Posted in: Featured, Recaps, So You Think You Can Dance

I knew it.  I knew the decision to send no one home last week would end up pissing me off this week.  If I had a dick I would tell Nigel to suck it.  God, he pisses me off and the fact that he refuses to even entertain the fact that what he did was complete bullshit and fucked up is making me even madder.

SYTYCD20110623aJust found the perfect Christmas gift for him.

Well, bitching about what an asshole Nigel is isn’t going to get this recap written, so I guess we should get started on the show, huh?

As always, we start with a group number.

SYTYCD20110623b

SYTYCD20110623c

I am not a fan of this number.  I appreciate that it was a different sort of concept, but I thought it was really boring.  At first I was thinking it was maybe done by Stacy or maybe even Sir BitchyPants, but when Cat comes out she tells us it was choreographed by Dave Scott.

SYTYCD20110623dSorry Dave, this one was a miss for me.

Cat reminds us that tonight four dancers will be going home.  She wants us to feel sorry for the judges because they will have some tough choices ahead of them, but they created this mess (not Debbie, she’s excluded here) and so they can suck it up and deal with the consequences of last week’s actions.

Cat wants to know if Debbie’s happy to be here, is she having a good time?

SYTYCD20110623e

Cat wants to get right into the results, knowing she’ll need extra time later when we have to say good bye to four dancers.  Let’s bring out the first group.

SYTYCD20110623f

So, in this group I think the no brainer is that Missy and Wadi will be in the bottom and everyone else will be safe, but we all k now that the voters like to throw us all a curve ball sometimes.  Cat starts out with Missy and Wadi and for a minute I think my no brainer guess is wrong, but…….

SYTYCD20110623gBottom.

I’m fine with that considering the terrible Cha Cha they performed last night.  With these two in the bottom, Caitlynn and Mitchell and Sasha and Alexander are all safe.  I’m also fine with that because even though neither of their dances blew me away, they weren’t terrible either.

Plus Caitlynn has to be given some points for taking one to the face and not missing a beat.

SYTYCD20110623hPoor thing still has a mark on her nose.

After this set of results we take a quick break and then, instead of moving on to more results, Cat wants Nigel to tell us all what the dancers are competing for.  Uh, I think we know that by now Cat!  Oh.  Wait.  It’s the Gatorade thing again.  So I guess we’re really still in a commercial break.

SYTYCD20110623iGatorade gives me a boner.

Well, really the money they’re spending on a corporate sponsorship is giving him a boner.  Now I’ve spent too much time talking about Nigel’s boner.  I think I’m going to be sick.

Anyway, Nigel waxes poetic about the sports drink for a while and talk about how Lauren has been in their ad campaign and the next winner will as well.  As part of their support for the show, Gatorade is providing the dancers with nutrition advice.

SYTYCD20110623jDon’t eat this junk

SYTYCD20110623kBuy this junk instead

Seriously?  That lady just lectured them on fucking Ritz crackers?  These kids dance for how many hours a day?  I think they can eat some stinking crackers if they want some.  Shut it, Gatorlady!

Time for more results.

SYTYCD20110623l

Well, there are two couples I’d like to see from this group in the bottom, but they both did pretty well last night.  Ugh, I just KNOW Woobert is going to be safe and that mother fucker should have already been sent home!

SYTYCD20110623mTold ya!

Melanie and Marko are also safe and I’m glad because I still love them even though I did not like their dance last night at all.

So now we’re left with Stripperella and Tadd and Iveta and Nick in this group.  I’m hoping Stripperella is in the bottom because she irritates me and I think Tadd could pull it out for himself if he’s in the bottom.  But they danced better than Nick and Iveta, so I’m a little worried here.

SYTYCD20110623nWith good reason it would seem.

Plthft.  Not happy.

Time for the last three couples to find out their fate.

SYTYCD20110623o

Gawd.  Really any of these three couples could be in the bottom and I wouldn’t care too much.  I’m not all that fond of any of them, and a couple are annoying as hell.

