Thorsten Kaye reviews Cameron Mathison's work in week 5:

What did you think of this week’s competition?
Kaye: This week was hard for me because Cameron didn’t call me for help. He called Susan Lucci (who gave advice to Cameron on air Monday night). I don't want to make this about myself because, obviously, it's his moment. But what shouldn’t get lost among all the spandex and sequins is that in the end, what you have is your friendships. That's something that's understood in the dance world and it's not something that Cameron understands being a non-dancer. I could understand calling Susan from an actor's point of view. But from a dancer's point of view... you know who you call. It was a little upsetting to me.

How was Cameron’s dancing this week?
Kaye: Let me tell you something. I watched him and I wanted to skinny dip in his eyes. That's what one of the girls said in an interview a couple of weeks ago. "I just want to skinny dip in his eyes!" I'd probably wear a bathing suit just for protection.

What advice have you given him for next week?
Kaye: I'm going to be honest with you: I think maybe he should call Lucci. I'm an angry little gnome. If you need to choose the big star from the show to work with, then do it. I'm hurt right now. Maybe I shouldn't be giving this interview to you in anger, but that's where I live right now.

What have you designed for his costume next week?
Kaye: That's a sore subject. I was surprised that Lucci wore what she wore on Monday night because that's what we had decided on for Cameron’s costume next week. I'm not sure what he's going to do now. That's his problem. He invited her, and she showed up...

... wearing his outfit.
Kaye: Yup. That's something that he created. I can’t pull him out of that. Daddy can't be there for you all the time.

Do you think Cameron will be able to make Super Soap Weekend Nov. 10-11 if he’s still in the competition?
Kaye:Wow, good question. He's going to have to make Super Soap because if he doesn't go, then he'll be voted off the show. All those fans are flying down to see him.

They're coming to see you, too.
Kaye: The two people coming to see me have already been confirmed. I already got the bill for their hotel room. I'm all set.

What's your prediction for Cameron in the long run?
Kaye: I think he may win this thing, and that would be awesome. I really think he's doing a great job. It looks like he's having fun.
