Make It Up As We Go

They really are just flying by the seat of their pants this season on SYTYCD. Injury protocol, inviting people back again, letting it get down to 1 girl and 5 guys...what's next? The debut of the first Double Dutch routine? Actually? I wouldn't mind that at all!! New idea? Why the heck not?

I have to say, I was not really looking forward to this results show at all, and I was pretty tempted just to look up the results and call it a night, but I didn't.

The group dance was pretty great, although I didn't notice any of the competitors in it. Mark stole the show, 100% and I had to really strain to see Lauren, Kent, and Adechike. Didn't see Jose or Robert at all.

As far as results, not a huge surprise, but Jose and Robert were in the B3 again. I guess since they've never been in the bottom, Kent, Lauren, and Adechike (wtf?) will be headed to the Top 3 finale. That should be interesting.

There were some good guest performances today, despite my initial "Ugh, I hate guest performances" comment when I heard it was Pitbull and Enrique Iglesias. DJ Smart and his 10-pack abs were incredible. The ABT dancers were stunning, particularly the girl - couldn't take my eyes of her! Lauren and Neil performed their Wade Robson "Night of the Dancing Flame" routine, which was just as great today as it was Season 3, complete with creepy Lauren screams!

Both Jose and Robert's solos were overwhelmingly better than Wednesday's performance show solos, but when it came down to eliminations, they eliminated...no one. I knew that was happening when Cat asked Nigel, "Did you make up your minds?" and without even a hesitation, Nigel just said no. So, next week, 2 dancers will be eliminated, and I'm guessing it will be Jose and Billy. Sorry guys, it's time.

Also announced today was a majority of the tour lineup, which includes Top Guy/Girl from Season 6 (Russell and Kathryn) and Season 7 (Lauren and TBD), all-stars Allison, Dominic, Courtney, and Ade, and then 4 more that are TBD. Personally I'm hoping for Jakob, Ellenore, Mollee, and Kent (if he doesn't win). This should be an interesting tour. I wonder if they'll perform new stuff or just have all stars step into routines people did with other partners? I don't know if I'll go or just watch on YouTube...we'll see.
