Cat is wearing another little silver dress. It's better than last week's -- a better fit, anyway. Her hair is nice and smooth, too.
Courtney/Twitch. This is yet another "crazy girlfriend" routine and it makes me uncomfortable. Why do they keep on doing that? Because "crazy boyfriend" sounds scary and abusive? Oh, right. Anyway, this kind of bores me. Ditto the judges, who kind of ramble at each other about nothing for a long time.
Courtney. All of the human interest stuff is surprisingly enjoyable. She's really good and really sweet about Gev. (Maybe they weren't doing it? I'm so confused.) The fix is in, though. The judges seem to be telling everyone that Courtney is not the winner of this competition. She's "young" and "not the best dancer." Her routine is the same one she's done every time she's had the chance.
Joshua/Katee. It's a Wade Robson routine. I almost crap myself. And yes, it's that good. Wow. Joshua is going to win. There's no way anything else could happen.
Courtney/Katee. This sucks. It's a stupid routine and the girls don't dance it very well. It's all about the frippy costumes and the bullshit umbrellas. And, yeah, Nigel tells us that Katee is much better than Courtney.
Twitch. Another good interview. Twitch is cast as the underdog. Poor Twitch has to praise the stupid French Canadian angel baby Viennese waltz. Of course. His performance almost redeems last week's teeth and glasses mugging. There's a little bit of hateful business between Nigel and Mary.
Joshua/Twitch. A Russian dance-off? Oh my God. I can't stand it. And the winner is . . . Josh, right? He had the one "holy shit" moment in the entire piece. Does it matter, though? Those boys have smoking chemistry. Mandy is practically fanning herself over the whole man-on-man thing. Cat, who was practically drooling over the Josh-Twitch pairing at the beginning of the show, does nothing to help. Um, Mary is, surprisingly, professional. Nigel talks about the men's thighs and then says "fo sho." Make it stop.
Katee. Of course we have to re-hash that stupid bullshit from Las Vegas about Katee maybe not wanting it enough. Cat confirms that Katee didn't do anything wrong -- thank you! Katee still doesn't have much of a personality. She kicks the shit out of her solo, though, even if she still needs help choosing songs. Seriously. Mandy deflates Katee's chances a little bit by encouraging her to take some more classes. I'm guessing -- based on watching Center Stage -- that even dancers at the top of their game are constantly taking classes, but Mandy sounds like she's extolling Katee as "America's favorite dancer . . . who could use some more work."
Twitch/Katee. This is very nice. OK. It bothers me that Michael Bublie's cover of "Feeling Good" is the soundtrack and it bothers me that the fringe on Katee's dress reminds me of human hair. (OK -- I watched Hedwig and the Angry Inch again last night.) Then the judging takes forever as Mandy and Nigel wet their respective panties over what Twitch looks like in a tuxedo. Is it weird that Mary is the one judge who can stay focused tonight?
Joshua. Wow. Good interview -- although I'm starting to get interview fatigue -- and then he has the best individual routine we've seen yet (OK, the best individual routine that was not Gev's). How can this kid not win?
Bzzzzzttttt -- Typepad crapped out here and I lost/forgot what I was going to say about the rest of the evening.
