Jason Taylor & Edyta Sliwinska - Paso doble
9:00 PM
Jason looks cool, like a matador. Edyta has a gypsy/belly dancer outfit that is um, abbreviated.
Strong start, Edyta rises from a languid pose on the stage and they hit the floor. They're in perfect sync, lots of tight poses, very dynamic and agressive. They end with Jason sliding Edyta across ten yards of floor and finishing in the classic paso doble pose. Nice.
Bruno compares Jason to Iron Man, Carrie Ann loved it, and Len praises Jason's "attack." Len says, "You're like the price of gas, you're going up!"
Jason dances like Lurch (from Addams Family?)...sorry!

I am so upset with the judges over this paso doble! They started out the show clearly stating that there were NO LIFTS ALLOWED. Jason did a full lift taking both of Edyta's feet off of the floor at the same time. And not one of the judges called them on it! What is with this? After criticizing the other dancers because this is the semi finals and then to miss this illegal move? Not appropriate.

Very distracting Edyta's gypsy ooutfit, with lots of fabric where it is not needed.....PLEASE COVER UP THAT UGLY BELLY...and not any better was Jason's combination of mexican charro pants and western european top....over a Banana Republic top.
Maybe they will be the ones out tomorrow....Marissa may bet lucky still.

I think Jason's Foxtrot was excellent, but the paso doble stunk. No LIFTS means no lift. Carrie Ann of all people should have called them on it. What unfair judging.

Don't we wish we had body like Edyta??? And her "belly"??? or NO BELLY"
is a picture of fitness.
There was no lift,and Marissa should be home long time ago... like her smile and spunky personality.As for Jason he is doing great job. Good Luck.

I am for Jason all the way!! I thought the point of this show is to become a dancer!! The judges scoring was horrible tonight... I think Jason definitely deserved more 10s!!

The judges said that they would allow lifts for last weeks show, maybe they meant for the rest of the season, too.

I love Jason and Edyta!! I am sooo for them all the way! There was a lift, however. I'm glad that the judges didn't call them on it though! Jason is sooo sexy!!!! Also, Edyta is gorgeous they make such a steamy couple! Please I hope Marissa goes home already. It's annoying seeing her there, even though poor thing is cute as hell. My last two votes are for Jason and Kristi I would love to see what they come up with in the Free-Style round!!!

I love Jason and Edyta. I find them to be a good match and love to watch them dance. Being a Dolphin fan doesn't hurt either. We here in S Fla love our Dolphin's and Jason ..... He is our Man of the Year

I have followed Jason Taylor and voted for him most weeks. But after last night when he had to insert his political views. Especially about the troops, I will not vote for him again. Kristi got my vote today.

i have read all the comments that were posted all over the internet (almost) and Jason and Edyta are by far the most entertaining to watch. JT's comments on the troops was not in any way trying to be offensive. He has visited the boys over there and would go back given the chance! One more week to comment on the show...then what will everyone do? Who will they shred next...JT your the best!!!!!!Edyta deserves the trophy!!!!!

NO Lifts!!! That was BS, if Marissa would have done a lift they would have called her on it, absolutly no doubt!
