SYTYCD Blog #9 - From 18 Down to 16
Another two dancers had to go tonight, leaving us with 16 dancers on SYTYCD. This week the dancers hit the stage for their second time trying to impress the judges, and more importantly America. We started out the show with a hip hop number from Shane Sparks. We also had two performances, one from a flamenco dancer, and another from Flo Rider.
The bottom three ended up being Chelsea and Thayne, Susie and Marquis, and Comfort and Chris. In the end Susie and Marquis were sent home.
It looks like Daphne and I hit the nail on the head with this one. We both called all three couples of Susie and Marquis, Comfort and Chris, and Chelsea and Thayne as being in the bottom three, AND predicted the two going home of Susie and Marquis. I guess we had to have some kind of comeback after several wrong choices last week. Seeing the SYTYCD group number reminded me of how horrible the Idol group numbers were…Shane Sparks put together an awesome dance for the dancers, and Comfort was so lucky that Shane was the choreographer, because her performance in the dance helped in keeping her safe. Chelsea’s solo was great and kept her in as well, but “hot for teacher” Susie looked like a hot mess, and I wasn’t surprised or upset to lose her.
The guys on the other hand were pretty neck and neck with their solos. Marquis really threw everything he had at his chance, but the judges said that he was all tricks and not enough dance –which I feel was a bit of a cop out.
America disappoints Dancer X by letting Broadway continue to go unpunished, but the chosen bottom three are extremely fair choices. Dancer X suspects that Chris was allowed to remain on purely as a comic foil. What’s he going to do next week, clog dancing?
Well no surprises tonight! I was very happy with the results this week. Thanks America for making me happy this time. Susie and Marquis most definitely deserved to go home tonight. I think sending anyone else home would have been a crime. Well, I don’t think I would have shed any tears over the loss of Chris. But now that Susie is gone, who am I going to hate? Perhaps no one, or maybe Chris, unless he can either get his act together, or just stays away from the krumping.
