<p>I’ve really enjoyed almost all the dances this year… a very strong group, especially the girls. I thought Jade was likely the boy to go home this week. Then probably Blueprint if he doesn’t step it up. </p>
<p>As much as Nigel annoys me, he is correct that at the end of the competition personality tends to win out over technique. (Not my vote, though! Then again, I never actually vote so who am I to complain?)</p>
<p>Loved seeing Marko. Such a joy to watch, even when he seemed to dial it back to showcase Malese. Can’t wait for the all-star pairing. When do they start that? Top ten?</p>
<p>Edit to add that I can only watch this on the DVR. I have to fast-forward to avoid Mary’s screeching (she will be getting a bill from my audiologist) and cringingly inappropriate comments from Nigel. Also easily cuts the two hour show down to one hour.</p>
<p>I am enjoying Tucker as well. I think it fascinates me that he is SO TALL and yet so graceful. He was the same height as Cat in her giant heels!!!</p>
<p>I can not believe Jasmine Mason was in the bottom of the pack and went home last night. Thank you Sean Cheesman for “cheesy” choreography on Tuesday resulting in her sub-par performance. Last week Makenzie was undeservedly in the bottom group of ladies but survived. I don’t get how B-girl blond (Mariah?) has survived. Don’t think she is anything special.</p>
<p>VaBluebird, how fun!! I think Nico has the wrong partner and is a great dancer who really hasn’t shown his stuff yet!
Like everybody, probably, I love Amy and Mackenzie and I really love Tucker. I love Curtis’ personality, but his weaknesses are starting to show.</p>
<p>I thought the wrong guy went home…thought the solo of the guy with the cape was pretty lame while Blue-print’s was stunning to me. And I agree: Carly was pretty ridiculous. She had nothing useful to add at all, IMO.</p>
<p>Once dancer that has started to truly stand out for me, in addition to Amy and Fik-shun, is
Jasmine Harper. The piece (quick step) she did on the show last night was pure delight!</p>
<p>And somehow, this opening number did not really appeal to me much. I have only seen it once, though, so that could change.</p>
<p>I think cape guy will probably be the next boy to go, or maybe Curtis. I think Alexis should probably be the next girl to go, but she apparently has lots of fans. I think the judges will save Mackenzie as long as they are able. I really like Tucker, too.</p>
<p>Not loving the celebrity judge format this season. Most simply don’t measure up and it results in a “2-dimensional” judging panel of Nigel and Mary.</p>
<p>I have the shortest memory in the world and can’t even remember who will be partnered together after tonight’s departure. Please remind me. </p>
<p>I can’t imagine Curtis being able to do those lifts in that tango. No wonder he hurt himself.<br>
I agree with Nigel that Amy and Fikshun seem to get the same type of “characters” in their dances each week. I still love them, but it will be interesting to see them do something more serious. </p>
<p>I like all the remaining girls; it will tough to choose one to eliminate in the coming weeks. There are still a few boys that have not really made me pay attention, but that’s good, too, because that means they have not stood out in a bad way either.</p>
<p>I loved the show tonight. I haven’t been a big Jasmine fan, but her number was really fun. So was Amy’s disco. Well, they were all great! The only one I didn’t love was Haley, who seemed just so-so compared to the rest. </p>
<p>I’ve said before that I think MacKenzie was the best dancer on the show. There’s something about her that didn’t connect emotionally with viewers. She has a cool, mature beauty which I guess doesn’t play as well on TV as cute, bubbly beauty. I dunno. But she was stunning in her number tonight.</p>
<p>So glad to see Robert on stage again. He’s my all-time favorite SYTYCD-er.</p>
<p>I loved seeing Melanie again and thought she and Fick-shun were perfect together. I love Debbie Allen!! I kept expecting her to say “You want fame? Fame costs. And right here is where you start to pay. In sweat.”</p>
<p>The dancing on the show tonight was uniformly amazing (do those words even go together??). I agree with the poster above that talked about all-star Catherine. She is breathtakingly beautiful. Jasmine is moving up there on my list!!</p>
<p>I am disappointed that MacKenzie went home and just don’t get the Jenna love. She is my least favorite.</p>
<p>I loved the all-stars and agree that Catherine is a beautiful girl and beautiful dancer. I didn’t even notice FikShun. Was he on the stage with Melanie? I couldn’t take my eyes off of her!</p>
<p>I had recorded it, so I went back with some of the numbers and allowed myself to only watch the all stars (e.g. Melanie, Kathryn, Twitch, Jakob). Robert looks so much more mature now - I thought he was too big of a goofball his season.</p>
<p>Has there been an African American female winner? I think Jasmine may just do it.</p>
