Week 5 Bonus Picks
I tweeted it before, and I’ll blog it here again: that episode was excellente! Favorite of the season so far. And in some ways, favorite episode of many seasons.
Perhaps with the exception of Mollee and Nathan, every couple had at least one dance I thought was fantastic. I supposed M&N’s cancan was decent. It just didn’t do it for me the same as everyone else’s best dance of the evening.
Ashleigh. is. amazing. I mean, so is Jakob, but we knew that. I guess his story just doesn’t have quite the same impact as hers.
And wow, I’ve never loved Sonja’s choreography as much as I did last night. That one move where Jakob was holding Ashleigh completely still diagonally upside down was… Gah! Sonja! Your choreography! Your eyebrows! Amazing!
And and AND, I’ve been cracking down on Bowflex lately, but last night he was fantastic. And did anyone else think he looked much less beefy than usual? In fact, I thought (and you may disagree with me here) the di Lello’s were the only two teams that killed both their routines.
Yeah, so I loved it. Finally the season has become what I actually watch this show for. And I have to say, it’s episodes like these that make me feel bad for some of my snarky comments about the dancers early on.
I’m not ready to take back the pervy comments, though. Last night’s perv factor was in full “paint your face across a woman’s chest” effect.
Anyway, bonus picks bonus picks! Who’s it going to be? One girl, one guy. Lay their heads down… on my pillow. Whoa, that wasn’t pervy at all. :S
Lay their heads down in the comments below.

They are just not bringing the funk, plus her solo was weak last week

I feel kind of bad because I have kind of disliked Bowflex from the beginning- I don’t really know why, he just bugged me. But I don’t dislike him any more. He seems genuinely nice, and he has been dancing so well! Go Bowflex!
I thought everyone danced so well this show- how can I pick who will go home? Sigh….
Ok I will go with Victor and Noelle.

That episode was AWESOME! (Wish I hadn’t been dealing with food poisoning and could have enjoyed it better.) Completing agree with you, John, about this season finally living up to its potential.
So, it’s tough to choose people to leave, but based on the popularity factor, I’m going to go with Viktor and Karen to leave. Absolutely adored their tango though!

It was an amazing set of dances.
I’m just going to go with
Karen and Viktor
because my little brain can’t figure out if either or both of those smiley hyperactive CanCan-ers will get axed and I thought every one else did something really fantastic last night.
Happy Thanksgiving!

Well I did love the tango, based on past performances I’m gonna go with Victor and Karen
Carmen on 25 Nov 2009 at 1:13 pm #
well, my picks are:
Victor & Karen
I somehow still don’t think that the judges will send Mollee (& Nathan) home, although she (or both?) probably would deserve it at this point.
And yes, last night’s show was pretty amazing and I really enjoyed watching it!

Ok this week is where it’ll probably all fall apart for me! I’m going Victor and Karen for my bonuses!
Jules on 25 Nov 2009 at 3:22 pm #
okay, as I said, I haven’t seen it, but Jenn was fantastic enough to email her thoughts on the dances, and with that in mind, I’m going with Karen and Viktor, today. happy day before Thanksgiving! xoxoxo

I don’t wanna say that Victor’s going home but I have a feeling that he might…
So, Karen and Victor… bye, bye, bye…

Karen and Victor are going home.

ARGH!! Tough choice tonight. Part of me wants to go with Mollee bc the judges seem to really like Karen – but I just don’t think they’ll get rid of her this early. So I have to go with Karen and Victor. If she’s in the bottom again – I don’t think they can justify keeping her – no matter how much they like her – cause she just isn’t getting traction with the viewers/voters. And if I had to pick weakest routine – I’d have to go with Victor and Karen’s second – their hip hop. Plus I just think the other couples are all so strong – I mean Ryan/Ellenore, Ashleigh/Jakob, and Kathryn/Legacy? – they aren’t going anywhere – and I’d argue that Russell/Noelle are pretty safe too. So the ones in danger are Mollee/Nathan and Victor/Karen – and while I can see them MAYBE taking out Mollee – I don’t think they are ready to let Nathan go – especially with some of the comments about how they can grow by being paired with new people after this week….ok – so enuf analyzing! Karen and Victor for my bonus picks….let’s see how that goes!
