but I like him bc I think he is a strong dancer and a great performer, still I'm not convinced he won't be going tomorrow. I think this will be very close, great performances all around.

Kooklie, I just wanna thank you for the excellent recaps of the dances! I'll not get a chance to see this show (or tonight's, either), until this weekend, and you've just satisfied my "fix" for the week! :-)

I'll not be surprised to read that Comfort and Mark go home. I'd love to see Will go, but it ain't gonna happen. I think even if he got only 20 votes, some how, some way, he'd stay! :-)

Also not surprised to hear Courtney outdanced Will in the samba. That girl's done awesome whenever she's had a latin ballroom dance (her rumba last week, she outdanced her partner then, too).

LOved Katee and Twitch's door dancing. It was probably my fav of the night, followed by Josh's hot hot number.

I really hope Will goes tonight. I dont want any of the other guys to go.

I was so irritated by the judges not acknowledging how much Mark outdanced Comfort. He was so much better than her last night it wasn't even funny!

I also thought Courtney outdanced Will but of course the judges wouldn't mention that. I swear, when she was dancing the Samga -- I don't think I have a single part of my body that can move as fast as that girl's body in that yellow fringed dress!

Twitch and Katee...Katee definitely did the heavy lifting in this dance. Twitch barely had to do anything the first half of the dance except show attitude. I was wondering for a while whether he was going to dance at all! I can see Twitch becoming an actor...he has a great face. When he isn't smiling he is very serious and kind of scary looking...but then he smiles that huge smile with that little gap in his teeth and looks like such a doofus...gotta love it!

I've noticed ballroom dancers always have a hard time in the solos. They aren't trained to be solo dancers. But Chelsea is so cute and she really looks great when she dances...how does somebody so short have legs that go on forever like that? She definitely was the better dancer in their last dance together. Again, the judges didn't mention it though. Don't get me wrong...I like Joshua, but he basically was there to do the heavy lifting. He really didn't do the disco at all.

I thought Toni was definitely great as a judge...and the other two judges need to learn to be more objective. I'm sick of them telling me who I SHOULD vote for, when it is obvious to me who is better. I'm not saying that Mark is a better dancer than Will...but I also don't think Will is the 2nd coming of dance.

Of course I don't care enough to vote in the first place...LOL!

Pamy, you read my mind about Morris Day! That was a great solo by Will.

Dmitri still makes me swoon and doggone if he didn't remind me of a young Elvis with his new hairdo. Still can't understand half of what he says, but when you look that good who cares? LOL!

Toni was okay for me as a judge, she talked more about the history and style of the dance that actually critiquing the dancers IMO. Nigel and Mary had some Paula juice in their drinks last night. I was thinking during Comfort's routine that she needed to incorporate some of the awesome steps she has learned into her solo instead of running around posing, and was glad that Nigel told her that.

Josh, Josh, Josh, can you make us love you anymore? The flying twirling changing positions spin was breathtaking and had to take every ounce of strength and concentration that he had, so I give him a break on not transitioning to the dance steps too well. The Tango was one for the tour.

Will was a lil stiff during the Samba and Courtney's hips were grooving lol. I wanna dance with Josh so I can get some chemistry lololol.

I think Mark and Comfort should go this week.

I have a question and I'm sorry if it has already been answered here.

What does it mean when they put their hand on their shoulder with their elbow up in the air? It has been bugging me for weeks since I have no clue as to what it means.

Thanks!!

Costa, You are welcome. I have fun putting together the comments on the dance between whatever else I am doing on Wednesday evenings (last night was catching up on the ironing).

While I absolutely love Josh, I just didn't think that this was a great week for him. But, he should pass through easily on the tight pants alone.

I can now see Katee winning the entire thing. She is simply amazing and to think they almost cut her because she said she probably would not try out again. I actually think she is better than Sabra from last year.

When I saw the door routine, I was thinking of last year when one of the hip-hop dancers did a Mia routine with a contemporary girl. The judges basically gave him no credit because they said that Mia 'dumbed' his part of the routine down to meet his skill level. So, while being totally entertained with Twitch's role on the door routine, I was a bit worried that the judges were going to do the same thing. Fortunately, they did not and saw it as more of a performance. Mia looked pretty happy with the dance herself. beds, doors... next week, Mia will choreograph a kitchen sink routine.

Mare, I don't think we have talked about it here. I think it means they are 'representing' in the hip/hop world, or something like that. Someone can correct me if I am wrong.

yup - Will did fall out of his pencil turn at the beginning of the disco(pretty badly too) -- both DD and myself caught -- then chelsea had a mistep -- and we both got worried, but they focused got over it and really did well. I always worry with Disco to me thats like the kiss of death. I love Josh -- still love Twich. Will yes he is a wonderful dancer -- very technical, but like everyone says -- a little too much over the top. I enjoy watching Twich and Josh. I had to laugh when Toni ragged on them for preping their turns "like a recital" -- At the younger ages, the girls on teams get so yelled at for NOT preping their turns and they must have thier arms/hands just so when they turn. DD was like "WHAT"....

It's a given Comfort and Mark will be in the bottom 2, but I wonder who will be the other 2?

With the shoulder thing, they always say "for real!" when they do it, so I THINK it literally means "for real." Comfort started it or at least made it really obvious when she started doing it one night, then everyone started doing it, then Nigel did it, then finally it got incorporated into the group photo or dance. Thus, we probably won't see it again like anything that started out as slang and became mainstream.

I was coming to ask the same thing about the IV real, but they were also wearing those for real shirts before the whole arm thing started. I believe they have 4 fingers out when they do it too? don't really know.

I have to disagree about Toni. I almost shot my tv last night with her ignorant dance comments. OMG! at one point instead of critiquing a couple she went on and on about the history of something...thankfully forgot what. I said to my husband " so, really, how did we do?" which must be what the dancers were thinking. She also used "organic" several times which drives me insane (also drives me nuts when Mia does it). My favorite? saying that " making sure you do a "brazilian kick thing in the samba is important because if not it gets confused for jazz dancing" what is she talking about?
SHOOT ME NOW.

I think all the dancers did a good job last night. I would like to see Comfort and Mark go home. I think Kerrington and Gev deserved to still be there in their place. :-(

I like all the other dancers a whole lot and don't have a clear winner in mind. Although I hate the favoritism with Will, the kid IS talented. I loved his solo. It was great! I did see the slip that was mentioned above.

Come to think of it I would love to see a Twitch or Chelsea win.

Interesting about Cat and NIgel.

Just cause I love his "story" and his trying last year, not making it, going out and working to improve himself, and coming back again (and because I love his personality)... I'm kinda secretly hoping for a Twitch win. I dunno if it could happen, but it's my secret hope.

I am such a huge fan of this show, but I really was BORED last night. I don't think anyone really stood out. Mia has always been one of my favorites, and I thought her door dance was a sleeper. And my favorite -- Josh -- was not up to his usual standard -- I think his body thickness hurt him in the disco. But I still love him to death, and am voting for him and Katee to be in the final 4.
