Courtney and Twitch – NappyTab delivered a decent routine (for them). Courtney was on fire! She is really, really good. I don’t think Chelsie could’ve brought it like that. Twitch was fun as usual. The judges are ridiculous (as usual). So, so tired of them. Can we please go back to the rotating panel from S1 and put Mary and Nigel out to pasture?

Courtney Solo: It was lovely. She is so grounded. And she has one of the better ladies’ centers I’ve seen on the show. And she’s a sweetie to boot! (I could go without never seeing that arms outstretched reaching towards the audience move again, but I quibble because I love) Yay, Courtney!

Wade + Katee + Joshua has the potential to be dyn-o-mite.

Katee and Joshua – Beautiful. Oh my, how I have missed Wade! I guess Josh learned how to do those triple turns on the street, right Nigel? Thank heavens for Mandee Moore being there and bringing some real critique. I really, really enjoyed that. I loved the little kiss on the elbow and when they were on the ground and he lifted her up into that open, X position. Just gorgeous. Also, I just love Joshua's "Bitch, please!" face whenever Nigel starts on his tale of the untrained dancer. Classic.

Anyone else think that Cat spent a little too much time at the pool this week?

I think she spent too much time with the spray tan bottle and then they tried to cover it up with blush.

Cat really needs some color on her lips. She looks insane! And not the good kind of insane that she usually looks.

Courtney and Katee – Tyce Broadway? Really? When are they going to stop letting this fool choreograph Broadway? Did they learn nothing from the Donyelle/Heidi top 4 Broadway in S2? At least it wasn’t Cabaret. That’s something. Also, the wardrobe folks are back on the crack pipe. What a waste of two beautiful dancers. I will agree with Nigel that Katee’s movement is a little bit more refined than Courtney’s and it showed here, even in something as simple as when they were doing the little shoulder shrug. Overall, the routine was cute but forgettable.

Twitch Solo: His favorite dance is DwDD? Really? Well, I suppose I can see it since he was a part of this emotional Jean Marc story. Wow, that was an unexpected solo from him. Much harder than he usually brings it. He didn’t go for the laugh. And I liked it.
