They looked like dresses Edyta from DWTS would wear!

I was really shocked Kourtni and Matt were in the bottom 3. They both rocked their solos though - especially Matt.

I too was surprised to see Kourtni and Matt in the bottom 3 over Jessica and Will- I think Jessica and Will's routine and the comments were too accommodating for her. Everyone on this show is there because they have strong technique and versatility- it's up to in the individual dancers to set themselves apart. This season, the caliber of performers has made it so that the dancers really have to go beyond technique in order to do well, but I haven't seen that from Jessica. I think she has been portrayed as a victim too much; yes, she has a superstar partner, but plenty of dancers in the past have partnered favorites and not fallen into the shadows.

Based off of the solos, I agreed with the decision to send Chelsea home. At this stage, it's really all about setting yourself apart and making yourself memorable- and that means taking risks with solos and not just showing off your jumps. I think the mistake some of the dancers make is relying on their technique alone, which, when competing with 15 other dancers of this caliber, just won't cut it. Chelsea's solo was very nice technically, but I think Kourtni's and Matt's solos really broke through that line between nice dancing and art.

Chris really needed to go. I thought his personality was charming at first, but it got to the point where it seemed like he really couldn't take criticism and wasn't really listening to the judges. Being in the bottom three in the past should have woken him up to that fact, but it didn't.

In other news... what was Cat Deely wearing during the results show?! She'd been doing so well this season wardrobe-wise, for her... good lord!

Fleur De Lis' dream episode:

Twitch & Kherington - a Paso Doble with lots of lifts (can they be passionate/serious instead of cheesy and can she dance in heels?)

Courtney & Gev - Krumping (I'd like to see him in his element and see if she can get down)

Comfort & Thayne - Swing or Cha-Cha - something fun that can let personality come out!

Kourtni & Matt - a Hip Hop by Tabitha & Napolean or Contemporary by Mia Michaels - let them show some personality or go home!

Chelsea H. & Mark - Disco - I'd like to see them have some fun.

Jessica & Will - a tango, hip hop, or disco that shows America she's really out of her league...oh wait

Will is unbelievable!!!
Oh my! I couldn't take my eyes away form him during Mandy Moore's routine...youch!
I would love to see what would happen if he was paired with Chelsea H.

I THINK HE'S GOING TO WIN IT!!!

My guess is that Kourtni and Matt will go. Even though I think that both are very good technical dancers, they definitely don't have the WOW factor, and I think Kourtni sometimes looks "heavy" (and I don't mean fat) in the dances. I also think Matt looks too much like a ballet dancer, too upright for many of the choreographed dances.

My favorite dance of the night was Katee and Joshua's Mia Michaels routine. I actually got chills and made my family watch it two more times. I think they really made you feel the emotion of the dance - that assisted running was beautiful and I thought the whole dance was heartwrenching. I think my second favorite was Chelsie and Marks Mandy Moore routine, it was so light and fun and I think they nailed it.

OH, and ditto on the weird dress choice for Kat, it did make her look preggers.

I've only watched intermittently to date, and really thought she was pregnant in that dress! It was horrible!

I'm still rooting for Katee and Joshua. They've been my favorites all season....

Fleur de Lis · #9 07-03-2008, 11:11 AM

I agree with Kourtni looking "heavy." Her moves are not as sharp as they should be and it's like she's dancing a rehearsal, instead of all out. I would love to mix up the pairings. To me, Gev totally brings Courtney down, and she would be amazing with one of the more masculine men.

Last night was just boring. Even my favorites managed to almost put me to sleep.

Kourtni and Matt were just...really bad.

WinniBug · #11 07-09-2008, 10:15 PM

I know I keep gushing about Will...
But he looked like a GOD tonight during his first dance!

I loved the Bollywood routine. I never thought I'd see it on this show. My husband and I go to an Indian restaurant by our house and they have a big-screen TV there where they play music videos from India. I've always been amazed how all those people could dance such intricate dances completely in sync. I thought Joshua and Katee did a really good job with it. There's only a few dances from the show that I've watched over and over again on You Tube...Nick and Kamilah's disco and Heidi and Benji's mambo. This dance will definitely be one of them. It just looked really cool.

I really hope that tomorrow night's group routine is a Bollywood dance. I think all of them dancing it would look awesome.

Well, it wasn't last week, but you got it this week ;-)

I was really shocked to hear tonight's results. I thought Comfort should have gone home. She doesn't have the technique or the versatility. She keeps getting lucky and getting dances in her own style which save her. I'm not sad to see Kherrington go, though, because she was kind of like, "Waaaaahh the judges hate me"; translation: I'm a brat who can't handle constructive criticism now that the competition has gotten tougher.

I didn't want either of the guys to go home, but I was hoping Gev would stay. He is very adaptable, unique, talented, and just a great performer.

My thoughts exactly. Plus, Gev was so funny. I loved his comments about getting to touch Courtney's butt and to lay on Chelsea.

All the guys left are very strong... tough to know what order they will leave in. Twitch has a fun personality and is good in his style, but I still think he is my choice for next to go.
