Here's hoping that Vitolio and Asuka get the boot this week. I think they have a dance that's going to help them out though.

Randi and Evan will both make it to the Top 10, and I think that Jeanine and Phillip will both make it also.
Anyway, on the poll I voted for who I thought would be in the bottom 3, not who deserves to be in the bottom 3.
Who do I think will go home? Kupono and Janette.

I voted for who I thought would be in the bottom 3 too. If it was should I would have had Phillip and Jeanine in there, but it seems unlikely to me they will be.

I thought Nigel was really hard on Jonathan and Karla. He just went on and on about how awful it was. It wasnt the best, but it surprised me how much he really laid into them. And then he praised Vitonia and whats her name? That dance was AWFUL. She danced in slow motion. They seemed to be praising his sensitivity to her crying (hello the cameras are on, what did they expect?) instead of critiquing that dance. They both deserve to go home. And take note, the rock star sign with the tongue haning out? Please stop doing that! Jeanette did it too, and its down right unattractive and a huge turnoff.
Didnt like Caitlin and Jasons dance at all. Seen the paso done hundred times, and a hundred times it was better than that. And those outfits were god awful.
Best of night for me was Melissa and Ade, and Evan and (aaahh forget her name right now) but they both were FANTASTIC. Loved that butt dance! Amazing song and choreography!! So unique! Both of those couples have amazing technique! I also enjoyed the Vienesse Waltz. It moved beautifully. Those were my top 3 dances.
**Randi ...her name is Randi!

We'll see if he apologizes tonight.

I love Randy and Evan - they are so cute and have great chemistry.
I was really shocked at how good of a hip-hop dancer Brandon was.

Bottom 3:
Karla and Jonathan (actually just Jonathan because Karla was good, Jonathan was mushy).
Jeanine and Philip (just Philip, as he's not too versatile a dancer).
Asuka and Vitolio - didn't find them in sync line-wise, as Vitolio's body shapes didn't match Asuka's.
Decent:
Caitlin and Jason - Jason didn't pull his weight on this paso.
Solid:
Evan and Randi - fun and whimsical. They are good performers, even if their dance technique needs work in spots.
Brandon and Janette - didn't like the concept of "rock" chick dancing, but Brandon was good on his hip-hop contribution.
Kupono and Kayla - very lyrical and "dreamy" movements, I was apprehensive about this pairing, as I thought it would hamper Kayla's chances to advance, but at least Kupono didn't have to do any upper body lifts.
Ade and Melissa - most consistent pairing so far. My friend who was in town for a day couldn't get over Melissa's rockin' bod.
Karla and Jonathan (actually just Jonathan because Karla was good, Jonathan was mushy).
Jeanine and Philip (just Philip, as he's not too versatile a dancer).
Asuka and Vitolio - didn't find them in sync line-wise, as Vitolio's body shapes didn't match Asuka's.

Here is who I think will be in the Top 10:
Girls:
Jeannine Mason
Randi Evans
Kayla Radomski
Karla Garcia
Janette Manrara
I'd like to see Asuka Kondoh make it, and I think she would look a lot better with a different partner, but as it stands I don't see her as being "better" than any of the five listed above.
Guys:
Ade Obayomi
Evan Kasprzak <-- mainly because he and Randi are such a good dancing couple
Phillip Chbeeb
Brandon Bryant
Jonathon Platero
And that Koop Island Blues song (from Evan and Randi's Dance), pretty addictive. I've downloaded it on iTunes.

You think Karla and Janette have a better shot to make the top 5 girls than Melissa? I have to look up pictures just to remind myself who those two are and it's already week 3, while Melissa is probably the most memorable female dancer this season so far for me.

I agree. Melissa seems like a lock for top 5 to me. Her ballet/pilates training gives her some of the best lines and technique I have seen. And she is emotionally connecting to her partner and her dances.

On another note, isn't Phillip Chbeeb a lock for the top 10? Despite his lack of versatility, his online following makes me think he'd even make it to the top 4.

I was two for three again... and extremely miffed that Kupono gets to dance another week.
I am afraid that it's Asuka and Jason's time to go.

1 for 3 tonight but at least one of the two that I wanted to go went. Maybe Vitolio will show me something with a new partner but he's probably the next to go along with Karla next week.

Do you think that Asuka and Vitolio were, well, screwing? They seemed pretty emotionally attached all of a sudden. I saw this theory on a blog about the show and paid closer attention tonight - looks that way to me with (as I remember it) Asuka crying for Vitolio when she was voted off.
