By 8 pm we were already plunked down in front of our 50″ screen in anticipation of this week’s dancing extravaganza but to be honest, none of the routines left a lasting enough impression for us to pick a clear winner by the end of the two-hour show. If we had to cast our vote though, it would be Mark Kanemura and Chelsie Hightower‘s hot Argentine Tango number. Chelsie did a respectable job of Alex da Silva‘s choreography, but Mark was the definite star (and a damn sexy one at that). He had the moves and the attitude and was as we’ve come to expect, as quirky as ever. Our close second was Katee & Joshua with their crazy Broadway routine, which was executed to perfection but didn’t make it to the top of our list because the genre is more of an acquired taste. Morten and I take ballroom so we dug the cortes, gauchos, and fans of the tango.

Peeves: I think the show’s popularity is getting to Nigel Lythgoe‘s head (much as it did Tyra Banks when ANTM rose in fame). I suggest he stick to judging and leave the theatrics to the professionals. His acting was painfully exaggerated during the ensemble number last Thursday. Getting up and grabbing his crotch this week was going over the top. I adore Mia Michaels but really, I think she wanted to take all the male dancers home with her tonight…and must we waste time praising the choreographer after every single dance? Finally, stop commending Matt for being strong enough to do lifts with Kourtni L. Keep it up and the poor girl’s going to stop eating!

Let’s see who gets eliminated tomorrow night. Last week’s cut of Rayven and Jamie was right on the mark we thought. For this week, our money’s on Suzie, who’s not as agile and quick as her younger competitors, but as for the men, that’s a toughie cause they’re a stronger bunch than the women this season. If we had to pick, it’d be Suzie’s partner Marquis.
