Wow. That had to be one of the most technically difficult dances we've seen. That jump/lift was absolutely amazing. I almost wish we could have a pair win, because those two are just incredible together.

Some of the lifts were crazy difficult, but I thought that the rest of the dance wasn't really all that technically demanding. The Desmond Richardson piece that Katee and Will danced seemed far more difficult. Total word on the trust factor, though. I doubt that any of the other new couples could've pulled those lifts off. And in general, Katee has proved to be a fearless dancer, which I adore. She just attacks anything that she's given.

Definitely. I do enjoy watching her.

I think she's the winner! And to think, she almost screwed it up at the tryouts.

except her solo sucked!

Twitchie: Well, they really tried to sell it, but it wasn't all that good. Chelsie was ridiculous. I can't get over how amazing she is. The legs on that girl are insane. And she totally saved that kick over the head move and she saved that turn sequence where he totally dropped the hands. The hip action for Twitch was not where it should be.

Finally, Nigel calls out the feet on this girl. They are things of beauty.

Katee solo: I hated every little bit of that. Have generally not been impressed with her solo. She's a talented dancer but obviously not a choreographer.

Okay, I don't know if the costume department is insane or brilliant. As the dance was. I can't say if I liked it or not, but I sure was mesmerized!

Josh solo: Outstanding. Again, I say, fun. Loved the little booty shaking in the corner.

Mark/Courtney: Bow Wow Wow! Yay! I have liked her this season. So, I love Mark and I loved that dance. But for the first time, I saw what Mia was talking about with the technique. His toe point is not as refined as I might have liked. He kinda had the dead fish feet at points. And he fell out of that turn in the corner. That said, I totally didn't care. I thought the piece was amazing. They both really just sank their teeth into the characters and really went for it. Fierce.
