Slightly bald. Also dances". Check out some of Ryan's choreography online. The man can really bring it. I agree he deserved the cut after his hip-hop and ballroom performances.....but I can't get over the niggling feeing TPTB were looking for an excuse to lose him. Sometimes I find whom they exclude and whom they offer extra chances to, to be rather arbitrary. At any rate '“ there are some fabulous and funny dancers this season. It will be interesting to see how Nigel casts the show. As regards Ryan Kasprzak not being pretty enough for prime time – I remember what RKO said of Fred Astaire’s first screen test: “Can’t act.

I think she looks great. perhaps the haircut and the professional make-up age her a bit, but i think that she looks awesome. What is more important-- she is an amazing dancer and she brings this show to another level. “Am I the only person who thinks Iveta is more like 39 than 29?

I don't really mind that Ryan left, I was never a huge fan of either Kasprzak, Evan stayed <em>way</em> too long. <blockquote>Did anyone else notice Caitlin's sister try out?

Anyone else think its weird that they never mentioned Caitlin? Also, did the girl who lost her toenail in Salt Lake City get cut?

I enjoyed his Krumping and ballroom dancing. He has said that he can do other styles so I think that he is definitely one to watch. I could see him going far in the competition this season.

(which i think should be given to russell.) and i still turn into a tween when i see nathan dance. love him! i was so sad when they cut ryan but it was justified. his hip hop was ok but his ballroom was horrible. totally cring worthy. i too think i feel in love with russel the krumper. and iveta looks better without 5 pound of make up on. i thought jonathan did too many tricks and not enough dancing. and i think the producers are trying to give legacy the pimp story arc of bboy developing into a great all around dancer.

He wasn't bringing it. Fell way short and I had the impression that he and others on the show were thinking we would be in the Top 20. Just shows nothing is a sure thing unless you can prove yourself. I noticed some of the 'dancers' this season are doing alot more gymnastics than dancing. I think that's why Jonathan was cut so early, but it was surprising. There's alot of going from trick to trick happening, which the judges were right to call out. And yeah, a dance champion competing on the show. It'll make for some great dance but it is surprising that they would allow someone with this caliber of experience on the show. And, what's with all the dissing of Mia? I thought she was great on the show. And love her choreography. Absolutely no hate here! I’m so glad they cut Ryan. He wasn’t bringing it.

S5: to my uneducated eyes, when I saw Nathan Trasoras in s5, I thought he was the best dancer I saw - this season, he appears ordinary (comparatively, obviously he is gifted). Regarding Irina Lukosiute, she is not a 10x World Champion, she is a "10-Dance' World Champion, a compilation of scores for: "the five International Ballroom (Standard) dances: waltz, foxtrot, quickstep, tango and Viennese waltz, along with the five International Latin Dances: rumba, samba, paso doble, cha-cha-cha and jive, as defined in ballroom dancing terms".

I like Legacy even if he does have a stupid name. I am hoping Russell makes it, was disappointed Jean did not and sad Justin the hottie didn't take classes in other styles, damn *sigh* I didn't like Iveta much when she first auditioned but last night when she was partnered with Russell I warmed to her however I gotta wonder why a world champion dancer needs to go on SYTYCD, she's already proved she can, duh! Oh well whatev, I like her anyway. Did anyone else notice Caitlin's sister try out? Or maybe it was just someone who looked like her because they didn't reference Caitlin. She got cut last night anyway. I am very glad they cut Ryan Kasprzak, he got enough airtime last season and I agree with whoever up thread said that they only kept him until final cut last season for drama. Also glad they cut the Jack lookalike from Will and Grace but kept Will, at least for now. I'm still undecided about the rest but i'm ready for them to cut Nappytabs, asap would be good. Oh and also sad they cut Teddy Plaid Pants, as dorky as he was I thought he had great potential and would have grown well on the show, hope he comes back next year. Ugh takes one to know one Mia.

Nigel was right, his hip hop was barely passable and the ballroom cringe-worthy. He needed to go. When you've got the likes of Russell really stepping it up out of his genre letting Ryan go was really was a no-brainer, IMO. I have no problem with Mia saying that S6 will blow out S5. Based on the little clips/segments they showed for next week I've already got high expectations. Hopefully these people can dance out of their genres because a lot look fantastic doing their own thing.

How can she be so sure unless 'moments' are set up for this to happen? BBoy Legacy i such a bad boy. Why do I get the feeling that he wants to be in movies? While Nathan Trasoras will have the tween and teens fangieling like crazy. Should be interesteing.

I like him very much but don't think he was really right for this show as a contestant. Choreographer, sure. Replace NappyTabs. I might be in love with Russell Ferguson!
