I'm certain the pas de deux would have looked different with other dancers. I'm also sure that the quickstep Will and Jessica did would have looked different if it had been Chelsie and Gev. Could Gev have done the lift Twitch did with Comfort? Kherington?

The choreographers must routinely substitute one move for another because the dancers can't do something.

OMFG why is Nekesa not gone from Shear Genius yet? She's so very, very untalented and annoying.

Okay. Not often I don't like a group dance, but that one just left me totally cold. They looked like rag dolls being tossed around the stage. And Mia needs to quit going to the music emo well so damn much.

I didn't like any of the group numbers except the men's number. I usually like "Bollywood" style stuff in movies, but I thought this one was not as energetic as I was hoping for.

I cannot believe Nygel choreo'd something I liked.

Nigel choreographed the guys group dance?!?! Wow! I actually liked it. Something's wrong with me, I might actually start liking his smile.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I'm now watching last night's Big Brother, and are they seriously going to fill those seats every week?? With who??

"We have trust issues." Mylar

Gev in the B2? That's bullshit.

Comfort's solo was the best she's ever done. If she'd been doing that each week, she wouldn't be in this position.

The Bollywood was boring. The girls dance was a lot of rolling around on the floor and EMOTING. I loved the boy's piece. It was really fun.

Mark's solo? He's so interesting, such a great dancer. He totally held my attention without doing any of the expected tricks. I will be so sad if he goes home.
