Happy 100th episode, So You Think You Can Dance!
Let's see who gets cut going into Top 6 week. The 8-to-6 cuts have been dicey in the past. Yesterday I mentioned that Will got cut during Top 8 week last year, and it has since occurred to me that Allison got cut in Top 8 week during Season 2. And Will and Allison were definitely two of the best dancers ever on SYTYCD, so who knows what surprises we're in for tonight.
The play-by-play:
- Why was I under the impression that this was a special two-hour episode?
- Do not tell me this is another Tyce Broadway number! How many of those are we going to have to watch in one night?
- I don't know why the audience is screaming? I could do this stuff... I don't think I'd wear that white tux outfit though...
- Did we just kick of the 100th episode with arguably the worst group number ever?
- MIA choreographed it!!! Not Tyce! Ugh. The poor Broadway choreo disease is spreading...
- Cat is wearing a black mini dress with sleeves that has a sparkly tiger face on it! She's pulling out the big guns (cats?) for this special episode!
- Mia's headband situation is so bizarre.
- How many birthdays does Nigel have this year?
- I see Pasha!!!
- And Courtney Galiano! I like her. Does this mean we get to see "The Garden"? Please?
- Hey, there's Benji in the back! You win the stinking show and they don't even give you a front row seat?
- If Nigel thinks Tyce's cancer routine united a country, he was not reading the same EW message board that I was...
- The retrospective montage included the swing dancing guys!!! I still love them.
- Why does Sex get more screen time in the retrospective than past winners?
- Why was Jason crying during Vegas week? Did they show us that?
- Well, if nothing else, at least SYTYCD gave Twitch a reason not to join the Navy when he didn't want to...
- Gosh, there have been a lot of great routines on this show. Unfortunately, not many of them have been this season...
- Who cares about the results? I just want to see the vintage SYTYCD routines.
- Ohh, booooooooooooooo! Tyce's cancer routine bought Melissa an extra week that she did not deserve. This is going to suck.
- So, what's that mean? That Kayla's going to go home? Geez. Is Top 8 week when we lose all the good dancers?
- This doesn't bode well for Jason either.
- And Janette's the other one in the bottom two girls. This situation is NOT good.
- Well, even if this season is now completely screwed up, at least we get to watch "The Hummingbird and the Flower." This routine is really fantastic. And not because it was specifically choreographed to garner sympathy votes...
- Boys' results: Ugh. Poor Jason. Maybe he'd be save this week too if only his zombie had had a horrible disease (aside from zombie-ism, that is). WHAT? Now BRANDON is in the bottom two as well? Oy vey. This will officially go down as the night Season 5 (already a precarious endeavor) veered waaaaaaaaaaaaaaay off track. This show is really going to have to bring it for Season 6 to make up for the debacle that Season 5 has been.
- Explain to me why if one of the Janette/Evan combo had to be in the bottom four, it turned out to be the one who danced both of their dances better?
- Now on to the (previously taped) "Bench" routine. Heidi's hair is brilliantly blond these days! It's kind of amazing how they can perform these routines so very similarly after several years.
- Kayla does the same solo she did last night, which is fine with me, because I still like it and I still love the dress.
- Jason also does the same solo, more or less. Maybe a little better tonight. Cat says it's brilliant.
- Janette is also doing the same one. I kind of wish Jeanine was in the bottom two just so I could see her solo again; I really liked that one.
- Brandon opens his solo with an impressive display of pirouettes, as if to say, "Why did you crazy-ass people vote for Evan instead of me?"
- It's time for "Ramalama"!! (Which I think is also previously taped.) Allison looks crazy scary. Wade! Whose place is Wade taking? There were five guys and four girls dancing this routine the first time around because one of the girls was injured. (After consulting Wikipedia, it looks like the fifth boy--who Wade was subbed in for--was Ryan Rankine.) I feel like we're seeing way more of Wade than everyone else combined. Ivan looks different. Dmitry looks almost unrecognizable. I think it's because the zombie makeup is even weirder this time around. The red under-eye circles are not particularly flattering.
- I love how Cat took all the "in danger" dancers up onto the balcony with her and had them pretend like they just saw "Ramalama" performed. That was some pretty impressive acting from them.
- The ridiculousness of tonight's results is detracting from my enjoyment of the performances of the iconic routines.
- And now for another previously-recorded dance routine...it's the already-legendary Tyce/Katie Holmes number. Let's finally see this monstrosity... Or at least stop talking to Katie Holmes--we don't really care what she has to say at this point. Is she going to dance in those super high heals? It's Mark! Oh yeah, Katie's not lip-syncing at all... She doesn't even have a microphone. Is that Joshua I see? Who are these other generic dudes? The one is getting a heck of a lot of screen time. Way more than Josh, a SYTYCD winner. I don't think they got one good shot of Josh during that whole number. (Did I hear that Twitch was supposedly in it too? I didn't see him at all.)
- Well, at least Josh got some quick camera time there for standing next to Tyce. Unfortunately, that means he had to stand next to Tyce... Lol.
- Ha ha, Judy Garland's son, Joe, was there in the audience tonight "to witness that" number.
- Girls' results: It's Janette! This sucks. She never even got to do that fancy flip-split thing again. Good luck at the bank I guess, Janette. Nigel says that Janette was his favorite and he really wanted her to win this season. Ok, Janette says that she's realized how much she really, really loves to dance, so it sounds like the bank job is on hold now.
- Guys' results: Jason. Boooooooooooooo. Poor Jason. I'm guessing he won't get a special speech from Nigel too, huh? He should have gone shirtless for his solo this week, I guess. Aww, poor Jason is crying. He's very gracious and thanks everyone who has helped him get to this point.
- All the judges, choreographers and alumni dancers join this year's contestants up on the stage. When the end credit music starts to play, some of the current dancers go to hug tonight's evictees, but the alumni just start dancing. Lol.
- So it's looking like Evan for the win, huh? He's been sailing through while being mostly mediocre, so if he actually pulls out something awesome in the next two weeks, it looks like he's a virtual lock.
