Top 7 Couples
Tonight’s Judges: Nigel Lithgoe, Mary Murphy, Tabitha and Napoleon
It’s yet another WTF is Cat Deeley Wearing night. They’ve also done something strange to her hair.
Jessica and Will – first up is a jive routine. Music: “Choo Choo Ch’Boogie,” Five Guys Named Moe (Original Broadway Cast). Through the whole thing they’re making goofy faces, it’s too much like they’re pretending to do the dance and not enough like they’re actually doing it. There is...

Tonight’s Judges: Nigel Lithgoe, Mary Murphy, Adam Shankman
Cyd Charisse, the famous dancer, died this week at age 86. Nigel talked about her for a moment to open the show. After that and the usual time-filling babble, they get on to the dancing:
Kherington and Twitch – This week they’ve drawn hip hop and choreographers Tabitha and Napoleon. Music: “Don’t Touch Me (Throw Da Water On ‘Em),” Busta Rhymes. The story is a prison break,...
Top 9 Couples
Tonight’s Judges: Nigel Lithgoe, Mary Murphy, Mia Michaels
The episode starts off with Cat Deeley (wearing something that looks like it’s part dress, part poodle) telling us that the dancers have been together long enough now to have annoyed each other, and introduces a montage of Chelsea and Thayne talking about how they feel about each other. It’s boring. Chelsea says Thayne is too superstitious. This week they are doing jazz, and their choreographer...
Vegas Week
Judges: Napoleon and Tabitha, Mia Michaels, Debbie Allen, Mary Murphy, Nigel
Day 1
A hip hop routine by Napoleon and Tabitha starts off day 1 in Vegas. Popper Robert decides to quit because he found the choreography too hard and he didn’t want to drag a partner down with him. He says he knows he is going home anyway and doesn’t want to get someone else eliminated with him. Nigel calls him up on stage...
Last Night of Auditions
The show starts off by showing a montage of hip hop dancing from previous cities (interspersed with Nigel mugging his gangsta face/poses) and a shot of a really scary red-haired black woman saying in a hyuk-hyuk hillbilly voice “yeeayah!”
Before the Milwaukee auditions start, they take a moment to show some auditions from previous cities that were not previously shown. Somebody kisses a ferret. Somebody talks up their friend saying “she’s got heart,...
Sorry I’m getting this recap up almost a week late—we had some emergencies here at the house this week with one of my cats. However, I’m making up for it by including pictures! Not good pictures, because I had to take photos of the TV screen, but pictures none the less!
Charleston, NC
Day 1
We start off with the typical lame city intro montage which kind of looks like it takes place in a trailer park, and...
Last week on the season premiere I didn’t take notes, so I can’t recap that episode (though it is still on my TiVo and I hope to do it retroactively in the next few days). Starting this week, however, I am going to try to write a recap of each new episode. This is episode 2, auditions from Salt Lake City, Utah and Dallas, Texas.
Salt Lake City
Day 1
Chelsie Hightower – I get so tired of...
Oh where to begin? This movie was such a horrible, horrible mess! I really wish MST3k was still on because this is EXACTLY the kind of thing that would have been perfect for them. The first thing that stood out was the cheeseball opening graphic sequence…

SPOILER NOTICE: This article contains some spoilers from already-aired episodes. If you haven’t seen all the episodes to date, and don’t want to be spoiled, do not read further. I sometimes feel like I’m the only one on the planet that watches the two Stargate franchises (Stargate: SG-1 and Stargate: Atlantis), but I love them. Yes, they’re cheesy. Yes, they can be cliché. So what? They’re fun and they entertain me. When I found out that...
