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.

Okay. Can I take Josh home and lick him all over?

Josh and Twitch – They’re so cute! OMG, cute overload! Russian Trepak? WTF? Really? I kind of hated that a really, really lot. It was liking watching two little kids dance battle in their driveways. I’m sure it was aerobically challenging, but . . . I was not amused. And the toughest ever on the show? I don’t think so. Josh did display some nice technique in his turns.

I can see how Twitch and Joshua were the ones hospitalized for dehydration, if they were doing that. Also, Joshua was doing those split jumps like, 10 feet in the air. It was like Neil.

Katee Solo: Well, that was her best solo ever. I still wouldn’t say that I loved it. But, at least it looked choreographed. And she is very well trained with lovely technique. Still too frantic and hair fling-y for my taste, but a huge improvement over her usual mess.

Twitch and Katee – Closed hold? Still painful. He cannot hold his frame at all. And his shoulders are up around his eyebrows. Very nice lift at the end. I thought he was better than he has been before. I’m still weeping when I think about any of Danny Anya’s or Danny and Lacey’s smooth ballroom dances from last year. And are they going to critique any dancing at all tonight? Any?

OMG. Teeny Joshua in the “Dance” t-shirt? Cutest thing ever!

Josh Solo: It was cute. A little bit repetitious. Fun, but I don’t think I’ll remember it tomorrow. And look, it's the return of the "Bitch, Please!" Catch a frikkin' clue, Nigel. He HAS training. He just talked about it in his interview package. He may not have as much training as some of the other dancers on the show, but the boy has training.

I'm voting for Joshua and Katee.
