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.

Huh, except for the torso action, I was bored by that. I just don't get the Twitchington thing at all. I seem to be immune to their charisma, and I don't think they're that great at actually dancing either.

Eh, I wasn't feeling it. I was bored by that piece. Maybe the song was too slow? I don't know. West Coast Swing is supposed to be really sexy and this just wasn't. NappyTab needs some remedial grammar classes. So sad for them. The judges are lying. Tremendous? I won't remember this at all tomorrow.

Could it be that Twitchington is gonna be my top couple for the night? My world, she is all askew!

That last dance just didnt' thrill me. And I'm fricking bored with Benji's cartwheel thing. It's become a schtick instead of a signature mark. Use it sparingly, dude!

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.

I thought about it and decided it would be too cringeworthy.

It's actually sort of interesting to see who's doing really well, who can't take it, and which couples are actually pretty solid.

One of the boys who wanted to convince his girlfriend that they were too young to have kids got a big surprise -- the baby they got *loves* him and he's a complete natural with her.
