I love Madison & Zach but this SD is scoring over 5 points lower than the top scores this season. It is not the vehicle that is going to let them break into the top tier. I want them to go back and rework it and be the dynamite team they can be.

The Ikettes would kill for Olivia's costume. She's a find. It's a good dance, but they need more energy. Tina Turner could power a city with all the energy she generated dancing. They need a bit more of that quality. But an Ike/Turner program was an inspired choice.

Smart and Diaz have my favorite SD of the season so far. I love the use of the same piece of music for the two dances ... Genius! And I love the use of the twizzles (which usually I say, oh yes, we have to suffer this) to bring in the new musical style and tempo with a bang:luv17:

Also, Olivia smart is fabulous and charismatic ... and Adria matches her in charisma. Just dazzling.:love:

F-B and Sorensen really performed that this time. It was always good, it just hasn't been that interesting yet, until today.

Shoot, I missed almost everyone. How was H/D's dance this time? Did the hip hop part look better/worse/same?

At least I get to see S/B. He looks like a greaser, but she looks club, so I don't know what to expect.

I really did not like that much, but it's unquestionably the most energy and personality they've ever shown.

I liked the start and the end, but my stream happened to freeze in the middle. The only complaint I'd have are that the music cuts seem kind of unrelated.

I love S/B, but after watching the brilliant carwreck that is Hubell/Donohue everything seems so ordinary. :scratch2:

Why are so many of the dance couples so predictable and safe?

I loved that dance from S/B. She rocks the costume ... isn't it something how the dance chicks can dress now.

But it was their dancing, their expression of the music, especially At Last, that I really appreciated. And that lift with her standing on his leg, and her arm and body movements to the music, rather than just being still up there ... very dynamic.
