Jessica and Will - Tasty, huh? Well, I like him much more when he's not doing Broadway, so this has a chance to be good. So, the show has hit on a winning formula. Nekkid Will = Votes. He is breathtaking. And that was beautiful choreography. But that turn Will pulled out? With flexed feet and arms in second? What? He just blew her away. She was ok, but totally irrelevant in this piece. The judges need to stop trying to make Jessica happen. She is not going to happen.
ETA: See, I didn't think Thayne was all that bad if you take away the cheese-eating grin. He really did hit the choreography, but he did not have the right vibe at all. It's a shame that he can't turn off that Guy Smiley persona, because he is a really talented dancer. Comfort is just a dancer that has no presence for me. She is missing that spark. I didn't find her more than just ok in that piece.
well, I'm very pleased they didn't put her down like a dog - like they have been doing previously. Jessica can't really live up to Will, but that point has been made again and again.
Leave her alone and leave Will shirtless. Good grief that man is hotttt.
Anya and Pasha!!!! So excited!
Courtney and Gev - That was so much fun! I am consistently blown away by Gev's carriage. He was really good. Courtney was good, too. Was the hip action exactly right? Well, not really. But I don't care. And Gev totally got the feel of the dance, too. Maybe it's the Russian thing?
don't you think Gev has had SOME ballroom training? I don't think he fell off the ballroom turnip truck yesterday.
Man, Kherrington is not good at krumping.
not good.
no no no.
Kherrington tried. But yeah.

OK, Mary!
Kherington and Twitch - Not nearly as bad as it could've been. Kherington definitely lost energy about 3/4 of the way through the routine and the last part just fell off. Twitch was awesome all the way through.
I really have issues with how they talk about hip hop, especially krumping, on this show.
kat, I am actually offended by how they discuss hip hop. It is MUCH worse this year than previous seasons. I think they are overcompensating due to the perceived (or otherwise) competition from ABDC and this is fucking up their appropriateness meter.
How is it possible for them to sound even MORE ignorant this season than previous?
Kherrington's outfit was all wrong, too. She looked like a laker girl dancing with a guy from the hood!
