Bless you, le Nubian! I knew we'd seen him somewhere before. I never forget a pretty dancer.
Paige Pellicano – Oh, no. The Dance dad saga takes a dark turn. Poor thing. She is so embarrassed. Oh, show. Why you do that girl like that? That is a lot of hairography at the beginning. I confess that I don’t know if this girl can actually dance, but I don’t think so. Hair flinging nightmare. Competition studio trick factory kid. What’s missing is dance ability beyond your garden variety decent studio kid. I’m so glad that they are knocking her down seventeen pegs. She’s gonna do the choreo with the same competition 101 habits she had in her solo. Either they like that or they don’t. I don’t see the point in putting her through to that round, but we’ll see.
Choreo Round – Good on ya, Larry Booze for withdrawing from the field of battle. Salsa girl is lost. Completely lost. And she doesn’t get through. Not surprised. She wasn’t all that great. Paige is not moving on either. Again, not surprised. Why did we waste our time with her? Just to see her dad do Elvis? Mmmph.
Vegas, baby!
Ummm, why do I not see Miss Debbie Allen on my Vegas judges panel? Oh, hell no! Somebody’s got some splaining to do.
Kat,
I am just getting to the salsa woman. She isn't very good IMO. She needs about 1-2 more years. She wobbled on some of the spins and she isn't loose enough.
Love the kat! Bob bob could not stop giggling at the discussion of Booze's busted face (which improved with some blotting, but still).
Yeah, salsa girl needs to work on her fundamentals. You can tell she's been prizing tricks over the basic steps. I agree that a couple of years of seasoning would help a lot provided she doesn't spend the whole time just learning more tricks and spins.
Ha, bon bon! I agree that it looked like someone on the make up team sacrificed some of their crack powder to take the shine off of Booze's face. He was still kinda busted, though.
He looked like Eddie Griffin!
He looked like Eddie Griffin!
Yesssss. Undercover Dancin' Brother! I used to bust moves at the dance-a-thon, now I help you get your SYTYCD chicken on. That's perfect.
Now I need to see that movie again.
Oh you guys, I started seeing ads for Big Brother this week. Can I resist?? Unclear.
Nooooooo,, because I won't be able to.
Last Season was good
Ooh, Kat, I will be in town June 25th, if they're still doing Tuesday nights...
And I finally got a chance to watch, and was much looking forward to your recaps.
I was saying to roommate (who I've sucked into this) that for some of them, I can't quite tell if they are just OK, with good choreo, or good with bad choreo. Sometimes it's obvious, but sometimes I have no idea what the judges are smoking.
And I hated Mr. "I'm so masculine" dude, but damn he could dance.
One of the Food Network Star contestants is named "Damaris" and every time she's onscreen I'm disappointed it's not Daenerys. I would so totally watch a Mother of Dragons cooking show! Everything is flame-broiled!
