I voted for the first time ever.
the crowd chanting Evan was so odd to me.
This is my boat. They're part of my crew. No one's getting left. Best you get used to that.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
Ugh. I am so scared that Evan is going to win.
I would be happy with either Brandon or Jeanine, who I thought really brought it tonight, but Ugh.
Even though Brandon and Kayla were amazing. I thought Bye Bye Love was not a good dance for two people. It needed more people, especially on that big a stage.
I am about to vote for the first time too.

Just saw the paso and if one of those two don't take this I may cry. I think Jeanine was a little too strong and not quite "capey" enough, which was not helped by the fact that she was in the same color as Brandon, but I think that was the most paso of any paso doble they've had on this show.

You need to be. I'm convinced he is going to win. Much to my own terror.

I just tried to vote for Brandon a few times and each time the line was busy. No problem for Jeanine.
I can't believe I'm actually calling in to one of these shows.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."
I am really pulling for Jeanine. That solo was fabulous. I could not believe those pirouettes.
I love this episode for the ability to see everyone against each other. It makes it all so interesting. Brandon definitely outshone Evan, but as expected, and I think Evan actually did tolerably well. He just isn't a superior dancer at this point. I don't know if the criticism will backfire, though, by firing up his voting fanbase.
It was closer between the women, but I thought Jeanine outdanced Kayla. But it may just be my personal preferences. I just never bought what Kayla was selling. I think she's a lovely dancer, and she obviously has amazing extensions. But I agree with the comment about lack of connection, which I think is fairly common among dancers.
Anyway, I'll be good if either Brandon or Jeanine take it.

Jeanine is a lead twitter topic though, could be a good sign if all those fools vote.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Oh, in Vegas, I suppose.
Yep!

He totally should have gone with a sorbet and the almond brittle all made by himself.
Definitely. Although given how much luck contestants seem to have with the TC freezers, I might have avoided frozen desert altogether.

yeah- there was so much that could have been done with the fresh fruits. Buying rice milk ice cream was such a huge misfire in terms of strategy as well as execution. Art was a little out of his depth, I think.
Re: scenes from next week: I hope that Chiarello did something that justified Dale's hissy fit. Because I like Dale and I do not like Chiarello.
My money is on Bayliss to take this competition.
