I'm ready!! Let's go!

All the dancers dance with all the other dancer tonight. I heard that the guys dance a Russian Street Dance. OH NO! I forgot the Vodka!

Cat is looking all Egyptian tonight.

I still think Mark should be on the show tonight.

The guest judge is Mandy Moore!!!

Up first are Courtney and Twitch dancing Hip Hop by NappyTabs to Church by T-Pain. I thought that was fun and well danced. I thought there was too much story in the beginning and not enough dancing but then they danced it up. I don't think the lift/spin with Courtney on his head looked all the great but I hadn't seen that before so that was good. I'm not jumping out of my seat or anything but it was okay. Mandy calls it awesome and says way to start it out. Mary calls it a knock out and screams. Nigel says he's going to miss everyone and everything except Mary's scream. Maybe I'm just missing Mark too much.

Cat is interviewing the contestants before their solos tonight. Filler, Filler, Filler. I am so tired of the solos. Great! They are interviewing the judges too. That's a first. I doubt the judges will say anything harsh to the contestants. Mary makes Courtney cry. Nigel wants her to teach.

To vote for Courtney call 1-866-83676-01

Katee and Joshua are doing Contemporary by Wade!!!!! The song is Slow Dancing In A Burning Room by John Mayer. That, of course, was the bomb!!! Wade rocks and so do Katee and Joshua. It was touching and I got misty. Many calls it beautiful and welcomes Wade back. Mary thinks it beautiful as well. Nigel calls it remarkable and give Wade a tongue bath. He goes on to call them brilliant and two of the best dancers on the show.

Katee and Courtney are doing a Tyce Broadway routine. The song is The Trolley Song by Rufus Wainwright. Maybe it's my dislike of Tyce but I REALLY didn't like that. He could have done something sexy but no! The costumes contain more fabric then their entire outfits from the entire season and they weren't even cute. The horrible outfits did allow me to concentrate on the dancing. I think they danced it well enough even though one of them was off towards the end. It was regular Tyce, manic dancing and running around the stage. But maybe it's just me. Mandy calls it cute and the outfits adorable. Okay Mandy. Mary thinks they pulled it off. Nigel pimps Katee some more. I would have preferred a Jazz-type routine to I Kissed a Girl by Katy Perry. (If you haven't gotten her CD yet, you need too. It's fabulous!)

Twitch Filler. Twitch solo. Mandy calls him the little engine that could. Mary talks for awhile and then says she was speechless...I wish. Nigel likes his solos.
To vote for Twitch call 1-866-83676-02

Twitch and Joshua are doing Russian Something by Youri Nelzine. The song is Trepak which is Tchaikovsky's The Nutcracker Suite. Okay. That was OVER THE TOP goofy!!! I'm sorry but I just started laughing when they were skipping around the stage. That being said, I was definitely entertained. I do, however, think Joshua had AWESOME tricks and upstaged Twitch. I guess I'm wrong because all the judges were on their feet. Mandy calls it insane. Then the guys get into a jumping contest. Now I know why Joshua and Twitch were rushed to the hospital Monday after this routine. Mary gives it a standing scream. Nigel calls it memorable.

Katee filler. Katee solo. Mandy tells her to keep dancing and stay in ballet class. Mary says she has been tremendous. Nigel agrees with Mary and calls Katee brilliant.
To vote for Katee call 1-866-83676-03

Katee and Twitch are dancing the Foxtrot by Tony and Melanie. The song is Feeling Good by Michael Buble. That was nice. I wish it was Chelsie and Mark but that's my cross to bear. I think I'm going to have to put this below the Hip Hop and Russian Thing. I also thought Katee's dress was a little overbearing. Mandy calls it romantic and the lift was amazing. Mary thinks Twitch looks snappy and then she gets shrill and I tuned out. Nigel pimps Katee again. I thought they wanted either Joshua or Twitch to win?

Joshua Filler. Joshua solo. I think he blew Twitch out of the water again. Mandy thinks he's wonderful and, for the first time tonight, doesn't mention anything about taking addition dance classes. Mary says he deserves to be standing on that stage. Nigel makes a joke about stinky feet. He would HATE to smell mine!
To vote for Joshua call 1-866-83676-04

Did you catch that add for the new game show Hole in the Wall? In case you didn't, it's a show where people have to jump through a hole in a wall that is moving towards them. If they don't make it, they fall into a pool of what looks to be pee. I'm already laughing!

