Top 14 Dancers - My Thoughts - Feel free to comment!!

Dancers: Ashleigh and Jakob
Dance: Hip-hop by Tabitha and Napoleon to Watcha Say by Jason Derulo (Good song !) Amanda’s Thoughts: As always, love me some NappyTabs and this did not disappoint me in any way. I can’t believe how much Ashleigh has grown on me .. she is just doing such a great job. Whatever negative feelings I had about Ashleigh are gone. This chick is f*cking fierce And Jakob, well he’s just freaking awesome!! And Jakob … he’s just awesome. I just loved this routine, loved it, loved it.

Dancers: Karen and Kevin
Dance: Jazz by Spencer Liff to If My Friends Could See Me Now from Sweet Charity Amanda's ThoughtsYeah, no room for Nigel to talk about her sexuality now, huh? Finally – even though he still found a way to bring it up. Their routine was not that great and neither of them seemed very “into it”. It just didn’t work for me and I doubt it worked for a lot of other people either. Bottom 3 for sure!! I would pick them to go actually – considering what we have left in dancers. Just my opinion though.

Dancers: Noelle and Russell
Dance:Fox Trot by Eddie Simon to Baby (You’ve Got What It Takes) by Michael Buble
Amanda’s Thoughts: I really enjoyed this one! I love both of these dancers and I thought it was a fun and well danced routine. Not the most exciting of the night but memorable. I think Russell is a force in this competition and I think Noelle is too. I hope they are safe.

Dancers: Channing and Victor
Dance: Jazz by Tyce to Blackbird by Bobby McFerrin.
Amanda’s Thoughts: Song choice a little odd – but so was the dance. Thought it was a pretty good fit if you ask me. Reminded me a bit of Wade Robson routines (the hummingbird) but I liked it … and both dancers really did well with the choreography and chemistry if you ask me. They might be in bottom – depending on how people feel about the “quirky” choreography?

Dancers: Kathryn and Legacy
Dance: Paso Doble by Tony Meredith to Pursuit by Ka from Cirque du Soleil
Amanda’s Thoughts:Awesome!! Great routine from both of them. They gave it everything and I thought it was great . I just love them as a couple. They fit so well. I hope they are safe!

Dancers: Ellenore and Ryan
Dance: Contemporary by Travis Wall to Your Ex-Lover’s Dead by Stars
Amanda’s Thoughts: Fabulous! Ellenore was fantastic! Ryan was good and did some great moves/lifts but those were because of his strength. What about his dancing? I would say there were a few awkward moments but I enjoyed the routine. Especially Ellenore, she is freaking awesome!!

Dancers: Mollee and Nathan
Dance: Pop jazz by Laurianne Gibson to Bad Romance by Lady Ga Ga (BTW … LOVE THIS Amanda’s Thoughts: I am so tired of his back-handed comments and tired of him commenting on Mollee and Nathan’s age over and over again. They ARE young, we know that – they know that – do you need to keep telling them that? “You’re so young … we want you to grow … you need to grow …” I mean seriously, they all three kept bringing up last weeks routine and hardly spoke about this routine. I mean, it’s obvious to me that they took their (rude and quite crappy advice if you ask me) and really worked on this routine. You could see the anger and determination in Nathan’s face for sure when they were dancing. I can’t wait to watch that over again! This dance wasn’t near as sexual as the last time – I thought it was formatted pretty well for them and I thought they both did amazing job.

As for who might be in the bottom this week? Oh, that’s a hard one.

1.) Karen and Kevin for sure and will probably go home.

2.) Channing and Victor? I don’t know. I liked it but it was “way out there” and some people may not have really “clicked” with it? I thought they performed it awesome though so this is a shot in the dark. Doubt they will be sent home.

3.) I don’t know on the third … possibly Russell and Noele just b/c of the dance itself. A lot of people don’t always care for the foxtrot? If they are in the bottom, it is only b/c of America's lack of love regarding the Foxtrot - as these two did amazing! I bet they are safe too! Judges like them too much!!
