( continues...) technique, is his total commitment in every piece he dances. He embraced the cheese. He was the cheese. I still want Jessica gone.
Kourtni and Matt – Oh my. The guest choreographer is insane. She looks like the lead singer from Bow Wow Wow. Super interesting choreo. Total commitment to the dance. I really, really liked that. I thought they danced incredibly well. The costumes sucked ass, but that’s my only dig. Still, somehow, not really caring about this couple. They’re very pretty dancers, but they’re not stars, no?
Thayne and Chelsea - Chelsea just did the Martha shoulder shake. I hated it when Martha did it then and I hate it now. I hope that doesn’t mean she’s going to dance to Gwen Stefani in an old gramma hat for her elimination solo tomorrow night. Aww, this was vey bad, as quick step almost always is. I wish they’d stop having this style on the show because only Cam and Lacey from last season have ever really done it well. Their foot work is awful. There’s no flow around the floor. Thayne looks like a hopping chicken and Chelsea can’t hold her top line. Eeesh. Really, really bad. I definitely sense another trip to the B3.
Chelsie and Mark – I would be scared for these two, but I have seen Mark doing hip hop in his youtube videos and he is so good it’s scary. What? Of course I troll youtube for video of the dancers. Doesn’t everyone? I just adored that piece. They just smashed it. My, oh wow!! I always love Mark but Chelsea was a revelation in this. It was so good. I don’t even have any words. The show is on fire tonight. Crazy fire. I’m in love with this couple. That one move where she puts her arm out to the side and his head travels down to rest on her shoulder? Ridiculous. I wanna see that again right now. Lyrical hip hop is a great way to label that, with way more lyrical than hip hop. Totally my new favorite of the season. Tabitha and whatshisname are very hit or miss for me. They did the Josh/Katee hip hop, which I also adored, but then they haven’t done anything else I’ve liked. Again, again!
Joshua and Katee – Oh, Katee. Everyone can tell Joshua is a sweetheart. That’s not a secret, baby. Joshua’s secret about Katee was amusing, though. Ah, a true challenge for these two. Let’s see how they do. It was creditable and they are really cute and likeable together, so that goes a looong way. Ewwww. Nigel is really. . . oh god. The thing with the dad and the show me your culo? I am sooo uncomfortable right now. Back to the dancing, Katee was really good, better than Joshua but he held his own. Overpraised much? I thought Kourtni and Matt were much better. Points for degree of difficulty, maybe?
Top Three – Now and forever Chelsie and Mark. They can do no wrong in my book. I’ve gotta put my little love bunnies Courtney and Gev here, but that’s just because I like me some them. I actually think the other two here should be Kourtni and Matt who were technically flawless and Twitchington even though it pains me to type it and she still had that cheese eating grin pasted on the whole damn dance. I could also see an argument for Joshua and Katee here who were not technically brilliant but are just so darn likeable. (Katee likeable, what?)
Really, though, I loved the whole show tonight. I was tremendously entertained by the entire thing. Even the judges. Well, until Nigel started to sexually harass Joshua’s dad. He desperately needs an attitude adjustment.
Bottom Three – Well, Big Pasty and Comfort and Thayne and Chelsea are gimmes. The other one is really tough. Will and Jessica were actually not great, despite what the judges were selling, so it certainly could be them. I thought Kourtni and Matt danced really strongly tonight, but have to agree with Nigel that folks just might not get it – and they are hella boring. So it could easily be them, too. And I’m not sure that anyone else loves Courtney and Gev as much as I do, so they might also see B3 again this week.
