This week Sean watched most of the show with me and confirmed why I am posting again this week. He said "How many flamers are there on this show?" not the kind of discussion I want to have. So on with the show.
I have to say that I love Cat Deely as a host I think she is one of the best hosts on tv. She handles awkward moments brilliantly, transitions seamlessly and has a lovely chemistry with all the dancers and judges. She deserves an Emmy nod way more than Heidi Klum.
Awww sad Twitch and Neil :( I really hope a boy gets voted out this week because I love the all star boys.
Cristina & Pasha. Sweet flip lift and leg roly poly. It was good, I was expecting it to be good since she is a salsa dancer. I am extremely happy we didn't have to get on the Hot Tamale train or get a mary scream! aren't you?
Adechike & Allison. Weird fake-o cheerleader smiles from allison and the leg spasms at the end. I thought it was very nice of the choreographer to give adechike a chance to redeem himself from last week. I didn't think he as that much better though. Mia and her dance is a heartform was kinda funny.
Alex & Lauren. Alex FTW and in your face Tyce. Ugly costumes very cool dance. I like this dance and I usually don't like Broadway with out Broadway! So whats with the Alex smack down from the judges? Seriously? there were at least 2 other contestants who obviously did a horrible job and they got "oh you just had fun, it was so wrong it was right" comments and Alex gets keep improving? I guess he just peaked too early for the competition or maybe the just hold him to a higher standard since he is so much better than everyone else on the show.
Ashley & Mark. Travis!! Awesome except for the song. Annie Lennox always reminds me of sick aids kids in Africa and that wasn't what the dance was about. Dance was fabulous but obviously not jazzy enough for the judges. I totally agree with the judges about being more contemporary than jazz but don't tell travis off as part of Ashleys critique. Don't they see the dances before they air? Shouldn't producer nigel spoken to travis about making it a little more jazzy or maybe just not say anything about it on air. Not fair to travis or ashley who gets bad reviews because of travis.
Billy & Comfort. Billy + Krump = disaster. Billy reminded me of some missionaries who go to a foreign country and come back thinking they are a native. You know they use all the local slang, start playing sports like football, cricket, rugby and AFL.
Robert & Anya. Robert looked like a little boy dancing with a woman. Where are the men this season? All the boys are boys I don't think any of them could go toe to toe with Anya.
Side note... Learning the Argentine tango is on my bucket list. Ever since I watched an episode of race around the world where the girl went to Argentina and she had to get 4 inch heels to even enter the tango club. One day I'll go and get some sweet 4 inch heels so I can learn the tango for real. I better make it there while I can still wear heels.
Melinda & Ade. Melinda sounding a little more humble this week, must have been that awful dress she had to wear. I was a little distracted for this dance because zac decided he was a cat and will was dragging him from across the living room while he was meowing furiously.
Jose & Kathryn. Oh dear. He as more believable than Billy but just as bad. Where was his smack down? or did we save all the negative things for Alex this week? Have to say Kathryn is an awesome partner, she made that dance just like she was everything for the one last week.
Lauren & Dominic. NappyTab have some competition with this new choreographer. Loved it. and good job Dominic for being serious. Lauren is my new favorite girl.
Kent & Courtney. I wish it was Mark instead of Kent, that would have been awesome. Kent did an ok job I mean I'm betting that he wins or at least makes it to the finale. He reminds me of Benji and I think he has just enough talent to be able to keep up with Alex and his personality will seal the deal with all the tween voters. Hmmm, maybe I'll have to start voting. um nope.
Bottom three should be: Jose, Billy, Robert/Adechike.
Bottom three will be: Cristina, Melinda, Adechike.
So I totally agree with you on most parts. I think Adechike is awkward and I agree he will prob be a bottom three. I actually thought Robert did ok. And I would REALLY love to dance with Mark. Now THAT would be fun. And I'm still hopelessly in love with Kent and think he will win. I was laughing my guts out during the part where they show how he was preparing with Courtney. Classic. And I think that's so funny what you said about Billy reminding you of someone who served their missions foreign and then went home thinking they were native. So true.
ReplyDeleteI've been really dissapointed in the music this season so far. They have picked some really weird songs.
Cat rocks, she's one of my favourite presenters ever, on any show.
ReplyDeleteI don't think they view the dance rehearsals. Just something Nigel said in the ep I watched this morning.
Haha about the native missionary. SO TRUE!
Can you and Sean dance that tango when we have a family reunion. It would be sweet!
Melinda - bleh. The girl can tap but she looks so awkward doing most everything else.
I was so proud of Dom for keeping a straight face. It was a great dance.
I agree with Rachel, the music is odd this season.
