I know these are at their core popularity contests, but come on -- you should at least be in the same league as the other contestants to be considered a finalist. THAT DANCE WAS BULLSHIT.

Nigel wants them gone. I don't think that's even remotely true. They've both been in the bottom 3 nearly every week. If Nigel wanted them gone, they'd be gone.

But yeah, her and possibly Gev are at or below Twitch's level. Still, I don't think anyone expects either to get to the top four. Twitch is Cedric 2.0 except: 1) The judges gloss over any and all technical gaffes and limitations (Cedric got reamed a lot) 2) Twitch has received choreography that hides a lot of his shortcomings (Cedric got exposed a lot) 3) Twitch may have gotten more pre-top 20 face time than any other contestant I can think of. Even more if you include last year. 4) Twitch is definitely a better dancer than Cedric was (and had much more training), but he's not at the level that most of the other dancers are, but the producers learned from their mistakes from Cedric and know how to protect the "raw" hip hopper to the top ten.

There was a clear amount of chemistry between Twitch and K-herington Payne, but IMHO, they lost the plot. The paso doble is NOT about two dueling matadores. The paso doble is about a matador working in sync with his red cape to thwart the bull. What we saw wasn't a true matador fighting a bull. It was a matador fighting his cape. Of course, that may be what the choreographers were going after. Either way, it didn't work for me.

I saw Altar Boyz. Sadly, it was pre-Neil.

If Nigel wanted them gone, they'd be gone. I guess I should say he wants Thayne out before Top 10. Someone has sucked just a bit more than Thayne to get cut first.

Gev and Courtney weren't that good and called on it by the judges and the voters. The bed dance was a complete fraud. Twitch's part wasn't even "dance". Everyone remembers pretty flowers! Or shirtless Twitch if you swing that way.

I could have sworn that Josh/Katee already had a contemporary routine. Thanks and Happy 4th all!

I don't care for the judges unless they're giving constructive criticism - which Nigel chooses to do only for certain people and in varying amounts (total asshole to Jessica but let's a lot of people off with a free pass). Mary's become a caricature who occasionally says something on point. Mia's a total bitch sometimes; Dan is decent as a judge but is limited in his knowledge on ballroom; and the list goes on. Some days they're useful and some days it's all a bunch of Randy Jackson blather. I want a show about the dancers but this season, there also seems to be a focus on the judges, which I personally don't care for. Stop making it about you, jerks!
