Alex and Twitch's dance was awesome, really a special moment.

If I were one of the girls, I'd want to partner with Ade. Of all the dancers, I think he 'presents' his partner the best of the all-stars. That is, while he's really good, the focus of the dance appears to be on the contestant, not him.

Kent, the "deer in the headlights" look has to go!

Jose has wonderful 'inner light' that shines through, but his skill level isn't going to keep in the competition.

Adechike - amazing solo dancer. I thought it was the best solo of the night. Pairs, that's a different story.

Melinda better hope there are 2 guys (not Billy, Robert or Alex) in the bottom 3. If she's there, that's her only possibility of staying another week.

I don't think there is any way Melinda is staying another week, unless by some miracle she isn't in the bottom 3.

Oh, I forgot to mention... totally freaked me out. As they started the night showing the dancers drawing cards for their all-star partner, I was wondering if it really random draws or did the girls draw only male all-stars and the guys draw only female. And then Alex draws Twitch! I guess that answered that... they were lucky so far that they'd been paired with an opposite sex all-star. Alex's expression was hilarious.

But the two of them, wow! Best.Pairing.Ever. Alex totally kept up with Twitch, and that's saying a lot.

Costa, though I agree the Twitch/Alex dance was really good, as I watched it live last night, I thought that Twitch actually slowed down some of his moves to stay at the same level with Alex. There is a point at about 3/4 through, where Twitch is doing a solo, and then Alex joins in. Twitch definitely slows his movements down to Alex's level. Of course, that's what makes Twitch a great partner. But, having said that, Alex did a great job.

I would guess that the guys drew from a stack that had 5 females and Twitch, while the girls drew from a stack that only had 3 males. These shows never leave anything to chance and would have set it up for a male/male dance.

With 30 picks in the first 3 weeks, the odds of not having another same gender pairing are pretty steep.

Agreed, Keldogg, I did see Twitch looking to make sure that Alex was able to keep up and he did slow some of his moves down. but as you said, that's what makes him such a great partner.

I haven't checked in here yet this season, so I apologize if this has already been covered... does anybody know why Mary Murphy is missing?

Costa -

Bottom 3 were:

Billy, Robert and Melinda

ETA: I'm sure you can guess, but Melinda went home!

Oh yeah...they are changing things again next week: 2 dances each, one dance with a pro never danced with before and the other dance is with one of the other competitors.

don't quote me on that. I think I got it correct, but I wasn't paying close attention.

Thanks Justfun! Not sorry, or surprised, to hear Melinda went home.

I'll watch it tomorrow morning, and will pay attention to the new format next week (if someone hasn't posted by then).

KL, yes that's who I meant, thanks for catching that!

Billy and Robert can go next. I totally had all 3 bottom correct.

JF - you got it right.

Robert dances beautifully, BUT, there's still something about him that is a disconnect for me. He just doesn't seem sincere to me.

I so loved Alex and Twitch with their hip hop routine. It's one of my all time favorite routines. Alex is a great dancer.

For me, Billy is even more of a disconnect than Robert. I expected to be more impressed by Billy than I am. I think it's more his personality than anything else.

I love watching both Kent and Jose! They do have a spark that the others don't have.

Right now, for me it's Alex for the win.

Not ready to pick a final winner but we wouldn't be surprised to see the final three come down to Alex, Ashley, and Kent. Kent and Billy are a bit interchangeable for us right now as both are technically good but the connection with the audience and their partners is not quite there for us.

I would like Robert more if he didn't try to be so cute and would keep his mouth shut.

I think Kent, Billy, and Robert are great dancers, but I just don't feel a connection with them. Of the three, I like Robert best because he's a bit different (like Mark, he's got a bit of a twisted edge). Billy bores me, for some reason (his personality, which also comes thru as boring in his dance even though he's a great dancer). Kent is getting by on the "cutesy" factor. He's a good dancer but I don't think he's all that great. And that deer in the headlights thing is really irritating.

I'd agree with Alex and Ashley in the finals. In third I'd be OK with Jose, Lauren, or Robert.

With Alex, I feel like he's had to work at being the dancer that he is today. He just seems grounded to me.

ITA with most everything that has been said. I'm sorry to see Melinda go, only because the tappers almost always leave first, and because she showed she could do far more than just tap.

So I'll admit that I haven't kept up with it as well as I did on previous seasons. But, isn't the show down to only 2 females?! That seems to make it quite unfair, since (at least I suspect that) the teeny-bopper girls are voting the most.

Two more weeks will give us all males if the voting trend continues. How would that then affect the tour they go on every year?

Well, not necessarily. After this week there will always be a male in the final 3...the judges can opt to send a male home in lieu of a female.

Isn't the tour usually the top 10? In this case (and by the way they didn't go on a tour last year with the fall season) they can take all 11 dancers on tour with them if they choose.

The next 2 that will go will be males, no doubt in my mind. I think Robert and Billy will be bottom every week until they are gone. I would love to know if Melinda got more votes than one of them last night

Kent, Alex, Jose, and 1 of the girls for final 4.

I am so behind in my viewing....I need to catch up so I can talk intelligently! But I will say that while I haven't watched the first elimination show (yep, I am that behind!), I did just watch the first one with the top 11 dancing and I think Alexie was the right one to go. Great dancer, but not a mature performer. She just didn't get the concept and looked like a high school cheerleader (bless her heart.)

I like the new format, though don't think I focus on the individuals any more than I did before. I still see to see the partners as a unit for the most part and my eyes tend to go to the more interesting dancer (new or old.) In fact, I want to hear more about the all stars....I am attached to them, and while I do feel like I am getting to know and getting attached to the new people, I am curious about what has been going on with the all-stars. Are they giving them more airplay? I am hoping as the crowd thins out, that is what they are left with. And also hope as the new kids leave, the all-stars get to do more dancing to fill space!

I feel like no one should go home now! The remaining dancers are so exceptional. I do not think Kent will win this, I think the judges will let him go before America has the only vote(s). Other than that, I have no clue. If the judges were picking, I think it is obvious they would choose Alex, at least at this point.

Wow what a great season! I love this show! (except for Mia) I hope to see Mary soon!

Something just doesn't seem to gel. They said that Mary isn't a judge because she will be doing some coreography...well where is she. Does anyone know the real reason she isn't there. I don't buy the other one???????

Maybe she just hasn't choreographed anything yet. There are still weeks to go...