Cat tells Chris and Ashley they’re safe first, and again, I didn’t hate their routine so I’m not annoyed about it.  I still think they’re one of the weakest couples here, but I guess they lucked out this week.  Let’s hope this doesn’t turn into a trend.

So it will be between Jess and Clarice and Ryan and Ricky.  Both have one dancer that many people find to be really irritating.  But which one is the irritatingest of all?

SYTYCD20110623p

Next time she should try to avoid using her sexy look.

SYTYCD20110623qI tried to give her lessons, but it didn’t help at all.

Oh Cat, you can’t do everything!

Before we get to the solos, it’s time for our first musical guest of the evening.  Rage Crew will be performing; you might remember them since they’ve performed here before…..remember?  They’re all kids and teenagers?

SYTYCD20110623r

SYTYCD20110623s

I have a friend that was losing her mind over the makeup and outfits worn by the girls.  For me, I guess I’m a little desensitized from stuff I’ve seen at competition.  I mean, really, the makeup these girls wore was less than most dance teams I’ve seen at competition, and sadly, their costumes had more to them than a lot I have seen as well.

As far as the dancing, I thought they did a good job; I especially loved the little girl in the front; she was killing it.  As always, I enjoy the dance performances much MUCH more than the lip syncing that’s ever-present on the results shows.

Now let’s get to the solos.  Up first is Wadi.

SYTYCD20110623t

I liked Wadi a lot, but he totally missed his opportunity here.  I mean, we’ve had b-boys on the show before and they’ve done some really kick ass solos.  This one was not kick ass.  It wasn’t even kick ankle.  Unless the other two guys bone it really badly, I’m thinking he’s going to get the boot.

Up next, Missy.

SYTYCD20110623u

Eh.  She did better than her partner, but I wasn’t blown away by this solo.  She’s a good dancer, but I’m not going to be crying if she goes either.

Let’s move on now to Nick.

SYTYCD20110623v

I like this kid a lot.  That said, I thought his solo started out a little slow and when you only have thirty seconds, you can’t really be wasting any time, you know?  I have my usually complaint about the liking of tap on this show, but I thought he did a good job once he got going and I’m really hoping that he will stick around for a while.

Let’s see what Iveta’s got!

SYTYCD20110623w

Ballroom solos are always so hard.  I don’t really care for them, but then that genre is meant to be performed with a pair, not with a single dancer.  I like Iveta, but I’m not sure she has the versatility that you need for this show.  I guess right now I’m hoping that Nick and Missy get paired together.

Now it’s Ricky’s turn.

SYTYCD20110623x

This kid is a really great dancer.  He’s got great lines and elevation, but is stuck with a crappy partner.  And this is the moment that I start to get pissed off all over again about last week’s decision to keep everyone.

Deep breaths.  Only one more solo to go.  It’s Ryan.

SYTYCD20110623y

What would a dance for your life be without a crotch shot form one of the girls?  Ugh.  I did not like her solo at all.  I also don’t like her too much.  Of the three girls in the bottom she’s the one I most want to go home.

Cat sends the judges backstage to deliberate, and now it’s time for another musical guest.  This time around we’re getting dancing and lip syncing combined.  It’s LMFAO with Quest Crew!

SYTYCD20110623z

SYTYCD20110623aa

Is it just me or are these guys like the poor man’s Black Eyed Peas?  That performance was cheesy as hell and the only thing that kept me from leaving the room was the fact that Quest was dancing with them.  In fact, this is the same song that Quest danced to for the finale of ABDC, but the band wasn’t there which made that performance EVEN BETTER.

And what was the deal with the guy with the painted cardboard box over his head?  What was that supposed to be?  If we go with the theory that they are trying to be the new Black eyed Peas, could that be a rip off of that performance they did with the boom box heads?  Do you guys remember that?

