SO YOU THINK YOU CAN DANCE Video Death Match
Week 2 Results
The results are in and after this week’s record voting America (almost 10,000), the three routines going home are:
Jaimie and Hok’s Hummingbird/Flower routine (really folks?), Pasha and Lauren’s Transformers routine (not sad to see Lauren leave), and… sadly IMOGENE HEAP’s Opening Number featuring Danny Tidwell half naked with a big duct-tape X on his chest.
That’s a lot to take in. Each week it’s just going to get harder and if you people start cutting my boy Neil, there’s going to be some serious ramifications. That’s all I’m saying!
Let’s have one last look at the three routines your votes could have saved.
SO YOU THINK YOU CAN DANCE Season 3 Winner is…
SABRA JOHNSON!
Let’s rewind though shall we?
Before I get to writing this up I have to tell you all some shockingly bad news. I lost 45 minutes of the show tonight. Something happened with our power and from 8:33 to about 9:15 I missed SO YOU THINK YOU CAN DANCE! A part of my soul is missing as well. Anyone who wants to fill me in step by step can in the comments section, help a brother out!
The show starts and Cat Deeley looks like a glorious Grecian Ostrich with her hair pulled back with the crown braid and that crazy poof of ruffles! She loves poof and she loves animal prints, so an Ostrich is actually semi-fitting for our beloved host.
The Top 20 are introduced in the order they were eliminated and the stage looks so insane with all of them there again! Everyone is in white and I’m having horrid nightmares of Idol’s All-White Angelic Charity Event Night(mare). I loved seeing everyone again because as the weeks go on and more happens, I actually tend to forget a face or two. Jessi looks really good, guess that heart of her’s is still holding out. Dominic and Sara got a huge response when they were shown and Pasha gave Lauren a version of the butt-bongos.
Then it was time for our Top 4 and it was glorious to see them up there, the envy of 16 others! Lacey Schwimmer, Neil Haskell, Sabra Johnson, and Danny Tidwell. This game is ON.
Ducky reader MELLIEMEL (hiding her real name for gangsta purposes I presume) was lucky enough to attend the taping of last night’s SO YOU THINK YOU CAN DANCE Top 10 performances. As she promised last week, she’s bringing us all the scoop from inside the house!
MellieMel will spoil you, she’ll treat us, and she’ll make you laugh when we go ON SET WITH MELLIEMEL! (more…)
Deborah Starr Seibel at TVGuide has been spending some seriously envious time with the So You Think You Can Dance crew and is reporting all the juicy gossip for us.
Why did Jessi Peralta go home? Nigel Lythgoe finally fesses up:
“For two weeks, Jessi was ill,” says Lythgoe. “The first week, we got her through it. But the second week she went to the hospital.” Lythgoe owns up to the charge that Peralta was sent packing in part because of her health. “I won’t speak for the other judges,” says Lythgoe, “but for me personally, yes, I did take that into account.”
Does Danny Tidwell have pierced genitalia?
The pinched expression on contemporary dancer Danny Tidwell’s face Wednesday night as the judges argued over whether his problem connecting with the audience was the result of his perceived arrogance. Tidwell’s expression had little to do with the discussion about his attitude — he was battling tremendous physical discomfort and his closed, tight face hid the fact that he probably wanted to scream. “He had four safety pins pricking his testicles because he’d split his pants,” explains executive producer and judge Nigel Lythgoe, shaking his head after tonight’s results show. “You never give a dancer safety pins, and he had four of them up there.”
Does Benji Schwimmer mind giving the spotlight up to his sister Lacey over technical ability?
“Not at all,” he says, hanging out backstage after the show. “I taught her, so that’s just a credit to my teaching abilities. Of course she’s more technical than I am, because she’s had one more teacher than I had — me.”
First of all let me start by saying I was so happy to see Cat Deeley and the Top 14 kids back in action after that mini-holiday hiatus they took last week. It was like seeing an old friend again, putting on those comfy pajamas, or biting into a bing cherry for the first time all year. You know, things you love and are happy when they come back and they just make you giddy like a school girl…
Before I get into the show at all I want to say that I want to hug, squeeze, kiss, high five, dap, and maybe give a happy ending to Hairspray The Musical Director/Choreographer/This Week’s Guest Judge ADAM SHANKMAN for finally having the balls to say that Danny Tidwell acts like he’s way above this competition! In fact I think the words were, “you dance like you’ve already won this competition.” There was some calling out of sticks being up asses and cockiness and my paragraph has just gone to a whole new level of innuendo but seriously, I WAS SO HAPPY TO SEE SHANKMAN CALL HIM OUT! Amen brother man! Needed to be done but we’ll talk more about it later.
So You Think You Can… Predict who’s going home on this show each week? Hardly. Last night’s SO YOU THINK YOU CAN DANCE results show was yet another shocker of a night for the dancers and for the audience. The contestant that just won’t go away is still kicking around and Mary Murphy’s jovial screams were probably sent into a pillow last night instead of into the audience.
As you’ve probably guessed by now, Cedric Gardner did not go home after the insistence from Mary Murphy and Nigel that he must. I knew this would happen. I knew that the way Mary and Nigel treated Cedric on Wednesday night would cause more people to vote for him out of sympathy and not. Oh you could just see Mary seething sitting there on her stoop. Suck on that Mary Murphy! Cedric Gardner is still on the Hot Tamale Train and he ain’t getting off anytime soon. Shauna girl, you deserved to stay as well, you worked that Mia routine like noone’s business.
