SYTYCD Blog #15 - From 12 Down to the TOP TEN!!!
We’re down to the Top 10 dancers. These are the lucky ones that will be going on the road around the country. We started off the show with a Hip Hop routine choreographed by Napoleon and Tabitha. Nigel updated us about the battle challenge. Phillip Chbeeb has agreed to battle Robert Muraine in the finale, so that should be interesting. We also had a performance by the Alvin Ailey American Dance Theater (as if we don’t get to see enough guys dance with their shirts off already) and Katy Perry sang her hit “I Kissed a Girl”.
The bottom three consisted of Comfort and Thayne, Jessica and Will, and Kherington and Twitch. Comfort and Thayne were the couple that the judges decided would leave.
I would like to start off by saying that the fact that we will be getting a dance off between Robert Murain and Phillip Chbeeb during the finale is great! I am excited for that one. Onto the show, we had absolutely no surprises tonight. This was easily one of the most predictable shows so far this year. It is sad to see Comfort and Thayne go, but it was most definitely their time. I agree with Nigel saying he would have rather lost two girls and no guys tonight, because Thayne is a better dancer than Jessica, by far. But as the rules go, we had to say goodbye to someone. Unfortunately that had to be Thayne and Comfort.
Yeah we totally predicted the bottom three without much effort last night. And if was obvious before anyone did their solos that it was about time for Comfort and Thayne to make their departures. Comfort really through a lot of energy into her solo dance, but there wasn’t anything about it that blew me away. Twitch did a Hip Hop routine for his solo too, but it was amazing with the creativity and expression he gave to it. Thayne always seems to come alive with his solos, but his paired dances never seem quite right and that’s why he keeps ending up in the bottom three. His solo wasn’t bad by any means, but unfortunately when compared to Will and Twitch he couldn’t stand up.
Man... I guess you ladies can read this show like a book, huh? But then again, even I thought it was pretty obvious who was probably going home this week. But from here on in I think things will be a bit less predictable. Well... check that. For the girls, after Jessica hits the bricks, it's gonna be really tight. It's already tight for the guys, because, as Daphne said, Thayne was a better dancer than Jessica, but it turned out that he took the hit for the guys this week. So, I guess that's all I have to add from the "Outsider's POV" for this week on SYTYCD. I had fun again, and maybe I'll show my mullet again here on the blog with you two lovelies. But for now, Artie's outta here. Peace, dudes.
