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.

Shirtless men in kilts! I can die happy now!

"We have trust issues." Mylar

Mia Group Dance - I saw a lot of recycled moves in there. Hmm. Still and all, I enjoyed it. And the poor noodles were fried, died and laid to the side. And funny how Mary decides to bring critique only to continue hating on Courtney. Again, I say "Hmm."

Well, Josh has my vote, with Katee a very close second. Interesting that DH, who never watches the show, watched the last hour with me and then said, "The guy in the red pants will win. I liked him more than the short one." Will America feel the same?

That man was going to shank me. Over an omelette. Two eggs and a slice of government cheese. Is that what my life is worth?

Josh and Courtney – That was awful. So, so sloppy. Sloppy feet, sloppy arms. Ugh. I did not like it.

Yes. I thought they looked like they were moving through mud.

Mia Dance? Loved shirtless men in kilts, but I really did not like that dance at all.

I put in several votes for Katee and several for Joshua. Either of them would make me happy.

What does NOT make me happy???? Due to a pre-season Bears game, I won't get the finale show until 11pm tomorrow!!! Booo!!!

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

sure, right after I'm done ;)

I actually liked the number. maybe because I liked the music. The costumes were a little cracked out, though.

Art Crawl!!!

PR: I love that we can actually see Blayne getting paler.

I thought that either Korto or Terri could have won and I'd be happy. (I do think that the outfits that were white with blue and red trim were better looking than the others - in general.)

Shear Genius - they FINALLY sent Nekesa home. FINALLY.

I liked them both. I thought that Korto would win because hers was more modern and simple. Also, the sleeveless top on Terri's model was a little too tight, I think. I'm not sure why so many of the designers tried to do a retro look.