Joshua and Courtney are dancing the Jive by Jason Gilkison, G'day Mate! (I think they should have someone do the Hand Jive next year. Oh! And Dirty Dancing! That would rock.) The song is The Dirty Boogie by The Brian Setzer Orchestra. That was just plain mean to put that dance last. That was harder on Joshua then the Russian Thingy. I don't know about this one. I'm not sure where to place it. It was WAY hard but kinda sloppy. I think I'll have it tie with the Foxtrot. Mandy says Holy Moley! Mary babbles about how that was. Nigel gives that first bad review of the night.

All of them are dancing a Contemporary routine by Mia. The song is Hallelujah by The Vitamin String Quartet (maybe now I'll remember to look them up on iTunes). That was pretty good. I'll call it second best of the night. I would have liked more joy and less running around and tricks. I was feeling it but only at the very end. Mandy calls it magical and amazing. Mary is wearing on my nerves. Nigel takes a page from Mary's book and babbles on a bit too long for my taste.

Here are my power rankings:
Katee and Joshua - Contemporary
All Four - Contemporary
Courtney and Twitch - Hip Hop TIE Joshua and Twitch - Russian Thingy
Katee and Twitch - Foxtrot TIE Joshua and Courtney - Jive
Katee and Courtney - Broadway

What do you think?

Good evening all! Hubby is being kind enough to let me post LIVE. But I'm just doing highlights.

1. I LOVED the opening number by Mandy Moore. I couldn't take my eyes off of Mark and Chelsie.

2. The winner is going to be in an Adam Shankman movie! Cool!

3. Nigel is just a big softy.

4. I'm VERY tired of the solos.

5. Why did they have that little kid on? He was good but not that good. But Cat is adorable!

6. Katee is the first girl in the finale.

7. The first guy in the finale Joshua.

8. Exactly what the hell is Lady Gaga? Can anyone tell me? And why is she wearing Cher's outfit from the 80's?

9. The second girl in the finale is Courtney!!! WOW!!! I cried!

10. The second guy in the finale is Twitch!!!!!!!! SON OF A B*****!!!! WHAT A CROCK!!! Mark was 1,000 times better than Twitch. Wait a second. I sound like all those people who were mad when Will was sent home. I guess that's the way the cookie crumbles.

The events of tonight make things MUCH easier for me next week. I already know who I will be voting for...Joshua. No, I don't think I should wait until I see the show next week. It's America's Favorite Dancer and he's my favorite of the people left. It's simple.

Who's your favorite?

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.
Number: 1-888-83676-01

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!

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.

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.

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.

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

They want Jessica, Thayne and Comfort gone.

I got a little tired at the end.

I wish that Comfort and Jessica would go home tomorrow but they won't do that. I think it will be Thayne and Jessica going home.

Who are your picks?

I just found out that my husband will be coming home early tonight. Normally that's a really good thing but not on Dance night! He's going to make fun of everything...turd!

BTW - not a big winner.

Anyway, on with the show!

I'm not sure what in the hell Cat is wearing tonight! If it was red, I would have thought she was going for the naughty elf look.

The only thing that makes me dislike a person faster than if they talk about themselves in the third person (Celine Dion, I'm looking at you) is if they wear a shirt with their name on it...and point it out. This is at least the third time that Will has done that. That's okay, I don't really like him any way.

NappyTabs is/are the guest judge(s) tonight.

I'm skipping the background nugget tonight since they really aren't going to have anything. 14 dances in two hours!!!

Pair: Jessica King & William Wingfield
Style: Jive
Choreographer(s): Tony Meredith and Melanie LaPatin
Song: Choo Choo Ch'Boogie from Five Guys Named Moe
Thoughts: Guess what, I didn't like it. I think Jessica is holding Will back. She seemed to make a ton of mistake tonight. They may be in danger tonight since this dance sucked and they are first.
Note Worth Move: They did a cool thing where Jessica went on Will's back and then curled up in between his legs and ended standing up. That made my jaw drop for a second.
Judges: Let's see how the pimping goes. Tab decides to relive the past. Nappy liked the cool lift too. Mary doesn't pimp them and says they missed a lot of stuff. Nigel liked Will's bounce but didn't like Jessica's. They want Jessica to go away.

