If their contracts with the show said they had to choreograph two shows, then I can understand them forcing the show to give them all their dances in a single week instead of having to devote multiple weeks to the show. No disrespect to Dave Scott, Shane, Louis, Tyce, or JM, but when a choreographer has to choreograph four dancers in styles that are not their own in just three days on this show, inevitably at least one of the dances is going to be panned. They've done this every year. And it's not like the choreographers work with the dancers for three days, anyway - they work with them for a few HOURS, and beyond that, the dancers are on their own. There is plenty of time in the week for a choreographer to devote a couple of hours to two pairs. The question is, do they have the creativity to create two [equally] brilliant pieces? If not, one of them will pale in comparison... From this week's performances, I do have to agree with Toni that it was very brave of Jean-Marc to choreograph a Viennese waltz without shoes. The dance seemed off without the classic heel-leads that are so evident with shoes, and Mary definitely noticed that something was wrong with that picture. It was a good performance, but the lack of shoes mave have caused other technical deficiencies to stand out even more, and may have contributed to Jason's flimsy upper body (not that that problem would have been automatically fixed with shoes anyway, though). The waltz was shoeless, but Jason wasn't IN the waltz. He and Caitlin wore shoes in their Paso Doble, didn't they?

Plus her routine was nothing to write home about. I'm glad I'm not the only one who thought the Caitlin/Jason paso doble was awful. And I thought the Sabra/Neil paso doble was overrated and overpraised. There was no chemistry and passion between the two. I think Caitlin is holding Jason back big time, although I didn't think he was that great either. She has beautiful lines and great movement, but it looks like she dances with no confidence and assurance in her abilities. Maybe it's time for her to go. Speaking of holding someone back, Jonathan is the biggest albatross on the show. It looks like last week was an anomaly and not the norm. Karla was solid in the hip hop, but he was atrocious and out of sync. He lucked out in the first week because Tony was there with him. If he's there again, he won't be so lucky, or at least I hope he isn't. I also hope that Nigel's "bet" on them landing in the bottom three doesn't backfire and spare them from potential elimination. While I'm on the judges, Nigel was a huge pain in the ass, and although she still sucks as a judge, Toni was nowhere near as bad as she was last year with her street obsession. Bottom three predicitons: Karla/Jonathan Asuka/Vitolio Caitlin/Jason Out of the girls, I think Karla is in the most danger, because although she's been better than Asuka and Caitlin IMO, those two seem to have the judges support, plus they were shown more than her. She (Karla) may have to have a superb solo in order to stand a fighting chance; if it's anything like the first week, she's as good as gone, although I think Asuka and Caitlin should leave before her. As for the guys, it should easily be Jonathan, although there's a slight chance Vitolio may be the one axed instead.

I do not think she is a Dragon Lady, as do some (wrong race, anyway). I DO see her as lacking on honest emotion, weird to look at, and twisty in the legs. Asuka has a strange appeal to me. I can't keep my eyes off her.

I like other parts of couples, but I don't like them together. I like Evan. Not too fond of Randi although I did like her untitard girl t-shirt she had on in the package thuogh. I like Vitolio but not Asuka. I like Jason for the most part not catilin. My bottom 3 predictions are: Karla/Jonathan Caitlin/Jason Kayla/Kupono I think that Caitlin will go. Karla had a great solo last time. Caitlin Does tricks & there is no way that they will let Kayla go. As for the Guys, Jonathan is gone. Even if Vitolio is in the bottom, they like him too much to get rid of him. I think that most of the couples are mis matched & had they been somewhat different, we would like different couples. Question: Does Brandon remind anyone of Carlton Banks(Fresh Prince)? When he was doing the dialing numbers with the fingers it hit me.

That's why I like when she choreographs. She can't be on the panel. That, and her routines are usually awesome. I liked the waltz too, but I have to step off the Kopono love train now. I simply can't handle a male that queeny. If he didn't talk or move, he'd be so great. Perhaps I have some self-loathing issues to work out, and that's fine, but he makes me so uncomfortable I want to crawl inside myself. I find it hard to take him seriously when he's dancing with a woman because of this. He needs to be like Joshua last year who made me believe he was into Katie during the dances even though I knew he wasn't. Last Edited By: yoshi 06/25/09 9:13 AM. Edited 1 times.

I think the music choice wouldn't have been so bad if the dancers were hitting it harder. If a real professional latin dancer did it, it would have been fan-frickin-tastic! It's like the paso that Jesus & Sarah did to we will rock you. It worked better, because they were better at the dance & the personality to pull it off. I understand tradition, but I am also all for stepping out of the box. But if you stepp out of the box or do something different to out do people than it just becomes annoying. I liked Mia's piece this week & also the group number. I loved the park bench as well, but I found the flowers boring. I think she is one of those who is trying to do something that is note worthy. But the simple ones seem to work the best for her for me (Thanks Randy Jackson). Maybe she's in a better mood these days. I found after Ramalama in season 2, everyone has been trying to top Wade Robson. He is a great choreographer, very unique. I don't think he is about trying to out do anyone, if you watch other routines he does, there is always a similar element. But after everybody went gaga for Ramalama, I think all the other choreographers felt they needed to do more avant-garde stuff. I think Mia may have been one of the people who fell into that trap more than anyone else. Maybe she's sorted it out now.

Have they tried this before? This is my first season watching so forgive my ignorance if that's already been tried.That would be incredibly interesting to watch and it wouldn't have to be all homoerotic (ahem, Nigel). The bottom girl group and guy group would then dance for their lives, with one going home. There are same sex pairings, Gregoire, but not til final 4. Once it's final four they have each guy dance one dance with each girl, then there's one dance with the girls and one with the guys. At least that's what it was the two seasons I watched (two most recent).

Nigel's overdone bashing of him makes him even more interesting. That and his ripped pants. Of the rest I don't care who goes or who wins. I will likely stop watching when Philip is let go. The season drags on too long and we have the Canadian version starting up in August and another US one in the fall. Just too much for me.

The judges overpimped fuckng Twitch but they are doing that this year with shitastic dancers like Jonathan and one of the generic blondes. They do it every year, so why should this year be any different). No one stands out for me. Not a single one. Except for maybe Brandon and that's only because I keep expecting him to break out into a Carlton Banks dance routine to It's Not Unusual by Tom Jones :/

It hasn't even been close...

O Fortuna was bad enough, but I've seen them dance it to shit like Eye of the Tiger on Dancing with the Stars. A few years ago, the world champions in Latin ballroom dancing at Blackpool danced a Paso to music from Bram Stoker's Dracula. The key to ballroom dancing is not to pay attention to the notes, but rather to the tempo and the beats. Oh, I'm not saying it can't or shouldn't be done. It's just an aesthetic preference of mine. For me, it's like watching flamenco dancing to polka music.

I'd be thrilled to see Miss Piggy & any guy to go that isn't named Pono or Jason.

I would look forward to making sure I was home to watch it last year (and the previous seasons) but this year, if I see it great, if not...meh. I'm simply not rooting for anyone. I would also note that none of the couples seem to have any chemistry.

This week, Nigel says how amazing Phillip is in his own style, and askes him to put more into it. He never used his usual "too feminine" or "no contact with your partner." He just said Phillip needed to sharpen up... which was right on.
