"And that's a W-A-R-P."

[jaina]

Awww, it was the last night with our SYTYCD couples. Next week they'll be all broken up, which is happy and sad, I guess.

Chelsie and Mark- Meh on their first dance. I think the music choice was unfortunate. But the Broadway? YOWZA. I am going to miss this pairing so, so badly. I hope they both stay on the show for a long time so we can see them dance together again! Mark is somehow getting hotter every week. I have no idea how he's doing it, but I'm not complaining.

Twitchington-- The juggernaut rumbles along. I'll be very happy to see them dance with other people; I think Kherrington (that NAME!) was really, really lucky to get paired with Twitch. The judges have been really easy on her. There was a really unfortunate moment in their tango (what a waste of great music!) where there was a closeup of her face, and she just looked...blank. I have no idea what her personality is, other than that she smiles a lot and apparently has flawless skin. Or really good makeup.

Comfort and Thayne-- Are so gone. Unless Will/Jess wind up in Bottom 3, and the judges give Comfort yet another shot (but I don't think they will). No chemistry, and Comfort is just not progressing technically.

Courtney and Gev-- My other favorites! I voted for them a ton tonight, because they're adorable and they have tremendous chemistry and they have fun onstage and I'm incredibly impressed with the way Gev picks up new dance styles. (Also, HI PASHA AND ANYA!!!) And they dressed Gev like Indiana Jones! Oh costume people, you know how to make me smile.

Will and Jessica-- Are just not a good match. I don't know what it is; whether Jessica is just a level below him, or if Will doesn't partner well, or what the reason is, but they have just never connected, and it shows in their dancing. It was especially obvious in the Garden of Eden thingie; there's no smoothness, no confidence that the other person will be there to catch them or hold them.

Katee and Joshua-- Rocked the house tonight. Bollywoooooood! I liked Joshua to start with, and Katee's winning me over, slowly but surely. She truly is an amazing dancer. She was so graceful in the waltz, it was just fantastic to watch her.

Mia Michaels-- GO AWAY. Stick to choreography and leave your nasty, non-constructive judging self out of it.

I'll just say Word to your entire post. Chelsie and Mark are definitely my favorites. Even when I don't love their dance, I still love THEM. They are so much fun to watch and I will miss that parnership, too. Katee and Joshua are another couple I'll really miss. They have a great connection and rocked that Bollywood routine. Very fun!

And yes. Mia? Please shut up and take your stupid, mean, hurtful comments with you. I hope you know you made me vote Jessica. Lots. And when you leave please take Comfort and Thayne with you. If those two don't leave tomorrow and take someone else's place in the top 10 I will cry.

Everything you said, and especially a strong second to the whole Mark getting hotter every week. How is that happening? But darn he's cute. If he weren't so cute, I'd still be a Katee/Joshua fan, but I think if Chelsea keeps getting routines she can nail so naturally they are really hard to beat. I don't even remember what style Mark originally dances, he just seems to take everything in stride.

Aaahhhh we finally watched this show, after several weeks of meaning to. (Helloooo, TiVo!) And I totally agree about Courtney and Gev; she is just totally unafraid to do the moves she needs to do to get the idea of the dance across, and not so worried about how gorgeous she looks. Squee!

And the Bollywood dance! I could have watched that for an hour or so. What fun. What energy!