Anyway, we take another short break and then we’re back for the girls’ results.  Nigel tells Cat that only have they made a decision this time around, this week they are unanimous.  He first asks Missy to step forward.

SYTYCD20110623ab

He tells her he doesn’t see anything in her dancing that he can fault.  He thinks she had a problem last night with the Cha Cha; not just with the style, but with her partner as well.  Whatever.  She had issues in that dance as well even though the judges praised her for it.

Next he calls Iveta forward.

SYTYCD20110623acShe looks like she wants to spit on him, doesn’t she?

He tells her that she has graced the show with her talent and he thinks that whatever happens tonight, we will always remember the routine she did with Pasha on the Meet the Top Twenty show.  He thinks that was absolutely sensational.  He’s happy she’s fought to be on this show and she certainly deserves to be here.

Ryan, step forward.

SYTYCD20110623ad

Nigel chastises her, saying he doesn’t think the dancing she showed in her solo tonight was as good as she can do.  He believes there’s even more inside her yet that they haven’t seen.  If she’s still on the show she’s going to have to bring it.

The person they’ve decided to keep on the show this week is Ryan.

WHAAAAAAATTTTT???????? Are you fucking kidding me?  Did he not just say her solo sucked?  Didn’t that used to be automatic grounds for dismissal?

SYTYCD20110623aeOh man, Hugh.  I am right there with ya.

Ugh.  I am so freaking pissed off right now.  I was going to go down the road of connections to the show and all that horseshit, but honestly, I just can’t even do it right now.  I’m so riled up about this I can’t even take it.  It would be one thing if the judges thought she did the best tonight even though we all know she didn’t, but to say her solo was crap and then keep her anyway?  POPPYCOCK!!!!!

We see their double combined farewell reels and then Cat asks Iveta if she’s glad she tried and tried to be here.  Yes.  Did she have fun?  Yes.  Would you like to kick Nigel in the balls?

SYTYCD20110623afYes.

She then asks Missy what the best bit for her was, and like many dancers before her she says the other dancers.

Now it’s time for the guy’s results.  Nigel asks Wadi to step forward first.

SYTYCD20110623ag

Nigel doesn’t really think he’s been given time yet to show what he can really do, getting the Cha Cha didn’t do him any favors.  But he doesn’t think he showed his best tonight.  Which I guess gives him a really good chance of staying.

Nick’s turn.

SYTYCD20110623ah

He tells him that he is fortunate because there are two tap dancers on the panel tonight.  They believe he is going to be a star.  They think he is absolutely tremendous.

Ricky, step forward.

SYTYCD20110623ai

Nigel doesn’t think they’ve ever seen him dance better than he did in his dance for your life.  He says they call it dance for your life for a reason; they expect the dancers to pull everything out of it that they can (except for Ryan, I guess).  He laid himself out there tonight; he was brilliant.  That is why they are keeping him on the show.

Which means it’s the end of the road for Wadi and Nick.  I’m less annoyed about this even though I had really hoped to see Nick go far in this competition because Ricky actually DID kick ass in his solo.

SYTYCD20110623aj

We get Nick and Wadi’s good bye packages and then Wadi spends almost all the rest of the time talking which irritates me because it basically leaves Nick with about three seconds to talk.  He uses that three seconds to tell the other dancers that he loves them and they are his family.  Awwwww…..now I’m teary eyed.

And that’s the show, Gasmi.  I’m really pissed at Nigel right now.  First because there were people that absolutely SHOULD HAVE gone home last week and if that had happened there would not be an extra two people leaving from this group this week.  Also, keeping Ryan was CRAP.  It smacks of favoritism and I hate when he does shit like this. GRRRRRRR.

What did you think, Gasmi?  Are you as annoyed as I am about all of this?  Were any of you glad to see Ryan stay?  Are you related to her if you answered yes?  Are you sad to see Nick go?  Iveta?  What about Wadi and Missy?

