I was disappointed to see Ryan (Evan’s brother) get axed – but he really didn’t dance very well. Hope he goes home and practices his ass off and comes back for Season 7.
The (whatever subgenre of people who spin around on the floor and shit) who danced for his life and got through shouldn’t have – as someone said, “it’s time to start cutting people … so we’re gonna cut people.”
I agree with Ryan. I wanted to see him through, but he just wasn’t good enough this time.
I absolutely loved the first girl they showed, the ballerina with a sense of humor. She was adorable.
If this Legacy guy falls through, do we know of any other B-boys in the competition? We usually get at least one per year in the top 20.
I was very impressed with the crumper’s ability to pick up the choreo. It didn’t look like he was struggling with it at all; he looked very natural dancing that style and it was as if he’s used to being choreographed. And his partner- the world class ballroom dancer, or whatever she is, must have about 2% body fat. She’s all lean sinew.
Yeah, that was extremely cool – as was the rapport between him and the partner. I hope they both make it to the top 20. Any chance the producers would actually pair them to start the competition?
Really really sad to see the Russian chick go. Can’t say I still remember anyone’s name, but am glad the Krumper is doing so well and the guy who made Adam Shankman cry was a highlight. I still have a hard time believing Blonde “dances like a girl, not a woman” is 18–she looks 15 to these aging eyes. But quite a few of the other ladies are real hotties (and talented, natch). I have a hard time seeing the married couple both making the final cut, but most of the other dramatic stories have been left by the wayside, so I’m sure they’ll latch onto that one for as long as they can.
I was sorry to see the blonde Valkyrie (or whatever the Russian equivalent is) go also, but glad the krumper is still in – what an amazing dancer he is.
I was really bummed that they showed so little of the “overnight dances” finished products – that is one of my favorite parts of Vegas week. Guess there weren’t any major disasters this year. I thought they were rushing through it to get to the top 20 or something, but no, that’s clearly going to be next week, phew. So I could have done with a little less of chicks fucking up their ankles and a little more of the overnight dances.
I am so happy Nigel yelled at thy one dancer who broke down crying when he got cut. Even showing his accident in season thre made him look worse with his, “OMG it hurts so much.” the brunette who sprained her ankle took it like a champ.
At least the fact that they’re of opposite sexes will prevent the producers from doing their favorite “There’s two of you and only one slot left” torture. :rolleyes:
It’s even worse: let’s skip showing much of the dances so we can devote AN ENTIRE HOUR to watching the judges torment the dancers one by one. You know, where they try to make each and every dancer that gets through believe at first that they won’t? That is sooooo sick. I think I’ll skip the show entirely next week.
I missed her getting the ax. 
That’s too bad because she was better than half the women left.
She was very very good at what she was good at, but they showed a brief glimpse of her not really handling the jazz choreo (and I’m guessing contemporary wouldn’t have been much better). Still, very sorry to see her go–rockin’ body and adorable personality. Hope she tries again…
What the hell is wrong with Mia Michaels? She critiqued a routine as “stupid”.
But it appears she quitting, so I’ll never have to gaze on her annoying visage again. YEA!
I still hate her for how she talked to Brandon last year, and how she tried to play it off as if she were just being hard on him because she “knew he could do it” and wanted him to just try harder.
I just hate the choreographers who act like they’re some kind of dance genius and everyone should be groveling in their presence, Mia Michaels and that one woman who said, “You have the audacity to ask that kind of question in my presence?”
off to check that out
Huh. I’ll be sorry to lose her routines. I’m not a fan of how she treats the dancers most of the time, but she did some beautiful work on the show.
I think that was initially ego driven – That Mia thought Mary Murphy had been a bit too effusive in her praise for Brandon, and reacted by deciding that she loathed him. When Mary didn’t escalate and play the game with her, she eventually eased up and may have even realized what an ass she was being. She strikes me as the sort of person who periodically realizes what an ass she’s being but laughs it off as just part of being “demanding”.
That woman was a twit. Seriously out of touch with reality.
So what’s up? Mia’s leaving the show? What gives? (Despite the Brandon thing, I don’t hate Mia – and some of her numbers have been just wonderful.)
ETA: Confirmed that she’s out; wonder what that’s about?
I think she acted like that because she thought that that was how she was supposed to act like.
Yeah, I can’t stand her, but I do have to agree that her stuff can be wonderful. Maybe they’ll give Travis her spot.
Mia is definitely a fan of herself, but she added a dimension to the show that will be missed. Of course, Travis is up and coming and I think he’ll step up to fill her shoes.
That one choreographer “Who has the audacity to speak in my presence?” should be fired for acting like a bad reality show diva.
Cat is lovely but needs to eat.
What’s with Mia’s buzz cut? Is this connected with her departure from the show (medical problems, mental breakdown)?
I am giddy with delight that three tappers made it into the top 20 – I hope there’s an opportunity for two of them to do a tap number at some point, or maybe a group number with them front and center.
I hate hate hate Molly and hope she goes home soon.
Has anyone ever turned them down after making top 20 before? And how interesting that she went through the final winnowing if she knew she wasn’t going to be able to do it – just curious about whether she’d make it? hoping for a little extra TV time?
I don’t care for the ballroom dancer who made it in by the skin of her teeth – partially because it seems so clear to me that she doesn’t love her husband nearly as much as he loves her.
Remember, competition begins on Monday of next week (I guess the World Series starts Wednesday?).
Woo hoo! Let the dancing begin! Looks like it will be a great season – I’m psyched.
Who was that girl whose voice rose whenever she cried? God, she was annoying. What’s worse than the fact that she’s an annoying crier is she cries all the damn time.
I am disappointed Paula declined. She really seemed to sparkle to me in Vegas.
Can’t stand Mollee. Or Ashleigh.
My current favorite is the krumper. I wanna call him Russell, but I’m not sure if I’m confusing him with the guy on survivor. Victor might be fun to look at…
