I'm pretty sure she is a Latin ballroom dancer.

Either way, she's a couples dancer, and that was the point Nigel always makes. How much harder it is for someone who normally partners to do a solo.

Not a problem, Costa!

Oh yeah! Nigel did mention that about Karen to her again this week, about how she's usually with a partner for her style of dance. I think the judges are taking that into consideration when she's had to dance for her life. I really, really liked Karen in the beginning, but am now lukewarm about her. In her style, she's great. But like the judges always say, they have to be able to do well in other styles, as well. Her solos have just been so so. But as it stands, Karen could hop on one leg during the whole routine, and neither Nigel nor Adam would care; They're too busy staring at her! LOL (Okay that was a feeble attempt at a joke.)

So sad to see Kevin go. He was really good, and like anyone else who dances out of their style, there's a lot of growing to do. I wish he had more time to show us more. I also hope the judges stop this bleeding soon. It's going to turn out to be a boring contemporary show!

About Mollee and Nathan ... looks like the fans took notice to what Nigel said last week, so they were in the bottom 3 this week. But I'll give it to them this time. When the time came for them to dance for their lives, they really tried hard! But like a lot of other posters, I honestly didn't take away much from Mollee's at all except a bunch of flips and tricks. So weird, too. Didn't Nigel boot someone off the show last year for doing too much of that in their solo?

Stormie, I hope Nathan gets his hair out of his eyes, too. It's distracting!

I feel that Nigel was bending over backwards to Nathan after what he said last week. After saying that Nathan had all these fans and he didn't give a hoot about that; just how they danced, Nathan/Mollee end up in the bottom three again.

If what Nigel said about all the teeny boppers voting for Nathan because he was cute, how is it he ended up in the bottom three again? Perhaps Nigel feels responsible for that, although he did explain to Nathan he will have to grow up fast if he wants to stay in the competition, all the while telling him how fantastic he is.

Methinks Nigel got a little talking to by someone.

I really enjoyed Karen and Kevin's dance last nigh. It seems the ones I enjoy get the boot the next night. I guess I'd better not enjoy anyone anymore..it's the kiss of death for them.

That first Group photo in the Wade Robson outfits looks more like something out of "America's Next Top Model" than SYTYCD.

I remember googling "blond female guitarist" when I first saw the MJ videos from his last dress rehearsal performance and found Orianthi. I think she is just IT and will be a star. I was excited to see her. And I think I want to take Bollywood dance classes..What fun.

PS I love Wade too...Travis is becoming a close 2nd

I wish someone else would dress Cat. She is getting to old to wear these types of baby doll clothes.

They are not flattering for someone who is so beautiful.

Her dresses are too short and her shoes are too clunky. It only emphasizes her skinny legs. Really not an attractive look.

I loved her dress, but the shoes were a total distraction. The whole show I kept trying to see what was "fluttering" on her feet. She finds the goofiest shoes! Loved her silky hair.

DH doesn't usually pay much attention to the guest artists, but when Orianthi went into her guitar riffs, he really sat up and said, "Whoa! Who's that? She's awesome!" She should be a big star! I liked her song, too.

Cat could wear paper bags and she'd still be attractive because of her personality.. which I love.. and her caring for the dancers.

I've never cared much about rules like what one "should" or shouldn't wear anyway.

I agree about Orianthi.. (Orianthi Panagaris)

Oh, Sea, I love Cat, too. She's arguably the best host on TV. I do have to laugh at some of her outfits, though. DH and I always get a kick out of what she's wearing, as much as anything else on the show. She's like a giant Barbie doll. I would never in a million years describe her as being "top heavy," though. I love that she is a "natural" girl and hasn't found it necessary to "enhance" her beauty surgically. I find it so sad that women have been brainwashed to think you can't be beautiful unless you wear a certain cupsize. Ridiculous!!!

By top heavy I meant her shoulders look very broad on top of her skinny legs. The padded shoulder cap short sleeve dresses she wears that are very short make her look top heavy. Not all top heavy means boobage.

I really like Cat too, she's the best host I've ever seen. And I love that she wears what she wants, regardless of what others might think; Cat gives off the impression she knows who she is and would not give two sticks what anything thinks, which she shouldn't. Maybe she likes the sixties, or wants to show off her long legs, who knows, there is nothing wrong with how her body looks in anything; women are not one dimensional. Cat seems like a wonderful person and I hope next year she wins the Emmy.

