Thanks for the great recap! I’m a big fan of the podcast, and two is always better than one. (Don’t worry, I left an iTunes comment a long time ago).

Great review…I agree with the order you put the couples in, as much as it pains me, because I just do not like Brandon. The boy irks me for some reason, and since I feel no connection to Melissa, I really wasn’t feeling it. But it was danced well, I guess. (In some ways, I preferred the waltz, but I like Kayla and Evan both a lot, so…..who knows.)

Glad Jeanine did so well; she has quickly become my favorite lady in the competition. Her and Kayla are my favorite girls, too, followed by Randi (who I agree probably deserves to go home tonight), Janette (who is — very — slowly growing on me) and Melissa.

Nice to see Jason finally live up to his inner potential. It’s harder to rank the guys, because I like some of their personalities so much. If I let that influence me, my list would go Evan, Kupono, Jason, Ade and Brandon; if I don’t, Brandon is still last, but Ade may move up to push Kupono and Jason out of the way (but again, it totally depends on which Kupono or Jason shows up that week). I’ll be sad if Kupono goes because he’s been involved in 3 of my favorite routines this season, so maybe it’ll be Ade instead.

Rewatching last nights performances I finally figured out what bothers me about melissa… she never really puts her weight back on her heel. I know it’s the ballet training, but especially in the bollywood it stood out to me. She would put her heel down occasionally, but even then it seemed hesitant. It was like she was wearing high heeled shoes and everyone else was wearing flats. It gives the quality of her dance a very different feel.

It’s great reading your commentary the morning after the show. It just lets the episode live on even longer in my mind. I thought last night was great. This being my first season watching, top 10 is certainly taking the show to another level. In the beginning I thought that I didn’t want anyone to go, but now I think I could let go of Randi and Kupono. The Paso Doble has just not been good for the couples who have had it this year. I would love to see Jeanette and Brandon do the Paso Doble, ahh that would be firey! Speaking of firey, I LOVED Jeanine and Jason’s Travis routine. As it is my first year watching the show, I didn’t know Travis, but he really lived up to the hype. I loved the heart necklace, and the song choice. BEAUTIFUL! I want to watch it over and over!

I think I know who’s going home tonight. I actually voted this time too! Can’t wait for next week and DEFINITELY do some TV Talk podcasts! What else is supposed to get me through my ridiculously boring job?

First things first, it wasn’t the same watching without you hon, let’s never let that happen again, ‘kay?

Second, I wanted to jump through the TV and squeeze Travis after watching that dance (even if the sleeves on his suit were a bit too short, is that a new style? I might be out of the fashion loop). It was gorgeous and I already can’t wait to see it on the tour. They were the perfect couple for it too, the stars cleahly aligned. And by that I mean, Nigel most likely picked those two to dance it but who cares when it was that freaking good.

Third, after Evan’s solo, Murph turned to me with a sh*t eating grin on his face (there was a look of utter disgust on my face) and said something about what you would be doing after that solo that I can not put in print. For me, his dancing is like watching a little person jump around on a trampoline, striking ridiculous poses while they’re in the air.

Evan and Randi, buh bye.

2 podcasts are ALWAYS good! I can watch Jeannine and Jason do that dance over and over and over. Cannot believe that hot kiss at the end – but was it choreographed? I wondered!

Kupono and Randi – I had a “Dancing with the Stars” feel to it. It was totally weak. And sloppy, and just so bad on so many levels.

Ade and Janette – I also saw her being a little to fluid and not hitting the moves tight enough, but other than that, it wasn’t as bad as Kupono and Randi.

My predictions for who’s going home? Randi and Evan. Sorry

Loved the review as always! Though I do love it more in podcast form…I’ll take what I can get!

