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!
Wow, kat! How does one get tix to the show? I just remembered I live here now...

Yeah, that was crazy impressive! And then she did it again later in the routine! I thought her legs just looked amazing all through.
And I liked Jeanine's solo, maybe because it was more "classical" it looked a little less like "OMG, HMV, I am throwing myself across the stage desperately!" than some of the girls tend to.
Didn't need to be said twice, though.
Can we talk about my hatred for Kayla? It's growing. She can dance, but I hate her. She just comes off as a whiny bitchy baby when she ends up in the bottom three. I know she's like, an infant, but show a little grace! Like, Karla.
I will miss Vitolio. I liked his choice of dancing to a song with "Goodbye" in the title - he knew he was being thrown under the bus.
Expedition Africa - OMGSHUTUPPASQUALE.
kat, you were THERE?!??! That's awesome. Did they do the opening routine, too? I feel like I heard that's taped earlier?
And "better than Cedric" might be the definition of damning with faint praise....
