The clip is very funny!
So, tonight was the night for Dan Karaty to take a page from Nigel's book and be a little on the harsh side.
My top two were easy. The rest were a little muddled, especially in the middle. Here is my take on the seven couples, in order from top to bottom:
Donyelle and Benji were, by far, the best of the evening. Benji again proves his versatility and ability to entertain ... but tell me, has benji ever really loved a woman?!?
Heidi and Ryan ... my out loud comment to the television was, "Yes ma'am!" Despite Dan K.'s overly harsh critique, I think Heidi is flying under the radar and consistently doing an outstanding job.
Natalie and Musa were hot, but it was ALL Natalie.
Jessica and Jaymz did a good job. I think Dan needs to remember that the average American viewer doesn't know the difference between hip hop styles. They looked good.
Martha and Travis may be good technically, but they bore me. There is little "oomph."
Allison and Ivan ... once again, Allison was the number. She is mismatched with Ivan.
Ashlee and Dmitry ... this is was a tough routine to judge, and I don't think it will be enough to keep them out of the bottom three. Placing them at the bottom is less about them as dancers and more about the choreography and style.
For Dmitry's sake, I would like to see he and Ashlee in the bottom three along with Allison and Ivan. That way, Ivan and Ashlee can go home, leaving Dmitry and Allison to dance together.
"I am open, and I am willing,
For to be hopeless would seem so strange.
It dishonors those who go before us,
So lift me up to the light of change."
