I do remember Randi/Evan by name - they're one of my favorites. Caitlyn and Jason are another favorite couple of mine. I enjoyed both their numbers last night.

Janette and Brandon did the Dave Scott "Rock vs. Hip Hip" routine.

I really like Caitlyn and Jason - have since auditions - but they've fallen off since the Bollywood routine. I personally didn't think the Paso Doble was that great.

Agree, I thought the paso was pretty bad. Compare that paso to one done on Dancing with the Stars and you'll see what I mean.

I liked the rock & hip hop and the butt dance a lot, and I liked the broadway one, too. I thought the first hip hop dance was lame and pretty forgetable.

I cannot put a finger on the reason, but I have to admit that I just don't care for Kayla at all. I don't necessarily dislike her, but I can't figure out why the judges drool over her that much. Meh. I do love Melissa, the ballet dancer. I hope she sticks around for a while!

Ditto on all counts.

Thank you! I don't get it, either. My favorite girls are probably Janeane, Randi and Caitlin.

And I'm glad Nigel said what he did to Phillip last night. He does have a lot of appeal, but he just doesn't have the skills. If he sticks around much longer dancing the way he has, everyone (especially the other contestants) are going to be frustrated and question why. It really makes me wonder how in the world he made it into the top 20. Like I pointed out before, it seems as if they handed out a lot of second chances this season, and to people who really didn't deserve them. I do like Phillip, and I love watching him do what he does well, but this just isn't the right competition for him.

Agreed...unless I think someone is out-of-this-world fantastic, I hate it when judges kiss someone's bootie so much. I tend to dislike those people simply because they are receiving semi-undeserved praise. This goes for other realtiy shows, too (Idol, ANTM, Runway, etc).

Agreed, again. This is also the way I was feeling about Asuka...she was getting too many chances and I felt like they kept keeping her because she was a ballroom dancer. I know it's important for the show to have different style dancers (especially when it comes to dance-for-your-life solos...because it's boring to watch six contemporary ones), but I don't think it's fair to the other contestants who perform better week to week.

I think the right two dancers went home last night...I really hope Jason and Caitlyn have better luck and skill next week because I don't want to see them in the bottom again!
