Just thinking, with all the different dances these four had to learn for this week those poor schmucks must be totally exhausted.

I've been wanting to see Danny and Sabra together forever--this is awesome! They're both so hot!

Thrive to spite them

That was great! It was real cha cha and not just tricks. Although there were tricks but it was a nice combination.

Ugh. Did not like it. They make awkward partners. Maybe it's the height differential.

But Sabra's body is sick. Good lord.

One of the things I like about Sabra (aside from her openness and joyfulness) is that she manages to carry herself according to the style of the dance. Danny always looks at least a little like a ballet dancer, but Sabra had that whole funky butt latin dancer thing down.

That felt like almost two different dances. Taken separately, I liked each half. Taken together, they didn't fit. But it was all fun to watch.

Kat, random question--you seem to know what you're talking about, what kind of dance stuff have you done?

Oh, also, love that they gave Melanie her props finally because she is fierce. I thought the choreo was quite challenging, just wish they could've done a little more with it. They had to have been exhausted, too.

ETA: meara, I danced a lot through college. Started with ballet as a little thing, but most of my training was in modern and jazz. All I know about ballroom, I learned from PBS.

OMFG. Cat and Nigel dancing together? That sounds scary.

That sounds VERY scary.

I just voted for the very first time for a reality TV show contestant. Eep! (I voted for Danny)
