DC didn't get to see the Latin jazz.

I love this quick fire

How much do I love CJ just calling Hung (spaced so you can't figure out who) a douche.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I was just thinking about how they did this quickfire before, and I loved it! (That was on TC first season, right? I can't remember.)

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.

Sinmce we caption the show, several employees (including Alibelle) were able to go see the taping of this episode. They reported it was a lof of fun.

Yay, CJ and Trey! I really enjoy those two.

Howie and Joey are wearing verrrry thin. They should go somewhere and have a blowhard cook-off. I still love Hung, even though he's not half as good as he thinks he is, shit talks people constantly and blames others for his mistakes. He had me at monkey.

Possibly. I didn't watch the first season.

It was a heck of a lot more fun than the palate test they did on HK. That said, I enjoyed it only marginally more here than I did on HK. Thought that one green fruit was really odd looking. Looked like a big old green booty.

Argh -- if there was one thing I was NOT going to do tonight, it was watch the supersized TC. I can't walk away!

Woah. Didn't even realize it was past 11. Damn fine episode, TC. Now if we could just get rid of Howie, it would be a sunshine day.

Nana korobi, ya oki. (Fall down seven times, stand up eight.) ~Yuzuru Hanyu/Japanese proverb

Pasha and Sabra totally captured my attention tonight. Mostly Sabra, but Pasha kept up with her in the Broadway and then made her look even better in the Quick Step, so I gotta give him mad props. The unison and the tight positioning really brought that dance into the stratosphere. There were times it looked like you couldn't even slide a quarter between Pasha and Sabra, which is the way it should be. It's the first ballroom dance I felt they didn't have to dumb down even one little bit. Sabra has got my heart, now. I want to see her win. Pasha's still a cutie, though, he'll be here another week.

I like Danny and I think he can partner with absolutely anybody, but there are some dance forms that he just doesn't look right in. It's not that he doesn't get it technically, it's that somehow it always looks like ballet even if it's not supposed to be. That's how his Hip Hop looked to me tonight. I think it's the tendency to point his toes at the end of every movement, even if it's supposed to be flat footed. Even if he doesn't, he looks likes he's thinking about it. Sara just didn't thrill me tonight at all. I didn't feel her in the Tango and it really had no heat for me. Danny was burning up the stage and Sara was raining all over it turning it to mud. It made me wish Anya was still partnering Danny. I think Danny is safe this week, not sure about Sara.

I haven't lost the Dominic love. But, he is so out of element at this point, everytime they put him in a ballroom dance they have to dumb it down further and further. I think he's an incredible B-boy and I think he can work with quite a few of the other forms quite well, but the ballroom is going to kill him. Yeah, I think he'll be in the bottom four tomorrow for sure. I wish I could say the same for Lauren, but the boys are going to vote for her costume in the Rumba.

Personally, I liked the Mia routine. I watched it twice and it made me tear up each time. I would have liked to see a few more actual dance moves, but I think Neil and Lacey did a good job getting the emotion across. That being said, I think they're both going to be in the bottom four because that's the only time I've felt any emotion from them. Their Latin Jazz had a lot of passion, from the choreography, but no heat between the two at all. They spent more time flirting with the audience than with each other. Whether or not that will turn the audience off of voting for them is another matter.
