Sadly, I actually don’t think Ricky and Ryan will even hit B3. I think it’s much more likely that we’ll see Nick and Iveta here or maybe even Miranda and Robert again (although she was very good, I don’t feel like she has a very big fanbase and he has a lot of foes) Were that the case and holding the other two B3 denizens constant, I think the judges would boot either Nick or Robert in favor of keeping Wadi due to their inexplicable hard on for that kid. For the girls, Clarice is my only sure boot. The other girl bootee will depend largely on the composition of the girls B3. In a Clarice, Missy, Miranda B3, I think clearly Missy stays. In a Clarice, Missy, Iveta B3, I’m not so sure. I think Mary would fight hard for Iveta and Nigel does like saying 10 Dance Champion, and there are lots of other great contemporary girls in the competition. They might let Missy go early.
In other words, I still have no clue who’s going home this week. Times two since the judges wimped out last week and didn’t cut anyone.
Melanie’s practice dance shoes? Adorable.
Right?
I'm totally charmed by Tadd. And Nick and Melanie and Sasha, but I was already charmed by them.
OMG, Ryan's FACE. I don't think bob bob even saw that goony smile I was going crazy about last week, but this week he was laughing his ass off at how she was supposed to be "sexy." It's like her default, like Toddlers & Tiaras!
I was pretty distracted during most of the show, ransacking my house to see if I could find my phone, but that was one I did catch and went "Is there an opposite of stank face? Because Ryan has it--too much smile!" Maybe she and Janine's sister need to talk.
Okay y'all, I'm catching up on SYTYCD and I was irritated with the praise for Missy in the cha-cha and the under the bus throwing of Wadi. Wadi was not good, but I watched Missy - she was not very good either. She didn't really help Wadi into the lifts.
That was a bad performance and it wasn't just Wadi's fault.
I caught up on youtube vids of the dances. The one for Jess and Clarice has the audio disabled due to copyright claim.
It's interesting to watch it without the sound. I don't know what it's like with the sound, but I couldn't get caught up in the music I could just watch it and Jess really really struggled. At times it looked like they were dancing two different pieces and he wasn't -flingy - enough for contemporary.
He had to performed better than that in Vegas, I can't imagine that kind of contemporary performance in Vegas week getting him through.
Does Tadd have ballroom experience? He certainly has a lot of general training.
I think it's an interesting conundrum they have put themselves in -- expecting people to be good at various things from the start, but still making them pretend to be just one style, and then you get shows like this, where everyone is pretty good, so who goes home? No one's a trainwreck. Maybe later?
Pssst, Mary -- If you are wearing so much make up that I can see the tear track through your face powder, you might want to dial it back a little.
SERIOUSLY.
And on The Voice, I just have to say how ridiculous are the hots I am having for Blake Shelton.
And a million feet tall, and seriously just fatherly/mentorish toward "his girls," even though he will creep on someone else's.
SYTYCD: UGH! Generally annoyed re: the girls, half-sad re: the boys.