I would love two podcasts next week. We’ll need to know what you thought of the Joey Potter number

Great review of the dances! Even though I watched them all last night, it’s great to get that refresher for ones I may not have recalled so easily. By far, my favourite dance of the night was performed by Jeanine and Jason – what a gorgeous number! I loved the use of the locket, and though I thought it might be distracting like the chains of previous dances, I totally wasn’t! It was fabulous. Close second is the hip hop by Janette and Ade, and the Broadway by Brandon and Melissa – great pairings!

One thing that really makes me sad is the pairing of Randi and Kupono. I’ll admit Kupono wasn’t my favourite guy to begin with, but after the “Gravity” routine with Kayla last week, I love him to death. However, pairing him with Randi seems to be the kiss of death! LOVED Randi with Evan, but perhaps it was the whole package of cuteness and munchkinness, because alone, or with Kupono, I don’t care for her at all. There seems to be no chemistry between them AT ALL.

My predictions for tonight are that Randi will be going home, perhaps accompanied by Kupono, which would be really sad. Couldn’t they have left him with Kayla?!(I know, I know … that’s not the way it works!)

Hi Kathie I’m with ya on Janette & Ade’s routine. They were not in synch and they weren’t interacting with each other. But put a hot girl in a pair of booty shorts and most people are sold.

And I totally agree on Travis Wall’s routine. I was in tears too; he was my pick to win Season 2. I loved the way the dancers performed it. Jeanine is officially my favorite (at the moment?). MORE TRAVIS PLEASE!!

The African dance was a disaster. Did you notice how the lighting (sort of strobe-like, but in brown tones) was used to make the dancers’ skin tones look more uniform? It didn’t work, and the strobe effect added to the chaos of the routine.

Glad I finally got on the ball and started reading your site

I also agree with your sentiments, Kath. I watched with my dad last night and he told me to get on here for him and say that he loved Jason and Jeanine’s dance so much that he didn’t even mute the tv when Mary was commenting. High praise. High high praise. Thanks for the review!

Your top 3 couple routines are the same as mine. I was just really pleased with everything tonight though as a whole. Even the weaker partner dances and solos were still pretty great.

I agreed with your thoughts on all of the dances, except for the hip hop by Janette and Ade. I really enjoyed their routine. I am hoping that Randi and Evan go home tomorrow night, since we don’t have to vote for couples any longer. It is difficult to pick most favorite or least favorite dancers this year though. I find them all fun to watch and talented but not exactly standout characters. If I had to pick a winner right now, I think I would want Kayla. Her dancing is so beautiful to watch every week.

I just found your site and love it. I agree with you. I however, felt Randi lacks a lot, I haven’t felt her “passion” with Evan or Kupono. I am excited to see the results and see what you have to say in the next few weeks.

“totally agree with pretty much everything you said.”

…Jen – my favorite comment so far

totally agree with pretty much everything you said. Although that African number seemed very difficult, the bollywood number was way more entertaining. Jeanine and Jason were bar none my favorite couple of the night. The paso doble was do off the mark and didn’t work at all. The wig certainly didn’t help. Same deal with the nappytabs number. Then again, it’s rare that I like a nappytabs routine.

I think (hope) you are right about who is going home but who knows how America thinks?

I would flip Melissa & Brandon and Janette & Ade. I used to really like Melissa but she is working my last nerve for some reason and the mix on the music bothered me on the Hair number. I feel like Melissa is a one trick pony with really pretty ballet shoes.

I enjoyed the hip hop by Janette & Ade. I felt like Janette was supposed to be a little less hard hitting than Ade. it worked for me.

I have no words for Jeanine & Jason. I too love Travis and I thought the whole dance was beautiful It reminded me of the Travis/Heidi bench dance that Mia did in S2 and I agree that this will be a dance we see on tour.

The Bollywood dance was great. The guys African thing not so much. Evan was too distracting as the lone short, albino guy in the middle of all those tall dark skinned beauties. And I live Evan! But I bet he’s still feeling lucky he didn’t draw that Russian fold crap last week!

You know I would love 2 car-casts next week. It will be two great shows! I hear Dunkin’ Donuts calling you! Mom! Mom! Mom!
