So I Think I Can Judge...Don't We All!  

Are you ready to rumble?!?!?!

Yes, boys and girls, it's that time of the week when I decide who danced well, who sucked, who should go home and who got the shaft. Last week poor Kourtni and Matt were the "who" for three out of the four. I wonder who the judges will try to get rid of this week. After this week, it's all up to America.

But, first things first...what the hell is Cat going to be wearing tonight?!? Let's find out!

I'm not sure what Cat is wearing but the pattern reminds me of the bedspread I had in college. That thing really should have been burned.

Nigel has a new doo!

Mia Michaels is the guest judge tonight and I heard a rumor that she was especially bitchy to Mark. Bitch better be watching her back!

Pair: Chelsie Hightower & Mark Kanemura
Style:
Salsa
Choreographer(s):
Alex de Silva
Background Nugget: Who told Alex that those glasses looked good?
Song: Fuego by Joe Bataan
Thoughts:
Loved it! Mark was hot. Chelsie was to die for (or to kill for). The choreography was hot and they made it look easy.
Note Worth Move:
The ending crotch-to-face lift was good but the after-routine dismount was even better.
Judges: Nigel says it was a terrific opening and the footwork was great. Mary calls it a rocket fast number and says it worked. Mia calls Chelsie stunning and says she wants to stab her.

Pair: Comfort Fedoke & Thayne Jasperson
Style: Hip Hop

Choreographer(s):
NappyTabs
Background Nugget: Thayne smiles too much.
Song: We Can Chill by Ne-Yo
Thoughts: Despite the fact that he's a real big goof ball, I like Thayne. Comfort not so much since last week (she should have gone home instead of Kourtni). I watched Thayne almost the entire time and thought he did an awesome job. NappyTabs is A-1 in my book!
Note Worth Move: I'm not sure how to describe that slide on the floor, grind, and then slide under thing they did.

Judges: Cat calls it Hip Hop Days of Our Lives! Nigel didn't like them. Thinks Thayne tried but Comfort didn't. Mary didn't think they had chemistry. Mia calls it a little bit more than good but says they need to work on their connection.
Number: 1-888-83676-02

Pair: Jessica King & William Wingfield
Style:
Contemporary
Choreographer(s):
Oh good lord! They are letting Tyce DiOrio do Contemporary!
Background Nugget: Tyce is getting biblical.
Song:
Silence from Unfaithful (Soundtrack)
Thoughts: OMG! WTF was that?!?!? That was bad! The song sucked. The choreography sucked. None of the moves seemed to go together. They were shaky during all of the lifts. It was just a train wreck.
Note Worth Move:
They would have scored more points if they had just had sex on the stage.
Judges: Nigel calls Tyce's work extraordinary and proceeds to pimp Will. Mary liked it and thought it was hot. It was NOT hot and NOT amazing. Why are they saying it was so good? I hope Mia calls it like it was. Mia thinks it amazing. WTF? Did you like it? Am I just insane? Is my dislike of Will clouding my judgement THAT bad? Please let me know. If that is the case, I'm just going to stop saying anything about them.

Pair: Courtney Galiano & Gev Manoukian
Style: Cha-Cha

Choreographer(s):
Anya & Pasha!!!!
Background Nugget: Everyone but Courtney spoke Russian. Gev shaved his chest hair.
Song: Don't Stop The Music by Rinanna (The Wideboys Club Mix)
Thoughts: Loved it!!! Best of the night! THAT was hot! Gev was total in control and Courtney looked like she was willing to do anything!
Note Worth Move: Everything! Pasha and & Anya made this thing smokin'!

Judges: Nigel says WOW and calls it great fun. He also says they are perfect for each other. Mary says it was magic and it was a great number. They are on the Hot Tamale Train! Mia calls it fabulosity at it's best.
Number: 1-888-83676-04


Pair: Kherington Payne & Twitch
Style: Krump

Choreographer(s): Lil'C
Background Nugget: They are looking for the buckness. I'm too old to know or care what "buckness" is.
Song: 2 Buck 4 TV by Tha J-Squad
Thoughts: White chicks shouldn't krump. It was okay but not for me.
Note Worth Move:
nothing.
Judges: Nigel says Kherrington did a damn good job...except for the last 16 bars. Mary now believes in Krump. Is Krump like Santa? Mia calls it nasty and buck.
Number: 1-888-83676-05

