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.

Joshua and Katee
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.

Because books.

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.

Courtney/Gev
So cute. I though Gev was wonderful in this piece. He's really quite versatile. And again, he has great carriage. (Although I'm crying a little on the inside when I think about Evan from the Top 20 doing that number. Crying.) And I love On the Town, so points for that. They really had the character. I disagree a little bit with Nigel, I think he does have great carriage. Wow, the judges really want this couple in B3. Why are they being so nitpicky?
Ah, well. Thayne/Comfort and Matt/Kourtni are definitely B3 bound. The show is doing everything it can to get Courtney/Gev down there, too, but by rights it should be JessiWill because only half of that partnership is working. I think Nigel's going to get his wish and finally boot Matt this week. It could easily be another couple boot with Kourtni going too (because for whatever reason, I still think the show's not ready to let Comfort go home). But if somehow Jessica and Will hit B3, I think it will be Jessica going (and deservedly so) although that would leave the hugely unfortunate Will/Kourtni pairing which so would not work on any level. So in that case, I think Thayne would go to leave Will with Comfort.
