Yeah, I think Katee/Josh, Chelsie/Mark and Kherington/Twitch are the strongest pairs. But personally, I like C/M, K/T and Courtney/Gev the best.

THe rest are blah to me, with the exception of Will who I think is fantastic.

I'm sorry...but I really do not like this season. It's such a letdown. With Wade gone & Shane over doing ABDC (which is honestly becoming a better show to me than this one), there's a serious lack of really GOOD dances. Not mediocre or alright ones, the really AMAZING ones that we still talk about at dance or we all remember as fans of this show. Here's some of my thoughts on this show right now.

First off, Mary needs to not be on the panel every week, back like in Season 1 (and 2 I think). Switch up the panel! If I remember correctly, Mary's actually a great choreographer. She should go back to doing that. Also, stop SCREAMING. You have a microphone. Talk into that and stop yelling when you talk. Use your inside voice. No one can stand you when you yell.

Second, Nigel, stop alienating the choreographers. Especially Shane. So what, he works for another show too. That's what the dance business is all about. After that remark this week, I doubt he'll come back to do another group routine. Oh, and stop acting like Napoleon and Tabitha are amazing & glorifying them. They're not. Their choreography is only mediocre to slighty good and the only time it was good was with No Air, and that was because they had talented people to execute it.

Third, let the guest judges do their job and criticize. It's CONSTRUCTIVE CRITICISM! That's what you're there for...not to always praise. Don't cut someone off or yell at them for saying something, like with Mia and Kherrington or this week when Adam was trying to talk and you and Mary pretended to fall asleep. Rude much?

Finally, kick Comfort off already. She's not that good. She deserved to go home rather than Chelsea. Chelsea's solo was so good tonight! I don't like Comfort. Only time I did was in Shane's group dance last week...cause it was awesome. She's good at what she does, but that's it. I think she belongs in a hip hop dance crew on ABDC, cause she's amazing at hip hop (even though her solos aren't that good at showcasing her talent).

Side note, the cameras during the group numbers this year need to stop moving so much. I can never see what's going on with the way they keep sweeping and changing angles. Especially tonights...which was awesome cause it was Mia. But, I couldn't see half of it cause of the cameras! Guess I'll have to wait till the tour.

lol agreed ^

I liked her but I didn't love her. I'm just glad Kourtni stayed. I love her!

As a newcomer to the show, I don't know past dances, but I think a few are standing out each week.

I did tear up at the end when they went to hug their partners. It was really touching.

**♥SweetBettyRose♥** · 06-27-2008, 05:42 AM

I wasn't surprised that Chelsea left she's been in the bottom three for weeks. I'm just glad my Twitch is still there.

I agree about Mary's screaming it's very annoying.

My Hok was there he totally rocked.
And Jordin was great as well i love Jordin.

abw92 · 06-27-2008, 07:38 AM

I think Comfort should've left. Her two solos have been pretty bad. I don't know why the judges kept her. Chelse at least had a good week. Comfort hasn't. Even in week 1 Chris was stronger in that dance, imo.

I liked Chris, but he deserved to go. His solos have been pretty bad comared to the other guys. Evan should've been put into the Top 20 instead of Chris. Or another ballroom guy.

I love watching contemporary dancers, but I would've rather had more versatility. There is only 1 ballroom girl and 0 ballroom guys.

This season has been a real letdown.

Yeah. Chelsie does come off as a snob.

"Bleeding Love" looked like "No Air" just with different dancers. Napoleon and Tabitha need to stop using the same "girl wants boy to come back to her" thing.

That`s SO true.

That pissed me off. Adam is a great judge, he actually gives the dancers solid advice that will help them in the long run, spot on advice. He actually helps unlike Mary who screams and talks about her train and Nigel who pimps his favs. What Mia told Kherington was great advice and something that has been bothering me the whole show.

I agree completely! But Nigel loves her meaning she's not going anywhere.

Comfort needs a bit more time to really get good. She has the talent but I do not feel any thing pulling myself into her perfomances. I believe that Katee and Josh, Chelsea and Mark could really hold you in an entire preformance. I could watch them dance for a hour.

They are able to let the story come out with out being to technical. It not, "First I kick out step over then lundge', it really about their personalities. Twitch is also really good at this.

Kherrington could do solos. She does not need the support of a partner to show off her talents. She just needs to feel the movement more. I am not lost in her preformance yet. But She is good.

When I am teaching dance sometimes the best dancers tell a story with their bodies, not just show us how flexible they are.

So true, and flexibility does not equal technique. Also, just because someone is a good technician doesn`t mean they`re automatically an amazing dancer.

It pissed me off as well. I feel like Nigel & Mary are always kinda rude to the guest judge no matter who it is. It's like they think that the guest judge's opinion matters less because they aren't a judge every week. And that is completely BS. I noticed it a lot last year too, especially with Adam. Like when Adam said that Danny danced with arrogance (I love Danny, but he totally was) and Nigel told him he was full of crap. That's ridiculous and disrespectful. It's not like Adam had never seen the show before and then just went in and judged them, he had obviously been watching the whole time and knew what he was talking about.

It just really rubs me the wrong way.

**blonde bombshell** · 06-29-2008, 10:26 PM

This is late cause I was gone, but whatever.

First of all, I love Adam. Can he be the head judge from now on? Nigel is grating on my last nerve. And it looks as though he's taken a few too many trips to Mystic Tan, and over bleached his teeth. As though that matters, but it bugged me.

I'm really not digging the choreography this season at all. Particularly the hip hop choreography. I'm not trying to insult Tabitha and Napoleon's choreography because some of it is great. But some of it I just do not like at all. I love some of these dancers and I think they have all the potential in the world but it just is not the same without choreographers like Shane and Wade.

I'm not going to analyze every dance but I need to talk about a few.

Twitch/Kherington danced it well. I liked it. But I HATED the choreography (and the costumes). I feel they would have blown the roof off the place with a different piece of choreography.

Chris/Comfort did NOT do the piece justice. This is the complete opposite. Tyce's choreography and image was brilliant but they did not dance it the way it could have been done.

Chelsie/Mark danced it brilliantly. I loved the choreography here, but it felt as though it was just a copy cat of the "No Air" performance from week 1. I love lyrical hip hop but it needs to have more variety than just an spin off of the same storyline each week.

Josh/Katee are great. end of story.

Will is flippin' fantastic. I'm just loving every single minute I see of him, regardless of the cheesy disco costumes and choreography.

I will say I loooooved Mia's group routine

And Comfort should have gone home. She bugs the living daylight out of me, but at least there is a partner mix up.
