As much as I love Chelsie and Mark, I gotta say that Joshua and Katee blew them out of the water with this routine. I'm really looking forward to seeing what they have to do for their second routines.
I like the way the walls go out. Gives you an open feeling. Firefly is a good design. People don't appreciate the substance of things. Objects in space. People miss out on what's solid.

Courtney and Gev
Aww. My little love bugs. Thought they were awesome. Courtney was on fire. She really did outdance him. Absolutely. But agreed with Nigel (again) and my earlier critique that it wasn't really hip hop. It was exactly like what Courtney is used to doing as a Knicks City Dancer. So of course she'd be good at it. For a B-Boy like Gev, doing that style of choreography is probably just as foreign as doing contemporary. I still liked it and had a lot of fun with the routine. And I do love that song. It's old school hotness.

I love Will, and she wasn't that bad this time.

Again, crappy, irritating costume design. WHY is Courtney's jersey cut open on the side? not necessary. But, I thought that she outdanced Gev, her moves were crisper and hit harder. Did he try to "dance down" for her and go too far?

That's the first time I've felt that Jessica kept up with Will and actually matched him. That rocked.

Can you really dislike a routine that starts (eta: and ends!!) with Will shirtless?

I'm sorry, was there dancing? I was completely distracted by Will's insanely, smoking hot body. GOOD LORD!!
Ok, now, the dance. Will is just beautiful. Everything he did was just . . . perfection. And Jessica was better in this than I've seen her. Oooh, NappyTab brings it to Jessica. Ha. They're not wrong, but that's cold. Sadly, they are a day late and a dollar short because that was the best that she's ever done. She brought performance quality, good lines. Of course, she also sat on the floor for the first 16 counts or so while Will danced.
Comfort and Thayne
Bored now. That lift was done, but it was so tentative. (Although Comfort did hit a nice position in the air) There's no real meat to their dancing. I mean, I guess it was ok, not really a lot of rise and fall. Eh, it was ok. But waltz and broadway? The judges must really want Thayne gone. I am seeing bottom three again for these two. It's a better partnership than Comfort and Big Pasty, but then anything would've been.

I thought that was a very smooth, smooth waltz. I don't think either of these guys can win, but that is, I think, the best smooth waltz we've seen.

Because books.
Anybody else watching The Baby Borrowers? It's mesmerizing in that absolute train wreck way. A couple of the teens discovered the cluestick on Day One, though.
