Tonight's performances on SYTYCD were great. And now I'm blogging about it. I think Alisa was actually embarrassed to be my roommate just now. She probably thought about kicking me out, or moving out. Or just plain slapping me. But what's done is done, and I won't even begin to tell you the things she does, like get me hooked on shows like ANTM and SYTYCD and...oh, Project Runway. *Ahem*
So, I had some disagreements with the judgements, but overall, I think everyone has really improved -- I like the idea of couples staying together so that they get to know one another. Benji and Donyelle definitely have that Fred and Ginger chemistry (is there something there that's more than dance partner chemistry? Eh?), and Natalie and Musa almost definitely have something going on (again, maybe it's just dance partner chemistry, but they seem very very intimate!)
Martha and Travis' hip-hop routine tonight was great. Alisa has this theory that Travis is just going to be good at whatever he does, no matter what. She thinks he's going to win. I am still pulling for Benji, but Travis is a good dancer and can pull of that sexy, masculine thing that Benji has trouble with because he's so cute and goofy! I'm okay with that, but will America and the judges be okay with it? Anyway, I agree with the judges that Martha was smooth like honey and Travis was a little jerky, but I honestly didn't notice until it was pointed out, and I thought they were great! Great!
Jessica and Jamyz were...Meh. Even less than meh? The only thing I feel more meh about than Jessica and Jamyz are contemporary dance routines and spelling your name Jamyz. I don't know. I wasn't very impressed. They're going to be in the bottom three fo'sure.
Natalie and Musa were good, too, but on the "only okay" side of good. Their Quick Step was good, in my mind, but it's only been an hour, and I'm already forgetting about it. It was forgettable. I really love them, though, and this is a stupid reason, but it's because they really do make me believe that they're totally sleeping with each other (I know, I know. He's married...I don't want to lose the illusion though!). I don't know how true it is, and I shouldn't be so gossipy, but seriously, guys! Seriously. And I thought they were good. Are they destined for the bottom three, though? I think there's a good chance.
Donyelle and Benji were great again tonight, with their Pop Jazz, and his eyeliner and the being steamy (ha...steamy), and the way he is so sweet and she is so nice, and they have so much chemistry! They can basically do. no. wrong. Not in my mind. They play off each other really well, and they do have the Fred and Ginger thing going for them, and beyond being phenomenal dancers, they are phenomenal people.
Ivan and Alison's Argentine Tango tonight was FANTASTIC. I know, I know...the judges said they weren't perfect, because neither of them was comfortable with the Argentine Tango. That said, I was peeing all over the couch, they were so fantastic. There were some *SQUEE*ing going on, too.
Aleksandra and Dmitry's waltz was only so-so. I mean, I thought it was good - the dance, anyway. But the emotions? The feeling? The chemistry? There was none! To the bottom three for you.
Heidi and Ryan did a Cuban Rumba tonight. Heidi and Ryan just aren't my favorite couple. That thing they did, where he "beat her bongos" as Nigel put it...that freaked me out. I've seen movies that could pass as softcore porn that I thought were less vulgar. Okay, that was mean, but seriously? I didn't think it was great. I wasn't impressed. Bottom three? Probably not. That's just wishful thinking on my part.
Ashlee and Ben pulled hip-hop this week. They are just about the cutest couple ever (obviously when I say things like this I mean besides Benjelle). They don't seem to have the talent that some of the better couples have, but what they lack in talent they make up for in personality. They have buckets of personality. BUCKETS. I love them to death, and I hope they stay with us longer than some of the more flat people, because at the very least, they seem to get better and better with each passing week, and they deserve to stay. (Also? "You shut your mouth" - Come on!)
