Couples to Beat (Down)


                                       This is Cat's attempt at dancing

After the opening routine, Cat introduces the dancers. There are lots of hotpants and a surprising amount of zebra print.
Ok Cat's wearing an interesting lace dress thing that kind of looks like an old wedding dress castoff. But apparently guest judge Adam Shankman really likes it. There's sparkly Mary (hair is back under control, as is cleavage) and Nigel.
They talk blah blah about how "tough" this season is and best year ever and waaahoooo (direct Mary quote).

So let's get right to it!

Twitchington is up next with a hip hop routine from Tab and Nap. They are wearing orange jumpsuits and hats and it's a cute fun routine. They mouth some of the words along to the song and it's really cute. Nigel fakes us out by not listing any bad things after he said he was and Mary screams her head off. Adam makes some suggestions- about stopping and starting and pacing.



      I Can Seee You Nigel You Better Watch It

Courtney and Gev are up and Courtney says Gev looked like a girl as a kid and Gev gushes over Court being a teacher. This week they are doing the rhumba with Tony Meredith and his partner Melanie (from Pasha cha cha fame!). Gev is loving this cause he gets to be all over Court and actually has to grab her butt. It starts with C sliding down Gevs leg and ok Courtney is only wearing half a dress. It starts to get faster and better, oh then butt grab. Nigel really liked it and felt the connection between them (and as Cat says, so did Gev, ha). Dominic is back in the audience, hey! and this routine reminded Nige of Dom and Sabra's rhumba last year (which I think was better). Mary thought it was great too, ditto Adam, but he has suggestions for them too, which is good to have.

Comfort and Chris are up next with a jazz routine. We learn Chris eats everyone's food and Comfort was in beauty pageants as a child. They are working with Tyce, and its an "earthy routine". There are sheets involved. And sliding. They are dancing to Marilyn Manson and it's kind of weird and creepy, but cool. Nigel didn't really like it and thought Chris was too soft, and they didn't really sell it. Ditto Mary and Adam, who just didn't really buy it.


                                       Hey girl, call me I need a new partner

Jessica and Will are next with a Doriana Sanchez disco routine.
It's pretty good- I thought Will killed it and it was really fun. They messed up in a few parts, which Nigel calls them out on but he says they pulled it off anyway. Mary compliments their lifts and says she believed them.

Courtney and Matt are up with doing contemporary from a mohawked choreogapher who kind of looks like Sinead O'Connor. The dance is about comic book characters flirting with each other. It's a cute quirky dance, and I thought it was enjoyable. Nigel liked it but said Matt was a little stiff, but says it was great. Mary's buying what their selling and says it showcased their talent. Adam didn't like the outfit Courtney was wearing, but not her fault, and still good.

Chelsea and Thayne do a quickstep and I kind of forgot about it because it was boring, so there's not much to say.

Next are my favorites from last week, Chelsea and Mark, doing a Tab and Nap hip hop dance. The story is Mark is a workaholic and Chelsea (who look really cute in her sideways baseball hat), is trying to get him to stay with her. Despite the unfortunate outfit of shiny jean leggings and an unflattering vest/shirt combo CHelsea has on, it's really really good. The judges all love it and Adam does a funny imitation of Nigel last week and declares them to couple to beat.

Joshua and Katee close the show with a samba. Katee had a hard time in rehearsal because she doesn't think of herself as sexy. She actually looks really hot with her new bangs and is also only wearing half a dress. The dance is sexy and awesome. Katee and Josh kill it and the judges looove it. Mary screams her brains out and I think she liked it. Ditto Adam.

And that's the show!
