Okay. Can I take Josh home and lick him all over?
It's my estimation that... every man ever got a statue made of him, was one kind of sumbitch or another.

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.

shit! Joshua really just looks like he hurt himself with that landing out of the back handspring.

Josh and Courtney – That was awful. So, so sloppy. Sloppy feet, sloppy arms. Ugh. I did not like it. Again, I’m sure that it was aerobically challenging, but it was also not neat at all. Well, I didn’t like either of the ballroom dances. Mary really disappointed me here with her critique.

Oh, good, Nigel's actually critiquing the Jive. And he's absolutely right. It was lacking. I think a lot of it was exhaustion.

Kilts yay!
That's FIVE dances each, and the only short one the solo, and at least two for each dancer were super-high energy and demanding. It's no wonder things were sloppy at times. An hour show would have been fine, y'know.
