Damn it! You know what? I'm sick of this crap. I'm sick of being the guy who eats insects and gets the funny syphilis. As of this moment, it's over. I'm finished being everybody's butt monkey!

Okay, Dominic really impressed the hell out of me. I'd known he'd grown over the space of the past weeks, but, dude. Good job.

Wow, I really thought Dom did a great job. He covered very well for the fall. I think I am going to like this twist, even though I don't like the routine itself.

LOVED Tyce's Ailey moment. Beautiful. This top ten is sooo talented.

Really hated that dance. The choreography, that is. And Sabra outdanced Kameron, totally.

So I am really loving the different takes on the solo choreo. (Still hating the actual choreo, though) Pasha is my least favorite so far (hands like claws - gah). Again, blown away with the talent level of this season's cast. I think overall they're much better than S2 and somewhat better than S1. I can imagine lots of folks in 11-20 who would've torn that routine up. (Whither Chuy?)

Love the samba. Although Lacey is pulling faces when she should be looking sexy. Between Benji's choreography and Dimitri's I like this much better.

Okay, this is the problem. I'm getting bored of watching the solo routine. By the time we're done with all 10, I'm not going to remember a single one of them.

Thrive to spite them

This solo has been nagging at me, and I finally realized what it reminds me of -- an ice skating routine by some guy at the Olympics maybe. It was done to a James Bond song and the skater was Bond and it was very literal -- the skater mimed boxing, he mimed throwing a grenade, and the grenade going off, and a few other things. The hand moves to make the world and change remind me of that.
