Nor from me, Hisaki. It will be a Mattrocity for him to miss the tour.

No tomatoes from me Hisaki –

Nice to see you back to your old self, btw.

Which is also why IÃƒ ¢Ã¢â€š ¬Ã¢â€ž ¢m unsure whether or not Gev will make top 10. Do they really want 3 hip hop guys on tour? Especially if they want Comfort around, too.

I will pay the price of having Comfort on tour and Gev not being there if it means Matt can just barely make it to the tour. *dodges tomatoes*

Found this on TWOP – HAWT (Mark) is in this Jasmine Trias music video.

Jasmine Trias YouTube

He appears at :28 and during some of the group dancing to the right — and then again (I think) at 2:10.

Not much of him, but he’s so great — she should have just had him dancing behind her. (Not that we paid any attention to her anyway, but?)

Yeah, but I think they want her on tour to balance it out. Otherwise youÃƒ ¢Ã¢â€š ¬Ã¢â€ž ¢d basically have 4 contemporary girls and 1 ballroom. If they keep her around, it will probably be 3 contemp, 1 ballroom, 1 hiphop.

Sarah, stop trying to confuse poor KK. You’re making this so much harder on her!!

Oh, and Dan Karaty needs to be on. It’s been wayyyyyyy too long. I miss seeing him on my tv!!!!!111!!!!111!!!!!

Sarah — Wed, 02 Jul 2008 01:14:39 +0000

ThatÃƒ ¢Ã¢â€š ¬Ã¢â€ž ¢s right. I still might stick with Comfort though. Comfort and Danny are NOT on the same level. He was worth saving, she is not.

Danny was last year. He and Anya were in the bottom 3 for top 16/14/12 weeks. Anya went home that last week, but Danny didnÃƒ ¢Ã¢â€š ¬Ã¢â€ž ¢t, of course.

My question is, has anyone been in the bottom 3 for 3 consecutive weeks and not been sent home? Thanks in advance!

I know HAWT is probably ok for at least a few more weeks. But that’s not the entire point really. The bullshit with the manipulation and Nigel? Well, it’s all very insulting — that he thinks we’re stupid and can’t figure out the crap they pull. You can’t insult your audience again and again and expect them to keep coming back. (Even though we do, time after time after time.) Karma’s gonna get that rich fool… something has to. It just does.

And watch I will. Sheesh.

for once IÃƒ ¢Ã¢â€š ¬Ã¢â€ž ¢d like to see them land with Dan and pull whatever mediocre choreography Dan has for them off.

You know, really, that would be fine with me. It would make me so happy to see Dan on my tv! And I think that Manatee can pull anything off.

Right now, I think the majority of the peeps getting the pimping are definitely earning it.

I’d agree with this. Although, I do feel that Manatee are getting praised a little more than others who are equally as good. Now, that’s my subjective opinion. Everyone has different ideas about what is “good” and what is not. I still love Manatee though, and I doubt anything will change that. It’s not their fault what the judges say. I’m a bit puzzled now, though, at why Katee got the bad edit in the Vegas episode.

I’ve watched this show since S2, but for some reason, I don’t know the answer to this question. Could someone help me out? My question is, has anyone been in the bottom 3 for 3 consecutive weeks and not been sent home? Thanks in advance!

That would make sense, c-lyn. Besides which, the hat is done in front of the audience right after elims, yes? Not that the producers can’t pull a magic act switching it up, but has anyone ever read reports from witnesses suggesting anything fishy was going on?

As far as pimpage this season, I’d tend to agree, spense. It hasn’t been as over-the-top as in previous years. Twitchington are a little over-praised, IMO (even though I do like them), but the audience already loved Twitch going into the live show, so the judges can’t be making too much of a difference for them anyway.

By: SpenserJ

SpenserJ — Tue, 01 Jul 2008 22:13:32 +0000

Regarding the hat, IÃƒ ¢Ã¢â€š ¬Ã¢â€ž ¢ve been wondering for some time now if perhaps all the different types of dances are put into the hat for the particular couple EXCEPT for the type of dance they did the week before.

This would be my guess as well. Of course, sometimes I’ve wondered if maybe Mia says – I want to choreograph for so and so this week – and then their hat is filled with 5 slips of paper that all say “contemporary”. Truly I have no idea if the hat is really random at all.

As far as the pimping goes, while I think I’ve seen some unfair treatment this season toward some of the perceived lesser partners – I don’t really get a feeling of over-praise for anyone.

Right now, I think the majority of the peeps getting the pimping are definitely earning it.