I am knee deep in dance drama right now in the middle of nationals so maybe I’m being overly sensitive about these results.  I can’t wait to hear what you all think.

    i literally screamed when they kept ryan. i don’t think iveta was going to make it that far anyway, but nick is my favorite and ryan my least favorite, so that just adds insult to injury. both woobert and jess should have been gone LONG before jess. as i read on another post, they should have had a bottom six including the bottom three from last week and picked two from that.

    I am so excruciatingly tired of the hyper-extended legs in the air. Yes, we see your crotches, “ladies”. Now, can you do any other dance moves or is that all you’ve got?

    Someone’s got to say this…Ryan’s got slowface. I’m just sayin’.

    I am SOOOOO irritated that they didn’t kick Striperella and WooBoy off last week (as they should have,) because it means that this week Iveta and Nick got screwed.

    And Nigel is a liar. He “chastised” Mia’s Pet Rachel for her less than stellar dance during “dance for your life,” but kept her anyway, and then kept Ricky because Nigel claimed his dance was so fantastic. But then they ran a goodbye edit that alternated between the two eliminated contestants….which tells me they had it prepared IN ADVANCE. (Unless we’re supposed to believe they prepped a two-person edit for every concievable configuration.)

    What a bunch of crap. Now ALL the girls are contemporary. And why didn’t anyone on the panel point out that Ryan landed in the bottom three after performing in what is supposed to be her area of expertise?

    And I agree with Enrique’s Mole on the hyper-extension. When I took dance lessons (for fourteen years) we were told hyper-extending ruined the lines, and it was bad and ugly. So is raising your hip (turning it out instead of keeping it parallel to the floor) to get a higher arabesque.

    Not every conceivable configuration, but the editors who prepare those packages likely knew who the bottom three couples were so they’d be able to prepare the goodbye packages. If they had the clips queued up for each of the six dancers it probably wasn’t all that much work to create the three pieces they’d need. Then it’s just a matter of running A, B, or C when the results are announced.

    I’m surprised Dave Scott actually used “Sinner Man” of all songs for that piece. I guess he was going for an abrasive element where the movement was in direct contrast to the urgency of the music, but…Alvin Ailey choreographed a sublime piece to “Sinner Man” that I can’t believe anyone would want to be compared to it. Maybe Scott isn’t familiar with Ailey’s “Revelations” but, really, everything pales by comparison because “Sinner Man” is the marquee piece of Ailey’s most famous work.

    And good news for anyone who likes Nick. Jason Alexander (yes, THAT Jason Alexander) is a fan and tweeted him after he got the boot that if he can sing as well as dance that there will be a place available for him with Alexander’s Reprise Theater Company whenever he comes to NYC. And with someone like Jason Alexander as his champion, Nick’s going to do well for himself. I’ll miss him on the show, but talk about making lemonade out of lemons. Really, only Nigel and the show are losers in that scenario. Nick’s going to be more than fine.

    Ricky earned the save, though.

    vallegirl…I meant every configuration for the three in the bottom. Having worked in editing, getting a decent edit timed correctly is a lot of work…and it is highly unlikely they prepped all the versions. You know Nigel never had any intention of booting Ryan, and as lackadaisical as she was in her “dancer for her life,” she apparently KNOWS she can coast.

    My problem with this decision was the same as cattyfan: Nigel basicaly saying that dance for your life doesn’t mean s*** when they saved Ryan and saving Ricky because he did the best solo. Consistency, hello? Based on the solos, Iveta (even though she probably isn’t versatile enough) and Ricky should had stayed.

    Also, on American Idol, when they don’t send anyone home, they add the votes from the week before in the next result. I don’t know if it was the case on SYTYCD (Nigel certainly didn’t mention), but if it wasn’t that’s bulls***. Everyone who voted last week basically threw away money for nothing.

    I’m not saying he had any intentions of doing anything, I just don’t see everything as a SYTYCD/Illuminati/Bilderberg conspiracy to get the results Nigel wants. I think the editing team, which was likely more than one editor, could put together six 30-second packages in the time available to them.

