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

Ok we can't lose Gev! I wasn't impressed with their solos, but their partnership was good!

I thought Gev did a great job! And, of course Chelsie rocked it out. As a pair, I thought they were far and away the best at any type of faster ballroom we've seen since the start of the season.

I just voted over 20 times and never got a busy signal on any number. Is that unusual?

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

PR just surprised me! I thought for sure Garbage Bag Lady would go, just because her effort was so...pathetic.

that pas de deux? who else could have danced that except Katee and Will? I mean, damn. no other couple could have done it, I don't think.

Late W&P

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

hey, the dress was helping to keep her ribs steady. Um, right?

wow, that two step was awful. It made me dizzy, for one. And, their tempo varied throughout the number. Not very exciting either. I'd be interested to see what meara thought, as our resident two stepper.

Open arms? I just threw up in amy mouth a little. Although I'm happy to see Comfort dance with someone who is not a sexless contemporary dancer. (not that all contemporary dancers are sexless, her partners have been.

She trusts Twitch, that's important.

Wow, is that Star Search's Sam Harris, I wonder.

Keep Will shirtless and in the competition. That was totally unecessary. Appreciated, but unecessary.

Once again, Joshua is working the tight pants. One thing I love about him is the way that he totally trusts his partner to be where she's supposed to be. He doesn't watch or look at his partner to make sure, but he also still connects with his partner.

I said it last week, I'll say it again (and I suspect every week) FIRE THE COSTUME DESIGNER. Despite the awesomeness of the Twitch/Comfort routine, I hated the fucking costume.

Oh, nice cross promotion with the David Archuleta. And more shirtless Will. ooooh, BAD cut of the song!!!

Mary, it was NOT flawless. There was a very awkward moment when Katie got caught in the dance through (the thing where her upper body goes through his arms was awkward and jerky)

Thank you Nigel, for noticing the mistake.

Because books.

PR just surprised me! I thought for sure Garbage Bag Lady would go, just because her effort was so...pathetic.

Yeah, the other guy's raincoat was a little bizarre, but at least he *designed* something, with detail. (Weird detail, but whatever.) Hers looked exactly like what it was -- a garbage bag.

I've missed Tim so! ::sniff::

PR:

I already hate Blayne (the tanning guy), Suede (talking about yourself in the third person is never good, and when's the last time anybody saw Jordache jeans). I'm not crazy about flower hair girl, but I will withhold judgment.

I am always struck by how badly some of the designers dress.

Why is everyone so surprised about the tablecloths? I mean, are you kidding? You got a big piece of fabric!!!!

I am not surprised that Jerry lost, that outfit was dreadful. I mean Stella's was bad, but at least there was an outfit there. Jerry's was just awful. and what possessed him to use the yellow gloves?

Okay we aren't even done yet, but I want to see Twitch go - because he can really only do the one thing - and Comfort or Kherington, either one. Based on tonight alone, I'd keep Comfort.

Agree with you on the girls. For the guys I think it's a toss up between Gev and Mark and I'm not really happy about either of those.

And, yes, I'm still keeping score... Kherington: 9 High heel shoes: 1

Truly amazing.