Did anybody else watch last night? I'm thinking Mollee/Nathan, Karen/Victor and either Russell/Noelle or Legacy/Kathryn for the bottom 3. It was a really great show but I felt that Karen/Victor's second dance was really weak, wasn't impressed by either of Mollee/Nathan's dances ... I thought both of Ryan/Ellenore and Jakob/Ashleigh were awesome dances...I truly hate to see either of these couples breaking up.

Do you think if Karen/Victor are in the bottom 3 this week the judges can justify keeping either one of them? They have been consistently in the bottom...I just don't think Karen has the ability to change styles and Victor is too similar (and in my opinion not nearly as good) as Jakob.

I agree with all of your picks. I was absolutely not impressed with Karen/Victor much at all, and totally was unimpressed with Mollee/Nathan, too. Ryan/Ellenore and Jakob/Ashleigh just tore it up for both of their dances. They really have had great partnerships, those two couples.

And I agree about Victor... I would prefer to see Jakob as the leading contender. I'm not much impressed with Victor. And truly, I thought Karen had attitude when the judges were talking to her.

Costacat, I agree about Ryan/Ellenore and Jakob/Ashleigh. Great performances by them.

Unlike some of you, I liked Mollee/Nathan; actually more in their first dance. I hate hip hop, but they made it very entertaining and therefore I was surprised at the judges comments.

I'm thinking Legacy or Russll may in trouble tonight and perhaps Noelle or Kathryn?

I think of the two that Legacy will go before Russell, simply because the judges seem to prefer Russell. However I think Victor will go before either of them. I would hate to see either Noelle or Kathryn go before Karen because in my opinion they are much better dancers and I like them better (LOL). I think that Ashleigh's development as a dancer has put a spotlight on Karen...she just hasn't progressed as far. I don't care how sexy the judges think she is - she (again, in my totally dance-unexperienced opinion) just isn't as good a dancer.

I agree. My bottom two couples were Mollee/Nathan and Karen/Victor. I still feel that Mollee/Nathan are not mature enough to be in this competition. You can see it in their dancing. Last week I thought Mollee's solo was a high school cheer audition. That being said, I dislike Karen more and more each week and Victor is just another contempo boy.
Ashleigh and Jakob rocked it last night. They've never been my top couple, but of course now that they're being split up, I have them as my top, lol.
My favorite couple up to this point, Ryan and Ellenore did a wonderful job last night, and I was so happy to see it.
I'm still not a Legacy fan, but I really do like his partner. I enjoyed Russell/Noelle last night, but it sounded as though the judges were ready to throw her under the bus as the weekly sacrifice to keep Mollee and Karen. If they are in the bottom, I expect to see her go.
My picks to be the most vulnerable if they are bottom 3 are Victor and Noelle. Not that I think Noelle deserves it, but going from the judges comments last night. My personal picks would be Victor and either Mollee/Karen ... probably Mollee.

You know, Lady, something I noticed last night... I'm disliking Karen more and more as the competition goes on, and I'm not sure why. It may be the judges gushing over her sexuality (which I just don't see). Dunno.

If Mollee and Karen are in the bottom (again) and don't go, I'm gonna cry foul! I don't think Mollee is all that great of a dancer. Give her a couple of years. I can't see her doing one of those contemporary numbers that really pulls at our heartstrings, and her attempt to be sexy fell flatter 'n a pancake.

I think the judges would make a huge judgment (no pun intended) in error if they once again refuse to eliminate Karen. I think the viewing public has shown (and the comments from last week) that they don't like her. Keeping her after her 2nd or 3rd partner and how many weeks in a row in the bottom would really be rather insulting to the public in this "most favorite" dancing competition.

I thought Russell and Noelle did well, but I didn't think their performances were as good as I've seen them do. I liked Legacy and Kathryn, Sonya, wow, but something didn't mesh completely, although I thought Legacy was very good and keeps improving. I liked Ellenore and Ryan, they keep getting better; I'd love to see them dance with other partners. I thought Nathan and Molly did very well, improved a lot since the beginning, but their routines weren't as good as some of the others. And I loved the Ashleigh and Jacob Sonya routine very much, that was impressive.

With that, I really like Karen and would love to see her stay, there is something about her that has such strength and perserverance, and I can see her growing as a dancer in weeks to come, so I hope she gets that chance. I did notice the second routine she and Victor performed had some mistakes, but I liked them both together, particularly in the Tango, that was very impressive. I do like Victor also, I hope he stays as well. It's hard to say who might be leaving, people see things so differently, and I didn't see anyone who really stands out as bad with no hope to improve, so other than hoping Karen stays, I'm pretty much on the fence this week.
