SUTUCD - Top 14

Yea! Two dances tonight. When I saw the show was 2 hours, I was afraid we would have to endure extremely long video packages and judge rambling. Lucky us - it should be the opposite if they are to get through this much dancing and pay the bills.

Jessica & Will - (JIVE) Nothing new here. Will is great and Jessica sucks. Boring! The trick where she did the flip over his back and through his legs was fantastic, but otherwise not good. Again, looked like she learned the steps and executed them, but with no performance quality. Nigel said what I've been saying all along - she's going to be in big trouble without Will in a few weeks.

Comfort & Thayne - (BROADWAY) New partnership and a new choreographer. Their motive is to not be in the bottom 3 anymore. I don't think they did it with this one. It really did nothing for me and I love broadway. There was nothing unique or exciting about the choreography or their performance. It needed to be bigger. Not getting me to pick up the phone (not that I ever really do).

Kourtni & Matt - (HIP HOP) Hello Mr. Awkward. This was horrible for Matt and I hate saying that because I really want to like him. The bandana under the hat made it even worse. Even though the music and tone of the routine was soft, they still needed to have punch and energy. Nothing popped or hit hard. It was just boring.

Digging Nigel tonight. He and I are completely on the same wave length. And he's less creepy than usual. Can we please raise the bar now?

Chelsie & Mark - (JAZZ) Loved it! Between Mandy Moore's fantastic choreography, Mark's amazing movement quality and Chelsie's all around likeability, what's not to like? These two are so hot and they always deliver. Maybe I will pick up the phone now, but only if they don't do some cheesy gestures when they put their numbers up. Oh well, wishful thinking.

Kherington & Twitch - (PASO DOBLE) Is this the dance that's going to bring them down? Nope. Like Chelsie and Mark, they can do no wrong. This was hot, passionate and powerful. The costumes were very cool - I loved Kherington's boots and gloves (and Twitch's bare chest).

Katee & Joshua - (CONTEMPORARY) Well, I hope they made Mia proud because it was fantastic. I have loved Joshua from the beginning of this competition and loved him tonight too, but Katee totally blew me away. This was a stand out performance for her. She was amazing. She completely surrendered herself to the choreography and to Joshua. It might be too early to say just yet, but this might have been Mia's dance of the season. It's almost like winning the lottery for the couple who gets one of these routines from her. Loved the music - Hometown Glory by Adele. Oh yeah, I love Katee's hair.

Courtney & Gev - (HIP HOP) I don't really have anything to say about this. Maybe that says something in itself.

This is an interesting season. The 7 dancers who are good are amazing, but the others are completely forgettable.

ROUND 2 - ding! ding!

Jessica & Will - (LYRICAL JAZZ) Fantastic partner work and the best performance we've seen yet by Jessica. Thank you Mandy, great choreography and there's nothing wrong with a shirtless Will.

I SPY BENJI SITTING BEHIND MANDY - IS THERE A LITTLE WEST COAST SWING COMING OUR WAY?

Comfort & Thayne - (SMOOTH WALTZ) Nothing much to say here either. It was nice, but not that memorable. Think they need to prepare their solos.

Kourtni & Matt - (MAMBO) Needed more snap. It just seemed like they were sort of going through the motions. The lift in the beginning had so much potential, but didn't deliver.

Chelsie & Mark - (FOX TROT) That was a surprise - Paul Anka doing Bon Jovi. Very good fox trot. Obviously, this is Chelsie's style so she was great and if you give Mark a character to play, he will deliver. And he did.

Kherington & Twitch - (CONTEMPORARY) Wow! Mia is really on tonight. Loved it and I love them. Their connection is so great and the camera blocking was perfect for that routine. I love that their connection continues after the music ends. Yes, Tabitha - awesome, awesome, awesome, awesome, awesome, awesome. Oh, I love the costumes too.

Katee & Joshua - (WEST COAST SWING - Yea!) Whoa! Who let the air out of Katee's tires? She was so low energy and super tentative. That was a total let down. I would have loved it if Benji and Lacey were performing it. OK, clearly I saw something completely different than the judges here.

Courtney & Gev - (BROADWAY) Didn't love it, didn't hate it. Didn't care about it. How could Mary possibly say they are headed for the finals? Maybe because she's an idiot.

Nigel, if you're listening, everyone hates Mary. Please sack her (and her "massive chompers").

Bottom 3 - Comfort & Thayne, Kourtni & Matt, Courtney & Gev. Matt is definitely going home - the judges won't tolerate him anymore.

BEST SHOW THIS SEASON!

Happy birthday Lynnie! Hope you had a good birthday. This is the cake I would have baked you if we were in closer proximity. Happy 4th everyone. Enjoy the long weekend.
