Let me start tonight by saying a tearful goodbye to Susie the high school teacher who is not even a good club dancer and her geometry student Marquis. Did anyone else think that was a bit of a sick pairing?
Judges - I love Adam. I'm glad Mary's wearing something that covers her boobs. Nigel has giant fake teeth.
Kherington & Twitch - Well, so far I'm not a big fan of Napoleon & Tabitha's choreography and this didn't help me like them any more. Side note - did anyone see that they have a show on TLC where they choreograph crazy wedding dances? How many episodes could that concept really have in it? Back to Kherington and Twitch. Did Kherington take face choreography lessons from Mark Balas? I didn't love the routine, but they pulled it off. I do love this couple, though. I actually think it's a little bit of an unfair pairing (but that doesn't mean I don't want to see more of them). They are both so good individually and unbelievable together.
Courtney & Gev - I didn't really like much about this awkward rumba. I didn't like the music, her costume, their stiff performance. I actually did like the choreography, but it was hard to see.
Comfort & Chris - The secret Chris should have revealed about Comfort is that she can dance -beyond hip hop or krumping. I thought she was fantastic and out danced Chris (again). Loved the choreography, loved the performance, but can it keep them out of the bottom? Not sure.
Apparently the judges are not in agreement with me so far tonight.
Jessica & Will - Oh, that was unfortunate. A bit of a train wreck. Before the huge mistake on the missed lift, then the complete dismantling after that, I thought Will looked like he was dancing in a disco having a good time and Jessica looked like she learned some choreography and did the steps. I just don't see in her a dancer I can get on board with. He will continue to carry her, but first chance she gets to be eliminated, she should be gone.
Am I watching the same show as the judges? Feel free to tell me I'm smoking crack if you disagree with me because I'm confused right about now.
Kourtni & Matt - Hello Sonya. Welcome to the show. I think I like you. This was really fun and they performed it very well. They had good energy and captured the character of the routine. I haven't really cared for this couple until now, but I really liked them tonight. More Sonya please.
Chelsea & Thayne - That was really hard choreography and they did a good job. I thought they were appropriately in character and looked great. But did they survive the kiss of death? Few fare well on a quickstep on this show.
Chelsie & Mark - What kind of contract to Tabitha & Napoleon have here? Do they only work in twos? That said, same reaction I had to them the first week. Didn't like their first routine, but loved the second one. I loved the characters and emotion, the mix of the song, the choreography and I loved Chelsie and Mark. I didn't love Chelsie's costume. Wardrobe needs to be careful with her - there's something strange about her body (not bad, but strange). I was really wrong about Mark the first week. He is fantastic and they are great together.
Katee & Joshua - Hot! Hot! Hot! I love Joshua. He continues to amaze me - this week, the way he moves his hips. And Katee, is she a hustler or what, playing all innocent in the video package. She was totally sexy. Did they miss a lift toward the end? If not, there was some weird choreography there. What is Mary yapping about? Lady, shut it!
Good finish. I was not too keen on the show early on tonight.
Danger zone: Courtney & Gev, Comfort & Chris, Chelsea & Thayne.

Ok, Brooke. I have thoroughly enjoyed your commentaries thus far, and clearly, you're as much a fan as me. But I've got to add my two cents and a couple of areas of disagreement:
Napoleon and Tabitha - I have loved every one of their routines. Unlike those two hip hop chick partners, I love their choreography - it's got such a romantic twist!
Chelsie and Mark - love this couple. Chelsie's so cute and spunky, and Mark's quirky personality and passion for dance make him so endearing and attractive! Definitely one of the top couples.
Katee and Joshua - definitely a hot dance, but, being a latin dancer myself (just a "street dancer," of course), I cannot agree that their technique was there. Katee's hip movement didn't seem natural at all. Despite that all, their expression during the dance made it hot and almost made me not notice their lack of technique.
