Well, crap. I was hoping that wouldn't happen. Maybe we'll get lucky and we'll lose Cedric at least. I'd have a hard time sending any of the girls home.

Nope. But Neil and Lauren are safe, while Jaimie and Hok aren't. Burns my butt.

Oh I see Cedric dancing.

I'm afraid that Mary's a fan now and she's going to vote for him and so will the other guy and Nigel won't.

I fast forwarded through Hilary Duff to catch up. For the guys, I'd send Cedric home. His learning curve has been too darn slow. For the girls, it's a bit of a toss up between Anya and Shawna. I think Anya if very limited by her ballroom repertoire and Shawna is a bit flat-footed, some of her transitions outright suck.

Thank god they got Cedric off! I'm sorry to see Shawna dance because I think she was interesting.

Whew. At least they got one right. I'm sorry for Cedric, but he needed to leave weeks ago.

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

Yeah, I think Shauna/Shawna was a bit of a mistake. But it was very clear Cedric's time was numbered. I wish he had been treated better while he was on the show. The public berating 2 weeks ago was over the top and fucking ridiculous. I'm still bitter over that.

I have to agree with the judges on sending Shauna home. She's a good dancer, but I haven't seen any changes in her dancing since she started. She is remarkably talented, but she's got a heaviness (not physical) about her. I used to see it in Nancy Kerrigan when she was skating. She might have been able to do a triple, but it always looked like she was fighting for it every single time. It never looked effortless and that's the same way I feel about Shawna. Technically good, but execution is leaden.

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

Sail, I agree with you about Kerrigan, but I think Shauna's biggest problem was that her partner was Cedric. I'dve sent Anya home instead. I would have loved to see Shauna with Danny.