commercial

Pair: Katee Shean & Joshua Allen
Style: Vienesse Waltz

Choreographer(s):
Jean-Marc Genereux
Background Nugget: Joshua is playing a ghost...a ghost that can lift a human.
Song: Iris by The Goo Goo Dolls
Thoughts:
That was pretty good too and the lifts were smooth. I could see the story they were trying to tell.
Note Worth Move: Joshua lifted her up really high above his head and wasn't shaky at all (Will should take notes).
Judges: Nigel calls Joshua bouncy and Katee beautiful. Mary says all the lifts were great but the dancing of the Waltz was lacking and didn't glide. Mia calls Joshua a football player trying to dance but that Katee was meant to dance.
Number: 1-888-83676-06


commercial

Pair: Chelsie Hightower & Mark Kanemura
Style:
Broadway
Choreographer(s):
Frickin' Tyce
Song: I'm A Woman from Smokey Joe's Cafe
Thoughts:
They did a great job with Tyce's crap. It was steamy!
Note Worth Move:
Major wardrobe malfunctions! The front of Chelsie's dress got stuck in the back of Mark's suspenders and she had to yank it out. Mark's suspenders kept falling down. I felt sorry for him.
Judges: Nigel calls it hotter than Vegas! Mary calls it sultry, sexy and bluesy. Mia says it was a success but said it showed Mark's lack of training and Chelsie needed to move more. Bitch better watch herself!
Number: 1-888-83676-01


Pair: Comfort Fedoke & Thayne Jasperson
Style: Contemporary

Choreographer(s):
Mandy Moore
Song: A Different Corner by George Michael
Thoughts: It was okay. I didn't really think that Comfort gave it her all. Thayne did but he always seems to. I don't think Comfort likes Thayne.
Note Worth Move: Comfort rolled herself into a pretty stunning lift.

Judges: Nigel would have liked to see a different couple dance it. Mary didn't believe it. Mia says that Comfort can only fake it so much but thinks Thayne is brilliant and so do I!
Number: 1-888-83676-02

Pair:
Jessica King & William Wingfield
Style:
Quickstep
Choreographer(s):
Tony Meredith and Melanie La Patin
Song:
Bandstand Boogie by Barry Manilow
Thoughts: The actual quicksteps moves were not good. The judges will love it.
Note Worth Move:
Will opens the number with about 50 back flips.
Judges: Nigel thinks everything was great except for the Quickstep part. Mary picks on Will's jacket. Mia is sad and says Will looks tired of carrying her and says he needs a new partner. SLAM! They keep on telling Jessica that she needs more confidence and then they slam her face into the ground. Poor girl.
Number: 1-888-83676-03

Pair: Courtney Galiano & Gev Manoukian
Style: Jazz

Choreographer(s):
Mandy Moore
Song: Standing There by The Creatures
Thoughts: Another outstanding routine! I love them and I love Mandy Moore.
Note Worth Move: Courtney flips Gev by his neck.

Judges: Nigel thought it was a bit of fun. Mary thought it was rough and raw and loved it. Mia says they had a great night tonight. She calls them one of her top couples.
Number: 1-888-83676-04

Keep politics away from my dancing...especially the Crypt Keeper!

Pair:
Kherington Payne & Twitch
Style: Smooth Tango

Choreographer(s): Alex de Silva
Song: Assassin's Tango from that horrible movie Mr. and Mrs. Smith YUCK!
Thoughts: It seemed forsed just like the movie! In my book, they nailed it! HA-HA! I didn't really like it. This wasn't their night.
Note Worth Move:
Kherrington did a handstand into a over the back lift.
Judges: Nigel says it wasn't honest and that Twitch look uncomfortable and calls it his worse. Kherrington didn't have the passion. Mary loved the begining and the end but not the middle. Mia didn't think they were committed to the number.
Number: 1-888-83676-05

commercial

Pair: Katee Shean & Joshua Allen
Style: Bollywood

Choreographer(s):
Nakul Dev Mahajan
Song: Dhoom Taana from Om Shanti Om (Soundtrack)
Thoughts:
That was fun and a nice change. From the Indian videos I've seen, they did a pretty good job.
Note Worth Move: They didn't really nail the knee spins and I hope they didn't accidentally throw a gang sign.
Judges: Nigel babbles on a bit too long. Mary does some math and Mia
Number: 1-888-83676-06

I'm still cleaning up my drool caused by the return of...PASHA!!! I would scream like Mary Murphy if that wasn't so damn annoying.

Why don't you like Tyce? I dig him. I didn't see the big deal about that Adam and Eve routine either, though.

Mark keeps getting hotter. He reminded me of Stanley Kowalski on that Broadway routine. He could slap me around any day. :)

Your writing makes me wish I had watched this. Maybe we'll get it later.
