Guess I'll start the thread this week.

This should be accurate.


Just by reading the above spoilers, I predict the bottom 3 will be:
Comfort-Chris (sent home)
Jessica-Will
Chelsea-Thayne

Ranger

I think I'll switch Jessica-Will for Kourtni-Matt.

Enjoyed both hip-hop, esp. 2nd one. Samba was great. Rumba was good, disco and quickstep were ok.

Jazz and contemporary were horrible.

Best dress ever by Courtney G, follow by Katee. Love the Katee / Joshua and Chelsie / Mark dances. Will was awesome in the disco routine.

I'm sure we'll see Comfort and Chris and Chelsea and Thayne in the bottom two, -not sure about the third. Otherwise I was impressed to different degrees by the rest. "Twitchington" remains a favorite, and Mark and Chelsie continue to grow on me, too, but, geez, for playing "comic book characters", their costumes truly sucked. However, when I saw Courtney's half-a-dress, all I could say was "Day-ammm!".

Loved loved loved Chelsie and Mark, Katee and Joshua and Courtney and Gev. Think Thanyne and Chelsea, Comfort and Chris and probably Matt and Kortni will be bottom 3. Although I didnt think the disco with Will and Jessie was great, Will is a fantastic dancer. I hope they dont send a couple home, I want to see them mix it up at this point.

Matt and Kourtni were the comic book characters.
But I agree the outfits were horrible.

Courtney wears the half-a-dress almost as well as Karina Smirnoff. Almost.

There was some really fantastic dancing tonight. It's a shame Chris & Comfort and Matt & Kourtni didn't get to participate. At least we didn't have to listen to Mia praise that terrible choreography.

Due to rain fade, I missed Courtney & Gev and Comfort & Chris' performances. Is there any place to legally watch clips?

I usually love watching the quickstep, but Chelsea and Thayne's was pretty hard to watch. I am surprised the judges didn't slam them harder. I have seen better quicksteps on Dancing with the Stars.

For me, from best to last:

Chelsie and Mark - well performed through and through

Katee and Joshua - hot hot hot, smoldering heat

Courtney and Gev - passionate and believable

Twitchington - in sync and fun

Kourtni and Matt - spastic but watchable

Jessica and Will - too many mistakes

Comfort and Chris - underperformed and uncomfortable

Chelsea and Thayne - made it look difficult, lifeless

Katee should never stop smiling. She looks so blah and unappealing with her normal sad sack straight face but when she's performing and getting praise she has that big smile that completely transforms her face beautifully.

I also would like see them split up a couple tonight. They need to get rid of Chris. He's so weak at everything he does and I think it's actually hurting Comfort, who lacks experience and polish but comes off as someone who might have been able to grow if she had a stronger partner.

I agree with Patman's rankings, but I'd swap Jessica and Will with Kourtni and Matt...I thought Jessica and Will were pretty decent...but damn if Chelsie Hightower hasn't become my favourite person on the show...she is just AWESOME. Those top 4 couples are all great, but she really stands out for me - so damn cute too. And Courtney and Katie's dresses were amazing. A really great episode last night IMO.

I'd like to see a couple split but not this week - Chris was lucky he made it this far (he should have gone last week) and Comfort was barely hanging on and I can't think of a single girl who is worse than her. Yes her partner has held her back, but I think the other girls have more potential anyhow... So, see you later Chris and Comfort!

Ranger

and it's
Gosh, all the solos were awful. It's really too bad they didn't send all six home tonight.

Mia's group dance was eh.

magiccmom

Gotta say I was shocked to see Chelsea go. I thought she had a great solo.

das Monkey

I'll miss Chelsea and her crazy lower lip.

zuffy

Really suprised they kept Comfort over Chelsea. I think they just want to keep a breaker around for longer.

Patman

I was hoping Comfort was going to get the boot over Chelsea as well. Thayne's got his work cut out for him with Comfort as his new partner.

DRG

I kind of understand why they did this. While Chelsea was obviously a better dancer than Comfort, Chelsea and Thayne were rather boring as a team and were generating apathy from voters. And they weren't improving, they were getting worse. If the judges had kept them both around, it would have just been running down the clock until their elimination. The pair of Comfort and Thayne may likely end up being a train wreck but at least it will be a fresh train wreck.

clckworang

I pretty much agree with the elimination choices, especially when it comes to Chris. I was a little surprised with Chelsea over Comfort, but I do think Comfort has some potential. But I have to admit that I don't really like Thayne either! He reminds me of a more annoying, hammy version of Benji.

Jadzia

The judges keep getting down on Kourtni for being in the bottom twice, but I think it is more to due because of lack of interest in Matt. I love Kourtni, but I find Matt boring and kind of creepy.

clckworang

That whole ninja mask thing didn't do him any favors either. I'll admit that he is very good technically, but there's just something ... odd in the way he moves. I can't figure out exactly what it is, besides the whole stick in the ass thing.

Goldberg74

Wouldn't it have been great to see Thayne and Kourtni as partners?

Original Desmond

the judges really seem to be having a huge affect on the voting

I find it interesting that this season the three BLACK 'Street' type dancers (yes i know Will isnt really a street dancer) are the strongest and the WHITE classically trained arty type dancers are struggling, total contrast to previous seasons

magiccmom

My top three girls would be: Chelsea Hightower, Kherington, and and Katee. My 4th would be Courtney.

My top three guys would be: Mark, Will and Joshua. My fourth would be Twitch.

I really like Twitch, but I think he falls a touch short compared to those other 3. I would really like Jessica to go home and have Kherington end up with Will and battle those other 2 couples. That would be fun!

mdc3000

^You do know that they break up all the couples 2 weeks from now anyway right? I don't want Jessica to go home - they've got to get rid of Kourtni and Comfort before that happens at least! Kherrington and Will can dance together when it goes down to individual dancers
