My first fav was tied between Chelsie and Mark and Gev and Courtney. Next is Josh (Mr. Trousers) and Katee, then Twitchington, lastly Kourtni and Matt. They are my top five - I hope they all go far!!! Right now, I can't choose just one person or one favorite couple. I am on the fence with Kourtni and Matt - physically and technically they are matched well, the rest I am not sure about. I cannot wait to see them dance in contemporary - not an off shoot like last night - though I did like the routine.

My least favs are in order are Comfort and Chris, Will and Jessica, and Chelsea and Thayne. Last night they were all kind of train wrecks for me. The African Jazz number would have been more powerful if danced by different dancers - ones who hit harder and appeared a bit more raw. Will and Jessica had obvious mistakes and while they tried to hide them, they were obvious and it looked a little sloppy. Chelsea and Thayne quick step was just a big ol' mess. Those who have watched the show since it has been on know that couples with the same amount of quick step experience have done way better than these two.

I am going to have to disagree. The hip hop routine with Chelsea and Mark was not that great. I honestly thought they just counted out the moves. I am not sure what everyone else saw but I didnt get chills, I was not moved and I just thought overall they were okay but definately not great.

Whoa, Jason and everyone else, no one noticed the huge, ahem, "surprise" that Joshua's dad had in his pants when he got up to show off his buns?! Pophangover has the only picture of it that I've seen, it was pretty funny.

OK - This was my first time watching all the dances so I went into this unbiased and guess what - I agree with you on the top four - just in a slightly different order. While I thought Chelsie H & Mark's performance was awesome, I practically had to take a cold shower after watching Katee & Joshua's routine! And knowing how out of their element they felt with the samba made their performance that much more remarkable.

I liked Twitchington and Courtney & Gev equally. My 5th fave was Jessica and Will. I agree that I found my focus shifting to Will, but Jessica was great too.

Of the remaining three, I liked Chelsea T and Thayne better than you did as I think the degree of difficulty and precision required in the quick step is much higher than that required in the jazz and contemporary routines - two styles that it seems most of the competitors are more comfortable with. The contemporary routine felt weak. I didn't really get it in relation to the story they were supposedly telling. Enjoyed Chris and Comfort's routine more.

definitely right on with the top 4 couples. those 4 are easily the best and favorites.

however, you are sadly mistken when calling kherington's face (who i love, btw) "gangster". she was the complete opposite of gangster in the face. she had a cheerleader face for at least half the routine.

Your top four was exactly my top four and actually your top two was exactly my top two.

All in all it was a good night for my favorites. Go Gev! Go Mark!

Shane said (I think on this very site) that he's still going to be involved with SYTYCD. I just guess it's at a lesser level.

Don't forget, he choreographed last week's group number.

I think I disagree with everything you just said.

The African Jazz was awful because of the song choice. That was so distracting and I'm not sure what Tyce was smoking when he choreographed that.

Jessica is the one bringing Will down. I don't even think she's that good. I think he's more able to pull off other dance styles than Jessica. He's been consistently good every week.

The Sonja choreograhy was awful.

I love Adam Shankman guest judging. He's the only one with advice and actual input after each of the dances. Nigel criticizes but doesn't follow it up with anything. All Mary does is talk about her train and scream. I honestly think they try really hard to be funny this season rather than giving useful commentary.

I am usually VERY positive about this show, but I feel this season has a level of cheesiness that prior seasons have not had. I don't know.

I do love Mark/Chelsea and Joshua/Katee.

I hope to see Dave White hip hop chreography soon, also.

lol. You listed Joshua and Katee twice in your prediction for the Top 10.
But i completely agree with that prediction. The judges keep saying that it's so hard to see who the front runners/best couples are this season but I think it is so obviously going to be in the Top 8.
Personally, i think Thayne and Chelsie, Jessica and Will, and Chris and Comfort will be in the bottom three and i hope that Jessica and Chris go home. I could see Will and Comfort making an interesting couple.
I personally enjoy Tabitha and Napoleon's choreography better when it is more of a 'serious' piece, like the Katee and Joshua one during the first week and the Chelsea and Mark one this week.
I was worried for Twitch and Kherington when i saw they were getting a 'light-hearted' routine from T+H, based on how Rayven and Jamie's worked out, but of course, they pulled it through and it was a great routine.
Hopefully tonight's results show will be good.
(BTW, there is something wrong with the page and it lists "Read" a bunch of times in a row =/)

Oh No - Jason, have you jumped on the Kherington bandwagon?? I was hoping you were being sarcastic when you talked about her gangster face and hard moves...

Mark was awesome, but Chelsie can go home anytime. He's completely outshone her for the last 2 weeks.

Going home this week: Jessica and Chris.