I said at the beginning of this, that I did not see how these guys were going to be as wonderful as last years dancers. Like I said I have really LOVED a lot of the routines and I LOVE Joshua but I havent been as moved by any of them as much as I was by a whole lot of last years routines. So, I am going to put last year aside for now and look at these guys with an open mind and stop comparing or my enjoyment of this show will not be there so much. Bye Danny and Neil and Sabre and Hok and Dom – just for now. I think that SpenserJ told me that more towards the end of the show they all get better and so, I am going to wait and hope.

Matt still had a chance to survived the boot if he and Khourtni back at bottom 3. It depend on who was on bottom 3. Cause If Matt got booted and Khourtni not, they had to pick a pretty tall partner for Khourtni.

So if only Will, Twitch , Mark in bottom 3, they will kick out Matt. if Matt, Gev and Thayne in bottom 3, he will be saved if the judges still wanted Khoutni around.

Or maybe the judges can just kick both of them out.

But from some past experiences, Thayne and Comfort was at judges bottom feed right now. Unless they can produce a miracle dance at their solo at result show, they were gonna go home.

Comfort can hope that Will and Jessica got in bottom 3 too. Maybe Jessica will be going home. But at top 6, Comfort will be heading home. Unless Nigel really wanted a bgirl in top 5 and Khourtni times will arrive and got to send home in top 6.

My top 5 prediction:

Mark, Will, Joshua, will 100% be there.

Gev and Twicth still not so sure, depend if the judges wanted all 3 hip hop male in top 5 or both Gev and Twitch can stay in the top 3 at top 6 result show. You never know.

For the girls:

Kherington,Katee, Chelsea, Coyrtney will be 100 % in top 5 unless 3 of them somehow ended up in bottom 3 in top 6 results which was pretty impossible.

The last place will fight between Comfort and Khourtni maybe. I do hope the judges send Comfort home, cause she just didnot do very well. Much like Musa in season 2.

At least Khourtni got praise from the contemporary routine and Comfort didnot went they do the Krump.

These spoilers are making me crazy, should I stick with Comfort/thayne or take the plunge and throw Jessica in the mix, this is making me crazy! Can’t wait for the Josh/katee dances, Josh still my number one, even with all the pimping from the judges, love that boy..

By: Hisaki

Hisaki — Tue, 01 Jul 2008 21:41:25 +0000

HAWT = Mark; HAWTsie = Mark/Chelsie. Just to clear that up. lol

Well, that makes sense, c-lyn. I guess they do that for the partners too, once they get to the later rounds. We’ll never really know, though.

Anyway, I’m looking forward to seeing Benji’s choreography again! I thought his routine for Pasha & Sara last year was just fantastic, so hopefully Manatee can pull their routine off at that level, if not higher. Hopefully.

Matt’s stick is back up his ass, isn’t it? And I have a feeling it’s not going to leave anymore whatever the hell he pulls out of the hat. If he even pulls out anything anymore, that is.

By: sumidol

sumidol — Tue, 01 Jul 2008 21:00:09 +0000

What C-lyn said makes sense and Hawt is Mark, oh I thought you were referring to Matt. I loved Mark and Chelsie last week and sure hope they say but I dont believe that they are overpraising Joshua. He really is so good and blows me away that that big ole guy can move so lightly, with such ease. I was not not prepared for him to do that and started liking him the best so far because of it

By: AZIdolFan

AZIdolFan — Tue, 01 Jul 2008 20:57:24 +0000

yay – a benji routine. i’ll always love him and his dancing ( i don’t care how weird he gets!) and i’m so happy joshua and katee get it!!!!!

HAWT (i’m guessing is mark and chelsie) are doing great can’t wait to see their routines.

i’m guessing they are doing two routines to fill the two hours they have been given. which is cool to me but will be super hard on the dancers towards the end of the competition.

Regarding the hat, I've been wondering for some time now if perhaps all the different types of dances are put into the hat for the particular couple EXCEPT for the type of dance they did the week before. For instance, say that for the second week, Joshua and Katee went first in the hat pick. All styles would be put in the hat except for hip hop. They picked Broadway. Therefore, the next couple's hat would be loaded for all dances, except for the style they did the previous week and for Broadway. For the third couple, the hat would be loaded except for the style they did the previous week and for Broadway and the style the second couple picked. And so on and so on. That way, it's assured that no couple dances the same style two weeks in a row and all of the dances that Nigel (or whomever) wants danced in a particular week are covered.

