I can’t believe I’m admitting this, but some of my least favorite people are actually growing on me. My first favorite number of the night was Ashleigh and Jakob. (Who knew?!) But I think most of that is related to the fact that they got a Tabatha and Napolean Hip Hop routine. Seriously, those 2 make amazing routines. But, the girl (Ashleigh) is slowly growing on me. My other favorite was Channing and Victor. Another surprise. I absolutely loved the quirky bird jazz routine. But, on top of that, was that Nigel said it best. For the first time, Channing looked like she was having fun. So, she was actually a lot of fun to watch!

I liked a couple of the other routines as well, but they were forgettable. It certainly seemed that the obvious “bad” one was Kevin and Karen. Although I think it’s nice to hear feedback from the judges at the end of the night, I do feel like it’s more of a curse to the contestants. Having every judge state (before people vote) who they think will be in the bottom, will most likely make people not vote for that couple. I kind of think that’s Nigel’s way of trying to influence fans to vote for the best… not just their personal favorite. We’ll see.

I’m interested to see who else ends up in the bottom. If I had to guess, I would say Kathryn, Noelle, or possibly Ryan and Ellenore. It’s coming down to personalities now. And if I can’t remember (by the next morning) who they are, or what they danced, then they are clearly not stand-outs.

Who were your favorites, and who should go home tonight? Results on Fox, 8pm PST.
