Russell killed that Bollywood number. I love him. And boy howdy is it easy to see how Ashleigh's shoulder popped out.
Um, well, we listened to aggressively cheerful music sung by people chosen for their ability to dance. Then we ate cookie dough, and talked about boys.

I think Kathryn is the most underestimated woman on that dance floor. She has made every partner look good. She moves into lifts effortlessly, she's fast on her feet, and she is just so present in her role. I really love her.

I think NappyTabs ran out of ideas in the year 2000. I absolutely HATED that routine and saw no point in it.

I think a prerequisite of being a good Bollywood dancer is being a good hip-hopper or krumper. Russell was on point for that puppy; I've never seen crisper, cleaner moves and Bollywood is really demanding that way. Excellent job!

Tonight was really good overall, save that NappyTab number--blech. I blame the choreographers, though, and not the dancers (although Ellenore could have hit her moves harder).
SailAweigh, what you just said about Kathryn is so true! Also, I think that the partnering thing works for Jakob, as well. He made Ashleigh look terrific throughout the first half, and has made his partner look equally great the last two weeks, all while making sure his own skills are not hidden. That waltz with Mollee was the best I've seen on this show, and that Broadway number was really well done, just so far about anything that Tyce puts out in his attempts at Broadway.

Disco. Ugh. And a horrible song for it. The pace of the song didn’t match the choreography at all. I’m worried that Kathryn got paired with Ryan, but boy that girl can move her body.
And f*ck. Mollee gets Jakob?!? At least they got waltz. I liked the choreography okay, except for the way she was holding up her arms, which I assume was intentional but looked clumsy. And wow, SYTYCD, way to ruin Vanessa Carlton for me.

So I guess Travis Wall watched Mr & Mrs Smith on cable recently? Liked the dance though.

I totally agree. I do not care for Mollee at all, but I thought she and Jakob were just perfect in that waltz.

Still not getting the judges' love affair with Mollee. Especially since I really saw for the first time what someone said earlier about her being like a sack of potatoes on lifts.
But she has gotten better for me so I think she should stay over Ashleigh. Would they really let someone who didn't perform through? That really sucks. But, since they set the precedent with Noelle, I guess they have to.
So I guess I'm hoping that the married couple both go home.
