En pointe! That is what I was trying to think of. Please forgive me for my dance jargon ignorance! :tongue: Melissa is beautiful and you can most definitely see her love of ballet.

I love this show!

Angie, my husband thought the same thing about the pas de deux, though I didn’t remember a previous one – probably because it wasn’t en pointe. I’ll have to give him his moment when he gets home tonight.

I am extremely happy they did the pas de deux. Ballet is the foundation of dance, and I love the fact that they played to the strength of the dancer. It isn’t every season that you have someone with Melissa’s specific training, and I am happy to have seen it. Plus, you could see the happiness radiating from her as she danced it. You can tell how much she loves ballet. I can’t say enough good things about it. I thought Ade did well, but the nature of this type of dance is to showcase the woman, which was done. I actually voted for them (I think that’s the first time I have ever voted.)

I think it is very difficult to predict a bottom 3 couples this week. I think Evan and Randi will be in the bottom, but don’t think either one will be sent home. It’s true that due to the overall high level of talent this year, there is no clear front runner.

Something I have to add that I didn’t put in the blog last night because I had to research it. The judges went on and on and on about the pas de deux from last night being the First! Time! Ever! I kept thinking that no, I can remember them doing it before but I couldn’t put my finger on who it was. I was leaning to toward Katie from last year, but wasn’t sure. I was right! Katie and Will did a pas de deux last year to David Archuleta singing “Imagine.” No, it wasn’t in toe shoes or anything, but it was still a pas de deux. So, take that, Nigel!

Ahh…I feel better now. :tongue:

[quote comment="68489"]Angie:
“Don’t think I loved that choreography. I liked it but I didn’t. It just wasn’t a memorable dance, but I think Evan and Randi did an excellent job with what they were given. I love them! I want them to stay!”

Totally agree on this. I still love the “cute couple” Evan and Randi. They put a smile on my face !
Not too crazy about Mia’s comment about Randi’s “heavy” dancing. Like we couldn’t figure out what she meant.[/quote]

I just felt that despite the chreo, they were so hard on the dancers when clearly, I think they ALMOST made the routine itself likeable! I just can’t get over the smoothness of Evan and how adaptable Randi is. Instead, they made it sound like Evan crapped out half of the routine and that “heavy” comment just rubbed me the wrong way. The same goes with Jason and Caitlin. I’m sorry, but I’d be damned to see these couples in the bottom 3. They were great tonight, so I don’t care what anyone else says.

[quote comment="68497"]I thought Ade & Melissa did very well, although IMO, Melissa outshown Ade a bit. But still a great job ![/quote]

I think so to, but I also think he was a victim of the choreography and the dance itself. He wasn’t really given ANY dancing to do. I think that is unfair.

Also, really, tell me, are they EVER going to give the pas de deux to these other dancers? I think not. It is NOT a coincidence that Melissa drew that from the hat.

[quote comment="68495"]Oh my gosh, I LOVE Phillip & Jeanine ! Amazing ! I think they’ll be safe !
( Funny comment from Phillip about “Chains being all over THEIR apartment.” Hmmmmmmmmm….)
:tongue: :tongue: :tongue:[/quote]

I thought the chain concept was really cool and they did a great job with it! Mia talked out her bootie the whole night and she just went on and on and on ad naseum about the chain and her focus and blah blah blah. Gah. That woman is annoying!
