Forgot to post my thoughts:

Mel B: She had great head snaps. Great choreography, with nice fast/slow combos. Her bounce was kinda up, which caused her to not look as smooth through the runs.

Marc: He showed no musicality, no syncopation. I didn't see any connection and he and his partner had bad lines. His partner had to back lead everything. Did much better with the face, and like Jen said, he looks tons better clean shaven.

Wayne: Yipes! Biggest train wreck since Master P. As slow as he was and, still, I saw no foot work. Choreography was ridiculously simple. She had no confidence in him, and I wouldn't either if he stepped on my toes. So sad. I wished and wished, as I watched, to make him miraculously better. Oh, he better hope he's got a strong fanbase if he wants to stick around.

Marie: Her musicality is tremendous. Her turns and swivels are way slow, but I still find her fun to watch.

Albert: The video of his grandma made ME cry. I wanted him to do better for her (and his grandad). Beyond being dull choreography, the music choice was at odds with the speed of the routine. He goofed his footwork on all the runs. His frame was collapsing from almost the start of the dance.

Helio: HOT lines, sharp and dramatic. Great flexibility. I wanted to see more actual steps, but I will not complain because he was so super solid. You could see he actually lead her!

Jenny: Her core was like Jello; you could see her partner had a rough time lugging her around the dance floor. She was in head so much she wasn't there to respond to him. Her footwork was reasonably fast though.

Cameron: He didn't grasp the complicated footwork, but he did have good hip action. Good frame, but his tension was way too high. Solid frame doesn't mean tight frame. And DAT BUTT! Smoking...

Floyd: Too bouncy. He needed to bounce into the floor and get out of the boxer frame (hunched shoulder) and into the dance frame (open chest). Really great energy, and I liked that he was working so hard because he doesn't want to let his partner down.

Jane: Weak leg movement and weird knee angles. Not hot, but very broadway. Still, I want to be able to wear a dress like that at 56.

Sabrina: Nearly flawless. Handled the fast complicated footwork with ease. But watching her was like hearing an engine stuck in a lower gear. The routine was overworking and I wanted to see the slow catches.
