i don't think this whole partner thing and different dance genre thing is fair.

let me vent for a sec.
for example: katee.
i'm not saying that she's a bad dancer, BUT she always had solid partners: joshua and will. those two can make anyone look good!

AND it seems like she's always dancing the "good" genres, like contemporary and broadway... i mean, how can you go wrong with mia michael's contemporary routine? i think she did a ballroom type dance one time and she wasn't that great... but the judges didn't put her down like they do with other dancers. and she did a bollywood dance one time and she couldn't go wrong with that one either because it was all "new and different."
other dancers seems to get "ballroom" type of genres constantly. and get stuck with worse partners.
katee and chelsie will probably be the last 2 girls... but i hope chelsie is the last girl standing because she survived through a weaker partner AND she handles all type of genres so well!
as far as guys go... oh man... it's gonna be a tough competition!