Pair: Comfort Fedoke & Thayne Jasperson
Style: Broadway
Choreographer(s): Andy Blankenbuehler
Song: Cool by Bernstein and Sondheim
Thoughts: Can I just say that I LOVED it! I thought I didn't like Broadway, turns out I just don't like Tyce doing Broadway. This Andy dude is awesome. I thought it was hot and sexy. It seemed to suit Thayne better but Comfort held her own and look hot as well!
Note Worth Move: They did this under-the-arm-with-the-leg-and-back move that was very sexy and fluid and hot.
Judges: Tab thinks it's a good match and was loving it. Nappy liked to move I liked too...again! Mary enjoyed it and is proud of Comfort. Nigel says it wasn't good enough. BOO!!!!
Number: 1-888-83676-02

Pair: Kourtni Lind & Matt Dorame
Style: Hip Hop
Choreographer(s): Cecily & Olisa
Song: How Do I Breathe by Mario
Thoughts: They don't want Jessica gone, they want Matt and Kourtni gone. I mean Hip Hop?!? Come on! If they were going to have them do Hip Hop, they could have at least given them a fighting chance and had NappyTabs do it. I'm not sure what Cecily and Olisa have done besides this show but they should stick to that. That sucked.
Note Worth Move: everything was boring and seemed too slow
Judges: Tab tries to be nice. Nappy says it's not good enough. Mary doesn't think it happened. Nigel doesn't know if it's the choreography or the dancers but he didn't like it.
Number: 1-888-83676-03

commercial

Pair: Chelsie Hightower & Mark Kanemura
Style: Jazz
Choreographer(s): Mandy Moore
Song: Kiss Kiss by Holly Vance
Thoughts: That was great! I loved it because I love them and Mandy Moore. It was a fun routine and I'll be adding that song to my iTunes tomorrow! Mark gets hotter every show.
Note Worth Move: Quick hand moves and lots of kissing.
Judges: Tab says they are able to tell whatever story they are given and Nappy agrees. Mary screams and says she just loved it! Nigel says it just worked and that they had a connection and calls them magic together. I agree!
Number: 1-888-83676-04

Pair: Kherington Payne & Twitch
Style: Paso Doble
Choreographer(s): Tony Meredith and Melanie LaPatin
Song: Malaguena by Brian Setzer
Thoughts: I thought it was pretty good at first and then I thought I was just getting caught up in the music and the lighting. I don't know. They have plenty of fans and will not be in the bottom three.
Note Worth Move: Kherrington was on Twitch's shoulders...again.
Judges: Nappy and Tab both think Twitch came into character half way through but Kherrington had it all the way. Mary calls it full of passion but just okay. Nigel was entertained but doesn't think Twitch held up his end.
Number: 1-888-83676-05

commercial

Pair: Katee Shean & Joshua Allen
Style: Contemporary
Choreographer(s): Mia Michaels
Song: Hometown Glory by Adale
Thoughts: Contemporary sometimes confuses me and this was one of those times. It seems like it should have been sad but it didn't make me sad. I watched it twice and thought that Katee was better but that Joshua held his own.
Note Worth Move: Still unsure about this one.
Judges: Tab says they owned it. Nappy says it told a great story and loved the assisted run. Mary says they haven't messed up one time. Nigel says it was fancy and history making.
Number: 1-888-83676-06

Pair: Courtney Galiano & Gev Manoukian
Style: Hip Hop
Choreographer(s): Cecily & Olisa
Song: Lights, Camera, Action! by Mr. Cheeks
Thoughts: The rumors were true and Courtney did a better job then Gev. I still like these two and will still be voting for them but I hope they do better on their next dance.
Note Worth Move: Courtney had some sick poppin' at the end...or it could have been lockin'...or maybe even breakin'. I don't know but I liked it.
Judges: Nappy calls Courtney ghetto and doesn't think Gev kept up with her. Tab calls some of the move bouncy. Mary is feeling it 50-50. She doesn't think Gev hit it hard enough and that Courtney killed it. Nigel calls it fun and funky but not really hip hop. I think it was the crappy choreography. I can't believe I'm about to say this...they should bring Dan Karaty back.
Number: 1-888-83676-07

