Welcome to another week of results on So You Think You Can Dance (dance…….dance)!  This week Adam and Mia really piss me off, I actually don’t mind watching the musical guest more than once, and Cat has once again had sex in her dressing room right before the show starts.

SYTYCD20100624a

I guess Dominic decided to take it to a deeper place after all.

I know.  That was gross.  I’m so sorry.

We open with a group number, as we usually do, and I get excited as soon as I see the name Roisin Murphy under the song title.  Wade?  Is that you Wade?

SYTYCD20100624b

SYTYCD20100624c

Nope, not Wade.  It was a Sonya routine.  I’m not complaining, because I like Sonya a lot, I was just really happy thinking it was a Wade routine.  Ah well, maybe next week.  On a different topic….

SYTYCD20100624d

Am I the only one that thinks the lights look like neon donuts this year?

Have they always been like this and I’ve never noticed?  It’s weird.  And making me hungry for toxic donuts.

I was going to make a comment about Cat’s outfit, but really, who am I to criticize her for employing blind seamstresses?  They get so little work these days.

Cat reminds us that we are live, LIVE!  Well, except for those on the West Coast.  Nanny, nanny, boo, boo!  She says it’s time once again for the drama and trauma of the results.  Poor Cat, I know she hates giving these kids bad news; it’s part of what makes her so great at this job.

She introduces us to the judges, mentioning that Nigel rescued two dogs today.  So?  He is still a giant dickwad.

SYTYCD20100624e

Evidence:  This smug look about how awesome he is

Also, did you know Dance Day is coming up?  Dance.  Day.  He plugs the routine that Tabitha and Napoleon have come up with (I refuse to use their stupid nickname), and then also says that you can tell Fox what you’re planning to do on that day and you may get some cameras there to put you on TV.  Oh, great.  I’m already SO EXCITED to see camera whores dancing badly.  Just shoot me now.

Time for the first group of dancers.  In this grouping are Cristina, Adechike and Kent.

SYTYCD20100624f

I think it’s obvious that Kent will be safe, but I was thinking that both Adechike and Cristina would end up in the bottom three.  I wonder which it will be?

We get our usual rerun of the performances and the judges’ critiques before finding out that Kent is safe.  No surprise there.

SYTYCD20100624g

Huh.  I didn’t know baby Jesus was voting this year.  Did Mary dial for him?  Or the Holy Spirit?

And between Adechike and Cristina, the one in the bottom three is…….

SYTYCD20100624h

Awwww, she’s sweet kid, but I’m not shocked by this.  The judges loved her last night, so she’ll probably be okay.  Cat goes to Adam for his response and he says he’s shocked by this.  He doesn’t get it.

But enough about Cristina.  Adam wants to talk about how he’s become aware that people thought they were extremely harsh in some of their criticism last night.  He has to say, for the record, that no one, not the judges, not the choreographers, and not the dancers are above criticism.

SYTYCD20100624i

So don’t criticize our critiques!

Back to Cristina, she has a great attitude despite ending up in the bottom three for the second week in a row.  She says that is why she’s here.  And that’s why I like her despite the fact that she is probably the weakest girl at this point.

Up next are Jose, Melinda, Ashley, and Alex.

SYTYCD20100624j

We all know Alex is going to be safe.  I really want Melinda in the bottom three, but Jose could be in danger here.  If he ends up in the bottom, I’m about 98% sure he’s gonna get the boot.  Please let it be Melinda.  Please, please, please.

As predicted, Alex is safe.  Cat talks about Jose next, which surprises me because I was sure it would be between him and Melinda.  He is safe.  So now it’s down to Melinda and Ashley.  If Melinda isn’t in the bottom three I will have to hurt someone.  The second person in the bottom three is……..

SYTYCD20100624k

Thank you baby Jesus indeed.

We go over to Nigel for his comments.  He says he thinks she needs to show a vulnerability to people, find something that allows people to connect with her.  He doesn’t know what it is; he thinks she’s a super dancer.  As much as I’m not really a fan of hers, I have to admit that she also handles landing in the bottom three well.  I’d still like her to go home though.

