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

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.

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

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.

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 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

).

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.

Mandy Moore is not bringing it so far this season
