That's my idea of the final 2 women!

Why is she doing a rhumba barefoot?

'cause he's too short?

fierce.

Amen!

My top 4: Tadd, Marko, Melanie & Sasha!

Mine, too, quester.

Mine also

I love everyone left on this show. I totally agree about the top four, but I don't know which of the others will go home tomorrow night. But the top four will DEFINITELY be Marko, Tadd, Melanie, and Sasha. I feel like there's nothing any of them can't do.

Ricky and Jess could go. I get Caitlyn and Jordan mixed up, so I wouldn't miss either.

And I did squee a bit when little Lauren from last season was so badass in that number with Tadd.

Another adorable dress from Cat. Girl really wants that Emmy.

Dance Ins: Jordan dressed like a whore again. Marko was trying to be a bboy. Why? I really hope Sasha is doing ballroom. Tadd is adorable. Melanie is feirce, as is Ricky. Caitlin is a nonentity and Jess is still way, way too over the top. Make it stop. Why won’t he heed NPH?

Why is Rob Marshall so orange? He’s bucking for Michael Kors spot as most overly-tanned man on TV not named John Boehner. Sigh. Gaga makes me so, so tired. Seafoam green hair and red military hat, darling? Please stop trying so hard.

Sasha and Pasha/Ballroom/Jason Gilickson/Puttin’ on the Ritz – Thank god the dress is for ballroom because it’s hideous. Hmm. I don’t like it from the jump. Her posture is really weird. And her feet are kinda sloppy. And it’s awfully slow. And the headband thing is killing me. You know, she’s really not terrible. She’s just not all that good either. And I was undewhelmed by the quirky choreo. They really tried to sell it, though. Rob Marshall has some judging skills. And I love Technical Mary. More Technical Mary. Agreed with Nigel that the upper body was a little stiff. Gaga is talking nonsense. She’s like a female Lil C.

Caitlin and Ivan/Hip Hop/Marty Kudelka/Let Me Love You – Yay. They haven’t had Marty since S1, maybe? Glad to see him back. Ivan looks all grown up. Aww. He really is a great hip hop dancer. So in spots, Caitlyn was kinda turning it out. She could be a little smoother with her glides, but for a non hip hop girl, she was doing much better than lots of other contemp kids of the past. Full disclosure – the choreo was kind of elementary, 1-and-2-and. It was cute, though. Agreed with Nigel again that she really didn’t groove like Ivan did. And Gaga had a point, too, about going through the movements instead of stopping. And now it’s Rob Marshall’s turn to spout nonsense. Down with the guest judges. I will not remember this dance 30 minutes from now.

Jordan and Ade/Jazz/Tyce/Nutbush City Limits – The last thing Jordan needs to do is sit around sexifying. This is such nothing choreo. They are mostly just standing around. And then look, pelvis thrust. What is this? This is horrible. I can’t even with the non-choreo choreo. There have been sooo many counts of just stand around and vamp. And then 17 billion leg extensions. Tasty is such a fucking hack. Every once in a blue moon he pulls a good routine out of his ass, but seriously? What a waste of great talent. Both Ade and Jordan can do so much more. Rob Marshall, NPH would like a word with you about Tyce as a choreographer. This is not contortionism, judges. And nobody wanted to bring it real with Tyce. There was no dance in that dance. And that romper is a crime against humanity. No.

Melanie and Neil/Contemporary/Mandy Moore/Total Eclipse of the Heart – I swear she has used this song before. Also, that first throw was something Alison did last season. It’s recycle!Mandy. But Melanie is a revelation. She’s so gorgeous. Every move is finished through the pinky toe. Such tension and passion through all parts of her body. I loved that roll over Neil to a standing position and then he leapt up behind. And the run into the leap was ridiculous. It was a gorgeous thing, mainly because of the dancing. The choreo was just kind of standard contemporary angst, but they both danced it beautifully. And I give it to the Hunchback, y’all. He, too, turned it out. Please put Melanie on tour with Gaga and Mark. Agreed that the collapse out of the arabesque was a thing of beauty. I’ll be shocked if she doesn’t win.

Ricky and Anya/Jive/Jason Gilickson/River Deep, Mountain High – Huh. I don’t see how this can be a good pairing for Ricky at all. He always looks like a little boy and Anya is all woman. He started out with a nice spin, but then she just started to complete overpower him. Ok I am not watching him at all. I’m just watching Anya. She is so fierce. It’s ridiculous. And did she just throw that fool over here (continued...)