Time for the last group of three: Robert, Billy, and Lauren.

SYTYCD20100624l

Uh oh.  From this line up I’d say it’s between Billy and Robert for the final spot in the bottom.  Billy could end up there given that krump from last night.

Lauren’s rerun is up first, and so, she is safe.  But what the hell is she wearing?!?!?

SYTYCD20100624m

Apparently Lauren decided that if by some chance she ended up in the bottom three, wearing her best Fredrick’s of Hollywood outfit was sure to save her.  Actually, that’s pretty well thought out:  Nigel’s boner would be a guaranteed vote in that outfit.  I can’t really give her too hard of time though; the outfits the girls wear are usually pretty close to being underwear.  I’ll save my thoughts on that for another time.

So we’re now down to Billy and Robert.  Billy deserves to be in the bottom due to his performance last night, but Robert irritates the ever loving shit out of me, so I hope he’s the one in the bottom.  I wouldn’t mind him being the first boy sent home.  And the final dancer in the bottom three is……..

SYTYCD20100624n

Good.  Now send him or Melinda home and I will be very happy.  Over to Mia for her comments.  She’s shocked.  She says he is by far one of their favorite performers this season and they don’t want to lose him.  She tells him to fight with everything he’s got.  And then he acts like an idiot once again. 

SYTYCD20100624o

Oy.

I’m thinking he actually annoys me more than Melinda, but then as Cat heads into a commercial……

SYTYCD20100624o1

Not even a glance behind her for her fellow dancers.  I’m back to hoping Melinda goes.  I know, I’m a fickle bitch, what can I say?

Before we get to the dancer’s solos, we have our first guest performance.  Remember when Nigel said Brian Gaynor and his crew could come perform on the show?  Me too!  I thought that meant we’d see him on the finale night, but they are here tonight to perform!  Yay!

SYTYCD20100624p

SYTYCD20100624q

Their masks actually reminded me of JabbaWockeeZ, but I get why they had them.  I think you all know that I love what Brian does, and I have to say, I liked the other two guys in the crew just as much as I like him.  I would be in heaven if we could have guest performances like this every week.

It’s now time for the solos.  Cristina is up first.

SYTYCD20100624r

Ballroom solos are notoriously underwhelming on this show, and Cristina’s is no exception.  She tries, but it’s a pretty forgettable solo even among other forgettable ballroom solos.

Next up is Melinda.

SYTYCD20100624s

They’re back to micing the taps, and I continue to be annoyed by that.  It didn’t seem like they miced her last week, so why now?  I also continue to be unimpressed with her tapping.  I really wish we could get a tapper on this show that could really wow people.  I know they’re out there, just not here on our TVs.  My last note regarding her performance says that at the very least her spandex pants should send her home.  Yikes!

Time for Robert.

SYTYCD20100624u

Of the three he’s definitely the best dancer.  Like I said in yesterday’s recap, I think his personality is affecting the way I feel about his dancing, because I’m still hoping either he or Melinda go home despite Cristina’s weak solo.  His technique was sloppy in some parts, but it doesn’t really matter when comparing what he did with what the other two put forth.  I do think he’ll be in real trouble once he faces off with some of the stronger dancers.

Cat sends the judges off to make their decision, pretending they didn’t already decide this morning which of these three was going home.  To kill some time we have yet another musical guest.  This time it’s Debi Nova singing “Drummer Boy.”  BUT the producers have finally done something smart.  They have backed this week’s lip syncer with six of the all star dancers.

SYTYCD20100624v

SYTYCD20100624w

This may be the first time that I haven’t minded rewatching the musical performance.  As much as I hate them, I wouldn’t mind so much if we had the all stars as backup dancers every week.  Except for the devil.  Someone please give her a night off.

I do have one question: why was Neil the only guy wearing a shirt?

And now, with fifty two minutes in the bag and another commercial break to go, Cat decides to talk to Debi Nova.  WHAT???  Why are we wasting time on her?  Now they’re going to rush through the results and the farewell for the dancer going home.  Does anyone really give a shit about what this lady has to say?  UGH.

