What a bunch of BS. First, I hate routines with props. I wanted to take those stupid phones and shove them up someone's backside. I didn't think that routine was nearly as bad as Nigel made it out to be and if he had to criticize someone he should have criticized the idiot choreographer who thought it would be a good idea to have dancers perform while wrapped in 30 feet of phone cord. Can't believe Marlena was eliminated. She was the best ballroom dancer (girl) on the show. The only routine I really loved was the one with Surge and whoever he danced with (Emily?). Random thoughts: Zack needs some Crest white strips. He has seriously nasty looking teeth. Side note: I did like the routine he did with Jackie. Not bad. I think Stanley is amazing. He reminds me of Danny with those jumps. Casey gets on my nerves. He's just cheesy. I was hoping he would be out and Nick would stay. Can't believe Nigel criticized Benji for "being mean". C'mon,Nigel - You said that the dancers have to rise to every challenge. I remember when Pasha and Sara killed a West Coast swing number that was a lot harder than the one tonight. Guess Nigel had to make some kind of excuse for his girl, Jessica. God, how I miss Wade, Dan, Brian and Shane choreographing. I am so sick of Sonja and Travis and their flailing, angst-ridden comtemp mumbo-jumbo routines.

Like everyone else most of the girls just blend together for me except for Jessica and the blonde girl with the unfortunate haircut. My favs from the auditions were Ricky and Marquette and I still believe that they have the talent, stage presence and personality to make it to the final four. The praise for the Jessica/Ricky routine was ridiculous. It was good - no doubt. But "the best". C'mon, Nigel. We are not stupid. That routine doesn't even make it to the top ten best routines on the show. And speaking of Ricky....he sort of reminds me of Mark, who was one of my favorite dancers EVER. Ricky has that same quirky personality and the way he moves sometimes takes me back to Season 4 and my sweet Mark. Hated the group routine. HATED IT. And Stanley! Stanley, Stanley, Stanley. He was freaking amazing. Had no idea who he was when he first popped up on my screen but was impressed with everything he did. Who will be out next week? One of the ballerinas for sure and maybe Casey - something a little cheesy about him.

So who was Adam yelling at about being unprofessional? Did I miss that part of the show? My favorites are Ricky and Marquet. Everyone else just kind of blends together - especially the girls. Well except for Jessica. I knew from the minute I saw her audition that she would make the top twenty. Nigel would have put her through if she had got up on the stage and just stood there. Not much else to say. Just hoping there are some decent routines this year and that I never have to see Beiber again.
