"So You Think You Can Dance" Fall 2009

The Waltz is the "kiss of death", maybe this will make Ashley GO AWAY!!!!

You never know Karla, she is a ballroom dancer so she might have an advantage. I get the feeling they will keep her around for a bit to create drama. And Nigel gets all creepy and googly-eyed with pretty girls so he'll stand up for her just so he can look at her.

She reminds me of Jeanette from last season. I guess it's a ballroom thing to be over expressive?

The judges will choose who goes home tonight again as well. Next week (after baseball) it will go back to the Wed/Thurs schedule with call in votes.

Lets all pray that it is the "kiss of death" for her.

I absolutely love love love this show. I've been a dancer since I was 3 and I live vicariously through these dancers!! The only problem is that I work EVERY night in my salon and I miss the show. Does anyone know a website where I can watch past episodes? I don't have DVR.

And now for my re-cap, LOL

There are spoilers, so if you haven’t watched you may want to skip this post.

Ryan & Ellenore – Argentine Tango – They could do no wrong! He is such a strong guy and those lifts all looked effortless. I know Ryan isn’t a tango dancer but this was pretty close to his specialty. He’s a judge favorite for sure so I don’t see him going anywhere anytime soon. How weird was Ellenore making those alien noises? It kinda creeped me out!

Phillip & Channing – Samba – This was a STRUGGLE! I felt so bad for them! But, I think part of the problem is that Channing is a bigger, more muscular girl. She would probably do better with the lifts if she had been paired with Ryan – He’s really the only strong guy this season. You could tell at judging they were nervous. It was kind of sucky that Nigel made a big deal of the girls going home then just told Phillip to step forward and said buh-bye.

Victor & Bianca – Broadway – I thought they did better than the judges gave them credit for. It wasn’t my favorite piece at all. I agree that Bianca hadn’t grown but I think she would have gotten a lot of votes. It makes me wonder if they judges picked her because she auditioned and was so close so many times but they knew they needed to get rid of her so they didn’t end up with another Evan.

Peter & Pauline – Jazz – I love Wade. He’s just so out there. Pauline did a great job and Peter held his own! I can see them being a good pair later and he’s muscular enough to lift her.

Legacy & Kathryn – Contemporary – This was a turning point with Legacy for me. I wasn’t a huge fan before but I think he did a great job and showed a softer side in his interview. Kathryn was really under the radar! I didn’t know she was that good!

Nathan & Mollee – Bollywood – Holy Pirouette Batman! Nathan’s spins were insane! I heart him. He reminds me of my Gay BFF Kupono. Mollee did a good job too. I can see the two of them getting more comfortable with each other and the lifts. Of course, I also think they are going to start dating and go to the prom and dance to some Taylor Swift song! LOL

Russell & Noelle – Hip Hop – No Bueno! About halfway through this I was feeling awkward just watching! Poor Noelle looked like she was about to cry the entire time the judges were talking to her! I thought Russell did a good job so I don’t really know why he was criticized.

Kevin & Karen – Hip Hop – Karen is H-O-T hot! She keeps out performing Kevin. Not a big fan of her outfit but I guess that isn’t a big deal. I also want to know what an ice cream paint job is.

Jakob & Ashleigh – Viennese Waltz – I liked this one and I liked Ashleigh! She seemed more humble? And didn’t mention Ryan at all after the dance. Those kisses were pretty smoochy but I guess that just shows she has good chemistry with Jakob. He did pretty well with the lifts, but I think if they got a hard core Disco they would be in trouble.

Lastly, I just want to say that I am not a fan of the new set. I think it is too big and that they aren’t covering the stage enough in the time allotted. I don’t like all of the props and the big backgrounds. It takes away from the dancing and the cameras are doing all kinds of crazy moving and angles!

Legacy and Kathryn were AWESOME! I already had a soft spot for him (for some reason, his face kinda reminds me of Matt, so I kinda heart him!), but he really came thru I thought.

And I agree, Ashleigh was really good and I don't think that waltz was the kiss of death.

HA! I'm glad you brought that up Carly, because I kind of get a Matt vibe from him. I have NO idea why. I thought I was a weirdo!

Erin, great recap! I haven't seen last night's show yet but I liked reading your recap so I know what to expect. I agree, I HAAAATE the new set for the same reasons you just mentioned...yuck! lol

What a WEIRDO! (said in my best Billy Madison voice)

I just mentioned it to my co-worker too and she said the same thing!
