Man, I missed the opening number by Shane Sparks! I had to pee and my stupid Verizon DVR wasn’t counting the results show as the same series as the Wednesday show. *edit* Okay I finally got to see the Shane Routine. Kick Ass! Does anyone doubt that Comfort was running that whole show?

Bottom Three Girls:

First up -Chelsea Traile. Her solo was athletic, enthusiastic, and bubbling with personality, despite the awkward wardrobe choice of handkerchief and diaper.

Susie’s solo wasn’t bad, but she obviously has a limited repertoire. Representin’ Miami yo! - by wearing leg-warmers?

Comfort’s Solo was above average, but not fantastic. I think she suffered from a lack of choreography ideas for her first solo. If she ends up here in the bottom again, she’ll improve it.

And the loser is:

YAY they sent little miss Miami packing! I will not be missing Susie. I thought she put in a lot of effort on her solo, but that still left her a one-trick pony with a rather poor trick! Thank god because I have hit my lifetime limit of hair extension flipping viewing. HA! My grammar checker isn’t even flagging that sentence as insane.

Bottom Three Guys:

Thayne goes first and basically proves what we already knew. He’s kind of charming, he smiles WAY too big, and he’s absolutely middle of the pack in every way.

Marquis turned in a sweet performance, in which he obviously put his heart and soul. It got a bit out of control near the end, but isn’t too much effort better than too little? He’s a bit effeminate for this show (Nigel seems to have a pet peeve about it), so his days were numbered from the beginning.

Personally I thought Chris’s solo was the worst of the night. The choreography had very little thought put into it, and the intensity level was very low. I know he’s not a tree, but I’m having trouble finding anything about him that really shines.

And the loser is:

Boo. I think Marquis got robbed in this decision. None of these three guys is going to win the competition, but Marquis seemed like the only one with a chance to improve with a different partner. Chris is tragically white and despite his good intentions and his sweet puppy dog look, is going to fail at every single dance that requires any soul. Thayne is just average too.
I hated how they ragged on Marquis for doing “all tricks” in his solo, when normally they bitch at people for not showing off their best stuff! I thought his solo was the best of the night. I also wanted to see Comfort or Chelsea or Marquis with a different partner. Are they trying to keep all the partners together or something? They always run out of time at the end of the show and rush through one or both of the kick-offs so you don’t get to hear their reasoning.
