Cat's dress is gorgeous and I'm willing to bet it's... Marchesa, maybe? It certainly reminds me of somethings they've done.
Tonight's Guest Judge is: Toni Basil. I get a dollar every time she says street, m'kay?
Interview Theme of the Night: What would you be doing if you weren't a dancer. Not all answers are shown.
1. Karla and Johnathan doing a Hip Hop? routine choreographed by Dave Scott to ? by ? - I missed most of whatever they were doing, but from the play back, they looked out of sync with each other and I'm ready for them to go. I don't think the judges liked it, but I couldn't hear over my brother.

2. Asuka and Vitolio doing a Jazz routine choreographed by Mandy Moore to Heartbreaker by Pat Benetar. It wasn't as good as last week. Vitolio is a better partner than Auskar deserves and I'm ready for her to go home. Auskar is still phoning it in and Vitolio is working his butt off. The judges sort of agree.

3. Melissa and Ade doing a Rumba routine choreographed by Tony Meredith to Emotion by Destiny's Child - I think they are slowly becoming my quiet favorite. They're simply gorgeous together. Their partnering is fantastic. Their moves are beautiful. I couldn't look away. They're not ostentatious, and I think I love them. They may be my the ones to beat. They have great athleticism, musicality, and body flight. Nigel, Mary, and Toni loved it.

4. Janette and Branden doing a Hip Hop routine choreographed by Dave Scott to What a World by Common - I'm looking forward to this. Omg, it's the return of the throne from Neil and what's his face's Two Princes finale piece! EEEE This is Good! They were completely in sync with each other. I hate her costume, and his, and Nigel said it best, it's like Jr Fifty Cent and Cher (Turn Back Time Cher at that). Mary liked it. And I know Toni is going to start saying street as soon as they let her talk. In fact, I think we should have a SYTYCD Drinking game based on the guest judges. For Toni, any time she wears a wacky hat, or says street - you drink.

5. Kayla and Kupono doing a Veanes Waltz routine choreographed by Jean Marc & France Genereaux to Sweet Dreams for You by Jewel - If she's the dreamer and he's the dream, his costumer sucks against the gorgeous floaty chiffon number she's wearing. It would make more sense if she was the dream. And, ouch, that was rough for them. I like together, but I don't think they were strong enough for this, but that they tried very hard and made it look pretty graceful. Nigel really enjoyed it. Mary put them on the hot tamale train.

6. Randi and Evan doing a contemporary? routine choreographed by Wackadoodle Crazypants Mia Michaels to Koop Island Blues by Koop and someone else - Sweet gods. Here she comes. Loony McWackpants of So You Think You Can Dance. I'm not looking forward to this no matter how adorable I think the couple is. Wackypants just called Randi a poodle. It's like a weird French film. He looks like an escaped lunatic and she looks like a flapper floozie. Thank god I like the couple better than the choreographer. That was kind of offensive. Cat called them cheeky. Nigel said it was beautifully danced. Nigel said it was the South of France for him too! Nigel is my Fake TV Uncle. Mary loved them. Toni is a fan of Wackadoodle McWackypants and gave high praise to Mia and the couple.

7. Jason and Caitlin doing a Passe Double routine choreographed by Jean Marc & France Genereaux to O'Fortuna from Carmina Burana - I don't understand the She-Ra and He-Man like costumes, but er, ok? I like the choreographers so I'll roll with it. Ok, now I get it. The skirt is gorgeous and the tricks are awesome. They're supposed to be the Xena and Hercules of Ballroom ore something. I think they have enough energy to work it, but they might need a touch more personality. Nigel thought Jason lost a bit of the chemistry for the sake of playing to the audience, but that Caitlin was lovely. Mary loved it and said it was fearless. Toni enjoyed it.

8. Jeanine and Phillip doing a Broadway routine choreographed by Tyce Diorio to Moses from Signing in the Rain - As much as I love musicals, I still am not a fan of the Broadway pieces on this show. I like this couple so I'll look to like if looking liking move. I don't find Phillip attractive, but I think he's adorable and might have to clone a mini-Phillip to keep in my pocket. Oh, how cute are they?! SO CUTE! It's perfect to put Phillip in a piece that Gene Kelly brought to the world... Wait a second. There is a GIANT whole in Phillip's pants! One way or the other, they were as sweet as cream and as adorable as can be! Nigel is setting Phillip to get cut. Mary really enjoyed it. Toni thought it was adorable. Man, there are feathers all over the place, even floating up by the judges.

I am not voting for couples 1 or 2 despite my love for Vitolio, and probably not 5 or 6 or 7. So I guess it's 3, 4, and 8 for me. How about you guys?
