'Til we dance away...

I'm ready to be done with Jessica and Kourtni. Both of them seem heavy on their feet, and I blame Jessica for the lack of flow in her dance tonight. It looked to me almost like she was adding in little extra steps in between "tricks" to try and keep up.

I'm a total Gev/Courtney shipper. Sorry, Courtney's boyfriend.

I haven't liked Jessica in any of her dances. And now that I re-watched the Vegas episode and realized she was the other half of the contentious group choreography duo, and, more importantly, in the role of the "this other guy is causing a problem (because he's not doing what I what to do)" bitch, I have zero sympathy for her. Zero.

I think that Comfort's partner is dragging her down. I think that she did a good job tonight.

Loved Joshua and Katee, their routine was great and my GAWD, that ass and those thighs in the pants!!!!!

I think that it's not so much that I dislike the contemporary, it's that I dislike the music. I found Courtney and Matt interesting and visually pleasing.

SOMEONE PLEASE FIRE THE COSTUME DESIGNER. thank you.

Dear SYTYCD contestant with my name: Please stop sucking! It makes reading this thread a festival of unfun double-takes!

I really need to catch up on Shear Genius and 30 Days.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.

SYTYCD: I loved Gev and Courtney's routine, but I was surprised no one called them on the opening few seconds, because I thought it was obvious that Gev clearly wasn't confortable/confident with the move, even though they pulled it off.

Like Vortex, I want Comfort to get a better partner, but the same goes for Chelsea.

I really liked the disco number. Unreasonably so, probably. Was I the only one who thought that maybe Jessica landed wrong/too hard in the death fall the judges commented on, and it threw her off for a second or two?

Mark in a suit is GUH.

I am still surprised by how much I like Katee and Chelsie. I expected to dislike them both, but I don't.

I expected to dislike Katee after her whining, but she's a good dancer.

i'm not really impressed with Jessica, but i totally said that when the judges were critiquing that particular section. Will definitely dropped the ball her too low.

i'm not sure i actually like Katee, but i adore Joshua. he makes the pairing for me.

I'm not a huge fan of Katee, the whinyness in Vegas turned me off. But she seriously kicked ass in that Samba. Joshua had some good moves, but she's the one I kept my eye on. Her feet just flew and she had that hip action agoing something fierce, I thought her dress was going to fly completely off of her a couple of times!

Yeah, after Vegas I just couldn't be a fan, but she keeps managing to hold her own each week, so I can't keep hating on her tooooo much. I want to. But I can't.

I was, however, very surprised when the straight guy in the room thought she was hot, last night (I was watching with my sister, four gay men, and one straight guy). I don't find her at all attractive. I mean, obviously nothing wrong with her body (what with all of them being dancers). Though then we rewinded and showed him the other half-there dress, and he agreed Courtney was darn hot too.

But I still prefer all the guys.
