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.

Joshua and Katee - That was excellent! Even though they totally made up a dance style, Katee and Josh completely turned it out. I thought they did a wonderful job and I had so much fun with that. I'm ignoring anything that Nigel says about hip hop from now on. They were great.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

That was fun! I can see "Bollywood" as a style -- a glitzed up version of some Indian style, like "Broadway" is glitzed up 50s jazz or whatever it actually is. NB: I know nothing about dance.

Oh yeah, she's worn shoes before. I meant heels. Finally, a pair of proper heels.

Hooray for Bollywood! I loved it!

Mia said the other thing I was thinking about Bollywood -- shouldn't the stage be full of people for a proper Bollywood number? Yes it should.

"Indian cultural dancing" - so says the executive producer of SYTYCD.

As if he would fucking know.

So, Gev and Courtney were my clear number one couple and Thayne and Comfort are my clear bottom couple. I feel like Twitch and Kherington are also down there in B3 territory.

The third B3 denizen, hmmmm. Well for me it would definitely be Will and Jessica, because I'm just really ready for her to go home. But, I think all of the other couples had one solid to good routine and one challenging routine. I loved Chelsie and Mark's Broadway but their Salsa was not all that great. Josh and Katee's Bollywood was fun, but the Waltz was not good. Jessica and Will's contemporary piece was stunning (90% of that thanks to Will) but their quick step was one of the worst of the night. I will be so upset if the judges hit job lands Mark and Chelsie in the B3.

Barring a huge upset, I think Thayne and Comfort are going home tomorrow.

Well I voted for everyone except for Comfort and Thane.
