This week's dance routines were choreographed very well because they were full of entertainment, and it was very joyful to watch. Most of the dances were choreographed by TVB teachers and TVB dancers.

Paul Chun was very, very cute! His comments were funny and encouraging. He also pointed out that most of the TVB contestants are somehow related to him because they played his children, son-in-law, and wives in series. Christine even referred to him as "Lo Yeh".

Ma Ming and Niu Meng Meng did a jazz & rumba routine this week, and it was choreographed very well. I really enjoyed the 'Mulan' concept. Teacher Xu said that he can see the difficulty in the dance, and Ma and Niu were very convincing. All around, they performed it very well. He finished off by saying "thank you" and smiled. This is the judge who everyone refers to as 'Black Face God' (Teacher Xu), saying that he never has any expression and never smiles. Thus, him smiling is a good thing.

Paul Gor said Ma Ming used to be very stiff, but he can see Ma Ming's hard work when he dances. He is happy to see him improve. Paul Gor also praised Ma Ming for his difficult movements. (For some reason, Ma Ming is very good when it comes to these difficult movements, such as lifts. He makes it look so easy to lift the girl.) Paul Gor also said that if it wasn't for Niu Meng Meng, he wouldn't give Ma Ming as high of a score. He said that she lacked coordination with Ma Ming (i.e., no eye contact with Ma Ming) during rehearsal, but now they have it. Paul Gor jokingly asked if they had supper together and stared at each other to improve their chemistry.

Teacher Yang countered Paul Gor's comment about eye contact, saying that everybody tends to let loose during rehearsal, but when it comes to the actual onstage performance, they become more lively because of the lights and audience. She referred to Niu Meng Meng's dancing as the flow of water--very nice. She praised Ma Ming for being the most improved artiste on the show. He now looks like a dancer. She also said that Ma Ming's head accessories were very cute.

Teacher Chou also agreed with Teacher Yang, saying that Ma Ming has improved greatly. His head accessories are extraordinary, and he performed the dance very well. However, he said Ma Ming has to open his hands more when he dances.

Nancy and Nathan danced a foxtrot & waltz routine. When they first walked out, it gave a very royal feeling. They seemed like a very elegant princess and a very charming prince. They did very well; however, Nathan couldn't finish off the ending lift and dropped Nancy because he injured his left hand during rehearsal. He felt very bad and kept apologizing to Nancy, but he insisted on showing the audience and the judges that they could do that lift. After they successfully showed that they could do the lift, Nancy put both of her hands on Nathan's shoulders, which caused him to have a little wardrobe malfunction and revealed his chest. It was quite a funny scene because everyone started to laugh. After that, Nathan continued to apologize to Nancy, but she said it was okay because she doesn't have to do anything but spread her hands. Paul Gor imitated the way he spoke and gave some words of encouragement.

Overall, the judges loved their ballroom dance (others did hip-hop and Latin, except Tong & Gao). If the lift was successful, they would have had a perfect score of ten.

Angela and Gao look very compatible together. She is hilarious when trying to speak Mandarin and she keeps calling Gao 'husband' on purpose instead of calling him 'Lao Gao'.

It was most shocking to see Nancy and Nathan in the bottom two with Christine and Eddie. How can Myolie and Kevin beat them by a point of 0.01? It seems as though Hunan wants to "get rid of" a TVB couple. How fair do you believe the audience scores really are? It can be rigged; you never know. It is sad because Christine and Eddie will be eliminated next week for sure because they will have to PK with Nancy and Nathan next week.