commercial

Pair: Jessica King & William Wingfield
Style: Lyrical Jazz
Choreographer(s): Mandy Moore
Song: Alone by Heart
Thoughts: This was better then their first dance. I would have preferred a little more mystery to whether or not the couple was going to have sex but that might be just me. I'm sure plenty of people will vote for them just because Will was shirtless.
Note Worth Move: They did a lot of things with a shirt.
Judges: Tab tells Will to keep his shirt off. Nappy tells Will he can fly to the top of the competition. Jessica gets smashed again. Mary calls it fire and screams. Mary missed the memo about bashing Jessica and instead, puts them on the Hot Tamale Train. Nigel continues with the pimping of Will and the bashing of Jessica.
Number: 1-888-83676-01

Pair: Comfort Fedoke & Thayne Jasperson
Style: Smooth Waltz
Choreographer(s): Edward Simon (new dude)
Song: Hov Arek Sare Jan by New Age Armenia
Thoughts: This was great as well, actually better then the fist dance IMO. I bought the story hook line and sinker. I didn't cry at the end but I did get a little misty.
Note Worth Move: Comfort was on his shoulders while he was turning. Then he lifted her above his head and continued to turn. He THEN brought her down and held her while he continued to turn.
Judges: Nappy says he really enjoyed it. Tab says Comfort looked like an angel. Mary loved it. Nigel loved the lift too.

Pair: Kourtni Lind & Matt Dorame
Style: Mambo
Choreographer(s): Alex de Silva
Song: Ban-Con-Tim by Super All-Star
Thoughts: They really want Matt and Kourtni gone. Did you see that long lift? Kourtni isn't big by any one's definition but she's not 5 foot nothing and 80 pounds. It was better then the hip hop but they are in trouble which sucks!
Note Worth Move: way too long of a lift at the beginning.
Judges: Tab tries to be nice again. Nappy says it was too smiley. Mary calls Kourtni hot but Matt not. Nigel says it has to be stronger and then yells at the audience for booing.
Number: 1-888-83676-03

Pair: Chelsie Hightower & Mark Kanemura
Style: Foxtrot
Choreographer(s): Edward Simon
Song: It's My Life by Paul Anka (cover of Bon Jovi song)
Thoughts: It started out kinda of boring but it really picked up at the end with all the lift and the final set of moves was amazing. They're safe. Also, I love quirky covers and I'll be adding that song to my iTunes tomorrow too!
Note Worth Move: she flipped over top of him.
Judges: Tab points out that Chelsie had a feather in her mouth for quite a bit of the routine and she didn't let it affect her. They showed a close-up and it was hysterical! Nappy says they loove like they love to dance and love to dance with each other. Mary says they pulled it off and calls it classy. Nigel didn't think Mark was very good. Mary then yells at Nigel...a lot.
Number: 1-888-83676-04

Pair: Kherington Payne & Twitch
Style: Contempory
Choreographer(s): Mia Michaels
Song: Dreaming With A Broken Heart by John Mayer
Thoughts: I'm misty again. That was pretty good. In fact, I'd call it the best of the night. One thing, too many roses.
Note Worth Move: used a bed...and too many roses.
Judges: Tab calls it awesome, awesome, awesome, awesome! Nappy says it had so many amazing moments. Mary screams and says Mia out did herself. Nigel made me laugh!!

Pair: Katee Shean & Joshua Allen

Choreographer(s): Benji Schwimmer, Lacey Schwimmer and Patty (I didn't find a website for Patty)
Song: Shake It by Brother Yusef
Thoughts: That kinda sucked. The music was too slow and there wasn't enough energy. They missed some moves too.
Note Worth Move: she hip bumped him across the stage.
Judges: Tab says that Katee was great. Nappy calls Joshua a giant peppermint. Mary enjoyed it. Nigel says they adapted to the style. And so the pimping of Joshua continues.
Number: 1-888-83676-06

Pair: Courtney Galiano & Gev Manoukian
Style: Broadway
Choreographer(s): Andy Blankenbuehler
Song: New York, New York by Bernstein, Comden and Green
Thoughts: That wasn't too bad but not as good as the first Broadway routine tonight. I thin they wil be safe anyway.
Note Worth Move: cute fall at the end.
Judges: Tab believed them. Nappy says Gev found his nitche. Mary thought it was great and strong and believe. Nigel cals them tiny underdogs and says that this style is perfect for them...the tiny people.
Number: 1-888-83676-07

Another great show. They really want Jessica, Kourtni and Matt gone.

