You got all kinds of learnin' and you made me look the fool without tryin', and yet here I am with a gun to your head. That's 'cause I got people with me. People who trust each other, who do for each other, and ain't always lookin' for the advantage.

Ugh, did not like the opening group number. Seems like Wade is just massaging his ego these days.

Very glad that they had some authentic W. African dance on the show. Titus was good, but he seemed limited in his range of movement. I would've loved to see a dance troupe. I'll bet he was something to see about 10 years ago (or more?) when Debbie worked with him on Amistad.

Loved Sabra.

Lauren is a hot mess. What the hell is she wearing?

I didn't much care for either Lauren or Lacey, tonight. Still loving Sabra.

I think Lacey is very very lucky that she never had to dance for her life.

Hmm. Sabra's solo was good but not that difficult technically. She's never quite matched up to her first DoD where she really was a revalation. Still cute and fun, and she's so pretty.

Lauren has gotten better at this DoD thing. That said, still hated it. Cutesy poo to Heartbreaker? I don't think so, Miss Thing. Very difficult moves in there. And she doesn't disappoint by continuing to fall out of anything more than a double turn.

Lacey, I just don't . . . I can't. She obviously has great ballroom technique and the parts that seemed recognizably ballroom were good, I thought. The rest was all just wanna be sexpot baloney and trying waaaaaay too hard.

Underwhelmed by the three girls. Again. Some more.

Pasha has decided that shirtless is his best chance fo sticking around.

Niel, surprisingly not bad.

Danny got a little too ambitious.

Pasha, put your shirt back on. You're actually a good dancer, but people are going to start thinking you aren't because they're watching your chest and not your feet. Start believing in yourself.

Pasha is the gold standard for ballroom dancers doing solos. And that fool is ridiculously fine. Good lord. That was a lot of fun and really showed of what he does well in a way that was appropriate for a solo.

Neil, please, please go away and take your hunchback with you. I will give you minimal props for managing to get through a whole routine without doing a flip or an aerial. Still can't dance.

Danny was not as great as I've seen him in the past, but still light years better than any of the other dancers left. He is so musical, so powerful.

Cool to go out to work with local after school choreographers, but I did not like the way they talked about the project. Yes, you all get your ghetto card now. Happy?