    I thought the same way as cattyfan until they got the end with the two dancers going home posed together. They had to have posed the 6 configurations of male and female dancers together like that just in case, otherwise, the dancers would have known who was going home, too. So I think it’s entirely likely they made six 30-second packages and then just played the right one…with the pose at the end of the two dancers together.

    My sister pointed out that the Sinner Man routine was an homage to The Thomas Crown Affair. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Qie9icuHp-Y I thought that movie was kinda boring so I didn’t notice. But I actually liked that routine okay and I thought LMFAO was fun. I definitely was one of the ones freaking out about those tiny girls in their “sexy,” barely-there tops. I don’t care if it’s common or other people do worse, making little girls’ bodies into sexual objects is disturbing. Okay, now that I got my rant out…

    This results show definitely definitely sucked. I agree that something should have been done to account for the voting last week – either in expanding how many couples were in the bottom, or adding in last week’s votes, or something. I really liked all four people that left, and definitely think someone from the bottom last week deserved to go, instead of them all being safe this week, making last week’s voting utterly pointless.

    So I think this might be the first time that I’ve been as pissed or even more pissed than PM about results. I was pissed that Ryan stayed over Iveta even though Ryan’s solo SUCKED. But I was even more pissed that Ricky stayed over Nick.

    Even though Ricky’s solo was a little better than Nick’s, Nick seriously had WAYYY more potential to do well in other genres. He just got screwed by his two duet styles and not being able to show his contemporary skills. He also got screwed by last week’s results with Nigel decided to screw America and keep everyone when he clearly should have eliminated Robert and Jordan. Along with that, how were Jess and Clarice not in the bottom?? They were horrible in their duet. If they had been, I’m sure Wadi and Jess would have left and Nick stayed.

    About Ryan leaving, I basically agree with everybody else. Her solo sucked and Nigel’s only keeping her because she’s the most marketable and she was Mia’s assistant. I sooo hope that Ricky and her end up in the bottom soon so she can get the boot. Probably not because Nigel is going to save her again and again.

    And the only good thing about LMFAO is that they’re giving Quest an even bigger spotlight to showcase their dancing. They’re amazing!! As always, LOVE them.

    In the post-show interviews, Nigel and Mary both said that they had planned to save Nick and Iveta before the solos (they know the results before the show). But after Ricky blew them away with his solo, they had to keep him. I can get that a little (even though I’m not happy about it). What I don’t get is that they suddenly saw the potential that Ryan had, even with a crappy solo. I don’t know if I’m happy that they had first thought to save Iveta or more pissed that even after the solos, they chose to save Ryan. I just hope she sucks. Iveta’s already a World Champion which is more than Ryan will ever be so I’m happy about that.

    And Nick can sing and dance, and I really hope that he finds success with Jason Alexander in NY. He’s absolutely amazing and he just got screwed by everything. He tweeted that he’s in NY for a week and half so hopefully he’s starting his Broadway career! He’s too talented and nice not to find success away from Nigel’s plans. Nigel just kicked off all the diversity that he said he strives so hard to bring onto the show. All we have is contemporary and hip-hop, with one Broadway guy who seriously needs to leave. SOON.

    I thought this season might be one of the best, but with Nick and Iveta gone, and Nigel screwing with America’s results, it’s going downhill FAST. Hopefully Marko, Melanie, and Tadd can save it for me! They’re the only reasons I’ll be watching (except with Tadd, I have to get Jordan, yuck).

    Love your recaps PM! They made these results just a bit better. They’ll be another reason I finish watching this season

    Posted June 28, 2011 at 4:36 pm

    I don’t understand their decision to keep Ryan either, I would have kept Missy. I do have a theory though that would explain their decision. It’s possible that Nigel reads your recaps PM, and he’s decided to give you the big FU, middle finger. As a precaution I’d suggest you refrain from declaring your favorites from this point forward, or they might start leaving in droves, lol.

