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.
Agreed, those three were my favorites. I loved Mia's dance.
I was bummed that the Paso Doble wasn't better since I look forward to that each season. I like Carmina Burana as much as anyone, but I thought the music was really distracting.
Bottom 3 for me would be Karla & Jonathan, Kaitlin & Jason, and Jeanine & Philip.
I have to give it up to Tasty. That Broadway routine was oodles of fun. He's so much better when he stays far, far away from the Fosse. And Jeanine was marvelous. Phillip tried really hard. That and $2.50 will get you a cup of coffee. He really needs to go home now.
B3 for me would be Jason/Caitlin, Karla/Jonathan and either Phillip/Jeanine or Asuka/Vitolio. But I could easily see Kupono/Kayla hitting B3. I think Brandon/Janette, Melissa/Ade and Randi/Evan are really pulling away from the pack. I expect to see all six of them in the top 10.
Yeah, the Bway routine wasn't bad, I'm just still bitter he wasn't in the bottom last week.
Maybe it's the French thing, but I really want Vitolio to do well. Asuko doesn't really bother me. Yet.
I love Jeannette and her Finance degree. Good thing she danced well tonight, too.
TAR is getting a 2 hour season premiere on September 27th.
Wow! When was the last two-hour premiere? It's been a while, I know.
I'm just still bitter he wasn't in the bottom last week.
No doubt Phillip should have been B3 last week. I think he should be B3 this week, too. It should be either him or Jonathan going home this week.
There's still not been one routine that I would seek out and re-watch. Randi and Evan's contemporary piece from Week One comes the closest. If I ran across it, I wouldn't turn it off. I guess I can say the same for Kupono and Ashley's Wade piece also from Week One. But neither one set me on fire like Bleeding Love or No Air or Secret Garden from last season or any number of Danny and Anya's dances from S3 or tons of dances from S2, Too Much Booty, Why, the Benjelle Viennese Waltz. This season is just underwhelming.
I think the overall level is better, but with no wow factor. I'm not yet sure which I like better. I do know that I had favorites early on in previous seasons (Ivan/Allison and Katie/Joshua come to mind), but that came with a lot of dreck.
I have favorites, for sure! But this is my first season, so. I'm just wowed by all of it, really, although there have been a few routines I liked less than others in terms of choreography.
