I have to admit, I did like Matt's solo quite a bit more than the other two guys, so I was oddly pleased he stayed, even though I'm not a fan. I don't like Thayne because his smiles freak me out because he shows so much gums. Which is not a good reason to not like someone, but whatever. I doubt I'll be a bigger fan of him with Comfort than I was of Chris with Comfort, but whatev'. Just waiting and hoping for them to switch partners. C'mon, America....
I was also surprised by what seemed like so much genuine emotion from the partners, shown at the very end over the credits, leaping back up on stage and hugging their ousted partners. Huh.
I was a little surprised by the abruptness with which Nigel knocked Chelsea off. Dang.
Nigel is straight up pissing me off this year. What's with the term "animalistic" to describe what Comfort and Tree should have done? WTF? That didn't sit right with me, nor does it sit right with me that he praises the couples doing "hip hop" routines by Napoleon/Tabitha when that is about as "hip hop" as your average Lakers cheerleader.
It is pretty clear to me that Nigel likes watered down hip hop which is fine as a personal preference, but not fine for a producer of a dance show. Get some decent hip hop choreographers back on the fucking show and lose Doriana.
What happened to Wade? Why is he not choreographing anymore? What did I miss?
He has done one group number so far - but we need him back, don't we?
In theory, I like the idea of introducing new blood into the choreographer pool, but NappyTab just are not quality hip hop choreographers. They do video/pop choreo which is fine (and I've liked some of it) but not really hip hop. They need to bring back Dave Scott. His choreography is amazing. And I was actually glad to see Cicely and Olisa come back (though, please don't let them judge). They have a nice flow to their work. I really wish they'd let some of the past hip hoppers choreo. I thought Dom and Hawk's group was really good and obviously they know how to put a routine together.
I did like the new BowWowWow woman. I thought the Kourtni/Matt routine rocked.

I think I could like her, I just dislike Khourtni and Matt so much that it was hard for me to tell! :)

See, for me these two are just too milquetoast even to hate. They are just there. They have lovely technique, Matt moreso than Kourtni. I think she dances very heavy, no lift. But they are both so boring. They never get all the way into character, though again Matt came close in the Top 18 dance. He was very Old Hollywood glamour and got pretty close to that "happy feet" feel. So yeah, they are both just pleasant dancers who are obviously well trained and pick up choreography well. But they just have no spark, no charisma.
Yeah, there are other people I would rather see go home first. Like Jessica, and Thayne. I'm kinda starting to like Matt. I don't hate him. I'm just not a fan. And since there are many people (Twitch, Will, Joshua, Mark....) I AM a fan of, it's just not worth the energy!
I have also decided that I love Mark as a dancer, but I don't really want him to speak. He brings a maturity and intensity to his dancing that isn't apparent with many of the other dancers.
