I just think that if theyà ¢Ã¢â€š ¬Ã¢â€ž ¢re gonna cut one of the Kourtni/Matt partnership, theyà ¢Ã¢â€š ¬Ã¢â€ž ¢ll cut both.

Hmm, I agree. I think the only way for them to cut Matt before Kourtni is if we lose Chelsie or Kherington (from the line-up at the end of the show last night, it looks like only Twitch and Mark are tall enough to dance with Kourtni) the same week, which is obviously never going to happen. And none of the other girls are even remotely up to Kourtni’s height for them to be dancing with Matt, if they cut Kourtni before him. Chances are they’ll be cut at the same time…and I just hope like hell it won’t be today.

I dunno about the pool. I’m torn between my head and my heart here.

The judges gave Jessica those good comments after the 2nd dance, but they also said she was holding Will back. I DON’T think they want her on tour; however, as someone said in chat last night, I don’t think they’ll get rid of her unless there’s someone better to partner Will with. For that reason alone, she may make it through this week and get cut right before the partner-switching rounds, UNLESS by some ridiculously miraculous event Kourtni and Matt manage to be safe and the bottom 3 consists of Comfort/Thayne, Jessica/Will, and Courtney/Gev. In that case, they could kick Gev and Jessica off and put Will with Courtney, which could potentially be a good partnership. I just think that TPTB want Comfort on tour for demographic purposes, even though that will likely mean “saving” her for 4 weeks in a row, only for her to probably be the first girl eliminated once we get to the individual voting rounds at top 10.

At least that’s the hope I’m clinging to, because if they kick Kourtni off tonight, Matt’s going with her. Can you imagine him dancing with Comfort? She’s like, 4’11 or something. It’d be like watching David and Goliath dance. I could *maybe* see him dancing with Courtney, but I just think that if they’re gonna cut one of the Kourtni/Matt partnership, they’ll cut both.

But, anything can happen, I guess. So, who knows?

Hisaki – a big ditto on the Pasha & Sara WCS! That was fantastic. Although, I guess ità ¢Ã¢â€š ¬Ã¢â€ž ¢s unfair to compare a ballroom dancer doing WCS to a hip hopper doing it (even with Joshuaà ¢Ã¢â€š ¬Ã¢â€ž ¢s under cover training). But, in general I agree, last yearà ¢Ã¢â€š ¬Ã¢â€ž ¢s dance was better choreographed, danced better and it had a ton more energy.

No kidding. That is how it should be performed. It didn’t help that the pink was awful. But Sara was a B-girl, right? She really pulled it off. She was my fave last year.

So, back to who is going home tonight – well, I’m thinking it will be Matt and Kourtni, sad to say. Nigel hates Matt and he pretty much told Kourtni last week that she would be gone if she ends up in the bottom three again this week.

If that’s the case, I would guess that Courtney & Gev round out the bottom 3. And, I think that’s the only possibility that could ever save Matt tonight. Nigel hates Matt more than he hates Thayne. Nigel worships Will. But, Gev has been sort of disappointing. So, if that happens, and Matt can kick the solo’s ass again like he did last week – there’s a small chance he could stay tonight.

I of course will then lose all of my points in the pool, but I’m happy to make that sacrifice so my peeps can have another week of Matt.

Just another thing — I thought Manatee’s WCS was WAY overpraised. Maybe it’s just because I like Pasha & Sara’s WCS from last season a little too much than is healthy, but I thought Manatee’s WCS was really slow, and I didn’t like the choreography (sorry, Benji). Not to mention those hot pink outfits. Blech. (Hello, tomatoes. *dodges*)

Oh, and Nigel? You can suck it.

Thayne has shown he can get it done but someone has GOT to tape his mouth shut if he stays. I can still see that pumpkin head smile in my minds eye right this minute and it is just soooo annoying. I went back and watched Will, of the hott body too, and Jessicas shirt dance again and that Was really good and clever. Jessica is just not as fluid as Will but she was so much better this week.

Who knows, watch it be someone completely off the wall

I thought Twitch was really stiff or something on their routine. Kherington looked fine to me, but I didnà ¢Ã¢â€š ¬Ã¢â€ž ¢t think it was that great all in all, either.

I love Twitch more than is rational, but it was clear to me that he had no clue what he was doing in that Paso LOL. He was trying so hard to fake it, I just had to love him anyway.

I felt the same about Joshua in the WCS, and I love me some Josh. But, he was sloppy and slow and his usual glowing stage presense was missing for that dance. I do think however that they both were excellent in their contemporary routines.

I also believe that regardless of Twitch’s performances last night – his biceps and six pack would have redeemed him either way. I’m probably too old to be thinking this, but boy does he have one smokin’ hot bod.

In fairness, that was a really poor Paso Doble. The woman is supposed to be a cape, which I didnà ¢Ã¢â€š ¬Ã¢â€ž ¢t see at all with Kherington. Done well, IMO ità ¢Ã¢â€š ¬Ã¢â€ž ¢s one of the best, sexiest & most dramatic styles. This is how ità ¢Ã¢â€š ¬Ã¢â€ž ¢s meant to be done.

I didn’t like their paso doble either, and I usually really like Twitchington (although I’ve yet to watch all of their Mia routine because my mom insisted on calling me when all the good routines were on last night). I couldn’t help but have to compare their paso doble to T&H’s (which is still one of my fave perfomances of all time on the show). I thought Twitch was really stiff or something on their routine. Kherington looked fine to me, but I didn’t think it was that great all in all, either. It seems like their Mia contemporary saved them, though, so I’m not worried.

Does anyone know when they start mixing up couples?

Top 10. That means one more week (not counting this one) in which the couples all stick together like glue.

Will and Jessica’s shirt dance
Twitchington’s bed dance
Mark and Chelsie’s jazz

IMO, the 3 best dances of the night.

Does anyone know when they start mixing up couples?

Nigel, can we vote off Cicily and Olisa? Please???? Ugh, I canà ¢Ã¢â€š ¬Ã¢â€ž ¢t stand their choreography. I even prefer Dan Karatyà ¢Ã¢â€š ¬Ã¢â€ž ¢s choreography to theirs.

Amen sister!!! I wrote the same thing on my blog. I really can’t believe that I want Dan back. Cecily and Olisa need to go away! By far the worse routines of the night and maybe ever.

My other favorites of the night were Twichington’s contemporary (I agree that dance will be on the tour), Will and Jessica’s shirt number, Mark and Chelsie’s jazz, and Gev and Courtney’s Broadway. Unlike others, I didn’t like Comfort in the waltz much. She was just too stiff and looked like a mannequin. The lifts were gorgeous, though.

While I am looking forward to when they switch partners, I will be a little sad to see Joshua and Katee parted. They have great chemistry together and look like they were born to partner.

BOOO, too bad HAWTsie didnà ¢Ã¢â€š ¬Ã¢â€ž ¢t have kick-ass performances.

I second that. I actually missed the first hour of the show and have not seen their first performance yet, but I am convinced that it is thoroughly impossible to make the foxtrot exciting. I know lots of people have done the foxtrot in the past, but I can’t remember any of them. It’s plain and simply not a stimulating dance. They did a good job, I thought, but yeah, nothing to write home about. Chelsie’s horrible dress didn’t help either. They’ve been really lucky with the dances they’ve had so far…it was bound to happen at some point.

I’m now on board with Kourtni going home. I have changed my mind and now think they want Comfort for the tour (for demographics). They seemed to like Jessica a lot next week, so they’ll keep her until next week. I still think Perma Thmile is a goner, though. At least I hope he is. I’m tired of looking at him.
