So my sons decide they want to watch the Count of Monte Cristo tonight. Really?? So I'm just now watching it.

Interesting pairing of dancers last night. And as always,if you get a good choreographer, like Sonya or Travis, you will be remembered. That said, I don't thing there were any duds last night, but definitely some highlights. I won't spoil it for those that haven't watched, but I really liked Will and Amelia, Lindsay and Cole and Audrey and Matthew. Oh there is a big surprise in the future family category--won't spoil that one either!

Awe Diana, I was talking about Tabitha!

YEAH!!! Marie's here, and Jancie has watched we can recap and dish all we want. Question Jancie: what was the pink number? Daniel and Alexa? My tv had their outfits as red--but I found them very distracting--took my mind off the dance. Witney had a pink ballroom dress on for her salsa with Chehon( he was in B/W). I thought they did a good job even if Chehon's knees did bow out.George and Tiffany lucked out by having a Sonja routine at the beginning. Very beautiful. I think George might be one of my favs. Brandon and Janaya did Nap/Tab's hip hop routine about drinking/alcohol. Kept thinking that if someone else like Twitch and Katee or Travis and anyone had done it, it would have been memorable. Amber and Nick were beautiful in the waltz, but its hard to get votes for ballroom dances. I'm curious to see Amber develop. Amelia and Will's cat routine was sexy hot and I just think Will is so cute. I just want to pinch his cheeks when he gets embarrassed.  Janelle and Dareian did a great job with the Cheesman's African inspired dance. Curious to see how the belly dancer grows in dance style. I agree the Cyrus outshown Eliana--I think his smile is just infectious. He isn't however, hitting every step, so it'll be interesting to see him progress and learn the various styles. And again, Audrey and Matthew lucked out and got a Travis routine that was dreamy and romantic. It didn't hurt that the jumps were all timed with the angst of the song. Were they that good or was the routine and music just stellar? And I loved, loved, loved the final paso doble with Cole and Lindsay. I know its her style but they worked off each other so well and he was perfect with her. I kept thinking of all the pasos I have seen on that OTHER dance show and thought "this is how you do it!!" Beautiful.

Truly does matter who you have as a choreographer. Everyone remembers the dramatic and romantic. Sex sells--like the cat routine and the Titanic dance. Unforgettable for me? I would say Brandon/Janaya's hip hop and Daniel/Alexa contemporary.  Also think Amber, Nick andChehon, might be in danger. Can't believe they are getting rid of 4 this week!!!

Matthew is just too darn cute!

Wow, the bottom six just called out-- no pauses, no teases. And no dances for your life. Or Dancing in their own styles. Wow. Big change. Holding my judgement till later.

Marie, hope you stayed awake to see the show Wednesday. Did anyone record it for you in case you missed it? Jancie, Etherize have you seen it yet? 

Jancie, I so agree about Alexa. All that yelling at her in Vegas, and after one dance they put her thru?? She was so inconsistent there, just seems someone else with more consistency could have taken her place. Too bad. Also too bad that Daniel got sucked into her web and booted with her. Never got to see what else he could do. Twitch's door routine I could watch over and over, that and Travis and the park bench, Mark and Chelsie's Bleeding Love routine. Oh don't get me started. I also think it was a shame that Nick got ballroom both weeks--even tho that is his specialty, no one got to see him step out of his comfort zone. And the sad thing is the voters rarely put ballroom people thru unless they have tons of sex appeal. and he seemed a little low on that--to me. 

Marie, I had that concern too.I'm just as confused as you. I even went on their website to see if they say how many are going this week,etc, and nothing. Did Nigel say at the end of the show, and I just wasn't listening?

After this week's dances I would not have put Janaya in the bottom. But I guess the hard thing is they are all so talented, it just depends who gets the crappy choreography for the week. I didn't like Christopher Scott's routine with Dareian and Janelle. It just didn't show them off well at all. Kinda thought they would have saved Daniel over Chehon. Now my big wonder is how many go home this week. Hope they are back to two, otherwise the show will be over WAY TOO SOON!!!! 

Did anyone watch tonight?
