See, I did not like Clarice and Jess' hip hop - he just couldn't do some of the "hip hop" moves well enough, the whole grabbing the foot and hopping over it looked like it was a kid trying it for the first time. I also think that every time he actually has to lift his partner, you can see him mentally brace himself, accomplish it, then do back to dancing. That's just not pleasant to see. That and his open mouth while dancing far too much.

I actually thought Clarice did very well in their other dance, better than Jess markedly. I did actually like Ryan in one dance, for the first time, but I thought their whole Broadway number was pretty lackluster.

I like Sasha, I hope one of the choreographers gives her something more delicate and flowing next week, they all seem to be thinking "strong girl, give her a "fierce" part" which is getting a bit repetitive. I liked the vulture number and thought they both did well with it ...

It will be interesting to see who is in the bottom three tonight, I don't know after this, but it was nice to see the judges give actual critiques for the most part this week.
