The solos:
Jaymz Pretty random, but the moves had more strength, overall, than Ben’s. That will play well with the judges.
But, you’d think with his falling out of turns and actually falling OFF the stage that sloppiness might have counted against him. I don’t understand why the judges think he has growth potential. I guess I just don’t get Jaymz!
So here I was, talking to y’all on the old thread, not realizing you had all moved to a new thread. You weren’t trying to ditch me, were you? :eek: (Thanks for letting me know, annieclaus.)
Here’s what I posted in the other thread:
I’m late to the game because I was on vacation last week. Either everyone’s lost interest in the show or they were on vacation as well.
Anyway, it ran over again and I missed the final comments, but I see from the website that Ben and Aleksandra were voted off.
My thoughts: I agreed with just about everything that Nigel said, except that I thought Aleksandra did fine. She blew it with her “save my life” dance, IMO. It was nice to see Nigel apologize for calling her the Corpse Bride, which I thought was cruel.
I thought Musa did great given his limitations; I love his chemistry with Natalee.
Ivan and Allison smoked.
I really liked Jessica and Jaymz contemporary number and was surprised to see them in the bottom three.
Heidi and Ryan did magnificent, probably the best number of the night.
I completely agreed with the judges who said that Martha and Travis were two good performers who simply didn’t gel together. During the routine I commented that Travis was outperforming his partner; not good.
Ashlee looks disconcertedly like Mayim Bailik of the 80’s show “Blossom” but I think she did good. I think Ben did fine, too, until he blew it on the final.
I agree with Nigel that both Ben and Jaymz’s solos sucked rocks. I’m amazed that Ben admitted that he put zero effort into the routine before the judges voted. It showed and it certainly didn’t endear him with the judges. And what was up with Jaymz falling off the freaking stage? Personally, I thought he should have gone home.
Dmitry’s solo was HOT.
So I guess this means that Ashlee and Dmitryi will be paired up? Blech.
I didn’t think Jaymz fell off the stage. I think he got off of it on purpose. Remember, Nigel complimented them on their dance for using the whole area and not just the stage–I think he was trying to tap into that with his solo. I watched it several times on Tivo and it really doesn’t look accidental to me–it just looks rushed, because his time was running out.