Who are your picks?

I'm not sure how they are going to top last week but they have to. We still have a loooooong way to go!

Cat is looking fabulous as always in a little black number with furry stuff on the bottom. All the dancers tried to touch the furry stuff while Cat ran saying "No, no, no"! Holy crap! Cat is introducing the judges and Mia has gone shockingly blond while Mary has stuffed herself ala Paula Abdul into a leopard print dress that a woman her age shouldn't even look at much less wear. Oh! And she also raided Wilma Flintstone's jewelry box for the two necklaces she's wearing. Nigel went out on a limb and is wearing a pink shirt.

Cat asks Mia how she thought the dancers did last week and Mia makes up a word...Banoodles. Which means insane. I'll use it in a sentence: Mia Michaels is banoodles.

This week the dancers are going to be telling us what their partner's best and worst characteristics are. If you were a tree, what kind of tree would you be.

Pair: Chelsea Traille & Thayne Jasperson
Style: Jazz
Choreographer(s): Mandy Moore!!!!!
Song: Untouched by The Veronicas
Background Nugget: Thane is superstitious and Chelsea over sleeps.
Thoughts: It was about a king and his forbidden love. I will have to say that it was not my favorite Mandy Moore routine by a mile. I'm not sure what happened. It had some nice parts but a lot of it seems disjointed. Maybe it was just me.
Note Worth Move: Nothing that made me go "WOW"
Judges: Mia saw what I saw and said it better than I did. Mary doesn't like it and didn't believe it. Nigel agrees with Mia and Mary. He also doesn't like the outfits and proceeds to bash them...the outfits that is. Although he is hard on the dancers as well.

Thoughts: That was much better than the first dance. There was a lot of fancy foot work and Mark was pretty steamy. I do think they missed a lift towards the end but I'm not positive. (Chelsie's pinkie toe came out of her shoe so Cat got down, undid her shoe and fixed it!)
Note Worth Move: TONS of fancy footwork.
Judges: Mia is in love with them and calls it fantastical. Mary loved it and says it was on point. Nigel would have liked it a little sleazier but good job.

Pair: Jessica King & William Wingfield
Style: Hip Hop
Choreographer(s): Cecily & Olisa
Song: Whatever U Like by Nicole Scherzinger
Background Nugget: Jessica has inner turmoil. William is too serious.
Thoughts: hummmmm. I'm not sure what to think about that. I don't know if I didn't like it because I really don't like them or if I didn't like it because it was good. It didn't seem to hit hard enough for me. GREAT! Now I sound like Dan Karaty! YUCK!
Note Worth Move: Nothing.
Judges: Mia called Jessica a cheerleader and basically calls Will a dance god. Mary agrees with Mia. Jessica = bad. Will = god. Nigel thinks that Jessica did a really good job and predicts that Will will be in the final four. I hope not. I guess I didn't like it because I don't like them.

Pair: Kourtni Lind & Matt Dorame
Style: Foxtrot
Choreographer(s): Jean-Marc Genereux (his daughter has Rett Syndrome)
Song: A Foggy Day (In London Town) by Michael Buble
Background Nugget: Kourtni has the best eyes. Matt is a bad singer. I think Matt looks like Doug.
Thoughts: I really liked it! I smiled the entire time. It was graceful and light. They really made it look easy. I like these two. They are actually normal sized people.
Note Worth Move: Kourtni fell straight back and Matt caught her head when it was only about a foot or two from the floor!
Judges: Mia said it was great old Hollywood and thought Matt was great. Mary loved the choreography but calls the rest a mixed bag and is disappointed. Nigel, however, is not disappointed. He comes very close to calling Kourtni fat then pulls it back and says it because she's tall.

Pair: Courtney Galiano & Gev Manoukian
Style: Contempory
Choreographer(s): Mandy Moore
Song: Lost by Anouk
Background Nugget: Courtney is pretty but has a boyfriend. Gev is strong but kinda short.
Thoughts: Loved it! It was pretty hot and they danced it well. I'll be voting for them!
Note Worth Move: Lots of cool lifts.
Judges: Mia loved the choreography. She thinks that Courtney jazzed it but she was proud of Gev. Mary loved it and screams! (I can't stand her outfit.) Nigel thought they dances it well but didn't believe the emotion. Cat calls them the cutest little pocket couple. I love Cat.

