Cheerleader is stressing over this. Mochi Ball on the other hand is loving the the flavor. She can't wait to show how full strength she is. Jordi loves that she throws a clap at the end. That's how much she is feeling the flavor. She can't even contain hand clapping.
Jordi is looking for musicality, acting and bringing the story together from our dancers. He wants "El Sabor!" Mean Gay nods his head like crazy at that. He totally gets "el sabor". He totally gets "el ritmo". He totally loves Gloria Estefan.
So now for The Audition. Of course Jordi wants to see Mochi Ball and Cody go first, since the are the Stahs. And then the craziest thing happens to our Mexican Jumping Bean Mochi. She blanks entirely. Right before she comes up, she mentions to Cody she is blanking on a move. Jordi says that they have to just GO since this is an audition. No time to check in with your partner, who is just a cat going to taunt and kill you anyway. Andele, Mochi Ball!
Then it gets worse for her. Right when she starts she blanks within the first five moves. What is happening to Star Cody's other half? Is her brain in her knee? It's awkward. She wants to ask questions but the time for questions is over. Ay! Jordi says he's been there too, but this is what he has to judge. Una vez mas? "MUSICA!" orders Jordi. He must be Spanish because it always sounds like "MOOTHICA!" I am rooting for our petit Mochi Ball and it's hard to see her flounder.
You ate too many magical mushrooms. Game over.
The Latin nymph pipes up that Star Cody is a star and she should hitch her wagon to it. Cody leads her more through it on their second run through and they pull it off, though her confidence is gone and you can see it. Mean Gay and Cheerleader are in the corner quietly gloating and Cheerleader is using the extra moments to practice. NO ME GUSTA. Mochi knows she was brain fried.
Lose 10,000 points and special Cheerleader tazer.
Mean Gay and Cheerleader are up and Mean Gay says that they are amazing together because they have a "delicious sensuality". A bitchy queen and a husky cheerleader have smoldering chemistry?
Sensual squatting.
Mochi Ball gets called up again to work with Straight Nick and he's nervous about her turning everything she touches to shit today. He of course says that anything that goes wrong will be blamed on her. He also reminds us that he is too manly to emote when he dances.
And now it's time for the verdict. And Jordi gets literary on us. That poetic Latin soul. He is going to rank the dancers and today Mochi Ball had the classic definition of "tragedy". A reversal of fortune! She went from the top to the bottom! It's Shakespearean people. Or video game like.
So after Mochi, Nick is 4th because he lacked passion. Nick says he is mentally breaking down with this constant critique. Third is Cheerleader because she doesn't have a center and all over the place, which is what the judges have been hollerin for a while. Maybe she'll start mentally breaking down, too. Cody was, of course, strong, but lacked the Latin sabor.
Mean Gay's Latin flavor shined, but is he really a STAH? Of course not. Cody is numero uno. So what does this ranking mean, pray tell? Well, basically it means this is the order they get to pick their partners in. BUT, surprise! They won't be picking each other. They will be picking...the LOSERS as partners!! I'm in heaven. The whole parade of past Step It Uppers march in and everyone loses it. And we have everyone but Go-go: Adriana, Loser Talk, Hugger, Italian, Tovah Doe and Bi Mike. So of course Hugger is all over it.
I'm not naming names, but someone in the back wants a cuddle puddle...
Jer breaks it up and they line up on two sides like they're going to play red rover. We learn that they'll each be performing three styles of dance: salsa, tango and flamenco. So they need to pick the partner that's going to make them look the best.

Hysterically funny recap again!
I was getting worried there for a bit...where's this week's recap?
It was worth the wait, though.
Now, no more of this "having a life" stuff, okay? We have recap needs that need to be met. ;)

OK, Miss Sensation, we'll give you a pass this time, but note you have been demoted from Lady to Miss for now... Although if the next recap is as funny as this one AND a little earlier, I'm willing to reconsider.
Regarding Janelle's creepy talk about cutting off Tovah's legs, all I have to say is: maybe British Columbia police should be checking her out? I saw this item in my newspaper yesterday (the timing was just perfect!), and I tried to post a link, but URLs are not allowed. So Google for yourself "Fourth severed right foot found in BC". Now, of course I am not really implying that Janelle had anything to do with this, but wouldn't it go a long way towards explaining why at times she seems to be all left feet? Hmmmm...
