I’m starting a little late tonight because I was baking a pumpkin pie and doing the prep work for some stuffing from scratch! Happy Thanksgiving to all of you fellow SYTYCD fans! And now for the results show. I always get nervous, and I don’t know why, so let’s get this thing started.
I am already loving this Alice in Wonderland themed group routine! The colors, the costumes, the quirkiness! It’s fantastic. I am loving Kathryn front and center. She really is getting better and better every time I see her. Jakob continues to amaze me with his crazy flexibility. My roommate Caity would really like to see a Jakob and Kathryn have a flexibility contest, especially after Kathryn’s Sonya routine last night! But to sum up, that was a fantastic routine by Nappy Tabs! It’s nice to see them do something out of the box like that!
After some Thanksgiving wishes from Nigel, the first two couples on the chopping block are Jakob/Ashleigh and Victor/Karen. I wonder who’s going to be in danger here? And to no one’s surprise, it’s Victor and Karen. Let’s hope Karen read some message boards and brings a little more to her solo this week.
Next to be analyzed are Nathan/Mollee and Legacy/Kathryn. Not sure who’s safe here to be honest. It looks like Mollee and Nathan will be making a repeat appearance in the bottom three.
The last two couples up are Russell/Noelle and Ryan/Ellenore. This could really go either way. And it’s Ellenore and Ryan in the bottom three. I really think Ryan is just bringing this partnership down a bit. I’m pretty sure they will both make the Top 10 though.
After a guest performance from a principal at American Ballet Theater, we get to see some solos.
Karen – Well that was definitely better than last week, but it was still a little boring to me. You would think that ballroom dancers on this show might want a little plan of attack for when they have to do a solo, but they haven’t seemed to grasp that yet.
Victor – He really loves the dramatic music, but I don’t think his dancing is dramatic enough to live up to that. It’s obviously great dancing, but I feel like there’s something missing. I’m not sure what it is, but I never get drawn in to him.
Mollee – She really does a lot of cool things in her solos. This one feels a little frantic to me, but still damn impressive. As I’ve said before she can really fuse together gymnastics and dance in a way that no one else can. She is definitely Top 10 material.
Nathan – He definitely picks the best music for his solos. I wish he could bring the passion of his solos to his couple dancing. His maturity in his solos is really good too. He will definitely benefit from a new partner.
Ellenore – She continues to be so unique! No one dances like her, ever! She brings so much to this show. I would really hate to see her go. I’m sure she’s fine.
Ryan – Well, he is showing a lot of muscle, that’s for sure. I really don’t like ballroom solos because I feel like they’re too fake, but he did ok. I don’t like him, but I think he did enough to stay. The audience seems to adore him.
The Girls are up for elimination first as per usual. The judges praised Molle’s fight for her place in the Top 10. They told Ellenore that they don’t know why she’s not getting votes because they can’t think of anything she needs to do to improve in this competition. They told Karen that her solo seemed like she was giving up, and then they kicked her off. Definitely appropriate. She had some good moments, but it was definitely her time to leave. Good luck in the dance world, Karen, I’m sure you will be just fine.
Nigel says the judges are not unanimous in their decision about the boys. He compares Victor’s growth with Kelly Osbourne’s on Dancing with the Stars. Weird, but ok. They tell Ryan that his partner work is great, but he needs to work on his solos. The judges feel that Nathan hasn’t grown enough, and if Nigel had his way he would be leaving, but it’s going to be Victor tonight. He will also be fine getting work as a dancer. It’s so hard to see anyone go this season because they all are so great.
This worked out fine for me tonight, and now we have our Top 10! Here are my “fantasy pairings” for next week:
Jakob/ Ellenore – this would be a POWER COUPLE
Russell/ Ashleigh – I’m not sure why I want to see this, but I think it’d be interesting.
Legacy/ Mollee – for some reason I think he might be able to calm her down.
Nathan/ Kathryn – if they got contemporary it would be kind of amazing.
Ryan/ Noelle – and then these two can get the boot. Sorry.
Can’t wait to see who’s with who because I swear my Top 10 predictions are always wrong! Until next week, have a great Thanksgiving and enjoy a new Glee! G’nite!
