Aww, I knew it was going to happen! Like I said in my previous post, since Comfort already got voted off last week and is only back due to Jessica's injury, I feel as though the girls should have gotten a free pass this week. I mean, how unfair is it that Comfort who has consistently been in the bottom 3 get past Kherington? Okay, so Kherington hasn't been spectacular but still all around good enough...
And my fave guy got voted off. I've been dreading that because I knew from the fox.com board, Gev gets the fewest messages on his thread. Like by a lot. People thought Mark or Twitch would go but I knew if Twitch wasn't in the bottom 2, Gev wouldn't be able to beat Mark... Mark has a signature performance in the Tabitha and Napolean routine plus he got the thrashed last night - hence the sympathy vote. Gev was always just there in the middle of the pack. I'll miss him. I really thought that Twitch was going to go home.
Well, that just sucks. Two of the least versatile people got ot stay.

So You Think You Can Dance Top 10
Okay, first off, I know there has been a lot of spoilers in So You Think You Can Dance forums stating that it was a fix for Comfort to replace Jessica King. I think not. If Jessica sulked on being dissed last week by Nigel saying 2 girls should have been off, there's no way that Nigel would take that and bring her back for the tour. I also don't think that Nigel can "force" Jessica to go - if that were the case why didn't he just vote her off last week? I think the injury is legitimate. My solution is that although Comfort gets to dance this week, she should not be allowed to stay in the competition. There's no way that someone who has constantly been in the bottom three gets to stay longer than another girl.
Now onto the show.
Maybe I didn't like the music, maybe I am just mourning the loss of the couple of Gev and Courtney but I wasn't feeling the connection for Courtney and Joshua's bride of Frankenstein routine. It was okay but nothing spectacular.
Wow, how disastrous was the two-step for Kherington and Mark?? For some reason, despite the craptacular performance, it was actually entertaining... It was like a redneck high school ho down.
Unlike the entertainment value of Kherington and Mark's two-step trainwreck, Comfort and Twitch's waltz was bad and boring. It looked cumbersome and lacked finesse.
Okay, next is the cream of the crop with Will and Katee. Even though the judges kissed their ass, it was just okay for me in their Broadway routine. But then again, it's not a dance "genre" that I like. I prefer Broadway numbers in the context of the actual show, not pulled out like that and performed. I have only liked one Broadway routine in all the seasons of So You Think You Can Dance and funnily enough, it was from Katee and Joshua.
For Gev and Chelsie, I thought it was a believable couple. They really are likable which enhanced their dancing a contemporary love story routine. Gev and Chelsie both came from very solid partner pairings but I think they too can get that spark for themselves.
Okay, even though Joshua has got the ass for the rhumba and he and Courtney danced it well, I didn't feel the passion. It was beautiful though. Beautiful choreography, beautiful music... just the pitfalls of a new couple.
For Mark and Kherington's second number, they had jazz. There was no story, the choreography was just about showcasing the technique. Sure, if you want to lose the competition and get no votes! Was that just laziness on the choreographer's part? Mark and Kherington just got hosed tonight with their dance selection this week.
Finally! It was great to see Comfort and Twitch in their element and getting hip hop while not getting dragged down by their non buck partners. After all the slams that Twitch and Comfort got for not being trained dancers... it was nice for them to hit one out of the park. Nice bit of redemption and something they can hang their hat on.
Let me say this right now. No one could have done the pas de deux other than Will and Katee! Okay, so they had a little glitch at the beginning but who cares! It looked so difficult but so beautiful. Individually, Will and Katee might lack personality but when they get an emotional piece that they can sink their teeth into it's just breathtaking.
With all that being said... I think Chelsie right now is my favorite girl... It was a wonderful jive between her and Gev. Yeah, she can make a mannequin look good but Gev was surprisingly there with her. I caught a slight disconnect with their hands but they got it together for some of the turns. It's a tough call between her and Katee but Chelsie gets my vote for a better personality. Before I didn't get her vibe and she disappointed me with the Argentinian tango but she has progressed with more emotion and more characterization of her dance parts. Where Katee shines on slower pieces, I think Chelsie can do it all.
As for who had the best solos... again, Chelsie. It was cute, sexy and it actually looked well choreographed versus freestyle. And it wasn't the same hip hop tricks or contemporary leaps. By being the only ballroom dancer, she stood out.
Also standing out from the crowd was Mark! It was quirky and memorable just like him. Good job because it just might save him from the two disastrous routines he had...

Twitchington love!
Okay, so I know I'm a week late with the So You Think You Can Dance top 20. To be perfectly honest, the top 20 performance left me really flat last week. I really wasn't vibing with anyone and I thought it was a very week way to start off the So You Think You Can Dance voting round.
Last week, the pairing of Rayven Armijo and Jamie Bayard got toasted. Pretty much it was a non event for me. Canon fodder.
But after watching the So You Think You Can Dance top 18, I'm more hopeful. There has been a lot of love for Twitch and Kherington Payne and at first I wasn't a fan, but now I am after their performance of Jean-Marc Genereaux's choreography of the Waltz dedicated to his daughter. It was beautiful and the voting might be helped by Mia Michael's harsh criticism of Kherington smiling too much. It was meant to be uplifting, Mia! Lighten up!
And another stand out performance for the night was Joshua Allen and Katee Shean. I am not a big fan of Broadway dances because I find them to be very cheesy and out of context when not framed within any context. But I have to say that I loved the entertainment factor! Bravo and they captured all the gestures and exaggerations perfectly!
So those were my favorite performances of the evening for the So You Think You Can Dance top 18. Other honorable mentions go to Courtney Galiano and Gev Manoukian. First off, Courtney Galiano is just beautiful! Second, Gev is so sweet on her that they make such a cute couple. Their dance was so simple but universal about love. It was very believable for me.
I also really liked Chelsie Hightower's and Mark Kanemura's Argentinian tango. Mark was hot! But if I have a little criticism with Chelsie was that she wasn't as hot as Mark. She was great in her technique but she wasn't as intense as Mark in his passion. Maybe it's her age that she can't pull that lust off or the fact in her interview that she was always saying that Mark's like her brother... but it could have been hotter.
And on a similar vein, I thought Susie Garcia and Marquis Cunningham lacked something in the hotness factor too. Very disappointing as the salsa is Susie's expertise. Maybe it was the pressure that she should be in her element, but their were elements in which she was off tonight. Sometimes it was hot, then it turned cold. It was like she was concentrating too much and wasn't grinding it out. Maybe it was due to Marquis not partnering her right. I think this couple is in real danger. More so in Susie's case because I don't know how she can win a dance off.
My suspicion of the other couple in danger would be Chelsea Traille and Thayne Jasperson. It was just boring, I didn't like the music and it wasn't banging or interesting enough to lead off. It was pretty forgettable.
And the rest of the dancers... William Wingfield and Jessica King, Matt Dorame and Kourtni Lind and Comfort Fedoke and Chris Jarosz acquitted themselves well tonight. Very solid performances if not a home run. Hopefully, they will be safe.
My prediction of who will go home? Susie Garcia and it will be a toss up amongst the guys depending on their solo.
I will await for tomorrow's results!
