Not only do I disagree with the judges, I can't follow how they got from their critiques to their decisions. Weird.
But that ballet was freakin' awesome. Wow.
You know, I just... I woke up, and I looked in the mirror, and I thought, hey, what's with all the sin? I need to change. I'm... I'm dirty. I'm, I'm bad with the... sex and the envy and that, that loud music us kids listen to nowadays.

Seriously. Phillip gets in the bottom three with his style, which he's already done twice, has a not great (for him) solo, and they keep him?
Kupono's solo was bad, but I think Mia loves his quirkiness and that's why he's still there.
I don't get how Jeanine's solo was the best, I actually thought she might go after I saw it.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
I don't understand the judges keeping Phillip after everything they've said. I thought they would kick him off the first chance they got.

I really disliked her solo.

Really? I liked Jeanine's solo a lot!
Kat got to watch LIVE?? JEALOUS.
I looooved the woman who was dancing with Desmond--her legs were wicked long and awesome strong!
I was annoyed they kept Phillip--he didn't even do a great solo!

I really thought they would, and should, send Kupono home tonight. That was one of the worst solos by a non-ballroom dancer that I have ever seen on this show.
I loved Chbeeb's solo, thought it rocked, but I still think he should've gone. He can't do anything but hip hop. He's not as bad in other styles as Cedric, but that is damning him with faint praise. He will be a drag on his partners come top 10. I expect lots of work arounds like the choreographers had to do for Twitch last year.
I also loved Jeanine's solo. She did a quadruple (I think?) fouette turn and stepped out of it like it was nothing. Ridicuously centered. That opening back arabesque was held forever, so solid, not a wobble. I thought the whole solo had a very classical feel. I think there might have even been a brise at one point. I really, really liked it.

I had a feeling I was missing the technical aspect of Jeanine's solo - her musicality just left me cold.

Technically, Jeanine was very good, and I say that on a night that Patricia Hachey showed all those whippersnappers how it is really done. I mean,that deep plie in second position en pointe for like a minute at the top of her pas de deux with Desmond Richardson? I don't even think that's possible but somehow she did it. Wow.
The best part of the show was that we got to see pre-tapes for the 100th episode special. We saw three routines that will air that night, none of which involved Katie Holmes. Awesome!
