I'm not worried about Danny. He's got the barechest effect going for him. I'm pretty sure we'll see Pasha go bye-bye. And Lacey, too. The ballroom/latin peeps just don't have the repertoire for staying power.

Danger is my middle name, only I spell it R. u. t. h. - Tina Belcher.

I will be very pissed if both Lauren and Neil make it.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.

I really enjoyed tonight's dances, especially that jazz one. It's business time! I hope Sabra and Danny make it and get paired together next week-- because if they do, they will.

I've gone back a rewatched that Paso Doble a couple of times, now. I still don't like it, it was sloppy, it was stiff, it was all about the shoulders and not about the hips. I know Sabra was supposed to be the cape, but it just didn't work for me. The dance is supposed to be between two people, not a person and an object. They just should have given Neil a cape and let him have at it.

Well, I just lost my reality TV voting virginity. I've been an AI and SYTYCD watcher since the beginning and never once have I been moved to pick up the phone. Not for Kelly, Ruben, Blake, no one. But I voted for Danny tonight because if he does not make it past Neil, it will be criminal. The more I see that paso, the more it stinks like three day old fish. I mean, it was bad. Now, the disco was bad, too. (And worse on re-watch as well, sadly) But Danny is such a better dancer than Neil. It will be a shame if he goes.

I'm not too worried about Lacey. She has a voting machine behind her. I doubt even a not so great night can overcome it. I think Lauren may have finally dodged her last bullet. But the hunchback cheerleader is gonna make it into the finale. I just feel it. Feh.

Yeah, I've been pushing redial on Pasha's number since the show ended. The hunchback shall not prevail!

I was disappointed that after the Mia Michaels contemporary, all the praise was for Lauren and not much of anything for Danny.

yeah, he did that amazing leg over the clasped hands move that usually only women do.

The only busy signal I got while serial redialing was on Sabra's number.

Me, too. That's why I figured I could safely leave her to the forefinger of others.

Oh! I noticed for the first time today. Cat Deeley's face is a frickin' Picasso. Her nose is heading east and her lips are on their way to Vancouver. I couldn't stop noticing it once I realized her face was lopsided.
