Crap the stream got really jerky during all of that, I'll have to watch it again. I really couldn't tell if it was good or not.

My stream was bad too. I did see enough to see Nick is pretty cute. I wonder how old Iveta really is.

Really Nigel, you want us to believe that it was completely random that so many people got their styles?

And ballroom and latin were really vague. In the past hasn't it been - Quick Step, Cha Cha or whatever.

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

Iveta/Nick-Loved the music! Of course she's great, but he held his own.

I don't think she's going to be popular with the audience though, because of her age.

I think I'm only NOT voting for Broadway Jess. Everyone else came to play!

So who were the weakest three couples? Everyone was really good and no one really failed. Of course it helped half of each couple got their style, but still there were no big glaring mess ups.

Because books.

My favorites were the jive and the quickstep, but I was in the mood for fun and happy tonight.

It will be hard on the earlier couples that the ones at the end were so strong. Really, I hate to see anyone go yet!

I have to say that, IMO, the three weakest were the "Forget You" hip hop, the jive, and the Ryan/Ricky hip hop (mostly because of Ryan's weird smiling). The Forget You number suffered from the same inability to maintain character--they were enjoying themselves too much for a couple caught cheating on each other. The jive was cute, but just not that good (and Robert's Urkel vibe is really wearing on me).

The biggest surprise of the night was how well Nick kept up with Iveta, who I agree will unfortunately be an early exit from the season just because she's older and more reserved. But he really impressed me with his ability to pick up the dreaded quickstep as well as he did (although his legs were a bit splayed at times, which messed with his line). It was really close to the Jakob/Ellenore quickstep in quality--the dancing was better than the earlier number, but the chemistry was better between Jakob and Ellenore.

Man, I miss Ellenore. I hope she turns up as an all-star!

I didn't see Jordan and Tadd or Sasha and Alex. But I'm voting online mostly for Iveta/Nick but also Melanie/Marko.

I didn't really like Robert so I didn't really like that dance.
