I want to see a replay of that - to me it looked as though he stepped on his partner's dress and slipped. A mistake on his part yes, but if it was the dress then they have to watch those hems more closely.
I only saw Jake slip once and it looked to me like he stepped wrong on the heel of his shoe and slid. I done that before just walking.
I don't think the dress was a factor. It looked to me like he slipped with his back leg, then when he was trying to get his footing, he rolled his ankle a bit, thus stumbling some more. Overall I thought he recovered quite well, and at least it didn't happen until after their stair sequence, I thought that was quite good. I always feel bad when anyone has a goof like that during the live show though.
That said, I don't think Jake has a ton of potential as a dancer and I can't imagine him sticking around too much longer; although Kate is still strutting her stuff, so what do I know?

I thought the judges were especially tough on Nicole, but I could be a bit prejudiced since I always want Derek to stick around as long as possible, no matter who his partner is, because I think he's a very talented choreographer. I love to see what he comes up with every week.
I'm still pretty lukewarm about this cast as a whole. So on to the hosting... can they please get Brooke Burke some cue cards and not let her ad lib? Maybe she'll get better with time and experience, but I'm certainly not loving her. Or am I being too harsh?