    Since I’m dipping into conspiracy theory waters, here’s my completely irrelevant tangent for the day. If the producers are so concerned about falling ratings that they feel the need to change formats every season, why don’t they look to when the ratings really started to nosedive? That would be about the same time they switched to the new stage (no I won’t let it rest). It really is that simple. This can be proven if we look at the details more closely. A closer analysis of (s)hitty (s)tage gives us SS – which is as synonymous with the Nazi regime as (u)ther (s)tage is to the US, the land of the free. From this we can be fairly certain that the producers are fascists who hate democracy. And what do fascists do? That’s right, they put restrictions on entertainment to better control the public (i.e., they’re restricting our entertainment by giving us a shitty stage). The evidence is irrefutable, and I for one won’t stand for it. I’ll finish this post later, someone’s knocking at the door…

    My favorite guys, knocked down in one fell swoop. Nigel, you are DEAD to me. DEAD. I KNEW this would happen. I KNEW they would keep stupid Ryan. They won’t kick her off until she’s top 10 I bet and by that time, wham bam no thanks ma’am, the public will kick her out.

    I am so annoyed that Woobert didn’t go home last week, he deserved it. NICK WAS SO GOOD. And, NOT ONLY THAT, but Nigel just TOOK AWAY THE ONLY GOOD TAPPER THIS SHOW’S EVER HAD. So much for a tap duet…

    Melanie better win or I will find Nigel and punch him in the face. I think I am going to do some angry tweeting right now…

    I didn’t catch the results show this week, but I was PISSED when I found out about the eliminations (and who the kept). But then I realized that I really should not expect anything more from Nigel. He manages to piss me — and apparently a lot of people — off every year within the first couple of weeks with his bs eliminations.

    I know Woobert will make it to top 6 because the contestant who irritates me the most always makes it to top 6/top 3 without fail. Damn that Nigel. Why do I let him get to me every damn season? *sigh*

    Enrique’s Mole/ohhhyeah – You are not alone! I too HATE that stage. I still think it looks like a giant pumpkin. It is far less versatile (remember when people used to be on the edges of the stage, or on the small or bit sets of stairs, or the platforms up top? (Wade’s zombie dance, anyone?) and having lit walls and a backdrop is totally distracting. The other stage was just bare, nothing fancy, so you could focus on the dancing and they weren’t overpowered by effects. Even a regular theatre stage (while still not as versatile) just with black curtains would have been better, I HATE this one.

    Also, Nigel’s a little bitch on his Twitter, have you noticed. Somebody asked him why he kept everybody last week and he got all bitchy about how that person must not love dance like he does. What a tool.

    I think I might start harassing him about the stage…

    Ok so personally I was a Nick fan, but am I the only one who noticed the judges basically gave Wadi and Ryan the exact same speech, but sent Wadi home and kept her? I mean that really shows the favoritism towards Ryan, they could at least be consistent with giving the two contestants who had the worst solos but the most “potential” the boot.

    Ricky did deserve to stay, but poor Wadi wasn’t Mia’s pet so he got the same shtick as Ryan but got the boot. Ugh. This season may have the “best dancing we’ve seen so far!” but most of the dances and choreo have been boring and crappy.

    Nigel keeps yapping about bringing on tap dancers and ballroom dancers as part of a diverse cast, but the tappers always go home the earliest. I also couldn’t understand why there was only one ballroom dancer (Iveta) instead of at least 2-3 like before. Now that she’s gone, there are just contemporary girls left. Ryan should have been gone, but since she has the Mia Michaels connection, she’ll be on for awhile. I do not think she’s that good compared to some of the other girls like Melanie. And I found her posturing and smiling while doing her performances to be amateurish and awful.
    Ultimately, the semi-finalists will be contemporary dancers, as usual.
    And I find the judges extremely boring. Too much of a lovefest, not enough constructive criticism about the dancing.
