SYTYCD
Ah, I see. Mary's taken on the double crazy to make up for Cat's relative lack of crazy.
Chelsie and Mark- Alex DaSilva. Soooo much hate. Why is he such a trick fiend? Ok, so neither one of them really had the right hip action and Mark was too pulled up through the chest, but it was alright. Very difficult choreography, trick heavy as usual. Nigel's right, the footwork was good. Why is he such a sleazeball, though?
ETA: Bollywood is not a genre of dance. I'm sorry. I am afeared!
Thayne and Comfort - The routine was a little generic, but danced well. Thayne really cannot stop smiling, can he? So sad for him. I thought he did well with the moves, but it was really flat. Agreed with the judges that they didn't relate to each other at all.
I was planning on doing a watch and post tonight, YES I WAS! (all in the style of Mary Murphy), but alas, I will be watching on TiVo delay.
OMG, I thought Thayne was terrible. Maybe he would have looked better next to someone else, but ugh.
I agree. I really liked Comfort though, but Thayne was tres mal.
Jessica and Will - Tasty, huh? Well, I like him much more when he's not doing Broadway, so this has a chance to be good. So, the show has hit on a winning formula. Nekkid Will = Votes. He is breathtaking. And that was beautiful choreography. But that turn Will pulled out? With flexed feet and arms in second? What? He just blew her away. She was ok, but totally irrelevant in this piece. The judges need to stop trying to make Jessica happen. She is not going to happen.
ETA: See, I didn't think Thayne was all that bad if you take away the cheese-eating grin. He really did hit the choreography, but he did not have the right vibe at all. It's a shame that he can't turn off that Guy Smiley persona, because he is a really talented dancer. Comfort is just a dancer that has no presence for me. She is missing that spark. I didn't find her more than just ok in that piece.
well, I'm very pleased they didn't put her down like a dog - like they have been doing previously. Jessica can't really live up to Will, but that point has been made again and again.
Leave her alone and leave Will shirtless. Good grief that man is hotttt.
Anya and Pasha!!!! So excited!
Courtney and Gev - That was so much fun! I am consistently blown away by Gev's carriage. He was really good. Courtney was good, too. Was the hip action exactly right? Well, not really. But I don't care. And Gev totally got the feel of the dance, too. Maybe it's the Russian thing?
don't you think Gev has had SOME ballroom training? I don't think he fell off the ballroom turnip truck yesterday.
Man, Kherrington is not good at krumping.
not good.
no no no.