Alright, time to get down to business.  Nigel tells us this week the judges were NOT unanimous.  Robert, step forward.  Nigel points out that last week they lost a girl and they started this season with one extra guy, so it seems like it would have been easy to decide to lose a guy.  They’re not going to do that.  He’s staying.

SYTYCD20100624x

I really hope he stops hamming it up so much.  PLEASE, Robert.  I’d like to enjoy your dancing without wanting to kill you.

Melinda, step forward.  Nigel doesn’t know what it is, but the public are not connecting with her.  He wanted to let her go this week, but Adam and Mia voted for her to stay.

SYTYCD20100624y




SYTYCD20100624y1

You have GOT to be kidding me!

I know, Hugh, I feel the same way.  Plech.  I’m so pissed right now.  I’m pissed that Adam and Mia kept her in.  I’m pissed that she didn’t even bother to glance at Cristina, knowing full well that her staying meant Cristina was going home.  And I’m REALLY fucking pissed that this is how Cristina is told she is going home.  Pissed, Pissed, PISSED.

SYTYCD20100624z

Before Cristina leaves, Nigel would like her to know some things.  One, she was absolutely brilliant last night.  Two, she has grown beyond anywhere where they thought, and each week she grows.  She’s like an empty vessel, she wants to learn.

He says they’ve spoken to the choreographers, and her work ethic is very good.  And then he says that sometimes he hears she’s a little slow at moving when she’s told.  What a prick.  First of all, I’m not sure what that even means.  Second, is this really the time to say something like that?  Can he just not leave it at saying nice things about the poor girl?

SYTYCD20100624aa

Oh wait, I forgot we’re dealing with a first class dickwad.

And then Cat goes through her greatest moments good bye montage.  After that, Cat asks her if there’s anything she would like to say before leaving the competition.

SYTYCD20100624ab

Yes, Nigel……suck my ass.

Oh, sorry, that wasn’t her; that was me daydreaming while watching.  Cristina says she wants to thank everybody for this great opportunity and she really enjoyed it.  She starts to get a little choked up and then insists that she’s not going to cry.  She says she will never forget this experience.  She really is a sweet kid.

And that’s that, Gasmi.  What did you think?  Were you hoping like I was that one of the other two would go home?  Anyone you think unfairly escaped the bottom three?  Did you love Brian’s crew as much as I did?

So we’re now down to six guys and three girls.  I’m not usually a betting woman, but I’d say the odds are on a guy going home next week.  Which pisses me off because that means Melinda will stay yet again.  I have a headache just thinking about it.  See you there!

SWAK, PottyMouth

    Thank you PM. Your recap title stated exactly everything I felt about the results. And now we get to enjoy at least one more week of Melinda flailing about the stage or Horseyface muggy for the camera. I feel sorry for all the crap they’re putting Freddy Krueger Jr. (Kent) through though.

    I wanted Melinda to go home…..but there is some thing about Cristina that irks me more. I think its her voice(yes I know has nothing to do with her dancing), every time she opens her mouth I winch. Baby-Grown man gets to stay for another week, I like Robert he needs to act older than his age due to that face. Gosh, what was he smoking cigarettes, drinking liquor, and doing drugs? What could make someone age like that? Buhahahaha Horseyface…..snicker snicker

    First off, WHO IS VOTING FOR ADECHIKE?!?!
    He’s had his own style 2 weeks in a row now, and neither week has been memorable. His place in the top 11 belonged to Anthony dammit! If he’s safe again next week, I’ll be really pissed.
    Robert really needs to shut the hell up. If he wasn’t such a ham, he could easily be one of my favourites. But I’m glad they kept him. I would’ve been really annoyed if he’d been eliminated just because he’s male.
    Melinda needs to go. Actually, she needed to go last week. She was so bad in that jive, she almost took my eyes off Pasha. This week was just meh, and in terms of solos, she’s easily weaker than all of last year’s tappers. And she’s a cold hearted bitch. Which is possibly worse than being a hammy attention whore.
    Trying to think of something positive to say about this episode… Nope, nothing.
    Great recap though!

