I wish there was a way to knock Cecric off without putting Shauna in danger. I hated her costume and thought Mia's solution to the Cedric problem is have him sit on the stage while his partner does all the work was whack!

Quickstep was fun and Sara and Jesus are fun to watch.

The quickstep was definitely fun. I think the flatfooted look was the fault of those stupid spats Kameron was wearing. Sidenote, I loved Lacey's hair! Hec would love it, too.

That wasn't too hip hop but it was interesting.

Danny is my favorite guy.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I'm totally all set with the drama over Cedric, and like what he said about if you want to be a dancer, you really have to study. But please, get him out tomorrow!

I liked the movements, and the music, too. I wouldn't have called it hip hop, but it was a neat dance.

I don't know hiphop from nada, but I actually liked that by the time it was done. Anya really amazed me, she seemed to pick it up so quick. I do think it was amazing choreography, too.

Anya is underestimating herself. She really does pick up the new tricks well. But, I thought Danny stole the routine. maybe it's the height thing.

I have to agree with Nigel. Danny did a good job, but he's got to let go of that hesitation/fluidity problem that the classically trained dancers seem to run into. Sharp, abrupt continuous movement seems to stymie them.

And I didn't really see as much of him in this routine, I spent as much time or more watching Anya.

Thrive to spite them

I hope that they do well with the rumba because I love the rumba. It's fun and sexy.
