I mean obviously, Eliana looked amazing, but if you are not familiar with that style would you really think anything of Chehon?

I agree! I sometimes thought that the choreography was not favorable to the strengths of some dancers, and yet disguised the weaknesses of others.

I loved it too – but I agree, the casual viewer (like me) wouldn’t notice the male part so much.

To me, Cyrus is pretty obviously not on the level of the other dancers. On the other hand, I guess he can do something that just about no one else can. I admire his heart and attitude tremendously though, and he is incredibly likeable.
I thought the judges were strangely harsh to Alexa (wasn’t she the dancer from a previous season?).
I was sorry to see Audrey go – loved the Titanic dance. Tiffany grew on me as well.
