Apparently you can put Comfort in a corner..... so long Comfort.

I wonder if the choreographers get paid. Perhaps they take the publicity in lieu of decent paycheques.
If not, I wish the judges would stop fawning over the choreographers. One judge saying thanks is enough. Particularly if the choreography sucks. |

Courtney is just the absolute worst 'dancer' on the show. Some might say Comfort or Kherington, but the Troll is just painful to watch.
Poor, poor Josh. It just isn't the same watching him dance with anyone but Katee

Her video segments have never really given off a sincere vibe to me, it's just a feeling I get when I see her. I feel nothing when she's done dancing other than "Ok that was well done". I found I always watched Mark when they danced and last night I just didn't see any connection with she and Gev. I know I'm in the minority on my feelings about her. |

I tried to do exactly that when I went back to rewatch it. Treating it as a contemporary piece, I found it technically quite good but lacking in emotion. I can live with that in ballet (which is all about technique, and the face SHOULD be blank), but not with contemporary. |

I don't know if it's because Chelsie's cold, but there was no spark with Chelsie-Gev for me. Chelsie and Mark work because it's like the
dorky, quirky geek is going with the captain of the cheerleaders. Almost like SYTYCD's take on REVENGE OF THE NERDS. (I realize that Mark is probably
gayer than gay, as many of the male contestants often are, but from a character standpoint, he's believable as Chelsie's nerd boyfriend).

Ballet is THE hardest dance. And it HAS to look easy.

It is beyond me how the judges could praise Tyce for that piece of crap. The gimmick of Will blowing out water at the end was the last straw. That's all the whole routine was -- a gimmick. Did they dance it well? Who knows!? The choreographer gave them NOTHING to work with. Their trickiest move was flipping their legs around the side of the boat -- but we see dancers do that all the time without the support of boat or anything else. Hey, all you fans of the "Sit Down You're Rocking the Boat" number. In light of the riotous praise this number received, look forward to the sequel next week! |

First, Jessica looked HOT in that dress.
Now with that out of the way, I thought last night was a meh night. The worst routine was the Broadway boat one. Tyce found a way to come up with a terrible routine, even for his standards. That shot with Will spitting up water at the end was nauseating. The worst couple was Mark/Kherington hands down. Kherington was really lacking in all of her dances, and Mark tried, but he just looked lost. It's going to come down between Comfort and Kherington for elimination on the girls side. As for the guys, this one's up in the air. Personally, I would love it if it were Will, but I think it may come down to Twitch and Mark. I like Twitch and all, but he's shown himself to be the least versatile male dancer remaining. He was good in the hip-hop, but the smooth waltz was underwhelming. It didn't help that he had to pair with partner killer Comfort. The biggest bright spot was Lil C on the judging panel. He was fair and gave criticism without putting down the dancers (MIA), and I think his presence actually mellowed out Mary and Nigel; they weren't as annoying as they usually are. |

I thought Katee's solo sucked. She just twirled around a couple of times with a big cheesy grin on her face.

Loveski, I like your dial idol comments. Keep them coming. They might not alwasy be accurate, but they definitely add to the speculation mix.

Thanks abcdmom! I didn't want to sound like a nutcase that puts a lot of stock into that but I do like noticing the patterns. They're not highly
predictive but it's all I've got this week in terms of how large fanbases are.
I think I need a co-favorite since Mark will be incredibly lucky to last past this week. I'm going to choose Katee (first time ever I am rooting for a woman). KATEEOWNAGE! I agree with you, seaguy, on Chelsie. I like her and she's a great dancer but Mark was the one who kept me interested in them dancing. I don't like the comments that she was carrying Mark. She's highly trained in contemporary, jazz and ballroom so she should have been good in her routines last night. I doubt Mark's ever seen a 2 step before. It would be like Chelsie doing krump. |

Cat looked extra fine last night. I would like to make her purr.

Kherington just isn't good enough for this show. She's like the best dancer at your local dance studio. She can win the local awards, but has no
business on a national/televised show like this. I hope that she and the even more useless Comfort leave in the next two weeks. Katee, Chelsie and Courtney,
on the other hand, are all very versatile, good dancers.
The guys... I don't even really care. I don't hate any of them enough to truly want them gone (like Kherington and Comfort). As long as I don't hate anyone then I can just sit back and watch what happens. |

Why do all the solos suck so much?�
Nobody has given a solo like Allison or Shauna has.� I think Shauna was ridiculously underrated and her solos were the best of the show's four seasons.� The spin she does in this solo is spectacular. |

I don't mean to be rude, but I find it weak and unfair to the show when people on this thread diss a routine because it "didn't live up to my
expectations set by the spoilers."
There have been some great dances and great personalities this season, but you guys are too busy drinking hatorade. What the fuck were you expecting, it's season 4 of a cheesy reality TV show competition! Duh it's manufactured! Every season of this show has had its contrived and manipulated moments; I just turn my brain off and watch for the dancers show their talent. I thought that last night's show was good, but not outstanding. I agree that the boat routine was mondo cheese. Best routines: Katee and Will's Pas De Deux Comfort and Twitch's Hip Hop Katee, Mark, Gev, and Joshua's solos Kherington might outlast Comfort this week, and if she does, she should feel very lucky. |

So it seems my prediction of Twitch and comfort being out might be accurate... |

Switch, I totally agree. Shauna's solos are still some of the best ever on this show for me. She always shoulda went WAY farther than she did.
Katee had an amazing solo. I just love the subtle ways she works her fingers like she's crumbling rose petals in her hands. KATEEPWNAGE is still DOMINATING. <333 Gev's solo was another fantastic one for me, as were Josh/Mark's, and unpopular opinion probably, I really liked Courtney's.
