joshua:katee :: georgie:lance

wow: a cross-interest post.

through my times following the tour and figuring out the whole mindset of cycling, i learned the term "domestique." the consummate domestique is georgie hincapie. lance claims that he would never have won the tour if it had not been for him.

joshua is the ultimate domestique for katee. if she wins, it will definitely be well earned, she has captured a lot of support, but i can't help but wonder what she would be like w/o joshua. don't get me wrong, he's doing really well. i just feel that he brings a very good complement to most female dancers that makes the pair succesful.

i wonder how OMGAMAZING katee would be seen if she was paired up with thayne or someone else. she could have turned out just like kherrington or any of your other really talented contemporary dancers. joshua brought that strength that none of the other dude could and that is what made that pair so great and so different. never before in the competition (i've been watching this show for a while,) has there been a dancer that was built so well for pairs dancing.

great job joshua. i won't take anything away from you, you are rockin' the house, but anyone you partner with will take it down.

as for predictions: last week i was _sure_ that mark was going to go. now i'm not as confident. but it's hard to see twitch leave (but then again who predicted mark > will?) as for the girls, i think that either courtney or chelsie could leave. they both had a good performance and a bad performance. while chelsie seems to wow everyone when she ballrooms, courtney's personality is really starting to grow (too little too late?) we'll see.
