thanx tan for posting...i was going to do it but you beat me to the punch!!!

I thought last night’s show was great. I was worried that I wouldn’t like this top 20 compared to last season’s, but I was so wrong. It’s a good thing that so many of them were in the audience to remind me who they were again!!! I am a little bit disappointed that they did not show the contestant’s reactions to the pairings!!!
Jamie and Hok (Hip Hop) --- This should have been a slam dunk for Hok, but it wasn’t. In fairness to Hok though, the routine was a little bit underwhelming, so I think they might have dumbed it down a little for Jamie. However this team should be SAFE because of Hok’s popularity!!!
Anya and Danny (Jive) --- This dance was more suited for Anya, and she did very well. And to his credit, Danny also did very well on it. I loved the back split he did between her legs!!! I did not see the cockiness from Danny that I have seen, so that was a plus for me. Prediction: SAFE.
Kameron and Lacey (Contemporary) --- Again, this was a dance that played to Kameron’s strengths, and he did very well. I have to disagree with the judges, since I think he was much more than a ‘prop’ for Lacey. Lacey can give me the credit for her great performance, since she is trying to prove me wrong for wanting to hate her. I have to admit that she really gave great passion to this routine!!! She still needs to tone down the attitude after the routine. So far, this team seems to have the best chemistry. Another SAFE.
Sabra and D-Trix (Disco) --- This was the first routine that I didn’t much care for. They did not seem to have much chemistry together. Sabra did well for only dancing for four years, but there was just something off. This team could possibly be in trouble, but I think they will be SAFE because of D-Trix!!!
Ashlee and Ricky (Tango) --- I’m sorry, but this pairing looked awkward, because Ashlee is so much taller than Ricky. But I imagine she is taller than just about all the guys, except maybe Cedric. And for some reason, Ricky looked uncomfortable in his jacket. A little bit of trivia here, but did you know that Ashlee and future American Idol Season 7 winner Baylee Brown once won a dancing pairs competition together in Texas? Looks like my girl Baylee can do more than just sing!!! Anyway, I predict that this couple will be BOTTOM THREE!!!
Sara and Chuy (Pop Jazz) --- I loved this routine. Very, very entertaining, and best of the night for me!!! I had not liked Sara up to this point, mostly I suppose because of her being a B girl. But she did a superb job with this, and I commend her!!! Easily SAFE!!!]
Pasha and Jess (Waltz) --- Just like his original partner Anya, Pasha got a dance that was right in his element. And he did not disappoint with it!!! Like Nigel, Jess won me over the first day with her ‘baby oil’ routine. She did a good job on this dance following Pasha’s lead. Another SAFE team!!!
Fiana and Cedric (Hip Hop) --- Unfortunately for her, Fiana could not keep up with Cedric, who was in his strong suit. They seemed to be dancing individually, and their moves were not together. This team could very well be BOTTOM THREE!!!
Neil and Lauren (Salsa) --- Lauren is one of the early favorites, and looked good on this dance. I agreed with the judges assessment of Neil dancing too upright. He needed to get down and dirty. This team needed more chemistry. But I think they will be SAFE because of Lauren’s popularity.
Jimmy and Shauna (Broadway) --- I usually like Tice’s Broadway routines, but not this one. I thought Jimmy was OK, but did not like Shauna. They lacked chemistry, and could have done more with it. Sorry to say, they will be BOTTOM THREE!!!
Bottom Three Teams: Ashlee/Ricky, Fiana/Cedric, and Jimmy/ Shauna
I think Ashlee's long legs will help her in her solo. Fiana could follow her brother's lead from last season, and be the first one out. But I think instead that Shauna will be the one going home.
I like Ricky and hope he does well in his solo. Cedric does a cool Hip Hop, so he could be safe also. I predict that Jimmy will follow his partner out the door.