Pair: Katee Shean & Joshua Allen
Style: Broadway
Choreographer(s): Tyce Diorio
Song: All For The Best from Godspell
Background Nugget: Katee does a stupid dance when she wants to be funny. Joshua nit picks.
Thoughts: Bummer. I didn't really care for it all that much but Nigel LOVED it. He was out of his chair and dancing around before Cat asked him a thing. I'm not big on Broadway.
Note Worth Move: Nothing, just lots of running around and Jazz Hands.
Judges: "That''s what I've been waiting for all night!" said Nigel. He calls it entertainment at it's best. Mary screams and loved every second. Mia calls it amazing.

Pair: Susie Garcia & Marquis Cunningham
Style: Salsa
Choreographer(s): Alex de Silva
Song: Aguanile by Willie Colon & Hector Lavoe
Background Nugget: Susie has lots of energy and dangerous hair. Marquis is a goofball and always eats.
Thoughts: I kind of feel sorry for Slutty...I mean Susie. Alex slammed her with his comment: "She's not a Salsa dancer, she's a street dancer." Oh no he didn't! I didn't think they really got it. Marquis seemed to do better than Susie. Her outfit didn't help her at all either but, then again, that's nothing new.
Note Worth Move: She was on his shoulders and then he smacked her leg and spun her around his head.
Judges: Mia wasn't crazy about the performance and expected more from Susie. Mary says it isn't working for her either. Nigel says it should have been fiery and that there were many things wrong with it.

Pair: Kherington Payne & Twitch
Style: Viennese Waltz
Choreographer(s): Jean-Marc Genereux
Song: A New Day Has Come by Celine Dion
Background Nugget: Twitch wears frames. Kherington kicks him. They talked about Jean-Marc's daughter and how this dance is for her. (For more info, see link above.)
Thoughts: If you know me, you know that I hate me some Celine Dion so this is a strike against them before they make a move. Well, it was pretty good but the lifts seemed shaky. It was also pretty. The outfits were great and Kherrington looked beautiful!
Note Worth Move: Shaky lifts, to me any way.
Judges: Mia thanks Jean-Marc. Mia didn't like Kherrington smiling the whole time. Nigel steps in and calls Kherrington beautiful. Then they talk about Jean-Marc's daughter and everyone starts crying...including me. Mary is a mess and cries. Nigel gives has a history lesson on the Viennese Waltz. After ten minutes of that, he called in beautiful and amazing.

Pair: Comfort Fedoke & Chris Jarosz
Style: Krump
Choreographer(s): Lil'C
Song: Come an Get Me by Timbaland
Background Nugget: Comfort is versatile and a fast talker. Chris is humble and sweaty.
Thoughts: It was okay but nothing special. She was way better then he was but that was expected. The music was annoying! There was so much cut out of it due to language that it was distracting.
Note Worth Move: Nothing
Judges: Guess what? Mia loved the choreography! I'm shocked. She loves Comfort and thinks the Chris pulled it off. Mary thought that Comfort could have hit it harder but she blow Chris away. Nigel says his Granny is more gangster than Chris. He even goes so far to stand up and grabs his junk. Nigel expected more from Comfort.

Overall, this show was not as good as last week. Putting them in order is a little harder this week.

Top:
Chelsie Hightower & Mark Kanemura

Really Good:
Courtney Galiano & Gev Manoukian
Kourtni Lind & Matt Dorame
Kherington Payne & Twitch

Good:
Katee and Joshua

Not so good:
Chelsea Traille & Thayne Jasperson
Comfort Fedoke & Chris Jarosz
Susie Garcia & Marquis Cunningham
Jessica King & William Wingfield

I think it will be Marquis and the Slutty teacher going home tomorrow.

One more thing, I was thinking about writing less this week but I kind like this format so I think I'll stick with it. I don't have a life anyway so it's not taking me away from anything important.

(Before the show, I was over at The Pop Eye and BeckEye posted an old video of Leo Sayer singing "You Make Me Feel Like Dancing", hence the title of this blog!)
