feel the unconditional love.

he could NOT believe they were all saying Butt and made a routine around one COULD NOT BELIEVE. much laughter in our house.

it was a good routine.

It was a good routine.

I remember this from last season too. I find Toni Basil's hands so odd. the way she uses them when she speaks, they seem almost detached from her.

I missed the bohonk routine!

I kinda hate Caitlin. Not wildly impressed by Jason, but he has a lovely body.

So what style was that Phillip and Janine did? Broadway?

I like Caitlin! I've liked her since auditions.

Too bad Randi and Evan didn't get the Gene Kelly number.

I feel strangely unmoved to vote.

I think I might vote for the first time, just to be sure that Melissa and Ade, Jeannette and Brandon, and Evan and Randi move on, because they were definitely the best of the bunch tonight.

M&A--Loved her moves (when she did that leg lift and then rotated it in mid-air so it was pointing elsewhere--how the hell did she do that?!) and he was the perfect support for her flashier persona, like the judges pointed out. Just a wonderful number.

J&B--Jeannette is turning into the big surprise of the dancers for me. When I heard that she was "just" a salsa dancer, with no other real training, I thought for sure she'd be out in the first few weeks. She is really an amazing dancer, and able to morph into different styles with seeming ease.

R&E--Just so adorably cute together! I definitely want to see them do something steamier (the first week they were close, but they've developed more chemistry since then), though. But, tonight was so freakin' cute! Such a wonderfully fun (there's that word again) dance.

I kinda hate Caitlin. Not wildly impressed by Jason, but he has a lovely body.

Jason definitely made that routine work, because Caitlin was stiff, not graceful, and not into character for that entire dance. Just...ugh. One of the bottom three, IMO.

The first hip-hoppers will also be in the B3, and possibly Kupono and Kayla, just because the waltz is not a vote-grabber, like the judges said. And I'm still not on the Kayla train--I don't get why everyone loves her soooo much! Yes, she has lovely lines and is a gorgeous woman physically, but Jeannette and Melissa are more eye-grabbing to me. I just don't understand.

I feel like by this time last season I really liked some dancers and some routines, but nothing has killed me this year and no one is a big pull for me.

Rick Bayless! Just starting up Top Chef and hey, Rick Bayless! I hope he does well.
