I wrote down all the contestants, made some notes such as "early favorite" and a "system" of checks.

Brief sum up:

Sasha was amazing

Ryan & Ricky - I remembered Ryan from last season she's much improved this year. I really loved this routine and they both surprised me by how well they performed it. 2nd favorite of the night

Melanie and Marko were early favorites of mine and I like them even more now. This was my favorite dance of the night by far. I think the judges were right and this was one of the "moments" of the season. They nearly brought me to tears.

I also really loved Iveta and Nick liked both of them early on and they were my 3rd favorite of the evening

I think I'm being unfair to the couple who did the Gaga number, I just hate that song so much it made it difficult to enjoy the dance. I hate her entire new album. And I hate that. The Cee Lo song was edited poorly as well, and that may have been why I didn't care for that one. I wonder sometimes how much the audience can/does/wants/ to compartmentalize the dancing from the music.
