SUTUCD - Top 18

OK dance fans, tonight is a special night. I am in Pittsburgh watching with a couple of guest bloggers - apparel rep of the year Lynnie G, Katie B, Lynnie's man Dustin and a newbie on loan from Asia Pacific Brooke L (not me, another Brooke L). So I can't take credit for all these comments.

Wow! Mary Murphy - Betty Rubble live. All she needs is a bone in her hair. Did she just walk off the Bunny Ranch? And a comment from our newbie about 3 dances into the show, "she's really annoying. How have you watched 4 seasons of her?" Couldn't have said it any more simply.

How is it possible that Cat is getting skinnier?

Thayne & Chelsea - Man up Thayne! Not Mandy Moore's best. It was a little low energy for the opening number of the night. Awesome costumes, but that's the only nice thing I can say. Kat: "Now that the judges have ripped you apart, how do you feel you did?" How are you possibly supposed to respond to that?

Mark & Chelsie - Nice rebound Mark. Last week I thought he was too soft, but he killed it this week. He was totally into this from the footwork to the face. Would have liked to see more intensity on Chelsie's face, but the footwork and overall intensity was great. Hey Chelsie, where did those boobs come from? We love Alex da Silva.

Will & Jessica - Surprised contemporary Will is that good at hip hop. Jessica was way too soft - Mia put it best, a little cheerleader-y. Mia said she wasn't even on the stage, I wish she wouldn't be after this week (but I'm afraid Will is going to carry her through until they get split up).

Matt & Kourtni - If they don't kill this fox trot, Mr. stick up his butt deserves to go home. Well, he was very upright. I think he was good tonight. It was graceful and elegant except Kourtni's limp arms.

Gev & Courtney - Thanks Gev for modeling the dancer's belt for us. Loved it! Loved it! Loved it! Chills all around except Dustin who doesn't really like contemporary. Mandy was right that Gev was probably an underdog, but he delivered. This year's Dominic. I'm not a big Courtney fan, but liked her in this dance and her hair looks better wavy. I do not, however, like Mandy Moore's haircut.

Joshua & Katee - What is Nigel doing marching around? And what is Mia doing with Mary's cleavage? Joshua is so fabulous (word - thanks Dustin). What can't he do? Katee is good, but will continue to be overshadowed by him. My BF Tyce delivered an amazing routine once again. I love broadway and I love Tyce.

Marquis & Susie - If I didn't know better, I would never guess Susie is a salsa dancer. She looks awkward and uncoordinated. Cool and very difficult lift. Great choreography by Alex as usual, but I don't have any other positive stuff to offer. Booooooring.

Twitch & Kherington - Other than the fact that that wasn't a waltz, I really liked it. She is so graceful and beautiful. Because of that, Twitch needs a little more extension. What he doesn't need more of is manliness. He's going to win this thing - personality, versatility, skillz. They are georgous together. Nigel + Kherington sittin in a tree... He loves her.

Chris & Comfort - Chris seriously needs to man-up. Maybe they should find a song with a few less swears. Also, it's too slow. Pretty much what you would expect from these two krumping. She looks good and he looks completely awkward - like a tall, lanky white boy doing something new that is out of his comfort zone, no pun intended. Nigel's comments and crotch grabbing were unbelievable.

I might have to start having viewing parties, because this is so much more fun watching with other fans. Thanks for the guest commentary everyone. Thanks for the hospitality, super-yummy pizza and healthy snacks Lynnie and Dustin. I'm going to have to start spending as many Wednesdays as possible in Pittsburgh.
