Jessica has two cracked and one broken rib but she still came out in stiletto heels and a skin tight dress.

When I had a fractured rib - just one - they gave me great drugs. It hardly hurt unless someone made me laugh. Laughing hurt a lot.

I am behind on TiVo, but I'm happy to hear Lil'C is a good judge.

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

Did I somehow miss Joshua's solo?

Gev is a sweetie! No lech, there.

I really am enjoying Joshua and Courtney. Even better than Joshua and Katee. There's a warmth to Courtney that just works with any guy out there. It's funny, there are some dancers that are standout solo artists. I think Courtney is one of those who works better as a partner, because she is so good at making them look good, while still looking great herself (the hip-hop aside.) She'll only win if she can pull it out in the solos the way Sabra did.

Yeah, my understanding of broken ribs is they tape the hell out of you. You're fine as long as you don't breathe deeply or bend. Presumably someone else got her into the dress!

I'm just really impressed that she could keep her balance! Hella impressed!

And Judges quit dogging Mark!

I think Kerington is the kiss of death. I really don't know how she stayed this long. I want Mark and Chelsie back together!

I agree that Courtney is a great partner, not a thrilling soloist. She really does well at the ballroom stuff, especially the latin.

I don't think Joshua has soloed yet.

flea,

a colleague of mine had broken ribs - they snapped right off. they apparently don't tape any more because that was causing pneumonia. they give you this breathing apparatus so you have to practice breathing deeply so your lungs won't fill up.

I had an operation (gall bladder out) a bit ago and I had to use that damn breathing treatment and it hurt like hell days 1-4, but after that, I was okay.

I really enjoyed Twitch and Comfort. Only, with hip-hop I always feel like it's two dancers performing side-by-side solos. Usually not performed very well. So, it was great to see two pros doing this number. Still, solos! I want partners!

I am still behind: Someone on a blog somewhere mentioned that Twitch & Comfort had less time than usual to learn their dances together. Jessica went to the hospital on Saturday, so they learned Sunday and danced Monday for the taping.

I'm not liking the idea of losing any of the men in this group -- any one of them I will think it too soon.
