The problem with shows like this, is that when you are so impressed from the beginning, as the show progresses, you expect so much more every week. And the first half seemed to prove that. No one was bad, but I just wasn’t blown away. Clearly, Nigel thought so too.

However, everything that the show lacked in the first half, Ellen made up for completely! Wasn’t she absolutely hilarious?! It helps that she’s just about one of my favorite people. But, I don’t think anyone can deny that every time she opened her mouth, you couldn’t help but laugh.

Fortunately, the second half was a major improvement. Jeanine and Brandon’s number kicked it off. It was awesome!! I also loved Jason and Kayla’s second piece. And I literally cried by the end of Melissa and Ade’s contemporary piece about breast cancer. I don’t mean to veer from the topic, but one of the reasons I love Melissa so much is that she seems to have a fabulous husband. Not many guys could come and watch their wife be utterly romantic and sensual with another guy. He has been so supportive and is obviously so proud of her. How cool that he was there holding a breast cancer poster.

I know I didn’t mention a lot about the dances. But it’s now to the point that people are voting for their favorite person. So, whether someone deserves to go or not, I don’t think I could even guess who’s going home next. If I were to pick my least favorites (based SOLELY on personality) it would be Brandon and Janette. However, as far as dancing goes, I think either Evan or Jason should go. Jason impressed me last week, but his solo has never been good! For once, I actually think all the girls are on the same level. Janette’s solo didn’t impress me at all last night, and I loved the other 3. But overall, she has been amazing. For the first time, I actually voted last night. (For Melissa, Jeanine, and Ade.) If any one of my favorites goes home tonight, I at least feel like I did my part.

Who do you think it’s going to be tonight? Watch the results at 9pm PST, on Fox.
