SYTYCD Spoilers for 7/26?
July 24th, 2006 under SYTYCD. [ Comments: none ]

Little birdie! Little birdie!(Is this late? Does everyone know this already?)

SPOILERS:
Travis and Donyelle – Hip Hop and Quickstep
Ivan and Allison – Tango and Hip Hop
Ryan and Natalie – Disco and Contemporary
Benji and Heidi – Broadway and Mambo

 

Okay I’m going to do a full report. I’ll try to remember everything.

So first up was Travis and Donyelle.

They did a super cool hip hop routine to Fergie’s new song London Bridge. It was choreagraphed by Shane Sparks..which was dissapointing because my friend and I went to the show JUST for Wade and he wasn’t there. Basically they had two masks on, one in the front and one in the back. I thought the concept was awesome…and The masks weren’t a distraction…I think it was incredibly entertaining to watch ur senses jump out the window…when you can’t really tell between the front and the back.. I LOVED IT.
Nigel – He didn’t like the masks and said that it took away from the performance because the audience won’t be able to connect. He also said it would be hard for America to understand that choreagraphy.Mary Murphy – She loved it. She loved the choreagraphy the concept and the dancers. SHe said it was hot.Dan – Agreed with Nigel about the masks but said it was good. It wasn’t as good as it COULD have been but he was happy with it and thought it was a hot performance.

Next was Allison and Ivan doing doing an Argentine Tango by Alex De Silva (C’mon? argentine again?)
Nigel – Thought that the chemistry was great…was happy to see them together again and liked it.Mary – Commented on how difficult it is to get the feet whipping down…Saying that one wrong whip could turn Ivan from a rooster into a hen. She liked it. Dan – he liked it as well. Said he likes the two of them together. Also said that this time Ivan pulled Allison through the dance and worked her on the stage.

Next up was Natalie and Ryan doing a Disco by Tyce
Nigel – thought that it was bad. Ryan was uncomfortable in his shoes up on stage and that he had 0 chemistry with Natalie. Didn’t like it at all.Mary – Same. Said disco is suppose to be fun but Ryan looked completely out of place out there and didn’t show an ounce of personality. Agreed with the no chemsitry bit as well. Dan – said “it was painful to watch.” The tricks were shakey and everything about it was horrible.

Benji and Heidi. Did a was it Broadway? I coudln’t hear or see because of the screams…but I think it was that or Jazz. Nigel – Said it was fantastic..sensational..and said Hallelujah. Mary – said AMEN. LOved it. Dan – Loved it as well. Said the chemistry was fantastic.

Next Travis and Donyelle Quick step of doooom.
Nigel – Thought they danced it like they were professional dancers….but NOT professional ballroom. They did the choreagraphy..and said they didn’t get the style down. They hopped more than skipped and glided…and he said it wasn’t good “i’m afraid”. Mary – Same. She got really technical. She tore at every single detail of the dance with the feet and the arms and the turns and the “closeness” of the bodies. She said a 747 could have landed between them. Didn’t like it. Dan – Said HE loves puting down Nigel and Mary but culdn’t this time. He agreed and said it wasn’t good enough.

Next was Alison and Ivan doing a Hip Hop Routine.
Nigel – Loved the softness of it. TOld them that it was great. And said it was warm and gentle unlike the crazy upbeat high energy kind of hip hop. Mary – Agreed. She said it was cute and warm and she loved it. Dan – Commented on how difficult it is to pull a soft hip hop routine beause it’s about performance and feeling instead of just coming out and dancing full out with high energy. He praised shane for the choreagraphy and said it was great.

Next Natalie and Ryan Contemporary
Nigel – Thought it was beautiful and commented on Ryan. Said this is what Ryan’s here to do.Mary – thought it was good too. It was beautiful and nice. Dan – Same.

Final Benji & Heidi = Club Mambo
Nigel – FANTASTIC. WOW. LOVED IT. thought it looked professional.Mary – Same. Dan – Couldn’t find a single negative thing to say about it.

Conclusion – I still think that Ryan will leave on thursday. But Travis will be on the bottom 2. I think Natalie will leave on thursday with Donyelle on the Bottom 2. My thought is that with Donyelle and Travis doing Solos on thursday..more people will watch. That is why fox will put them on the bottom…So people watch to make sure their favorite is safe and they get to see them do solos. As for the Eliminating…it will be SUICIDAL for fox to get rid of Travis and Donyelle now. Their finale ratings will drop tremendously and they KNOW that. They will not be stupid and Eliminate Travis and Donyelle. That is my two cents.

