SYTYCD Blog #19: We're Down to 6!
The Top 8 dancers are now down to 6 as we get closer and closer to the finale. The show started off with a futuristic Hip Hop routine and some wise words from Nigel encouraging young people to vote. Two dancers from the Los Angeles Ballet performed a beautiful Pas de deux, and LL Cool J was the musical guest.
The bottom two guys were, unexpectedly to our Dance bloggers, Will and Twitch, and the girls were Comfort and Courtney.
Will and Comfort were the two to leave.
What is wrong with this show this week? Our two best male dancers and one of the two best female dancers find themselves in the bottom 4? This is ridiculous! No, this is ludicrous! This is turning into another American Idol fiasco. Good grief. Maybe Nigel was wrong. I don’t think I want people who made these choices on So You Think You Can Dance? this week voting for our next president. Next thing we know David Cook will be running our country. Anyway, at least Courtney is safe this week, and we didn’t lose two of our best dancers. Losing Will is horrible. I told Julie, I’d be more upset losing Twitch, because I backed Twitch from the first moment I saw him. But I really thought Will was going to win this competition in the end. What an amazing dancer he is. He could dance rings around Mark, and he was far more likeable than Mark as well. I don’t know what happened here America. Although it would be quite awesome if Mark suffered a mysterious “Jessica King-like” injury and they had to bring Will back in. I did not suggest anything here, Will fans, so put your bats and crowbars away. Mark did win this spot fair and square, no matter how much we don’t like it. We’ll just have to deal by complaining about it.
This was a night of surprises, and not in a good way. Seeing Twich in the bottom two was a shock, but having him joined by Will and knowing one of my two favorite guys was about to leave was horrible. After they both did their solos, I kept hoping that, maybe, it was all part of a joke, and they’d bring back Mark or even Joshua and say “gotcha', you’re going home!” But they gave Will the news he was leaving. I really believe this was a case of people forgetting to vote, or just thinking that THE best dancer in the competition would obviously be safe. I honestly have believed for a while now that he would be the winner…but America has screwed it up. At least I know that he will have a career in dance if he wants one, because he is an incredible dancer, and now people know about him. Comfort on the other hand…is gone. Hopefully for good. I don’t really have a lot to say about that, it was a long time coming. Mark - you better watch your kneecaps!
If you girls say I should be shocked, then...I am SHOCKED! Shootie, shoot-shoot! I thought Will was...a...dancer! Now, he's...not. How will I go on? How can I pick up the pieces?!! I will miss his flashy belt buckle. Wait, is that half-naked chick who was dancing with him still on there? Yeah? Oh, then it's all good. And I said Comfort would go home, so...I'm half-right with my predictions! I may not be much of a Dance fan, but that means Artie was just as good as you ladies, so you betta' step it up, doggs! Ha ha. Funk out!
