Watching Sasha, she is really incredible. I can't see any of the boys this season being able to match her intensity. What could she do with Mark, though? Or even Travis himself? Who else could keep up with her?

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."

I just love them both lots. And the tango had some pretty fierce poses in it (though the judges being all "Better than the rehearsal!" seemed unfair to the viewing audience somehow...)

So much agreement with this.

Ryan & Ricky were terrible. Seriously. Ryan's upper body movement in the first dance was STIFF. Why don't the judges point this out? Seriously.

I thought Nigel was interesting in saying "both of them have difficulty connecting with the audience" - oh fucking really Nigel? You actually acknowledge that some of us fucking hate Ryan and her weirdass constant smiling and comparatively low skill? Really?

flea,

during the Paso, I was thinking: God. I would actually pay folding money to see Sasha with Mark. They would tear each other UP. In a good way.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Hey, Cat was nominated for Best Host! Nice.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.

Excellent!

Loved Sasha and Alexander's paso doble, loved Melanie and Marko's tango (and really - do we care what their final rehearsal looked like?), enjoyed Clarice and Jess's jive. Most of the rest ranged from good to meh. I disliked the hip-hop with a message - but that was more the choreography than the dancers.

I'm hoping that Ryan will go home after tonight - can't see her standing up to the All Star segment. (Am I the only one who's imagined Nigel after the show frantically phoning/texting in his votes for Ryan?)

She deserves it! And really - she's FUN! she's nice to the dancers (and it's amusing to see her looming over most of them) and she's always entertaining.
