This is going to be the down and dirty version of a review because, really, we’ve pretty much seen it all on So You Think You Can Dance. Don’t you think?
No?
Well … show me where I’m wrong.
We saw Nigel announce no one was leaving the competition last week, but that two contestants will be ousted this week. A bit of a surprise, but just a bit. Drama.
And it’s rather pointless to critique the solo stints any of the contestants do going forward. They get on stage … commit their 30 seconds in their preferred style … and there you go. It is what it is at this stage of the game.
But I will say this coming after the solo from Lauren Froderman: She is going to win this competition. (She’s just some kind of wonderful. Can I get a witness?)
I really don’t see how she can’t win. She’s an animal on stage, and she puts more passion into a performance time and again than anyone left. (Kent Boyd about matches her, but she’s got the edge over him.)
Oh … there have been better performances than Lauren’s week in and week out. But collectively, throughout the season, we’ve seen her rise to the occasion and do things physically, as well as technically, that blow us away.
Just a few random notes on this episode:
Hmmmmmm … lookee there. I didn’t mention AdéChiké Torbert except for right here. He must not have thrilled me at all this episode, regardless of the fact that I like the cut of his jib.
Oh … and I believe Robert will be joining Jose in leaving us at elimination.

By the by: I forgot to thank Julia for picking up my slack while I was away ‘getting my geek on’ at Comic-Con last week.
You rock. Mucho thanks! *curtsies*
I don’t watch this show, but we paused on it for maybe 5 minutes the other night (last night?) while the two dancers in your thumbnail danced. Then it went to the judges, who were super lame. They had no critique for the performance, and were just all “you’re so good, we’ve got nothing to say.” At that point, hubby got bored and flipped the channel.
So I’ve got no clue… are the dancers (or one of the dancers) in the image the one(s) you expect to win?
still waiting for them to feature three dance styles that are largely ignored on this show. Tap, polka, and poll dancing. Maybe they’ll be on the unrated DVD release.

“Poll dancing”, Luna Tick … ?!?!?
I wonder: Would that involve hanging chads and Al Gore choreography? *schweet*
Polka. I’m all over that when it rears its head …
Billy is the best dancer by far but he won’t win because tv voters don’t like him.
Jose is really bad, he should be the first gone but I guess girls find him cute.
Robert and Kent are paired, both equally good but Kent is more outgoing. They should be top5.
Lauren, not so much, sorry but I disagree with you. I don’t find her that good or remarkable in any aspect of dancing but then again Sabra won a season, anything can happen.
Adechike, I don’t get what he is doing still here. I don’t like his style, he seems sooo forced to me.
Those are the top6 but both injured were top5 too… so yeah, it should have been injured #1, billy, kent , robert , injured #2 for me.

Isn’t it a kick, Adrian how we all have these opinions about the various dancers on the show and we can debate about them to our hearts content?
I just don’t see Billy being the best dancer in the bunch. Oh … he’s good … he brings some interesting things to the table … but I don’t see the same passion in him that I do in Lauren.
We’ll see what happens going forward …
I would just like to know if we are actually going to be able to vote for the bottom anytime soon? They should stop doing the bottom three and just have the people decide who wins the thing.
However it’s clear Kent, who I can’t stand, will win. People are nuts for him.
