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 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.

I loved the music, it just wasn't good for a dance piece. The dancers were unfairly handicapped because Tasty wanted to be "edgy"

You will all appreciate my tragedy: Tivo got the first three dances, and then my mother changed the channel and watched some CSI or Law and Order type show (I was already in bed). I can't be angry at her, since she doesn't know about Tivo, and I didn't ask her not to watch TV or anything. I can, however, berate her terrible taste in television.

And then I tried to watch This Old House and got Spongebob instead. Ugh.

yeah you can. The tivo asked her if she wanted to stop recording to switch the channel, so there's no way that she didn't know that you were recording.

when i have guests in the house, I put the tivo on standby and make them use a regular remote. Saves a lot of hassle.
