As for the SYTYCD Emmy nominations: I saw the nods to Mia Michaels' "Mercy" and Napoleon and Tabitha's "Bleeding Love" coming coming from a mile away. Those were two of the most beloved routines of the season at the time and two of the most remembered since then. I was, however, surprised about the other two routines that were recognized. I didn't remember Dmitry's Argentine tango at all. All I remembered about Tyce Diorio's "Silence" was that Will wore the least amount of clothing allowed on network TV. (I bet Tyce is going to be even more insufferable now that he's got an Emmy nom.) After re-watching, I can attest that both routines are very nice, but I'm a bit shocked that they were nominated and "The Garden" wasn't. I mean, "The Garden" is an iconic SYTYCD routine--maybe it was a little too out-there for Emmy voters?
My prediction for tonight's show: Kupono and Randi will be headed home.
The play-by-play:
- The people here a SYTYCD really just love to push Melissa out of her comfort zone, huh? Here she is in the group number wearing pointe shoes and doing ballet.
- That was actually kind of boring for a Wade Robson routine.
- Cat appears wearing a extremely sparkly, dangerously short dress.
- It must suck for Cat to have to announce all the Emmy nominees when she was majorly snubbed yet again.
- Nigel's getting an honorary degree in England and he's not here? It feels so strange without him here! But it's kind of nice having one fewer people here gabbing away.
- Goodness! That opening lift in Kup and Randi's paso was all kinds of rough! I didn't notice that last night.
- So Janette's still the obvious shoe-in for the girls? She was the first one told that she's save. I thought Jeanine would get the first reprieve. Randi is the first girl in the bottom two. Jeanine gets the second reprieve. Kayla's safe too. Melissa's the second girl in the bottom two. (And, hey, that's the way it should be!)
- Look who isn't skating by on the popularity of Evan and Ade anymore...
- It will be interesting to see who is in the bottom two for the guys (in addition to Pono). Will fan-favorite Evan escape the danger-zone yet again? If he does, that leaves only fan-favorites Brandon and Ade and Jason who had the powerhouse routine of the night.
- Cat shows us some more highlights from the season 6 auditions. I'm still not interested in them.
- This 18-year-old Utah girl who moved to California is a good dancer, but she's a tad annoying.
- Does it look like the hairstylist didn't quite finish with Cat before the show started, or is it just me?
- Jason is the first safe boy! And he celebrates by yelling "YEEEAAAAHH" a couple of times. Oh geez, Evan's safe too! What does this kid have to do to get in the bottom two/three? Pono has blue and yellow streaks on his face and a very bizarre outfit (parachute capri pants with white tassels and a shredded vest) and he's in the bottom two. Brandon's safe and Ade's in the bottom two and they both look surprised.
- Next week Mia and Ellen Degeneres are going to join Nigel and Mary on the judging panel?! Ooh-kay. (There's going to be a lot of chatting next week.)
- Cat teases the performances of "The Bench," "The Hummingbird" and "Ramalama" in the 100th episode next Thursday.
- Randi: I think her solo is better tonight, but maybe that's just because she's not wearing that gross silky ruffled dress.
- Mary can't think of any specific moments of Randi on the show? What about the butt dance, Mary? How could she have forgotten that?
- Debbie points out that Randi's outfit is much better tonight than last night. And she also reminds us that she's no fan of the paso doble. Lol.
- Pono: So he came up with this one solo and that's all he's got? But yet he always has time to shred up another new outfit?
- People, people! We've only got 20 minutes left and we've still got to do two more solos and watch the Black Eyed Peas and kick some people off! We don't have time for 15-minute monologues from Mary!
- Melissa: Are they supposed to be doing the same solos that they did last night, or have these people just run out of ideas?
- Debbie flat out tells Melissa that she needs to show us more in her solos. Tell her like it is, Debbie! (Ohh, that was awesome!)
- Ade's doing the same solo tonight too. Complete with the back flip that comes too close to the stairs...cause apparently giving people heart attacks is a good thing to do in your solo?
- I've said it before, the Black Eyed Peas/Fergie must have some kind of sweetheart deal with SYTYCD. They show up on here in one form or another at least once every season.
- Fergie needs another outfit badly. The black bustier/skin tight black leggings/black wedge shoes just doesn't look good.
- The Black Eyed Peas pull out just one back up "dancer" who just takes off her shirt. Well, thanks for that... Oh, ok, here are some more "dancers." They're not really doing anything either.
- As far as Black Eyed Peas songs go, this one's not particularly memorable or catchy. Usually they come up with something that you don't particularly want to like, but it's so darn catchy/relentless that you can't not listen to it.
- Cat even makes all the members of the Black Eyed Peas looks short.
- The girls: Randi's going home. She tells Melissa not to cry because she's not crying. So long, unitard girl, it's been fun. (She really should have worn a unitard for her solo last night instead of that ugly dress.)
- The guys: Kupono's going home too. Thank goodness, I'm so over this kid! I thought his to-do lists were cute in the beginning, but he's been on my nerves for a few weeks now.
- Randi and Kupono both look liberated--not sad. Strange. They're either being ridiculously good sports or they wanted out.
