Eh, not feeling the usual dress-envy tonight, Cat. The orange scrunched number does nothing for her figure and she's like yea-big. After the solos, Cat reminds us that tonight is the last night many of these pairs will dance together, as starting next week, everyone will be picking their partners at random. That should be interesting considering all the short men this year. ahemDomincahem.

Eh. Not so much.

After Cat introduces our jidges, Nigel reminds us of how much is at stake tonight. Not only do you get the bragging rights of being in the Top 10, but you get to go on the tour as well, bringing... um... fame? More like fame-ish.

Tonight's guest judge is Wade Robson, who I'm pretty sure is stoned. He rivals Mia Michaels in spacey commentary. Basically, he's into humans. Okay... Also new to the panel, Mary Murphy's dark, thick eyebrows. Whose idea was that? That person should be fired.

I was staring at those brows for so long it took three glances to catch this hideous outfit.

Up first tonight are Sabra and Dominic. I think the powers-that-be on this show might just have heard my complaints because tonight's interviews focus on what each person likes and dislikes about his or her partner. Awesome! Gossip! Sabra likes how funny Dominic is, and we all know how much she likes comedians. Dominic's favorite thing about Sabra is either how much he can trust her or her puffy hair. It's a toss-up. Sabra says the worst thing about him is that he drops her... a lot. We see clips and hoo, that looks painful. Dominic counters that the worst thing about Sabra is that she doesn't trust him not to drop her. Well after that freaking MONTAGE of footage of you dropping her, I really don't blame her!

Why you always gotta look scared?

This week the pair will be doin' the Jive. Heh, Dominic has a moment where he uses Sabra's afro as a microphone and I think this marks the first time I've actually found him funny. In rehearsal, Sabra mentions that she doesn't know much about the Jive, but she doesn't think it has a lot of lifts. Tony Meredith is all, yeah, about that...

Mary will go on about technical things later, but I have to say I really enjoyed this effort. Really it's the first week I've seen what they rave about in Dominic. It's all fast-paced and NOT set to Avril Lavigne. So enjoyable. The lift goes off without a hitch, though it does look laborious and not as free-and-easy as I think others make their lifts. But, Sabra's still in one piece and that's important too, right?

Wade loves the positive energy from the pair and thinks the universe does as well. He and the universe are like besties and tell each other all their deepest thoughts.

Puff puff give, Bogie.

Mary thought it was great that they just let loose and danced, though she did think their kicks were too high at times. You're too high. Nigel calls them the best pair, with the exception of Benji and Heidi, to have ever been on the show together. Then he makes an awful joke about Dominic being from Sacramento and it being gold rush country and Dominic is gold, etc. Nigel's been squeezing that gem all week. Sorry dude. Still coal.

Jamie really likes "the whole idea of [Hok]" - that he looks Japanese, speaks with a British accent and cooks her Italian food. It confuses her, but she likes it. Guys, I know she's not bright, but I don't care! I have a total girl-crush on Jamie. Hok likes Jamie's hair. God, what is with all these boys liking their partner's hair? Jamie actually doesn't like Hok's hair because she chokes on his braids sometimes. Look, I already acknowledged she's not an Einstiein, okay? Hok says (in Japanese!) that he doesn't like that Jamie is taller than he in heels. Aw, the short man's plight.

bellewhore :

I loved when you called out Lauren as being mannish. There was something about her I just didn't like and you've helped me put my finger on it...

Laurie :

With the exception of sara/pasha's 80's jazzfest, this entire episode was very Meh for me. Although did you see where Dominic dropped Sabra on her head during the group number warmup? Jeez, I'd be scared to.

I was actually disappointed to see wade judging,because I knew that meant he wouldn't have done any pieces this week. Darn you wade!

Normally I love every mia michael's piece, but this one felt strangely detached to me. Even when Mia does weird weird stuff, there's always some kind of emotion that she puts her dancers through. It almost felt like a bad parody of a mia routine. Which I blame on lauren/neil

Shollia :

I can't freaking stand Lauren and Neil and I hated the routine.
Mia Michaels is great, the routine would've been great IF 2 other people had been dancing it.
Not once throughout the entire thing were they in sync with eachother.
I hate them and want them GONE!

As for Lacey and Kameron, they just got a bad choreographer. Dan Karaty is just freaking AWEFUL. He needs to stop acting like he's hiphop and just admit already that all he does is crappy pop.
I don't even think 2 pro hiphop dancers would've made that routine look good.

Nice review. I thought you might pick up on Neil's comment as being a bit gay, as well as maybe mean.

Wandawoman :

What cracked me up about Wade was that although he is an amazing dancer/choreographer he didnt give very constructive criticism. Basically what he had to say was too touchy feely and unhelpful. At least when Mia is touchy-feely she gives helpful advice.
But the really funny part was that even when Wade had not nice things to say the crowd didn't boo him because everyone knows that he is the poo when it comes to dance.
I still hate Danny...he is a cocky SOB.

pq :

i thought Lauren and Neil were the worst--of course i don't like either one of them, so i'm a little biased, but i don't think i've seen anyone frak up a Mia Michaels routine like that. Lauren wasn't actually bad, but Neil was awful.

i thought that (poor) Hok was the victim of bad choreography/concept. this is a dance show--having someone act like they are unable to dance is an odd choice. i think it would be really hard to pull that off without looking like you really can't dance.

Danny and Anya were beautiful--as usual. Danny is a beautiful dancer, and he dances with confidence, but i don't see the arrogance. he just seems reserved, but i think he is starting to come out of his shell a little bit. of course i don't actually know him, but that's the way he comes across to me.