OMG! I am so excited to see Benji and Heidi dance together. I think the bottom four will be Ryan and Ivan and Natalie and Allison with Ryan and Natalie out.

SYTYCD spoilers from the taping
July 17th, 2006 under SYTYCD. [ Comments: none ]

Ivan and Martha- Blahhhhhhh, you could tell that they were more or less being carried by their respective other partners. They were both pretty weak. The hip was ok but they are both really laid back in their styles so it was kinda boring. The smooth waltz was a bit better but not great. Had like a wedding theme, Ivan in coat with tails, Martha in a gorgeous gown. She was good but not so great without Travis to partener her. Ivan had kind of a tough time picking her up and doing the lifts. Judges didnt really love either outine, said Martha didn’t have the magic. But on the bright side, They looked a lot more proportial as partners.

Allison and Ryan- The comtemporary was crazy. The were wearing all black with eyepatches. It was good, intense but the whole thing kinda had me going WTF? Mia’s nuts. They jumped into the crowd at the end. The broadway was ok. Red outfits with white fedoras. Allison’s hat fell off and she covered it really well. Judges said Ryans personality didn’t show and he didn’t have Broadway nuances but Allison did. They loved her of course but the pimping wasn’t nearly as blatant. Decient couple, I felt like I really noticed Ryan for the first time and that Allison complemented him well.

Dmitry and Donyelle- Interesting pair. The video package’s were hilarious. First was her getting him as a partner going "He’s the sexiest man in the competition, I love you Benji but I love Dmitry!" As she opened his jacket. But for the Benjelle shippers there was a really adorable goodbye hug. The Lindy hop was fun. Donyelle was on! You could tell she was hurting when she was just stating but during the numbers she was amazing. Judges said Dmitry didn’t have the bounce for the hop. Samba was next. Video package beware. We get ARTRY!! Atrem and Dmitry talking Russian and being adorable. The Sambe was really sexy but on whole they didn’t quite have the Benjelle magic And I still prefer Ashlee and Dmitry but they werent bad as a couple.

Heidi and Travis- WOW!! Best couple of the night. The Paso was soooooooooo hot. They really grasped the Bulland Cape aspect of it and they were smoldering. The comtemp was just WOWOWOW. I cried. I admit it. It was the combo of the video, performance, and interview. Joey really covered that but they performed with this metal bench and they had this whole thing where she was under it and he was above trying to touch hands through the grate and Heidi trying to give Trav this flower and him walking away. REally good Props to Mia. They complemented each other so well, no one outshined they worked together and helped each other and I loved it.

Nat and Benji- They were very good too. Again, not a Benjelle level of good but they did good. Natalie really toned down the sex kitten thing and she wasnt grabby at all w/ Benj. They had a cutesy buddies kinda vibe. The jazz was nice. But it was kind of a comtemp-afro kind of jazz. It was filled with joy. Judges loved it. Hip hop was good, I enjoyed it and I knew Nat could do hip hop if she was given something good. The judges didn’t really like it, said they didn’t have great chemistry.

SOLO’s!!!
1. Donyelle- GREAT, she did a hip hop solo. Judges loved it.
2. Dmitry- Eh, Better then last week’s. The highlight was that he ripped his shirt open.
3. Ivan- Wore skate shoes. I thought it was mildly amusing. Nigel said it was a gimmick.
4. Martha- Big ugly hat. Not as good as last week. Cryed and said she was out of it cuz her birthday was last week and her Mom died 2 years ago.
5. Heidi- Same ol Heidi. The highlight was Benji on the sidelines cheering her on.
6. Travis- Great. Same as last week with slow comtemp style, judges loved him.
7. Natalie- BEAUTIFUL! Sad and full of emotion. Judges loved it.
8. Benji- AMAZING!!! Gah, great. It was fun, looonnng applause and a BEN-JI chant that probably wont make air.
9. Allison- Good as per usual.
10. Ryan- Good but not enough to make people vote.
Basically if you’ve seen one solo you’ve seen ‘em all. But nice.

Benjelle
