Who knows. Loved Travis' routine, Dave Scott's hip hop and Sonja's jazz routines!! Can't wait for more.

I hope Billy Bell is OK - so sad to hear that he was ill and had to pull out of the show. From what we had been shown so far -he is an AMAZING dancer.

Jakob - WOW. Just WOW.

I agree that perhaps the judges intentionally put Russell in the bottom 2 just to see his solo. He is a beast! I just love him, he's just got that "thing".

Loved Sonja's jazz routine. She is so inventine and unique.

Okay now What. The. Hell.... I cannot believe that they got rid of Bianca. She was fantastic! The look of heartbreak on her face, her families faces and her fellow dancers faces pretty much summed up how I felt. Bad decision judges.

Warning: Long post ahead, sorry!

Random thoughts from this week's episode (which I was pretty iffy about to be totally honest, and I LOVE this show!):

Tennis? Tennis with Hip Hop? Really? Come on now! I still adore Russell, he's fabulous.

Damn, Jakob picked ballroom...argh! I can't wait to see him do just about anything else. I don't like Ashleigh, not sure why the judges do. Hmmph.

The Broadway routine...eh. I like Victor and Bianca, but this was just sort of blah for me. Bummer, again!

Nathan and Mollee's Bollywood routine was pretty good. I always love the Bollywood routines, but this wasn't my favorite...it seemed easier maybe? I'm not quite sure, but the last 2 seasons were much better, imo.

Phillip and Channing + Samba = ick. Not much else to say, it looked totally awkward and anything but effortless.

Am I the only one who isn't madly in love with Karen? It feels like it! The hip hop routine with Kevin was decent, but I really didn't think she was nearly as fantastic as the judges did. She's a stunning woman, but that doesn't mean she can do no wrong. Kevin however, rocked it out.

I think I'm falling for Legacy... He was really great this week, surprisingly so. Kathryn's my favorite girl so far, she's a beautiful emotional dancer. I am absolutely crazy about Stacey's routine, saving that on the DVR for a while!

Oh thank you dance gods...a Wade routine!! I loved the concept, so damn cool. Peter seemed to really grasp the character and shocked the hell out of me, he was really great! Pauline is a great dancer, but didn't seem to pull off the concept as well in my eyes. It's like Pauline was dancing as the character and Peter was the character, who happened to be dancing.

I really liked the Argentine Tango! Ellenore pulled it off like a champ and Ryan is still smoking hot. The routine was totally believable and interesting...loved it.

What did you guys think? Who are your favorites so far?

Great recap on last week's performance show, Camnagem.

My favourite thing out of both shows this week was the Dave Scott routine that opened the results show. HOT.

Loved Nigel's redressing of Nathan and Mollie when they were "saved". They had better step it up because their showing this week was pretty bad.

Russell is love.

I can't believe they let Channing go over Karen this week. Not that I'm a fan of Channing necessarily but I would certainly pick her over Karen! I don't know why the judges keep saving Karen; I personally can't stand her!

Sorry to see Kevin go but there is still Russell and Legacy to represent and they are both better overall dancers than Kevin.

Still LOVING Russell!!

So sick of Karen...really, let her go already! She can go "smolder" somewhere else.

I'm still loving Russell too! He seems like such a genuine and warm person to boot. Love his smile.

I thought Legacy and Kathryn were awesome this week with the paso doble! He's adorable too, loved the video from his childhood and his dad bribing him to dance.
