I hope you don't think that I just come over for the spells and everything. I mean, I really like just talking and hanging out with you and stuff.

It gets tougher every week. I'm not looking forward to next week, unless they finally get rid of Neil and Lauren. Then I will jump for joy.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.

Again I would have sent all of the girls home and kept the guys (And I mean, all seven girls). I thought Hok's dance for his life was really, really excellent.

Thank goodness, Cedric finally got sent home. Here's hoping Debbie Allen keeps her word, because I do think he has a lot of raw talent.

Should've been Lauren, not Shauna. Although, I do see the heaviness that others have cited. I was underwhelmed by this week. As much as I love some of the couples (Sabra and Dom especially), I think I am ready for a partner switch. I miss the S1 format sometimes.

"Cry havoc and let slip the boobs of war!" -- Miracleman

Hok is generally excellent. The waltz was the first time I didn't like his performance, but I think that's becuase the waltz is all about the guy just standing there for the woman and holding her. I think that he's going to take it all. Is there a prize this year like the Celine Dion thing?

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

Vortex, I don't think Hok will take it all. I think Hok has some generally ballroom weaknesses that have been showing up when they get ballroom dances. I love Hok to death, but given the format of this show, a rare hip hop and/or street dancer can win.

bon bon, I like the women a lot more than you do! I can't stand Lauren, but setting her aside, I think Sabra and Lacey (in particular) are really strong and surprisingly versatile. I also like Anya when she partners. She sucks at the solos. Next time she solos, she is going down. She's really pretty good in partner situations.

So true. I think it will really show when they begin switching partners. I like Sabra better only because I think she's adorable and surprised with her own success -- a typical reaction to the underdog, I think.

As for the men, Kamron is unmemorable for me. I haven't felt any personality or seen any stand-out dancing/performance from him compared to the other men still left. I could wave good-bye to Niel without a tear, but I do think that this week's dance was a big improvement performance-wise to what we have seen.

Without a fucking doubt. I really was really to toss Neil over the side of the bus, but he really outdanced Lauren this week.

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

BB: I can't believe Jen got HOH. That means at least 2 weeks before she's gone. I wonder if anyone in the house won't hate her before the week is up.
