Season 4 had some great couples, too: Katee and Joshua, Mark & Chelsie, Courtney & Gev. But by the time it hit 10, it was really nice to see them with other people.
But I guess why I brought it up to begin with was because if we're going All Stars at the point of 10, then we'll never see any of this season's dancers dance with anyone but their starting partner, as far as competition couples go. Which I feel is too bad.
I was hoping that they would go back to the weekly partner switches this year, too, but I'll still take this format over last year's All Stars all the time one. I have enjoyed getting to know this season's top 20 on their own merits.
I do wish I could've seen Ricky with anyone other than Ryan and I'd have loved to see Sasha with someone not Alex. And Alex with someone not Sasha because they just never meshed well. I think Melanie and Mitchell would be beautiful to see, or Melanie and Tadd. I would've been interested to see if Marko could pull more grounded dancing out of Ashley. So yeah, I guess especially now that I do know these dancers, I really want to see more of them together. I don't think we need the all stars at all. They will be a distraction.
Apparently, we're not the only ones who hate Ryan. Or people really love Sasha. I was shocked, because R&R nailed their routine, and that hip hop was lacking.
Yeah, that's just about what I was going to post!
Ashley is so outta here. Her solo was flat, and Nigel loves a pretty blonde writhing on the floor. I'm disappointed in Jordan's solo. She is so so much better than the pussycat dolls "sexy" thing that she does. Stop auditioning for Robin Antin.
We can only hope! Actually, I think Chris and maybe Ashley should go, based on their dancing not their solos. Chris really is ridiculous good in his own style.
Wow, I didn't expect to be right.
Dear Lord I love Cat Deely. (What, I can't tell Facebook!)
Dear Nigel: Ricky's not the one not connecting with the audience.
And I would still like to see them eliminate not in pairs.
And on to Big Brother: Jordan might not be the brightest bulb, but she's managed to make a living off reality tv for two years now.
