I am so bummed that Gev went home. It's like a repeat of losing Dominic last year.

I wasn't as impressed with the group routine as I was with Katee and Joshua. Oh well.

Anyway, Comfort is like a cat with 9 lives.

I was happy to hear Mia really crack down on someone. I think this show tends to be TOO nice. I really dislike Jessica, but I thought the first number was fantastic. The second, however, was abysmal. I have taken all of two dance classes in my life, but even to my untrained eye I could see how lackluster her quickstep was. The leg movements weren't sharp at all. I do think Will did poorly in the number as well.

I don't like when the judges criticize for something that the contestants have NO control over - such as costuming things - I forget whose jacket was criticized last night as bunching up and distracting.

I am also sick of the judges just worshipping the choreography. I'm sorry, but some of the choreography this year has stunk, but yet the contestants get the flack for it. They can only dance it so well- they can't change the steps!

I was actually surprised to hear Mia praise dancers last night...she's been a little harsh this season, I think

That was Will's quickstep jacket....and they criticized Chelsie and Thayne for their "joker" costumes one week...yet when the girls wear "half a dress", Nigel gives them brownie points. NOT FAIR!

It seems this season is a lot heavier on the choreographer praise than before, ...I just thought about this... - maybe they're trying to keep them around? They've lost 4 - Brian, Dan, Shane and Wade.

LOVED the Indian number last night. So fun!

Shane still does the show. He did initial judging for SYTYCD and he's choreographed group numbers. He says he works for both shows in interviews.

Wade's been choreographing for Criss Angel's Cirque Du Soleil show out in CA. He also has a song on Carly Simon's April released cd. So he's just busy. I don't think SYTYCD lost him really. He was pulled over to start with b/c he was choreographing for Am. Idol's Live tour and since that's Nigel's show too, it makes sense....

I think the show is better for not having Dan, imho. His choreography always lands the contestants in the bottom 3. Now Brian, Shane and Wade...their choreography is great. Shane and Wade have done some group dances on this season. Rumor has it that Brian had a falling out with the producers and will probably never return to SYTYCD.

I loved the Bollywood number also. Can you imagine having to jump like that? It made me tired just watching

I thought Will and Jessica's first number was beautiful, like a dance put on by the ballet company here. That is obviously her genre (and his), too bad she hasn't been able to really shine in the others.

Even with Will & J's dismal quick step (why do they even do those! noone but the ballroom people have been able to do one that even remotely looks right), I think Comfort and Thayne are leaving. Both their dances weren't great (although I liked the hip/hop one ok - poor Thayne, he just isn't very "buck" haha).

Mandy Moore is not bringing it so far this season

AGREED! There is some stellar choreography, so a blah piece really stands out.

I also think Comfort and Thayne will go. I can't wait to see who will rise to the top (and fall to the bottom) when the partners are switched up!

Yay for live bloggers!

(Highlight for the Bottom 3)

Comfort and Thayne
Will and Jessica
Kherington and Twitch

I'd be happy with 2 of the 3 going home.

What was that thing Jessica was wearing? I thought she was going to pop out of it any time.

Well, that was predictable.

Hahaha!! Exactly what I was thinking!!!

That was my suggestion last week or the week before.....I don't know why they couldn't just do that!
