Can you really dislike a routine that starts (eta: and ends!!) with Will shirtless?
...because God knows you need some satisfaction in life besides shagging Captain Cardboard! And I never really liked you anyway. And you have stupid hair!

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.

Oh, I like watching those two dance. They just wake me up and make me take notice. How fun!

Ugh. It's fucking' Felix and his bag of tricks. No hip action, from minute one. These two are so tragically without the right kind of rhythm for this dance. They are doing all the steps, but it's just. . . not good. No fire. It was all pulled up, nothing grounded, nothing down into the floor. And totally agreed with NappyTab here that there was no passion in the piece. Back to B3 again for these two as well.
Chelsie and Mark
Wow. From that first step down onto the stage, they were both so in character. That was fun. I'm not sure how technically solid it was, but I didn't care. I've lost all ability to be objective about these two. I loved it. There was one lift that was a little awkward (with the slide down the back) but overall, I enjoyed. Love them. Costume department, thank you for continuing to put Mark in suits because he is smoking.

SYTYCD, thank you for the shirtlessness. Mia is so on this season. That was amazing. I have to stop using that word, but that was incredible. Both of them. Just fantastic. I am in love with that piece. I'm blown away by that. I would put that above Chelsie and Mark's first piece. Total commitment, lovely technique from both. Loved.
ETA: Chelsie and Mark's first piece tonight. I still love those two like none other overall.

wow, more shirtlessness/hotness, and a great routine. I don't like contemporary, but I like Mia Michaels.

I'm really torn on that routine. I liked it, Mia really pushes the envelope with some of the stuff she choreographs and that was cool. But, I think too much of the routine relied on the mattress. Dancing is done on the floor. There was no pair work to speak of. Still, I liked it. I thought they performed it with passion and grace. Yet. Yet. Argh! I don't know that I'd vote for it, despite the fact it was excellent and I'm afraid the voting public will feel the same way.