    rubberduck,I forgot that rant……WHO THE HELL IS VOTING FOR ADECHIKE…Ok there it is. How can his sob story not do anything for me? I’m the person who can’t make it thru ANY episode of Biggest ‘CryBaby’ Loser, even when I say here is where they are going to have someone cry. Anthony oh sweet Anthony with the thighs of steel *wiping drool off keyboard*. He would have showed all of the guys how to dance like a MAN. tata on my way to youtube to reminisce over Mr. Thighs…I mean Anthony

    I am with you re: Melinda. She just spends all of her time mugging for the camera and trying to get exposure for her “acting” career, ugh. So annoying. The next two to go need to be Melinda and Adechike, then probably Jose.

    I ADORE Brian Gaynor and his crew. They were AMAZING. I was having dinner at my parents’ house when SYTYCD came on (and of course, I had it set on their PVR haha) and I made them watch it with me. My parents – particularly my dad – aren’t really into dancing (probably got tired of the million competitions and recitals they had to take me to) but they LOVED RemoteKontrol and my dad even asked to watch it again. I really hope that the rumour that they auditioned for America’s Got Talent is true – they are awesome.

    Great recap, as per usual!

    P.S. I am also missing Anthony like CRAZY. Adechike has been so BLAH, why couldn’t Anthony (or even Adrian) have had his spot?

    Great recap as always! First time commenting so here goes: Anthony definitely was better than a few of these male dancers but I think there’s a theory to the madness here. Every year a great dancer was turned away only to come back the next year and do great: i.e. Alex. He didn’t make it last year but here he is blowing everybody away. Nigel had said at the beginning they were afraid he would have been over-shadowed by other great dancers and that’s why they didn’t put him on. Here he is this year along with a few other outstanding dancers so I’m hoping they were afraid Anthony would’ve got lost in the crowd and not be able to shine so I’m counting on him being here for next season and will go the Alex route – blow everyone away. That’s my theory and I’m sticking with it! At least the only logical one I can stand behind

    brzysmom, I like your theory. The one I had was that they were afraid of his injury, and that may hinder him in the competition

    Posted June 28, 2010 at 10:33 pm

    But the thing is, Anthony is already 29. The age limit for this show is 30, so they are cutting it kind of close. Why couldn’t they have let a younger contestant go (ie Jose, Robert) and brought then back the next year instead? Most of the contestants are younger than 25 (some even younger than 20), so they have the time.

    A bit off topic, but it dawned on me this week watching Kent dance… Has anyone noticed that he and Shankman look alike? During the dance show, when he emerges from under the table, he looked just like him.

  13. 13
    Gerrit Verstoep
    Posted June 29, 2010 at 7:17 am

    To go along with Snootchy Bootches off-topic topic, I have one.

    It appears SYTYCD has totally abandoned the post-competition tour. I mean, Season Six’s tour cancellation was announced late in the competition and never happened. The disheartened dancers were encouraged when Nigel announced ‘they might’ combine the Season Six and Seven top 10 into a single tour but I’ve heard no talk of that. And, I’ve heard no mention of a tour for Season Seven at all. Surely this puts the dancers at sixes and sevens themselves.

    So what are these kids dancing for? Making the top 10 and getting a spot on the tour used to be a big incentive and great consolation prize for those dancers that worked so hard every week to put on a show we could all enjoy but it appears that ‘prize’ has been taken away.

    If you don’t win, is there a prize for coming in second or third? Is there a prize for being top girl or top boy? Is there a prize for being the most improved dancer? No, no and no! There is only the $100,000 prize for the winner and that’s probably worth about $56,000 after taxes.

    Nigel must be so concerned about making SYTYCD-UK successful that he’s given up on the US after-show market. I think he’s letting his dancers and audience down.

