I thought the judges were light on technical critiques for all of the dancers. I thought maybe, for once, they weren’t trying to sway voters. Then the terrible hip hop number happened (I think the worst Tabitha and Napoleon choreo yet) and no on bothered to comment on how little Chelsea danced. Then I decided they didn’t want to sway voters to NOT vote for Chelsea and Twitch. (Twitch’s mambo was lame.)

I find Courtney to be more versatile in style and characterization than Chelsea, so I would love to see her stay for the finale. I also like oddity, so I hope Mark stays. Joshua and Katee seem like a given.

Wasn’t that hip hop routine awful? I almost threw up all over myself.

I was pretty undecided on Chelsie vs. Courtney until then, but after seeing Courtney’s jazz number and this piece of garbage, my mind was made up.

It’s a hard call all around, for me–and blaming Chelsie for the choreography of a piece seems…uh…ridiculous, would probably be the best way to put it, so excuse me if I don’t join in. Sort of like praising Mark and Courtney just for getting the really good number, as opposed to fucking killing it (like they did), which seems a bit more to the point. This sudden swell of dislike for Chelsie also strikes me as sort of hearkening back to the whole stop telling me how great Will is, already! stance, which I didn’t love, either; new schtick, anyone?
That said, sadly, I think Twitch may be going home tonight. The Pasha of S.4–obviously less well-trained, but just as likeable. I’m so glad he came back.

As a general rule, if a dancer isn’t given much to do, more often than not it’s because the choreographers are trying to protect him/her a bit and work around deficiencies. There hasn’t been too much of it this season as compared to previous seasons (see: Cedric in season 3, Musa in season 2).

But there’s been some: consider Twitch and Katee in the “door routine” last week, where Twitch got a fair amount of “stand around and lean against the door while Katee busts ass.” Now obviously he didn’t need to be protected nearly as much as Cedric did, but they definitely let Katee take the bulk of the work. And I say this as a dedicated fan of Twitch who is disappointed that he’s likely headed home.

Will explain later, but I say Twitch & Katee. Maybe Josh & Katee.
