I think somebody decided that after last week Legacy can never wear a shirt again.

Not that I *mind*...

Okay, I think can-can needs to go in the bin with Russian folk dance.

Thrive to spite them

I wasn't so impressed by the cha cha, I think it's Ashliegh, she leaves me cold. Technically good but just not exciting to watch.

Legacy and Kathryn, their waltz had issues but there was such a connection and it felt so real.

I would really like to see Legacy and Ellanore together. I think that would be a good partnership.

I want Jakob and Ellanore together.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Ellenore and Victor would be the cutest.

But maybe that's just me.

I think Victor is adorable. Not the best dancer of the bunch, but adorable.

So much for that post--cat just walked across the keyboard and zapped it.

Anyway, as I was saying, loved the tango the first time I watched it, but after Nigel pointed out the swayed back on Victor, I can't pay attention to anything else on rewatch.

Such a good week! I think I counted at least five or six dances I'll be putting on my best-of disc at the end of the season.

Loved Ryan and Ellanore's dances. That Lindy hop was a blast, and the Broadway number was perfect for her. Also loved both of Jakob and Ashleigh's numbers. She really ruled that cha-cha (although she played to the camera waaaay too much), and Sonja's number was terrific.

Jakob is a perfect counterpart to this summer's blonde technically perfect but unable to connect with the audience contestant whose name I am currently blanking on, because he is also technically perfect, but he can really project charisma and chemistry.

Hate to say it, but Russell and Noelle didn't do too much for me today. What is the problem most dancers have with the samba on this show? It's up there with the Dreaded Quickstep in unsuccessful performances. Their contemporary piece was good, but rather forgettable.

Legacy and Kathryn's jazz number was much better (thank you for shirtless Legacy!!!). And, he did better with that waltz than I was expecting--I was thinking along the lines of Chbeeb debacle.

Molly and Nathan--eh.

Bottom three (for me): Molly and Nathan, Victor and Karen (did not really like the hip hop and his back is annoying me in the tango), and (hate to say it!) Russell and Noelle. I hope that Molly and Nathan are gone after tomorrow.