    THERE’S NO TOUR THIS YEAR? Gerrit, that’s what I’ve been hoping for-a tour with these contestants (ahem…alex), and getting to see the awesome all-stars live.

    @lifesabeach (andthenyoudive)- I haven’t heard anything about a tour, have you?

    You’d think that since the last tour was canceled, they’d be promoting the heck out of a tour this year but all I hear about is a National NappyTabs/DizzyFeet Dance Day on July 30th.

    Maybe that’s meant to replace the tour – (sarcasm – emphasis on the chasm).

    If anyone has heard about SYTYCD touring this year, please fill us in on the deets.

    I have to say — I was actually hoping Robert would go home. But of course, if not him then Melinda.

    Not only is Robert annoying as all heck, but I still don’t see him brinigng anything special to the table. He’s a good dancer. I’m not denying that. But he doesn’t have that “it” factor for me that would make him interesting to watch (while ignoring every moment he was talking, walking, and generally not dancing). Also, while I think Christina and Melinda are definitely the two weakest girls, I thought Christina actually upped her game last night. It wasn’t Anya- or Heidi-level fabulousness, but she upped it. Melinda sucked in her solo as usual. Robert’s solo just bored me. Like I said — nothing special.

    And besides, I’m still pissed that Robert got picked over Anthony (yep, still bitter). I don’t think it’s totally clouding my judgement about him though. But like you said, PM — Anthony + Anya + Tango = AWESOME!

    I’m sure that Mia was at least partly behind the saving of Robert as well as Melinda. More reasons for me to hate her…although I will admit, I’ll take Mia over Mary any day! (It’s so nice and quiet without Mary *sigh*) and she actually sometimes gives quality critiques.

    I’m rooting for Adechike to stick it out at least one more week. Not to play the ethnic card, but I noticed that like last year the ethnic minorities are leaving first this season…also, I think Adechike has the potentially to be a much more interesting dancer than Robert if he’s given the right material…

    Oh, and while I had no idea who the performer was this week, I loved that they had the All-stars dancing backup — that made it worth watching! Hope they keep doing that.

    Gerrit Verstoep: I know! And LOL at Horseyface! Love it.

    Mo: I think some of that adorkableness is real, but I also think he works it as well. It’s helping him right now, but it’s getting old. FAST.

    rubberduck1810: LOL! I love it when people get as frustrated and passionate about this show as I do. And if that rumor is true about RemoteKontrol, I may just have to watch to see them!

    georgiababe: I’ve actually gotten to a place where I’m okay with the fact that Anthony is not on this season. I really do believe that he’ll do better in a season without Alex and Billy and Kent. That said, he BETTER come back next year because I need to see more of that hunka hunka man dancing!

    brzysmom: Welcome! I completely agree with your theory because it’s very similar to my own. Hopefully he will come back next year and tear that stage up.

    Mo(li): I hadn’t actually thought of that, but it’s a good theory too.

    georgiababe: Yeah, it IS cutting it close. But I think he didn’t fit in with the Alex/Billy battle they were hoping for, and so, he didn’t make it. If he doesn’t make it on next season, I will lose my shit.

    Snootchy Bootches: Ha! There IS a resemblance – I never noticed.

    Gerrit Verstoep: I’m surprised we haven’t heard anything yet about a tour, but then again, Nigel’s so focused on his Dance Day right now, there could still be a tour planned and we’re just not hearing about it yet. They usually don’t hype it until top ten, but we started there, so it’s a little confusing as to how that would work this year.

    Lizbot: I completely agree about Robert. I’d like him to get the boot sooner rather than later. And I’m also hoping they continue to use the all stars as backups to the musical guests; at least it makes it bearable to watch.

    Thanks again for all your great comments! And if anyone finds out any information about the tour, please let us all know!

    SWAK, PottyMouth

    HAHAHAHAHA! I just made it to “Don’t criticize our critiques!” and I’m about to pee myself!! Hypocrisy anyone? :) I also loved your Baby Jesus captions.

    Okay, re: the neon donuts…well, I looked at them and saw pasties…as in stripper pasties. See how I think?
