Because books.

That was AWFUL. Cutting up the song that way didn't help, either.

No, it was was so painful, I went and read a mocking review of Chris Pine's straight to video "Small Town Saturday Night." Much more interesting and it made me laugh for the right reasons.

I know I missed his season, but I really don't like Dominic at all. He seems entirely too in love with himself and the camera.

I guess Anya can't work miracles after all.

The guy/guy stuff has been cute tonight. I really wasn't overwhelmed by the baseball number but it was ok, and b-boy number was a little weird with the sword in the stone but danced well.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Hilariously, watching the baseball, I was thinking, Hey! Tyce does something that's not Fosse! ....And then Adam told me it was actually the other side of Fosse.

I loved Boogie Shoes!!

That is all.

Oh, that's not all, I just remembered the Travis Wall number. Which I had forgotten. Which is sad because it was so emotional. But I did forget it. Sad now.

So adorable! So easy. Not that the dance wasn't hard -- they just made it feel so light and fun. Good times.

Too bad he's such a douche, because he really is a great dancer. Also, he should spend less time on his hair.

Also, I love that they put Robert in a Travis outfit for that piece.

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.

Dominic is a skeevy douche. Also possibly the only one to give another contestant a concussion by dropping her on her head from an overhead lift during dress. Okay, they never said she got a concussion but I've gotten them from smaller impacts than that.

Boogie Shoes was probably one of my favorite numbers so far this season. So loose and breezy, and so much fun to watch.

The Travis Wall number was emotional, but I felt like I could see the anvil sitting over my head, waiting to drop. Yes, I get it--we're supposed to have our emotions heightened! I just felt manipulated at the end of it.

I'm hoping that Robert and Jose join Ashley this week. The late-in-the-week partner substitute on the disco number must have been hard for him, but he definitely lacked the weight that Mia talked about. Jose--honey, you're cute and give good angst face, but that dancing just wasn't there. As for the b-boy moves, I think you got dominated by Dominic.

Lauren did what she was supposed to in the Tahitian number (and I give the show props for trying out a new form of dance), and she nailed the Boogie Shoes number with Billy. Billy tried with the jive, but the dark pants meant that I couldn't see the leg movement as well as I would have liked, and I kept getting distracted by the horrible editing on the song.

Kent and Adechike had the best week, I think. Both of them did well with their all-star partners (and, yes, Tyce was ripping off Fosse yet again--big surprise!!). I really liked the samba with Anya that Adechike did, much more than I thought I would. Kent nailed that Broadway number. And their contemporary piece was the best of the night, better than Travis's, IMO.
