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

I really expected Travis to win last year. I was aghast when they said "Benji", I liked Benji, but I thought Travis was more interesting.

Danny was amazing. Game over.

As for Wade, I think back to the Jesus/Sara routine from earlier in the season or the Hummingbird piece that Hok/Jamie danced and those routines were really weird, and challenging, and interesting and technically ridiculous, yet still accessible. Some of his past best have been the same way . . . Ramalama or Sexyback from last season. That Lacey/Sabra number, at one point both girls were just laying on the floor for multiple eight counts, or nuzzling each other (thanks Nigel, because all I could think of was that Sabra was trying to suckle). If this were his company and he wanted to set that piece on company dancers, I'd say fine. But it's not. It's a competition. The dancers will be judged by the public on this. One of them will win $250K. And Lacey and Sabra just got screwed.

They have set this up as Mia's HoYay Dance.

Or maybe you people have affected me.

Lemme channel my inner Debbie Allen. That's the way I like it, honey. That was ridiculous.

Danny is cracking me up tonight!

Niel has more chemistry with Danny than any girl. And eyeliner!

Neil is surprisingly effective in his crazy mad scientist mode. Actually it is the only way I can tolerate him.

Loved Danny's little scottish-type moment. I am describing this badly. Like, he was twittering his legs.

Thrive to spite them

Neil should always wear eyeliner, he looks much better.

Crazy that I think Dan got it just right. The piece really did showcase Danny's technicality and Neil's physicality to its best advantage. Mia put it down. Definitely one of my favorite's of the season.

Isn't that a chasse?
