I know nobody is reading this thread anymore, but this is the first time I’m posting, so I actually feel less shy without a big audience. First, THANK YOU SO MUCH MJ for this blog! You have no idea how amazing it has been to have a place to go to see the show, to watch numbers again and again, to read yours and others’ comments. Yeah! Anyway, I’ve gone back and watched both of Sonya’s jazz numbers from last week a bunch of times. For a little while there, Sonya was a hit or miss for me, but now she’s back, and I’m LOVING it! Also, a couple of weeks ago, Nigel berated everyone for having weak solos, and I have to say, I just looked at one of Ade’s solos from last season and it was so frickin’ amazing that, indeed, Season 6’s soloists cannot begin to hold a candle to that kind of mad talent. It’s almost embarassing, in fact. Just my opinion.

Not a huge deal but it’s Noelle, MJ.

I am with you sunshine girl. I think NOELLE is WAY Underrated this season. But i think it was because people form their favorites in the first week and she sat out. But she will be good at whatever she does if she goes home.

It’s turning into a really great season. Sonya killed it tonight…twice! I’m going to miss several of the pairings. Next week should be interesting.

Awesome show! Lots of good dancing. Sonya is excellent! My favs are starting to shape up. Ashleigh is growing on me. But Noelle…..wow. Her flexibility and leg extension is just beautiful. Hate to see Ashleigh and Jakob split up. They are awesome together. I think Mollee and Karen are my least favorite girls. As for guys…..they are all pretty darn terrific. If we have to lose one, I would pick Victor. It will be interesting to see the new pairings. And, thanks MJ for posting the dances. Appreciate it!

Wow, I have really gotten into this season now – what a great show tonight! It’ll be interesting to see the new pairings. I hate that some of these pairs are going to be broken up, there was some great chemistry. And yeah, I am not sure I ever liked a Broadway routine that much before – Ryan & Ellenore were great. I like them a lot.

I think this is the best night I’ve ever seen of SYTYCD. So many good routines. I’m really loving Kathryn. She’s a beautiful dancer. How weird is it to actually like a Broadway routine?

Jakob really moves me every time he dances. What control! Absolutely riveting to watch. So was Legacy. His crab walk entrance just killed. And it didn’t matter that he lost style points on that waltz. He made the hairs on my arms go up when he danced it. Such passion! Add in Ellenore and Russell – and you have my top four.

this was such a good night! the first time i’ve been really excited about the group as a whole

ITA!!! i think all of them did great in at least one of their routines. i absolutely love ryan and ellenore and russel and nathan and karen. jakob and ashleigh are amazing. kathryn has grown on me.

i think the bottom three couples will be karen/victor, nathan/mollee, & i’m gonna go out on a limb and say legacy/kathryn. it might be russell/noelle. not really sure. i think the judges will eliminate victor and mollee (i really really really really hope!!!).

OMG, r u me? This is exactly what I have been dreaming!!!

I dunno? I am small, and I def can be witchy….

Wouldn’t it suck if they paired Jakob and Ellenore and then gave them the Quickstep or something?

I guess I am one of the few who likes Noelle and really notices how well she dances. A friend of mine who hasn’t really been following much of this season texted me during the show tonight to say how impressive she thought Noelle was. I think her friendship with Mollee makes people hate her by association which is sad actually cause she deserves to stay infinitely more than Karen.

this was such a good night! the first time i’ve been really excited about the group as a whole. LOVING kathryn, legacy, ellenore, jacob, and ashleigh, and russell. the rest are just arright for me, dawg.

Yeah, both of Sonya’s dances were amazing. This was a good night of dancing overall. My favorite dancers right now are:

1. Jakob!!!! < incredible
2. Kathryn
3. Ellenore

4. Russell
5. Ashleigh
6. Nathan
7. Ryan
8. Noelle
9. Legacy

There's a couple of dancers who I believe could or should go home:
Karen – over-rated because of sex appeal
Mollee – over-rated because of cute and spunky appeal
Victor – not as good as the other guys

It's hard to say whats going to happen since it seemed that the judges wanted to see both Karen and Mollee in the top 10. Maybe they're going to sacrifice Noelle.

Also, I’ve decided my sooper sekrit wish for this season is Ellenore +Jakob+ Wade. Make it happen, show.

OMG, r u me? This is exactly what I have been dreaming!!!

I want as pairs

Ashleigh / Russell
Ellenore / Jakob
Kathryn/ Ryan
Karen/Mollee / Legacy
Noelle / Nathan

I really want Mollee to disappear and I know she won’t. Victor just not feeling him at all.

i liked Noelle and Russell the best.

Anyone who has seen the “Josephine Baker” story knows and understands the importance of the Can-Can. It is a demanding dance, physically. Nathan did a wonderful job! Mollee held back because of her ankle injury. I would love to have seen a taller girl do this dance, but she did well.

It is easy for me to say that Noelle will go home. However, as mentioned deciding on which male will go home is not an easy choice. I am leaning towards Vicotr because of a few comments made by the judges.

Favorite couples at this point: Legacy and Kathrin AND Ryan and Ellenore.

Ugg, I can’t edit and I forgot to mention the dreaded Lindy Hop. That didn’t suck! Which is saying a lot, because I haaaaaaaate the Lindy Hop. Hate. Go Ellenore and Ryan.

