How much do you think the judges consider the match-ups they will leave when voting off?
I think the judges very much think about this when deciding who to boot off, which is why I believe they will go for the couple boot tonight of Matt/Kourtni. They seem to like the new Comfort/Thayne pair. And while I'm not mad about it, I think Comfort/Matt would be even worse (because of the height difference). And if Matt goes, then Kourtni definitely would have to go because who else is tall enough to dance with her? All bets are off, though, if Jessica and Will hit the bottom 3 tonight.
Kherington and the shoe thing is still very distrubing. She was wearing dance sandals in the rehearsals, why did they put her in boots for the dance?
I am enjoying the West Coast/East Coast swing discussion. I'm not all that familiar with WCS, but I remember loving Benji's audition piece (and Lacey's too) and they were both WCS pieces. Very sexy and flirty and fun.
I wonder who choreographed the group number tonight? So far, I think the quality of the group pieces has been incredibly high.
Hmm. I didn't dislike the number, but I wasn't wild about it. SYTYCD needs to stop doing Cabaret. It needs to be a lot grimier and grittier than the kids are going to get. And Will is very pretty, but Mark totally could've done a better Joel Grey. Eh. It'll do in a pinch.
ETA: Nice fake out. Mary needs to be taking notes. That's how it's done.
ETA: Oh, no. My pocket couple! You really can't fight the shirtless hotness. That means yet another week of Jessica (unless Comfort and Thayne somehow managed to leapfrog them - which would be a huge shocker). I do love how Nigel basically assured them that they wouldn't be going home tonight. He hates Matt.
Tice did that number and I actually hated it. Oh, and the camera work totally sucked!
Oh, and the camera work totally sucked!
This. All season long.
Tyce really needs to give up on his obssession with Cabaret. What is this, the third? fourth time?
Yay, Popper Dude! I love this guy. I hope this doesn't mean that he can never be on the show as a contestant now.
I think he was happy with dropping out when he did.
Kourtni and Matt: Both solos were really lovely. They are beautiful dancers.
Courtney and Gev: Fun solos. Courtney was shaky on her turns, but she was good. Gev's solo was great. Very well choreographed, not just a bunch of tricks. And the tricks that were there were well done.
Comfort and Thayne: Comfort is getting better at the solos. I think that was her best one yet. Matt is better than Thayne. And the Guy Smiley thing has got to stop.
Based on those solos, I'd send Thayne and Comfort home. Let's see if that will happen. I kinda doubt it.
ETA: And Nigel and his pants are overruled. Well, at least he got to get rid of Matt, which is bullshit. But Comfort and Thayne's days are numbered. I'd be shocked if they made it through next week.
I wish it had been Thane and Comfort instead.
They're supposed to dance there at the end, aren't they? I kind of love when they don't.
SYCTYD: I didn't realize that Napoleon and Tabitha used to be supervising choreographers on "America's Best Dance Crew." Did anyone here know that?
NappyTab were the early round judges in S1, the ones who decided who made it to the first televised battle (and I think the Nappy half was also an early round judge this season,maybe?). Small, incestuous world.
