It was, though, easy to pick a "best of the night". I don't always vote, but I did last night, for Ellenore and Ryan. I'm with Adam - that was the most moving routine of the season so far.
My overall rankings, many of which are ridiculously close:
Ellenore and Ryan
Kathryn and Legacy
Ashleigh and Jakob
Noelle and Russell
Mollee and Nathan
Channing and Victor
Karen and Kevin
I'm guessing that my bottom two will end up in the bottom three, Karen and Kevin because of all the criticism, Channing and Victor because the routine was hard to connect to emotionally. (Adam is right on this one, too, in that the music contributed to the disconnect.)
If Karen and Kevin are in the bottom three, Kevin is probably gone, though they might choose Nathan instead, given the chance. Not sure which woman will go - maybe Channing.
ETA: Wow, nailed all three of the bottom three couples, and the two dancers who were dropped. That </i>never</i> happens. Victor and Karen are a potentially strong couple, if he can challenge her to raise her technique, and she can help his performance.
