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

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?

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.

Actually, I realized last night that she has very unattractive legs (for a dancer). The more I looked at them, the more the proportions and shape just seemed all wrong. I guess I never noticed before because it's the first time she's been in a dress.

Huh. Now I'll have to look closer at her legs! I was mostly just looking at her face and not being impressed!

She reminds me of Shannon Dougherty (sp?) from 90210. Who I never particulary liked, either.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Just now watching SYTYCD from last night: Wow, I was really not impressed with the Chelsie/Mark number, but maybe that's just because it was billed as hip-hop.

Mostly I'm just glad Melanie was wearing a color! (Stacy and Clinton would be proud.)

I thought of that too--'cause last time she was on I made the comment to my sister that I guess she had gone back to her schlumpy black ways.

It also prompted me to start rewatching WNTW because I've fallen off the wagon a bit myself.
