Let's try a poll this time around.

6/18 - Top 18 Perform - 2 hrs (8/7c)

6/19 - Top 18 Results Show - 1 hr (9/8c)

Ranger

Hope it is a good show.

Think this is accurate from Monday's taping:

And this is the list from LAST WEEK:

Rayven Armijo & Jamie Bayard - Hip Hop
Susie Garcia & Marquis Cunningham - Waltz
Kourtni Lind & Matt Dorame - Jazz
Chelsea Traille & Chris Jarosz - Cha Cha
Chelsie Hightower & Mark Kanemura - Contemporary
Kherington Payne & Twitch - Broadway
Comfort Fedoke & Thayne Jasperson - Jive
Katee Shean & Joshua Allen - Hip Hop
Jessica King & William Wingfield - Tango
Courtney Galiano & Gev Manoukian - Disco

First couple was sent home. All that should be in order to help people get the names right.

matta

They're switching partners now? I thought they got down to the Top 10 before they did that.

Ranger

Ha. Maybe a couple names were wrong.

Edit: Yeah, for Week 1:
Chelsea T-Thayne
Comfort-Chris

magiccmom

Considering Susie's Flamenco backround, this should be a good week for her.

Timber

Will is clearly the most talented dancer here and unlike Danny from last season who was the most talented he doesn't come off like an ass. I do think the judges should go easy on the praise though as I think it will quickly turn people off.

magiccmom

Yeah, I was wrong about that one. My bottom three this week was Susie and Marquis (but I do think it was his weak partnering skills that doomed her) Comfort and Chris (she should have been killing it and she wasnt, but it was really too soft to be krumping) and i guess I'll go with Thayne and Chelsea. They werent bad but I really enjoyed the other numbers a whole lot better. Top 3 for me were Twitch and Kerrington, Gev and Courtney (both those numbers really connected to me) and Joshua and Katee (full out fun, I think Joshua is amazing). I enjoyed Chelsea H. and Mark's Argentine Tango. The footwork and kicks were amazing, and I thought he was really good. I like Will but Jessica doesnt do it for me.

Judges were really bizarre to me tonight. Is Mia trying to be cute with her "Mia-isms"?

zuffy

Mia is so fucking annoying tonight. Her bullshit comment about Kerrington smiling too much, her praising of all the choreographies. She has her favorites and it's that simple.

Zee

It's all about Katee and Joshua for me. All of the others are good but not nearly as interesting to watch. And I agreed with Mia about Kerrington not needing to smile for the entiiiire routine. She is a gorgeous girl and a gorgeous dancer, but Nigel needs to calm down a little bit about her looks. It's not a beauty pageant.

das Monkey

I'm in love with Jessica, but that hip-hop routine was pretty terrible.

Mandy Moore again brings the crappy choreography.

at Nigel pointing out how Gev is completely ga-ga over Courtney.

Patman

Nigel had me LOL at how weak Chris's krump was during his and Comfort's routine. That crotch grab by Nigel had me rolling.

Ranking from tonight's favorite numbers to least favorite numbers:

Joshua & Katee - Very fun, energetic routine, they are very compatible dancers.

Twitchington - Graceful and goosebump-inducing number. Keep smiling Kherington, F Mia Michaels and her mis-interpretation of the dance.

Mark & Chelsie - Nailed the flavor of their tango, and danced well together.

Gev & Courtney - Very solid emotional number. Courtney is really cute.

William & Jessica - Not my cup of tea, and William doesn't really excite me with his movies, and Jessica just trying to keep up with William.

Thayne & Chelsea - Badly executed concept, and looked very awkward and stilted.

Matt & Kourtni - Ill-suited big dancers, solid in short spurts, but boring in stretches.

Chris & Comfort - Don't care for Krumping, and this number didn't win me over toward either dancers.

Marquis & Susie - A real messy salsa, with Marquis trying to over-selling it, and Susie was not sharp at all, just really sloppy at times.

mnementh

Aha, so I'm not imagining things.

mnementh

Will Katee be a serious threat in the top 10? Although Katee and Joshua seem to be the couple to beat, I feel that Joshua's the stronger dancer in the couple.

Doug Heffernan

Great to see Mia backpedal a bit, she obviously has an issue with "pretty" girls. I didn't even notice she was smiling the whole time because the dance was so good.

DWilson

I've noticed the show has made a point of announcing on the Wednesday show that the "Results" show would feature an opening number by one of the choreographers that the messgae board "buzz" said would not be doing the show this year, -Wade Robson last week, and Shane Sparks this week.

Shilex

What kind of bugs me about this show is that the judges are hesistant to criticize the choreography.

I understand there is a relationship there, but sometimes they have horrible routines that is unfairly put on the dancers. Who knows how they taught them to do the routine in the first place. Even the best dancers can't escape a bad routine.

Timber

Yeah, they always preface there negative remarks with positive reviews of the choreography. The Thayne/Chelsea number was horrible and a lot of that rested on Mandy Moore but they didn't criticize that aspect. I certainly understand it though as it doesn't make any sense to alienate the choreographers.

Ranger

The judges' comments just went on and on. Ack.

It was a so-so show. Katee and Josh started out very good but seemed to run out of fancy moves towrd the end. The judges got carried away praising them.

Courtney is very cute. We all agree.

I liked the argentine tango, foxtrot, contemporary, and boradway. The rest were meh.

Bottom 3 SHOULD be:
Susie and Marquis
Comfort and Chris
Thayne and Chelsea.

BUT I think it'll be Jessica and Matt being sent home. The judges don't seem to like them. Will and Kourtni would be a good partnership.

I laughed when Nigel said the viennese waltz was more like a French-Canadian waltz. Still kind of a cheap shot.

Tanaraq

Now this is a real French-Canadian Waltz...

Couldn't resist. It's an old CBC classic.

Zee

I'm not sure how Katee will do in later rounds, but she and Chelsie Hightower my personal favorites of the girls so far. I like K's athleticism and her technique is really strong. Plus, she seems like a genuinely sweet girl. I agree that Joshua definitely stood out more in this week's routine, though.

clckworang

I hate to agree with Mia, but I also was slightly annoyed with the constant smiling from Kherington. It just didn't seem to match the routine.

And while I do think they were overly nice to the choreographers last night, I remember them saying some harsh things last season. They all hated that kinda space-age routine with the goggles that Mia cooked up last season, and they all basically said the reason they didn't like it was because they just didn't like the routine.

magiccmom

I think Comfort or Susie should be sent packing. If you can rock your specialty you dont deserve to be there. And I know Susie's specialty is flamenco, but she didnt even bring the flava to her dance.

Timber

Krumping isn't Comfort's specialty. Even though it was an extra soft krump that looked more like hip hop.

magiccmom

That opening numbers was one of the all time best I have ever seen on this show! It was fantastic!!!!!

Ranger

America got the bottom 3 right.

But it was Comfort who really should have been sent home. It was cruel for Nigel to call Susie up then push her back.