If I could I would send home two girls ‘â€œ Noelle and Mollee, and keep all the guys.

Oh, so much word. I like all the guys, some (Jakob) more than others, but totally would not miss Mollee and Noelle.

I was just telling my mom tonight how much I love this season. Because I love this season! Unlike last season where the original couples didn’t really gel and you really had to mix and match to get to the good stuff, you have such unexpectedly compelling couples in Ashleigh/Jakob, Ryan/Ellenore, and Kathryn/Legacy. I haven’t been this sad to see couples separate since Marksie, Katua, and Gevney. And also, week after week there’s amazing choreography to love. OMG Sonya, did she step up to the plate or what? The Jakob/Ashleigh lyrical jazz was just stunning, gorgeous, and yet still uniquely Sonya. Def my fave. The other jazz piece was saucy and quirky and really fun to watch. And the Broadway! FINALLY. That is what I’m talking about. Thank you Spencer. That was fantastic. Love Ellenore.

You know, I think Tyce’s contemporary with Russell and Noelle was kinda pedestrian compared to Sonya’s piece. Flail, flail, rip, rub paint, flail. I hated, hated the ripping shirt bit. I dunno. Can’t blame the dancers as it was the choreo that bugged. Although, said it before, Russell has SO had formal dance training.

Nathan outdanced the other three dancers who did hip hop tonight, I thought. I really hope he survives and can dance with another partner. Those TURNS in the can can. Jeebus, boy.

Pleasantly surprised by Jakob in the cha cha, also same for Ryan in the Broadway. Just a great night of dancing, mostly.

Also, I’ve decided my sooper sekrit wish for this season is Ellenore +Jakob+ Wade. Make it happen, show.

I would love to think the Can Can will be the end of Mollee and Nathan but Nigel has pretty much said they are already in the top 10 so I don’t think they are going anywhere unfortunately. Their routine’s were the worst of the night, Nathan dances only slightly better than Mollee who is really sloppy.
Best of the night for me were Legacy and Kathryn and Ellenore and Ryan.
I expect Karen and Victor will go home.

How do you get rid of Phillip Cheebeeb — Russian Folk Dancing

How do you get rid of Nathan — the Can Can

Seriously, that was the most ridiculous thing I’ve seen on tv.

By: butte009

butte009 — Wed, 25 Nov 2009 03:06:19 +0000

For me the only safe couples should be Ryan/Ellenore and Jakob/Ashleigh.

Ryan/Ellenore: + +
Legacy/Kathryn: + -
Victor/Karen: + ~
Nathan/Mollee: + ~
Russell/Noelle: – +
Jakob/Ashleigh: + +

If I could I would send home two girls – Noelle and Mollee, and keep all the guys. Unfortunately I think the writing is on the wall for Victor even though I think Legacy is out of his league – likable as he may be.

Loved Ashleigh and Jakob tonight. They’re one couple I never expected to like as I’m rooting for the other ballroom girl, Karen. But Ashleigh has really proved herself to be a formidable and versatile dancer. If Karen is out tomorrow, then Ashleigh all the way!

The judges raved about Mollee and Nathan (as expected) but I didn’t really enjoy their can-can. They may have great moves and tricks, but their dancing just seems immature to me. I know they’re younger than the rest but I’ve seen fantastic dancing from people just as young (Allison Holker from Season 2 and Kayla from Season 5).

Sad for Karen and Victor not doing well on the Laurianne Gibson routine. I have to say the routine didn’t do any favors for them. I still like them both as dancers though. Karen looked really down! aww…

Anyone who says Noelle should leave after that is crazy!

By: Sarah

I liked that contemporary a whole lot. It usually seems like Tyce can do contemporary really well, but usually sucks with broadway and is hit & miss with jazz.

All of the contemporary & jazz routines have been great tonight.

ETA: I’m torn on the Can Can. Nathan’s turns and lines are INCREDIBLE. I really want to see him with another partner, because I think he has SUCH potential. But I can’t see him with hot, sultry Karen. Probably not with Ashleigh either. Maybe Kathryn? I don’t know.

I hope Nigel regrets the Nathan/Mollee partnership, because it’s really been a hindrance to both of them, imo.

Didn’t really enjoy the cancan.

By: Sunshinegirl

Sunshinegirl — Wed, 25 Nov 2009 02:38:24 +0000

Please send Karen home this week! I don’t care how sexy she is. I can’t stand her! Noelle should stay!

By: butte009

butte009 — Wed, 25 Nov 2009 02:25:26 +0000

Not really caring for the LaurieAnn piece either.

Can Can = new Russian Folk Dance? I’m not optimistic.

ETA: Not as bad as I was expecting when I heard Tyce was the choreographer on top of it.

By: Sarah

Sarah — Wed, 25 Nov 2009 02:22:20 +0000

I’m glad the judges actually critiqued Legacy’s dancing, FINALLY, even if it was a cop out. Because regardless of the emotionally manipulative backstory, his form was not that good. And IMO, he’s been getting some lucky hat “draws.”

Ellenore is my favorite girl, but Kathryn is creeping up there.

Damn, I never realized Victor is so tall.
