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.
Don't belong. Dangerous, like you. Can't be controlled. Can't be trusted. Everyone could just go on without me and not have to worry. People could be what they wanted to be. Could be with the people they wanted. Live simple. No secrets.

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.

I would have a hard time choosing Ellenore, Kathryn, Russell or Jakob over each other. They were all so good, and have consistenly been all along!

Oh lord this Gordon Ramsey thing is painful. Allyson is still adorable, but no, just no. Thank heavens it looks like a one-off (hopefully a failed pilot like Bourdain's horrific dinner with friends show that he apologized for).

can someone explain to me how 6 choirs can sing 1 song each and the broadcast program takes 2 hours?
someone, do the math and show your work.

I was pretty disappointed by both Ellenore and Russell tonight. Not so much their dancing, but their lack of connection. And Russell was not well served by his choreographers.
Ashleigh and Ryan did well, but Jakob and Kathryn in their routine together showed they are in a separate league.
I want Kathryn to win, but I'd be happy with anyone but Ashleigh and Ryan.
