Last night we lost Comfort and Thayne, revealing this year’s top 10. Like the judges last night, I really liked Thayne’s technique and grace, and was even coming around to his creepy smile. Nigel commented that he would have rather let two girls go than lose Thayne – so why didn’t they? We know the rules – one guy and one girl gone a week – but why not make an exception in these cases? When we get to the bottom four, it’s fine for two males to share a routine, so why not earlier on in the competition? Okay, so some people are pretty reluctant to see two guys waltzing around the stage, looking lovingly into each others’ eyes – but there are plenty of styles that lend themselves to side-by-side routines: contemporary, jazz, hip-hop, Broadway, even the dreaded krump. We know these choreographers are creative, so why not let them do their thing without having to sacrifice good dancers for mediocre ones?
That’s my rant for the day. I can’t wait until next week when they start mixing up the couples. Here are my thoughts on who will be eliminated over the next few weeks.
5. Jessica And Gev- Nigel wanted Jess gone this week, and I am pretty over her. She reminds me of Jamie last year – she has beautiful lines but doesn’t hold a candle to the other girls when it comes to performance. And I love Gev. He’s a fun little B-boy. But he doesn’t have the technique or the confidence to keep going. I think that once he loses Courtney, he’ll be lost in general.
4. Courtney G. and Mark – Courtney makes Gev look good, but on her own she can be a bit forgettable. I don’t think she has the presence or the skill to partner well with any of the other guys. The judges have already commented on Mark’s lack of technique, and I’m afraid that without Chelsie by his side, he will fade into the background.
3. Will and Kherington – Will has the technique, but does he have the personality? So far, I haven’t seen it. I think Mark has far more charisma, but I think Will’s talent will keep him on just one week further. Miss K is one of my favorites as far as personality goes, but she has a tendency to lose her connection with the dance and her partner.
2. Chelsie and Twitch – I was torn between Chelsie and Miss K for the final spot in the top 4, but Chelsie so far has more charisma and knows how to command the stage. Twitch may not be the best dancer, but he’s definitely a fan favorite, which is, in reality, all he needs.
1. Katee and Joshua – Katee is a gorgeous girl and a gorgeous dancer, and she is definitely an asset to Joshua. He’s a little quiet, a little reserved, but when he dances I am completely amazed and surprised every time. Even when he’s not technically sound, he has presence, and I think he deserves the crown.
