I'm excited to have a paso to look forward to because so far there's nothing worth keeping on the dvr.

I frikkin' love Travis Wall. He is the truth. The first two dances of the night were underwhelming, but since Russell/Noelle, the show has been on a serious roll. Ellanore, for the first time, I felt like I really saw her and saw what she can do. She was gorgeous. Legs forever, and the feet. I am dying over that toe point. And Nigel was totally on point about the ease of those lifts. Lighter than air, so smooth going in and going out. Ryan continues to surprise me. The child can't do hip hop, but he was just glorious here. His toe point as well, just. I didn't know he had it like that. All that said, that wasn't my favorite Travis piece. Jeanine/Jason still rules all. But that was very, very good. Quite lovely.

Was that Jaime (of Jaime and Hok) choreographing with Travis?

"We have trust issues." Mylar

It was Jamie (of Jamie and Hok). She trained at Travis' mom's studio with Travis and Danny. They have danced together for many, many years.

Was I watching the same Nathan/Mollee routine that the judges were? They did not bring it the way that BoomKat wanted it to be broughten, I know. Just not sharp enough, not hard enough. Out of synch in many, many places. They have no chemistry, so Shankdaddy asking them for chemistry is an impossibility. I know they wanted BoomKat to put the fear of god into them and dig some depth out of them, but . . . no. It just did not happen. And the judges twisting themselves into knots to prop these kids. I don't get it. Bleagh. They both sucked ass. I'd send them both home this week. And I'm completely over Nathan. Potential means nothing if you can't deliver.

Hmm, I'd bet Kevin will go home for the boys this week. With Legacy and Russell killing it, he's the expendable hip hop boy. The girls are tougher. Nigel doesn't want to let go of Karen and he has a hard on for Channing, so she probably won't go anywhere. Mollee Should be going home, but due to the ridiculous propping, I think they may not even hit B3 this week. And all the other girls were very, very good this week. So, hmmm, maybe Nigel will cut Karen loose on the thought that she'll never appeal to the young kids set on account of how "sexual" she is. Or maybe he'll get over waiting for Channing to grow a personality if V/C hit B3. It's a tough one.

That man was going to shank me. Over an omelette. Two eggs and a slice of government cheese. Is that what my life is worth?

Should Go Home: Mollee, Kevin
Will Go Home: Karen, Kevin

Yep and yep. That's my feeling as well.

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb

I agree with just about everything y'all wrote. Did not get the love the judges had for the Nathan/Mollee routine, unless they are going for reverse psychology to lull the teeny-boppers into thinking all is ok and maybe getting them to throw votes elsewhere.

I could not get into the Victor/Channing and totally understood Shankman's comment about the music keeping him out of it. Also? found Tyce so so so annoying in the video of rehearsals. Dude, you are not a badass and hard, you put on thet over done accent shtick and it is old. shut it.

I love Ellenore and Kathryn and Russell and Jakob. I am ready for Mollee, Nathan, Channing, and Kevin to go.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Russell getting Foxtrot again is some bullshit.

That was totally supposed to me my third comment!

Yeah, I thought that the movement was really good, but the lyricality of the movement was lost with the music. It would have been better if there had been no music at all, because at least then you could have supplied your own.

I appreciate what McFerrin was trying to do with "Blackbird", but I concur: I think it was the wrong music for that particular routine.
