I made two compilation dvds that include many of those dances, but I did also include the Top 14 group dance by Wade Robson done to Imogen Heap's "Aha," which I just love even more than his Top 20 number.
Sadly, that was the day Comcast screwed up our screens and cut off the sides of the picture.
Here's what stood out for me in the baker's dozen, the variance in representation of the winners. Russel was not in that many memorable dances and certainly nothing compared to the winners from the previous 2 seasons.
I noticed that too. I actually didn't think the African jazz or the Sonya dance with Ashleigh were that great, but then I'd have almost no Russell at all.
Also? Ballroom really sucked in season 6.
Yeah, it really did. The best were Ashleigh's cha-cha with Jakob and her command-performance jive with Ryan, understandably, but I did like Russell's jive with Mollee, which was cute and reasonably well-performed.
Russell tended to stand out more in the group numbers and, of course, his solos than in any of his partnered routines.
He also had remarkably bad luck with partners hurting themselves though. it must be hard to really shine when you keep losing partners.
Well, and he had weak partners to start with, too.
I would have liked to have seen Ryan dance with S5's Janette.
Definitely agree that the dances overall were weaker this season than last, which is odd, because I felt like the dancers were stronger. But less passionate, maybe? More technical? I dunno.
And of course very little can surpass my love of Mark, if we're talking seasons past.
Hey, megan, can I ask why you didn't include the Transformers number in with the best-of? I loved that when I saw it on the Greatest Hits ep (I'm a latecomer to SYTYCD--didn't start watching until the Top 10 or 8 of S4).
Well, I thought I needed the room, I hate Misha Chan, and I hated the costumes. Also, that was the season with an extra number included. But, mostly 'cause I hated Lauren.
Noooooooooooo!!!!
While I was on vacation, my cable company DROPPED THE FOOD NETWORK FROM THEIR LINEUP. WHAT THE FUCKING FUCK, CABLEVISION???
oh, I would RIOT. fuck HGTV, but you will pry the Barefoot contessa from my cold dead hands.
Subscribers are up in arms, but there's no competition in our area (you either live on a Cablevision block or a Time Warner block - there's no overlap) unless people want to switch to satellite.
Dude, that's the only station my parents will watch. If that happened, they would go ballistic.
