And how much Vivian got????

Might be the fear of being evicted

Hope luck is by his side this time (he has highest chances to be evicted)

Shamita's act was my favorite.

Both Kavitha and Deepika did good. However, I felt their scores were overrated. I don't understand why Lauren who watches many performances critically found Deepika's performance perfect to give her 10. I think Shahid was very apt on that department. Having a minor training in classical Indian dance, I can say that classical portion that they both did (Kavita had one or two steps) were not perfect and to some degree disappointing. I don't know if I am explaining it right, but both of them having "lazy" hands during classical steps really stood out and irked me. Postures are just as important in classical dance forms as they are in western dance forms. For better explanation, I guess you can see Rekha's salame e ishq or one of old classical based dance and compare their postures to these two ladies and you would know. (You don't need training to get crisp hands).

Sanaya is my favorite celeb and I agree with all the comments from judges and felt that she was judged perfectly. Didn't like what Shahid said about him just giving her 9 for the last time. 34 is an apt score for that performance. I think Karan should have given 9 and Shahid 8 if shahid felt that she didn't "earn" that 9 this time. And Karan had really nice things to say so it would have made sense. Her performance was lovely and a visual treat. Loved Sanaya's grace and fluidity from one step to another, but like GH said, choreography can be more rigid (of course Jai may have chosen this due to her injury, but hope it's above par next time). I missed that one magical moment in this dance that is always there in Sanaya's romantic numbers.

I do wonder why Lauren judges Sanaya so critically whereas hands out points to Radhika and Deepika. Both of them didn't deserve 10 in their respective performances. I don't have problems with her judging Sanaya critically because it will only help her to improve and do better next time, but wish she would judge everyone with the same measuring stick.

Vivian: though his "dance" was the weakest of all, he does make me laugh the way he dances and his expressions reminded me of "rutha huva" child. Lol, he was cute in this performance. Appreciate his efforts and sportsmanship to just go with the flow. Maybe he deserved 31 instead of 32.

Raftaar was pretty good too, and I believe he was judged fairly today.

Overall for this week, I felt Mohit was underscored by 2-3 points. He was really good outside of those gym bars section. Even Radhika was underscored when you compare it to Vivan's performance. Or maybe Vivan was just overscored.

I guess judges are judging them based on their own capabilities, but at the end of the day, it's a competition and scores do matter, so wish they all use the same measure for all contestants.

Today's comedy was either bearable or I may have skipped the unnecessary drama.

Curious to know who will be out next week. Hope everyone improves and give us an amazing performances especially Sanaya!! Instead of 9, I want her to earn 10 from shahid next week.

Oh and what happened to the spotlight portion in today's episode?

maybe bcoz Simar bahu is not a professional dancer but Raftaar is? Raftaar participated in DID doubles under the name of MAx...hes been a professional dancer before he became a singer... These things do affect judgement and have done so in the past...they always judge professional dancers more strictly...and non dancers are always encouraged more... in previous seasons, there were dancers like Sukhwinder Singh etc who could not dance at all...but they were never compared with better dancers...he was given decent scores for even lil improvement... and similarly, in this episode too, Deepika, Sanaya and Kavita showed improvement and so they were given higher marks! Faisal, Raftaar and Scarlet are professional dancers, thats why there is more strictness towards them
