Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

My stupid cable jacked up that whole routine. She was on the floor, it paused, and she was up in the air! Annoying.

Okay, that was a fun disco, but another dance where I watched only one of the dancers again and this time it was Chelsie. Have to agree with Nigel, though, that Joshua is great as a partner who is there. Really, there.

Dude, neither one of them has fully caught their breath after all the talking.

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

None of the discos this season come close to the Knock on Wood one from last season.

Oh, I feel better with Toni defining herself as a street dancer -- I only know her in the cheerleading outfit!!

Yeah, she put together the first hip hop dance troupe, The Lockers way back when. Used them in a lot of early videos too, particularly for the Talking Heads.

My guesses for bottom 4: Courtney and Comfort, Mark and Joshua

AHHHHHHHHHHH. It ate everythign I wrote. GRR.

I was writing things as I watched, but I guess since there's only one more dance I'll read some of what y'all say before I post this. Hrmph.

I want Lil C back. I do not like this Toni woman.

I think the foxtrot was not as bad as they said. Or rather, it was terrible, but compared to other foxtrots on this show, it wasn't that bad. Mark was good in the separated parts. But given that Mary seemed to have forgotten how smokin' hot he was in his tango with Chelsie back in the day, it's clearly "We want Mark to go home" time, and hey, they paired him with Comfort and gave them a damn foxtrot, so...yeah. Clearly, Comfort and Mark are going home.

I didn't like Will and Courtney's lyrical hiphop to Alicia Keys all that much either.

But I did like Mia's door piece quite a lot, even though I felt like Twitch just had to act, and Katee did all teh dancing in it. It was still an awesome piece.

The tango that Joshua and Chelsie did *was* awesome, and I loved Dmitri's choreography.

I don't think this disco looks all that good. Unless by "people will think they could do this" the choreographer meant "this will look kinda amateurish and clumsy". Their tango was a HELL of a lot better

I loved all the dances except the last two. I didn't think the foxtrot was as bad as they said. More importantly, I really didn't like the disco. The whole thing seemed off, the song choice, Chelsie's look, the energy, eveything.
