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.

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.

Kathryn was amazing. She murdered that piece.

Oh, yeah. As good as Legacy was, she was so much better, and completely sold it.

Loved the Travis piece--both Ellanore and Ryan were terrific in it! Also loved Russell and Noelle's foxtrot. She was beautiful and he was wonderfully controlled and actually looked like he was enjoying himself (I'm thinking of Kevin's look of fear last week).

Mollee and Nathan are both getting completely outdanced in this competition, and should be out soon if it weren't for those darn kids and their text messages.

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?

You know, I want to like Channing, but I don't. I don't really know why. Same with Victor.

Mollee drives me nuts. I want her gone gone gone. Nathan doesn't bug as much as Mollee, but he can be gone, too, and that wouldn't bother me.

I adore Jakob and Russell. I also really like Ellenore, Kathryn, and Noelle. Ryan is growing on me.

I even like Ashleigh. There. I said it. I think she's gotten a lot better since her over-acted audition and I like her.

It's sad, it doesn't look like Kevin's having fun, he's so afraid that he's going to mess up. He was terrific in the little character moments though.

I realized my problem with much of this season is I don't feel any chemistry between the dancers, except for Kathryn and Legacy. There are other couples I like, but they don't seem like partners.

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

Since I think Kevin is a goner this week, I started thinking about who they could put Karen with should they want to save her. Kick off Mollee and end up with Nathan/Karen? NO! Kick off Channing and end up with Victor/Karen? Maybe, but he's so young in presentation. What other girl might be up? Noelle? A Russell/Karen match-up might be ok, not sure.

Channing, unfortunately, is personality free. That's her main problem for me.

don't know if this is real, but either way, it's funny.

Okay, lots of excellent commentary and critique last night. How much do I adore Adam Shankman!? To Nathan and Mollee, especially. I also loved what Nigel said about Ellenore - how the choreographers all say she's one of the sharpest tools in the box. (I have a real thing for intelligent dancers.) And Legacy with the always practicing? Love!

I thought Legacy and Kathryn stole the night - even given the praise that went to the Travis piece. Her power and passion, when she was just criticized for being too cute the week before! His, um, bare torso! And command! I too would like to be in his navy!

I think Kevin is most likely to go home, and deservedly so. There is just an incredible depth of male talent on display this season. For the girls, it depends who ends up in B3. I wouldn't call Channing, Karen, Noelle, or Mollee safe at this point.

Nor would I be sad about any of them going home.
