um.

I did not think Russell could get hotter and then hot damn.

There are actual fucking flames on the screen behind him. I don't know who that woman is dancing with him. All I see is Russell and FLAMES.

Damn what a nice chest.

It's hard to choose, tonight! I've really loved all the dances, pretty much. I don't think either Ryan or his FP really belong there, though they've really picked up on other styles, but the other four are just head and shoulders above them. I don't care which of the four wins, I love them all.

Wow, the Marrieds got a hell of a gift from Travis!

Thrive to spite them

I'm still not a fan of Ashliegh but that was lovely to watch the two of them dance and see the emotion, especially afterwards when Ryan seemed so overwhelmed.

I think Gordon is going to be doing some kind of cooking live show. According to the DVR it's a live cook along show.

Gordon Ramsey is robbing us of a 2-hour finale! I hates him, I does!

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."

quester, don't you think it is the other way around? Fox needed to fill the time and asked Ramsay to step up?

Jakob and Catherine were lovely. Just wow.

No, I don't really care what the reason is, I just wanted more dancing and no cooking!

Agreed! The only problem with tonight is that they threw the dances at us so fast, it was hard to really digest them and come to an overall opinion on them. I want to say that Russell really killed it, tonight, particularly in that last dance. But, I totally groked on Ellenore big time. I'm in the wiffle-waffler corner.

Man, I really loved all of the dancers tonight!

Ryan looked like he was trying to look vacant and Ellanore just was vacant.

Yes, this!! I could see what Nigel was saying about how he couldn't connect with that piece, but I really liked it. And Ellenore was just perfect for it.

That piece for the Marrieds had me crying at the end, I'll admit it. They were just beautiful together, so wonderful.

Nigel was totally right about Jakob needing to get into a troupe, because it'd be the perfect showcase for him and his talents. And I can't imagine any group out there would reject him after seeing this season.

As much as that paso was not Russell's style, he so nailed the rest of the numbers that I think he's got this sewn up, although I could be wrong. I really can't guess with any certainty who is going to win tomorrow, but I did vote a few times for Ellenore, a few more for Russell (who had a few busy signals while I was calling), and even more for Jakob, whom I'm hoping comes in the top three, at least.

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."

I think that Jacob probably was the best overall (with perhaps Ellenore tying or coming in a close 2nd). I love Russell, J & E are in a different league.

I loved 2 of Catherine's dances, but her hip hop kind of sucked. The judges didn't mention the time or two she fell out of a move.

Ashleigh was bad in her ballroom. I can't believe the judges praised that.

Ryan was pretty good generally, but not as stellar as Catherine when she was on.
