The show opens on a dark stage. In the corner of my TV, I can see the title: "The Moment Said It" by Imogen Heap. Totally a Mia Michaels routine here. It's all dark and spazzy, but beautiful(?). Starring Danny Tidwell. He's front and center for almost the whole thing, but I don't mind. We see some classic Mia Michaels moves like the slide off the stage, etcetera. Oooh, I like the blinking red light over Danny's heart at the end.

Danny's a Cylon!

Oh and Eliza Doolittle is joining us on the stage! Yes, tonight Cat is dressed a the 21st century "after" Eliza. She reminds us that the girl and guy with the lowest votes are going home tonight. So here to do nothing but blabber for 40 minutes to fill some time are our jidges!

Get your own damned slippers, you pig!

Cat starts by addressing the controversy last night over Mia's jacket. Only she says controversy like the Brits do... which I can't even describe except to say it's totally WRONG. Like as wrong as the way they say advertisement.

Anyways, like I said in the previous recap, there was a big controversy over Mia's Marines jacket and the emblems on her arms were also upside down. Seriously, from working on more than one war play, I know military guys get freaking pissed about that. They're so touchy about their patches. Oooh, too far?

Apparently people were upset by Wade's routine as well. Whoever is pissed about a message about peace has to be out of their gourd. Yeah it was cheesy and ridiculous, but Nigel makes the very good point that no war is a good war, even if it's necessary, so to say you are anti-war doesn't mean you don't support the troops. Of course they support the troops. Then he goes for the guilt trip to remind viewers the dancers used words like "humility," "love" and "compassion" and he doesn't feel he needs to defend those sentiments. It's actually very well said.

Wait, a well spoken person on this panel? Better counterbalance that with a little crazy in the form of Mary Murphy. Mary's scared the voters have made the wrong decision. But knowing Mary's fickle ways, she's going to call any decision the wrong one.

The decision to wear this top? WRONG.

When we return from commercial it's time for a time filler as Cat welcomes Mika. They are a hipster band. The lead singer is wearing a pair of bright blue skinny jeans that are definitely girls' jeans and he's a dude. He also starts off in a pair of red Wayfarers and that's strike one, two and three right there. The rest of his band is equally as absurd. There's a lot of falsetto. Fast forward...

After the performance that band clears out awfully fast as Cat takes a moment to remind us of the rules before welcoming the top 5 girls to the stage. Cat will reveal which two are in danger. Then the bottom two will perform their solos, which won't serve to change the outcome, but will remind the viewing audience "just how special they are."

Last night Sabra was praised to high heaven for both her work in the contemporary piece with Kameron, and for her solo. Mia called Sabra her favorite. Sabra is safe. Duh.

Jamie danced a horrible horrible Viennese waltz disguised as a Paso Doble. The judges hated it but thought she danced it well. Nigel thought she could have done better at her solo, but Mary disagreed. Jaimie is the first one named to the bottom four. Dun dun DUN!

Lacey was partnered with Danny and danced a hot samba. She was on her home turf and was freakin' amazing, though the jidges warned her not to lose sight of her partner. We learn that last night was the first time Lacey did a solo. Nigel liked it but Mia wanted more emotion. Lacey is safe. Again.

NightWalker :

Making generic, disparaging remarks about military people reminds me a lot of racism. In both cases, "they" are not all alike or unlikeable, but as long as you only talk to people who share your prejudices, everyone will laugh and agree with you.

Enjoy your freedom of speech. (Why do I suspect that freedom will be denied me - by having this post removed?)

Lacey was flipping fantastic, and those SHOES. Cripes, she really shouldn't have any problems getting laid after this.

Lauren also danced to some Jesus music. That combined with the "meh"ness of her solo (which amounted to running around a lot) kinda made me want to punch her, but in a super friendly beauty pageant white-toothed smile sort of way.

I think Lauren and Dom are the next to go...

Agreed. Nigel's "no, war's really not cool, don't be arseholes" speech was quite diplomatic.
