Danger rangers:

Matt and Kourtni, Rayven and Jamie, and Jessica and Will, who Dan Karaty basically said did not belong in the bottom 3.

SYTYCD - I am loving this results show so far. Rock.

Some random musings:

Oh, Wade? You crazy genius! I have no words for the awesomeness of that routine. It was . . . wow.

Why is Cat wearing coffee filters? Maybe it’s a PR Michael original?

Can I see that Wade number again and again and again?

What’s up with the Bourne Identity camera work?

OK, Twitch and Kherington, Chelsie #1 and Thayne, Chelsie #2 and Mark. Who, oh who could be in danger? And then they brough the nice fake out. I was ready to be sad for Chelsie #2 and Mark.

I’m enjoying the group love vibe. They may hate each other IRL, but they give a good impression of a funky bunch.

Is it time for the Wade routine again? Courtney was turning it out, up, down, and around! Mo’ fiyah. Mo’ fiyah. Mo fiyah. (Oh, Cicely and Olissa, where have you gone?)

Kourtni and Matt. Well, they’re obviously B3. What is up with the funky sound mix tonight? Bad, bad production values.

Wow, the judges really lied to Marquis and Susie a lot last night. I’m kinda surprised they’re safe.

Aw, Joshua putting a bandage on Comfort. Those two are the cutest things ever. What the hell is Rayven wearing? Chris should be thanking his lucky stars he got paired with Comfort.

Why are we even spending time on Joshua and Katee? They killed. Just send them over to the safe zone.

C’mon Courtney and Gev. Then I’ll go three for three. But a sad three because I love them.

Wow. Did not see the Will/Jessica B3 coming at all. Well, let that be a lesson, judges, in the dangers of overpraising.

And what’s this? Featuring dancers rather than extraneous pop singers? Look at the show learning and growing. And these two are ridiculous. Good lord! How can that man still move like that? And why isn’t that skinny kid on the show right now? I loved that! Hooray, show.

I didn't think legs could do what the jello kid did.

I could really do without the Snuggle smooth grooves from the Kodak Theater. I hope we don’t have to see that all season.

Solo Time. Bring it, bitches.

Kourtni – Shaky, shaky on those turns and extensions. But it was clearly a well choreographed piece and after last year when so many of the girls got up there and just did whatever came on them, I appreciate that. And extra props for the angsty, acoustic version of I Wanna Dance with Somebody.

Matt – Beautiful dancer. Lovely technique. He has got to lose those nasty competition faces.

Rayven – She obviously doesn’t want to stay. WTF on the clown suit. I hate what she’s doing. If she was going to do hip hop ballet, why didn’t she do it on point? We’ve seen her on point before.

Jaime – Oh no you di’in’t! Dmitri and his barely there shirt own this song. I know Dmitri. You, sir, are no Dmitri.

Jessica – Is a very boring dancer. There’s no real spark there. She’s fine, I guess.

Will – I don’t even have any words. He was just heaven. So beautiful. I could watch that forever.

Easily would lose Jaime. And none of the girls really made an impression. I could let any of them go, but I do think that Rayven was the weakest tonight.

And I see Nicole Scherzinger is back with the PCD. Guess the solo career didn’t exactly work out. But PCD can dance. They should just be a dance group, maybe open up a theater, or a cabaret. Oh yeah, that's how this whole mess started.

I think Jaime and Jessica are goners. Maybe Rayven, dunno. But there's no way Matt or Will are leaving tonight.

amen. Very boring. that kind of dance should make your hips want to follow along. Not so much.

I love the way Will moved, but that tango was awful. I think he'll make it though

I hate to admit it, by I love the Pussycat dolls. they work damn hard, they don' lip synch their shit.

Where's the chick from the Next Pussycat Doll?

She was out of the group like a minute after the show finished.

Can't say I'm surprised to see Rayven and Jamie go. I do wish we could get Will away from Jessica. I would actually love to see him with Courtney or Chelsie #1 or 2.

Is it next Wednesday yet?

I hate missing the group number!

The group number kicked boot-ay! And in addition to Courtney killing it, Mark broke it the hell on down. I thought all the kids did a good job, but those two especially were insane. Mark is my total dark horse to take it all the way to the finale. He is just stunning.

so, was the show all a total fakeout, or did something happen with her?
