Death is your art. You make it with your hands day after day. That final gasp, that look of peace. And part of you is desperate to know: What's it like? Where does it lead you? And now you see, that's the secret. Not the punch you didn't throw or the kicks you didn't land. She really wanted it. Every Slayer has a death wish. Even you.

Thrive to spite them

THANK YOU! for calling out the Lack of Rumba!

There was no dancing. seriously I'm sure it was to hide a lack of skill.

Yeah, but it was hella sexy. And I don't particularily like either of them (heck, I hate Lauren).

When they replayed bits during judging, I agreed with Mary (especially about the hips), but during the thing, I was mesmerized, which....is kinda the point, no?

I missed most of it I'll have to watch it again.

I was so not impressed. I've loved some of her routines (I really liked the Park Bench one), but this did nothing for me. Kept expecting them to slip on the flowers. Didn't seem much dancing at all. Bleh.

you have no magic in your heart.

I kid! it was actually really boring. i haven't loved a Mia routine since Lacey and Kameron's from the season premiere.

Yeah, Mia seems to be in a slump this season. I agree the early one had power, but since then, not so much.

Sabra and Pasha's quick step was wild. I was a little worried about them a couple of times but they pulled it off.

Ok, Danny and Sara have all of my love tonight. And Shane rocked the old skool hip hop routine. And the costumes were perfect. Sideways Kangol, puffy spray paint letters, baggy CrossColours jeans. Maybe if they had a judge on the panel who knew even the teensiest little bit about hip hop, they would've gotten a fair critique. And it could not have been farther away from their tango (which was good, but I thought a little sloppy in places). Sara is still a very heavy dancer for me, but she's grown tremendously. (Agreeing with the Hairspray dink. Soo annoying). Anyway, loved me some them.

I thought Pasha and Sabra were ten flavors of cute tonight. Again agreed with Nigel (say wha?) that Sabra had a little trouble in the Quickstep. But Pasha is a rock star as a partner and he totally carried her through like a champ. I really do love Sabra, though. Have to keep reminding myself that she's been dancing for four years. FOUR YEARS. So unfair.

Did not enjoy Neil and Lacey. Neither routine did it for me. The latin jazz (and what is that again) was neither latin enough nor jazzy enough for me. And someone over on TWOP labeled Neil a hunchback and it is perfect. God that posture, all slumped over. It bugs to no end. Thought Lacey was yards better than him in this, but both of them were extremely lacking. And I hated the Mia routine. Pure hate. Where was the dance in that dance? They walked around the stage, picked up some flowers and threw them at each other. A couple tour jetes, a couple chesnais turns and a whole lotta running. Yuck.

Last and very much least were Dom and Lauren. She is just a big black hole of suck. I thought Dom was hitting the krump as it had been choreographed. It wasn't the frantic, kinda fast-paced krumping from something like Rize. It had a very smooth edge with certain moves hit hard, which Dom achieved. Lauren looked like she was having a seizure. And the partnering bit in the middle was ridiculous. And no, Nigel, Lauren didn't cover brilliantly. She almost fell on her ass . . . and it showed. As for the rumba . . . to quote my friend Hung, "My monkey could do that." I would like a little more dance in my dance, thank you. And the little bit of dancing they did do, looked like both of their legs were gonna snap off.

Personal bottom four is easily Dom, Lauren, Lacey and Neil. The real bottom four will be Dom, Lauren, Danny, Sara, I think. Danny better not go home. That's all I know.
