"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."

So the title of this week's episode is "throw Comfort under a bus."

subtitled: "We don't want Mark to take the place of one of our preferred men in the competition, so tonight we begin the slow march to his dismissal."

This is KILLING me. Comfort was dead in the water weeks ago and benefitted from the fact that there was other dead weight to get rid of on the girls side before her number came up. But the Mark thing is inexcusable! He tore that Broadway routine up and his technique was impeccable and the judges all but ignored him in order to prop Chelsie, except for Mia, who ripped him a new one (and this after she'd already hated all over him the week that she choreographed for him and Chelsie). I am sick about it, because he really should make Top 4 and he's getting totally sandbagged tonight.

Ah, I see. Let's do the quickstep by . . . not actually doing the quickstep. Alright-y then. Let's see, there was some jive in there, some twist, some flips. Where was the quickstep in that quickstep? At least some honesty from Nigel.

ETA: Damn! Mia is seriously getting her bitch on this evening.

The judges were harsh, but right.

Danger is my middle name, only I spell it R. u. t. h. - Tina Belcher.

Will is a total gentleman.

Courtney and Gev #2 - Mandy Moore has been really disappointing me lately. Let's see if she can bring it this time. She does much better when she has a prop. I quite enjoyed that. Gev is another sleeper when it comes to being trained. He was pulling out some lovely lines. Gev was really good in this. They are by far the best couple of the night for me.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

They are totally growing on me.

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."

You know, I think it is likely Comfort's time to go, but why get too enthusiastic about cutting her? It is kind of fucked up. She isn't on par with Katee, cool. Don't beat her up like she stole your bike.

The unevenness in the judging bothers me. The judges clearly have an idea of when it is time for a person to go and they aren't subtle about it.

Hey, Kherrington is in shoes!

Kherington and Twitch #2 - Ok,another case where we will do the dance by not actually doing the dance. There was barely any tango in that tango. I find it really hard to even critique that. It wasn't good, that's for sure.

The judges are a cranky bunch tonight.

ETA: Yes, finally heels for Kherington. And by far their worst dance of the season. Maybe the shoes stole her mojo?

Still have no idea what genre of dance "Bollywood" is.

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."

kat, Kherrington was in shoes for krump, but I think they were top siders or something.

Right now, I think I like Will & Mark the best of the men. I like Joshua's energy, but I don't think he's in the top 4 couples. I like Twitch a whole lot (lovely personality), but again, not in the top 4. Gev is just okay. Thayne creeps me out.

Of the women, I think Katee and Courtney are the best. I like Chelsie, but I don't think she's really top notch.
