I floved this episode. Everything but the Nappy routine was great, and some were just fricking amazing. They even made me like Mollee!
And as far as Ashleigh goes, it's a no-brainer for the producers to keep her around. They want to see her dance with Ryan in the finale. Even if they *hated* her, it's not a good show from their POV if there's no competition for the girl's slot, no one needs to vote, and the results show has half the tension.
kat, I agree with your top 6....except... As much as I hate to say it, Mollee is a better dancer than Ashleigh and it would be kinda unfair for Ashleigh to get through even though she's injured. BUT, Mollee drives me up the ever living wall and I need her GONE. She bugs me in a way I can't even fully articulate, but I need her gone. Now, please.
I keep thinking about the poor dancers trapped on a tour bus with Mollee.
Talk about Anne Reinking. Yeah, it's not Mollee.
I think that is what bugged me the most. I really really want Mollee gone, but I honestly think that would be so unfair, so for once I'm glad she has the tween vote. What I worry about is that sympathy for Ashleigh will result in Kathryn going home, although the judges seemed to be giving her the Jeanine treatment last night.
The guys I don't care about (in the sense that I'm happy with any of them in the final).
If Russell isn't there (yeah, right) I would riot, but otherwise I'm good with the guys. I think that Elleanore is INCREDIBLE, but I'm not worried about her. That Travis Wall routine was amazing, even though they got screwed by NappyTabs. They need to GO. I know that there are a lot of hip hop choreos out there, give one (or two or five) of them a shot.
I called last night for Ellenore, Kathryn, Jakob, Legacy (I like his backstory better than Ryan's, even though Ryan is a great partner), and Russell, and I got busy signals for Russell twice, and no one else.
Oh, I have to comment on Russell's solo--cheesy goodness! I hope that the Santa gag was all him, and not the producers saying to the dancers "Will someone please do a holiday-themed solo?"
Question: did he lose his shoe as part of the routine, or was that a mistake and he went with it?
And one last thing. STFU, Nigel, with your smirking about Shane's assistant being a not-typically-sized dancer! That really rude comment about her having lots of junk in her trunk was really uncalled for.
I thought he said Donyelle had a lot of junk in
her
trunk.