Jessi was there in attendance and she looked great during both the opening number and when they allowed her to dance the routine she should have danced the night before with Pasha. Let me tell you, girl wiggled and writhed like a horny latin stripper! The routine had a different feel but hands down it was wonderful to watch. Regardless, she’s dancing for her life.
So You Think You Can Dance Week 3 started off with one hell of a bang! Not only did we get the best guest judge the shows ever had, we quite possibly got the best guest on any reality show, period! A dancer has an irregular heart and was replaced by an insane person. Nigel rips a dancer a new one and asks Cat to sit on his face. All this and more coming up on So You Think You Can Dance.
The Top 16 performed last night and the two hours hurled by like a whirlwind and I’m still left numb from all the awesomeness.
Guest Judge Debbie Allen (girl, you know I love me some FAME and beside all the gifts you brought to the show last night you also reminded these kids that Fame does cost and that up there on that stage is where they start payin’… in SWEAT!) is the shit! Never has there been nor will there ever be a Judge on SYTYCD like Ms. Debbie Allen.
She’s funny, professional, emotional, fierce, uplifting, generous, articulate, and honestly could there be someone who knows more about dance? Doubtful. The woman worked it out and the only thing missing from her performance was a guest spot from Felicia Rishad and some lip syncin’ Huxtables.
Before the dancing began, Mary told us that her favorite dancer is Dominic (and seriously he’s slowly becoming mine as well) and she gushed so much about him that I swear she’s got a blue dress and a beret somewhere in her closet. Nigel said he was very pleased with the show up to this point and loves the online chatter, even the person that called him “The ugly old guy with the dentures and the cat on his head.” when trying to correct the person he basically sexually harassed Cat. “And you’ve not been on my head Cat…” Oh no he didn’t!!!
Every Tuesday morning I wish I spent the night before in Los Angeles if only so I could have seen the taping of this week’s SO YOU THINK YOU CAN DANCE. We’re entering Week 3 and I’m getting more excited as the time passes.
Last week we lost Jimmy and Faina, the week before Ricky and Ashlee and according to online sentiment this week we should be losing Cedric and Shauna (though Jessi is earning bad marks all around).
After reviewing the dances that will be performed on tomorrow night’s show I have to say I’m a little worried. Not to mention, people who attended the taping last night said it was a mess of a taping. Some girl fainted, they had to re-record a good amount, and the audience was out of control. To me, that sounds like money!
The dances and choreographers are revealed after the jump. (more…)
So You Think You Can Dance Week 2 was a hard one because each contestant was really great and tonight, I knew it was going to be a really rough elimination. I however wasn’t expecting the shock of LACEY and KAMERON going home!
I kid…
Though sadly some peeps would love to see that happen. How dare you!
Let’s get right to it. The Bottom 3 Girls were Jessi Peralta (wha wha what?), Shauna Noland, and Faina Savitch. I expected Shauna and Faina to be in the bottom three but really with Jessi? Mary wasn’t having it and again I was worrying we were going to have a Ricky moment from last week.
The Bottom 3 Guys were Pasha, Jimmy Arguello, and Cedric Gardner. Again, Jimmy and Cedric were expected but there was no way Pasha deserved the bottom 3.
Tonight we did lose two dancers that were not partnered and in doing so we’ve created our first Season 3 Frankendancers….
Wednesday is a good night. So You Think You Can Dance really makes me a happy camper and the show tonight started off with some incredible routines and some hot ass chemistry!
My BF Neil Haskell (yes, after tonight it is official) and Lauren Gottlieb danced to a Hip Hop routine by Choreographer Dave Scott. We got to learn a little more about both contestants (all the contestants really) which is great because it helped me fall more deeply into TV crush mode with Neil. We’ve got a special thing, me and Neil and his calves… Those calves are like two softballs in white socks (wait, what?) and I just want them wrapped around his ears me.
I loved that Neil came out during the opening of the show and did the trademark Travis Wall spins, that helped endear him to me, can’t lie. The choreography was insane for this routine and it really played to Neil’s height and lankyness. I absoloved the ass smak, the dive roll, and the kick Lauren gave Neil! Amazing! Such a great way to start the night.
Mia said Neil rocked her world. Get in line bitch! (more…)
It’s Wednesday and that means tonight is all about SO YOU THINK YOU CAN DANCE over on Fox. While some of you might think that the dance show is live, it’s not. It’s recorded Monday nights, aired on Wednesday and then they go live on Thursday.
Before I get to the spoiler of what couples danced which routines, I wanted to bring you this treat. Please let this be the group number this week. Here’s an amazing video of Gwen Verdon doing some 60’s Bob Fosse (thanks to pheoboy for the video):
Here are the couples and their routines for Wednesday, June 20th: (more…)
So You Think You Can Dance groups numbers are either incredible or incredibly bad. Last night we were given yet another incredible treat from choreographer Wade Robson. Seriously, can I just have his babies already? Wait, that’s not possible and I so don’t want kids but you get the idea here.
The girls were like Laugh-In dancers meet Oompa Loompas and the men were just sleek and sexy hot! Everyone was on point, in sync, and representin’! Great way to open the show.
So You Think You Can Dance sent two contestants home tonight and one of them I’m sure will cause quite the shockwave. I’m still stunned at the decision the Judges came to tonight. I’m just gonna get it out of the way so, get ready…
