I'm afraid Tony is going to be like..oh what was his name who kept staying around even though he was lesser and all his female partners kept getting voted off.

So Ryan and Paris are out and all the couples will stay for another week. Good gives them a chance to get more chemistry and get closer.

So, the couple who did the Tango? They were on that awful bad NBC show where the countries competed in dance. They have always been awesome, but that wasn't even their best tango routine that I've seen. I keep feeling like the man is the woman's student or something.

"You are just crazy Mary Murphy lady".

That mac is one smart cookie!!

Tony and Paris are gone, just like I predicted after they announced the bottom three teams. Her routine in particular stank, and his had a lot of flash but no substance.

Oh, that's where I'd seen them before. I only watched afew episodes of the show before I gave up.

BTW, the song that Paris dances to "It Doesn't Hurt" is the one by my friend.

Cool.

Not surprised by the results, I think that's fine. I thought Vitolio's performance tonight was good, so I'm not too sure about what the judges are looking for in personality. They want him to be funny or something?

I think it's weird to have them knock her off saying it was partly because of her genre. Hey, man, you're the ones who cast all the contemporary dancers in the first place.

But I agree with the call. After them, I think Asuka & Johnathan's dances were both weak. I know it's hard for partner dancers to do solo work, but still. I think Asuka is doing too much posey posey with the sex kitten stuff and it's annoying and rings false. I do think she's cute and a good dancer, so I wish she's shed that skin pretty quickly.

The Argentine tango is so complex it's crazy. My putative partner would have to wear shin guards. I think you may be right about the teacher/pupil dynamic. I could see that being the case. Guy's hot, though.

Yeah, I thought Asuka's was very weak, but I definitely thought they made the right call.

I'm shocked that the judges gave up on their pet project, Tony, but I heartily approve. I'd bet we have Shankman to thank for it. That locking routine has Fred "Rerun" Berry somewhere turning over in his grave (assuming he is dead which could totally be not true, in which case he was kicking his TV and waiting for the pain to stop). And Paris should've never made the Top 20 in the first place. Natalie is somewhere wailing and gnashing her teeth.

Really, no one except Vitolio turned in a good DoD. (And once again Nigel can bite me. This is not a Miss Congeniality contest, it's a dance show and that fool can dance) Jonathan appears to be one of the weakest ballroom technicians they've ever had on the show. Karla was all "run, run, leap, HMV" and no substance. And poor Asuka fell victim to the same trying to be too sexy in singles dances that seems to plague all female ballroom dancers on this show (See also Anya and Lacey).

Loved the tango and I totally didn't twig to the fact that they were on that horrible Superstars of Dance show on NBC. Although, the S. African judge on that show was a fabulous bitch. I would love to see him and his jheri curl on this show.

I had a question about the opening group dance. Did anyone else think that the initial step by the guys looked a lot, if not exactly like the Vegas hip hop routine steps? It would make sense this early to save precious time and recycle any bits they already know, but Vegas was Nap/Tab and last night was Shane, so maybe I am wrong.

You know what I would like? I would like for them to re-use some good routines that did not get good performances. Like a couple completely does NOT turn it out - a few weeks later, or another season, we get to see it done awesomely.

You know what I want to see? I want to see Colicchio competing in TC:M. Just a thought.

That said, OMGLOVE. I loved the dessert challenge, I loved the dorm room challenge. I can't wait to see what happens next week.
