I am not...I am not the damsel in distress. I am not some case. I have to work this. I've lived in a cave for 5 years in a world where they killed my kind like cattle. I am not going to be cut down by some monster flu. I am better than that. What a wonder...how very scared I am.

I liked the fact that there was very little, if any, mugging by Lacey during that dance. It made it that much more enjoyable. And the popsicle stick. At least she's taking the feedback from the judges seriously.

I think that was the best solo I've seen Neil do. He's definitely come a long way. I still think he's a hunchback, though.

Yeah, he's working hard to prove he should be there.

Best solo ever by the hunchback. Some transitions, some musicality. Didn't fall out of that first turn sequence. Threw the back handspring, double twist, no? And flowed it into the next move. Even less hunch-y. And yet still so very boring. But, you know, props to you, Quasimodo. I think that's about as good as it gets.

This is only the second time I've ever enjoyed the waltz--but I still think Anya and Danny's was better. I didn't like some of the choppy bits of the choreography, which went with the music, but bleh.

Lacey doesn't have the nice extension on her arms, though--it's something I notice on Danny, and while hers is better than it was the time the judges pointed it out, it still wasn't nice, for me.

I'm looking forward to Danny and Sabra dancing together.

What's up with the scarves? Are they going to be prey?

I'm a few minutes behind...just saw Neil's solo...and, what is up with his right arm? He holds it oddly in a lot of his moves. Stiff, and a little bent.

That was cute. Sabra wiped the floor with Lacey.

That was funky. The choreographer is craxxy, but it was fun and well-danced.
