So You Think You Can Dance - Air Date June 22
Ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls, children of all ages! Welcome to Realivision where we struggle more than any blog on the internet to come up with opening lines!
Good, that's over. Let's get to the show, and what a show it was! We had drama, intrigue, suspense, comedy, drama... Or some drama and a surprise or two. It's elimination night, and you know what that means - lots of filler when we could be seeing the six contestants fighting for their competitive lives given more time to dance.
The best of the filler has to be the opening dances on these results shows where everyone left dances just to perform. It's still a little hard to follow at times because of the sheer number of people on stage but that will dwindle each week.
Small talk with the judges. Alright.
Some behind-the-scenes stuff. Cool.
Ah! Here we go!
Doing it differently than last week, which makes sense considering how the numbers have changed, Cat Deeley brings the pairs down in groups of three. First up were Hjamze and Jessica, Ben and Ashlee, and Dmitry and Joy. If you're Jyammes and Jessica, at this point you're probably sweating because last time you stood next to Ben and Ashlee it didn't go so well despite the fact that they deserved bottom three so much more than you. This week is different though and there is the wildcards of Dmitry and Joy. Really this should be between B&A and D&J. Really really because even though Joy was a little weak in their dance the previous night, it should be Ben and Ashlee going to get ready for their solos.
I really don't get how Ben and Ashlee are making it through, because for the second week in a row they had a bottom three dance, but yet again they got the votes. Dmitry and Joy would be going on to dance their solos.
Next up were Travis and Martha, Benji and Donyelle, and Musa and Natalie. Damn, this had to be hard for M&N (can I go all "Bennifer" or "Brangelina" on them and call them "Mutalie"?), because if one couple from each grouping is going to have to dance then this isn't looking good for them.
Aaaaaaannnnnnd... Mutalie is safe! So are Trartha and Donji!
That means that only one of the next three pairs is safe. Jason and Aleksandra, Ryan and Heidi, and Ivan and Allison all come to the front. I hate to say it, but Ivan brought it the previous night so he deserves to stay this week. And sure enough, Ivan and Allison are safe.
So we have our bottom three couples. Next up, we get to see them dance their solos!
Joy - It was a nice dance. Pleasant to watch, it gave us a chance to see why she was there in the first place.
Dmitry - Out comes the handsome, muscular, manly Dmitry to perform a manly dance in a manly... dress? No, once he starts moving it's not a dress but what is it? The best description I can come up with is silky, billowing chaps over regular pants. The solo looked very bullfighterish, but truth be told I was mesmerized by that outfit.
Heidi - The dance of the night, and that's saying something when pitting a ballroom dancer up against people who are used to performing solo. This was someone who was dancing for her life and she brought it.
Ryan - I liked it. I wish I had more to say, I really do, but that's all.
Aleksandra - There was this thing she did with her legs that I absolutely loved, but after Heidi's passion, this was very lacking. If you want to stay in the competition, move like you mean it!
Jason - My favourite dancer last week, he was in the bottom three this week. His dance was good, but I'd much rather see him do something more lyrical and less hip-hop.
Not as easy a call this week. Frankly I could see all three of the guys going on, and Heidi should stay but which of Joy and Aleksandra should go?
As the judges go back to deliberate, we're treated to some generic singer who apparently has a number one song but does some of the worst lipsynching I've ever seen. Fortunately for me, I have this on tape so it's fast-forward time.
The second woman to leave the competition is... Joy. Okay, yes. She has a lot of maturing to do as a performer and hopefully she can take this experience and build on it.
The second man to leave the competition is... Jason. Damn it, I liked him! It's not as big a shock as last week though, as this time it was a strong three-way field and the judges had a much harder choice to make. It really could have gone any way.
With the loss of Joy and Jason, we get our first re-pairing of the show and it appeared to be greeted with mixed emotions. Dmitry was fighting to hold back a huge smile, and Aleksandra looked devastated. How much of it was losing Jason and how much it was pairing with Dmitry we'll find out next week.
And we come to the end, ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls, children of all ages! See you later from Realivision where we struggle more than any blog on the internet to come up with closing lines!
