Hey, preaching to the choir. I thought our Lady of the Perpetual Sea Breeze was the real deal until the Divine Miss J walked right through that door and right into my ass—which is where my heart is…physiologically. I could show you an x-ray.

I loved the hip hop tonight! Very cute routine and Pasha did a great job. I felt a little sorry for Lacey, because she ended up mostly posing. But what she did do, she did quite well.

Thrive to spite them

I missed Danny and Lauren pulling dances. Is this one of Mia's?

That looked like a very difficult routine. And I'm very surprised that Lauren managed to keep up with Danny. Color me impressed.

How? How could you have two dancers of that calibre (don't like Lauren, but she has great technique) and spend half the routine running around the stage?

It was beautifully danced. Damn. Have to give it up to gulp Lauren. Did not like the choreo, but was amazing.

ETA: Pasha is really trying to bring it with his solos and escape that ballroom curse. That said, I didn't really get it. Thought it was a little bit weird. But I love Pasha anyway.

That was pretty cool. I love Sabra. I can stand Neil.

"We have trust issues." Mylar

Amazing choreography! Wow. One of my favorite dances of the season. I have to say, though, I did notice some flaws in Sabra's technique there, a little wobbly on some of the turns. The feckless hunchback turned it out. My goodness.

ETA: Gah! Frikkin' Lauren. Why would she pick this week to actually show some of the talent that the judges have been insisting that she's had all along? I still want her to go home and take her smug, annoying personality with her. But that was a good solo. And not even good for her, just good. That last double (triple?) pirouette was gorgeous and she showed amazing control. Rassenfrassinrabblerebble.

I have to rate it thus far:

Neil/Sabra
Danny/Lauren
Pasha/Lacey

Neil/Sabra had better choreography but Danny/Lauren had stronger technique.

He's used to a partner, so he needs something to relate to.
