The Green Mile...dun dun dun

It’s kinda morbid that they call it the green mile, but the nickname has stuck and that’s what I’m going with. Today we finally get to find out the Top 20! Is anyone else ridiculously excited about this? Unlike last season, they haven’t been cutting everyone who gets any camera time, so in all likelihood, we will get to see a group of people that we are somewhat familiar with! I made my predictions after last week’s episode, but since then I must admit…I cheated and looked at the spoilers!!! I knew I would do it, I can’t know it’s there and not look at it! So, as a fun game for me (and hopefully for you too!), I’m going to take predictions from the 5 other people here watching tonight! This should be good. Let’s do this!

First up is…Nathan Trasoras! What do you think guys? Would they really have put all that attention on him last season if they didn’t want him in the Top 20?

Predictions:

Caity – Yes

Emily – Yes

Kim – Yes

Laura – Yes

Maureen – Not here yet.

Answer – Yes! He’s made it! The tweens of America can rejoice! Their man candy is in!

Some no’s for a bunch of people right off the bat. And now it’s time for David [insert last name here]. He’s a ballet dancer who I remember clips of, but we didn’t really see any of him in Vegas.

Predictions:

Caity – No

Emily – Yes

Kim – Yes

Laura – Yes

Maureen – Not here yet.

Answer – Nope. Sorry David. I wasn’t a big fan of the loin cloth, so I’m ok with this.

Next up is Kathryn McCormick. We haven’t seen too much of her, so what does the peanut gallery think? My goodness, I want them all to say “no” just because of how she talks. I’m glad the judges give her a hard time for the squeakiness.

Predictions:

Caity – Yes

Emily – Yes

Kim – No

Laura – Yes

Maureen – No

Answer – Yes, she’s in Vegas. Good lord the TV’s going be on mute when she gets kicked off.

Only two dancers are in so far, so let’s see what the future has in store for Channing Cooke!

Predictions:

Caity – Yes

Emily – Yes

Kim – Yes

Laura – No

Maureen – No

Answer – YES! Unanimously voted into the Top 20! They want her to learn to use a partner though.

Arianna Debose – she’s in! And so excited! Ellenore Scott is in too!

And Noelle Marsh and Mollee Gray are having a lovefest on camera. They’re just being cute little teeney boppers! Not their time yet though. It’s Billy Bell time! Unanimous yeses from the couch potatoes! Answer – Yes, DUH! The judges were beyond impressed by him all week. They weren’t fooling anyone! Yay for Billy!

Jake Gidri and Brandon Dumlao are no’s. Sad, but hopefully they will come back. Amber Jackson is next. It would be great to see her make it through because of all she’s been through with her family, so let’s see.

Predictions:

Caity – No

Emily – Yes

Kim – No

Laura – Yes

Maureen – Yes

Answer – No for Amber. The holding room seems shocked.

It is finally Russell Ferguson time! I don’t know anyone who watches this show that doesn’t absolutely LOVE him! My living room critics give him a unanimous and energetic YES! Answer – YES! SYTYCD has its first krumper in the Top 20! The judges love him and so do I!

Is there room for Kevin Hunt, another hip hop dancer? Yes! I love him too! That was too quick for a vote, but in case you were wondering, the room loves him. It’s time for a commercial and they have yet to show a tap dancer. Hmmm.

Hey, whadda ya know, it’s TAPPER TIME! Could this be the year of the tapper as Nigel and I predicted? Bianca will know first. My entire living room says YES. Answer – Yes! Nigel said it was a controversial decision, but I think they were just messing with her. Go tappers!!!

Phillip Attmore’s turn! Tapper number two, will you continue this trend?

Predictions:

Caity – No

Emily – No

Kim – Yes

Laura – No

Maureen – No

Answer – Yes, another tapper has made the cut! I’m not sure about him because of his big mouth and using it as a defense mechanism. We shall see. He’s so talented!

And here goes tapper numero tres! Peter Sabastino’s turn!

Predictions:

Caity – Yes

Emily – Yes

Kim – No

Laura – No

Maureen – Yes

Answer – Yes! All three tappers are in! WOOHOO! Finally a break from the monotony of contemporary solos!! And Peter had the best reveal ever! His little happy dance rocked my world.

There’s been some bad news for the past half hour, apparently. The Hart twin is out AGAIN. Damn you producers. Can’t cry about it too long though because next up is Victor Smalley.

Predictions:

Caity – Yes

Emily – No

Kim – No

Laura – No

Maureen – Yes

Answer – Yes. This is the only guy so far that I feel like I don’t really know yet.

Jacob Karr is in too! For all the early hype he’s gotten online, the producers really haven’t shown that much of him.

Mollee Gray is up next. They really have shown her too much not to put her in the Top 20.

Predictions:

Caity – Yes

Emily – No, just because I don’t like her.

Kim – Yes

Laura – Yes

Maureen – Yes

Answer – Yes. But they want her to dance more maturely.

Mollee’s BFF Noelle Marsh is next in the special little holding room. She’s “wanted this since she was three”. That’s weird.

While Noelle is waiting, Pauline gets the news. Will they overlook her ankle injury and send her to the Top 20? Unanimous no from the couch crew, but the answer is yes! They would never have kept her with that ankle injury if they didn’t want her in the Top 20.

Ok Noelle’s turn now. Will she be joining her Vegas roomie in Hollywood?

Predictions:

Caity – Yes

Emily – Yes

Kim –No

Laura – Yes

Maureen – Yes

Answer – Yes! She and Mollee can continue their love affair on national TV. It’s actually pretty damn cute! They’re just little kids!

Some bad news for Tyrone, Alexie, and a couple more. I was really rooting for Alexie since she’s a Bruin. Sad!

Legacy is up next. He is a unanimous no from the room. We all pretty much agree on his mediocrity. Unfortunately the judges disagree with us, and he’s in.

Paula Van Oppen is up next.

Predictions:

Caity – Yes

Emily – Yes

Kim – Yes

Laura – Yes

Maureen – Yes

Answer – yes. She was told immediately with no small talk from anyone. That’s a first!

The four dancers left are all ballroom. Yet again, they will only be taking a couple of ballroomers this season. The boys are up first, it’s Ryan vs. Dean:

Predictions:

Caity – Ryan

Emily – Ryan

Kim – Ryan

Laura – Ryan

Maureen – Ryan

Answer – It’s Ryan! Not too surprising since I don’t really have any idea who Dean is. So one Dilello is in, but will the other one be as well?

And here come the girls. It’s Ashley vs. Karen Hauer, who was also part of a husband/ wife team. Who’s it going to be?

Predictions:

Caity – Ashley

Emily – Ashley

Kim – Karen

Laura – Ashley

Maureen – Ashley

Answer – It’s Karen! I gotta say, it was slightly cruel for them to send Karen out first and have her hug Ryan before Ashley gets to. But wait, what’s this? Ashley is in too! Paula has been offered a movie contract, so there was a spot for them both! I can’t say I’m excited about Ashley, but oh well, the husband/wife thing will be amusing. As Bianca said, “Now [they] have 18 kids!”

WOW! This is a phenomenal Top 20!!! I could not be more excited! They are fantastic, and I am so excited for this season! And, we only have to wait until Monday to see a little preview in the first ever Top 20 intro show! It should be a great night of performances, plus we’ll get to see the partner reveal which is one of my favorite parts! So there you have it! The Top 20 has been revealed, so let the dancing begin! And now it’s time for some more dancing (and singing!) with some Gleeeeee!!!