By: Seraphina

Seraphina — Tue, 01 Jul 2008 20:36:36 +0000

Yep, plenty of feelings out there that “the hat” deals out what the judges would prefer, though at times I’ve wondered if it does. Honestly, with some dances/couples, it wouldn’t matter what they picked or how they danced, the judges are all over them. They LOVE their cinderella stories esp, blurred truth or not. Drives me crazy, especially since, in dance, it’s much harder for the general public to catch on to sloppy technique. Whereas everyone has an opinion on talented singing. So the judges on SYTYCD hold a lot of sway, I feel, on casual viewers, moreso than on Idol.

Can I just say I’m crossing everything that Thayne survives another week to hopefully pull a Mia rountine next week? Not at the cost of Matt, but somehow, please keep him a little longer…

Also – looking forward to Benji’s routine!!

To those whoÃƒ ¢Ã¢â€š ¬Ã¢â€ž ¢ve watching this show for a while Ãƒ ¢Ã¢â€š ¬’ is Ãƒ ¢Ã¢â€š ¬Ã…â€œthe HatÃƒ ¢Ã¢â€š ¬ known for coughing-up just the right dances for NigelÃƒ ¢Ã¢â€š ¬Ã¢â€ž ¢s favorites?

…pretty much, yeah. It’s a lovely, beautiful thing for the judges’/producers’ favorites, but it just fucks with all the other contestants. I mean, seriously, if they REALLY “pick their dances out of a hat”, we’d have seen a couple do the same exact style for two weeks in a row already. It’s been 3 full seasons, and we haven’t seen that happen yet.

Then again, there have been times when favorites have gotten the dreaded Quickstep and pulled it off brilliantly (like Mary said, Jamile [hip-hop] and Nick [contemporary] in S1, Lacey [Latin ballroom] & Kameron [contemporary (?)]in S3). But for the most part, the favorites usually end up with the better routines.

Anyway – heÃƒ ¢Ã¢â€š ¬Ã¢â€ž ¢d best not screw with Mark. or IÃƒ ¢Ã¢â€š ¬Ã¢â€ž ¢llÃƒ ¢Ã¢â€š ¬ ¦. umÃƒ ¢Ã¢â€š ¬ ¦.what? IÃƒ ¢Ã¢â€š ¬Ã¢â€ž ¢ll threaten to never watch again, just like I did AI.

Oh, don’t. I’m sure HAWT will be fine (and he’s got a pretty big following to back up any sucky performances). He’s at least Top 6 material, if you ask me. (:

To those who’ve watching this show for a while — is “the Hat” known for coughing-up just the right dances for Nigel’s favorites? I mean it’s obvious that he’s way way up Joshua and Katee’s beautifully coreographed asses. I suppose I shouldn’t be surprised — all these shows are manipulated to within an inch of their lives…. but it makes me sad. Wide-eyed sad, just like finding out about Santa…

Anyway – he’d best not screw with Mark. or I’ll…. um….what? I’ll threaten to never watch again, just like I did AI.

Why do I do this to myself?

I’ll vote vote vote for Matt this week too — just to help out my new friends here at MJ’s.

I was really hoping that Jess/Will would be B3 last week, so that we could wind up seeing a Comfort/Will pairing and see what happens with that. Based on what the spoilers have told us…I have to think it is entirely possible that we’ll get to see that pairing next week. I don’t know that Comfort is really any better than Jessica is…but she is definitely very different. That could make the chemistry different, and maybe, just maybe, with better chemistry, Will can bring the kind of magic to his partner routines that he brings to his solos. We can hope, at least. Granted, who knows what’s going to happen, but that is what I’d like to see happen.

Still completely befuddled about them doing 2 dances this week though. I have no clue why they are doing that, unless they really wanted to go ahead and up the level of difficulty/stress to separate the field a bit more.

SpenserJ — Tue, 01 Jul 2008 17:25:30 +0000

IÃƒ ¢Ã¢â€š ¬Ã¢â€ž ¢m pretty sure that Gevney will be safe though, and thatÃƒ ¢Ã¢â€š ¬Ã¢â€ž ¢s one of the bonus questions.

I’m going to guess you’re right on that, for two reasons. First, they get to go last, and second I think they’re both pretty likable.

If I had to guess, I’d say that Thayne & Jessica have the smallest fanbases individually. And, I don’t think either of their partners have a strong enough base to save them from B3-ville.

I think the judges are making a huge mistake with their constant tongue-bathing of Will, followed by a swift gut-kick to Jessica. While I believe they’ll get their desired result of being able to boot Jessica and re-partner Will, I also think there’s a chance the pity people feel for Jessica will start turning to displaced resentment toward Will.

Plus, I also think that Twitch, Joshua and Mark have far too much of a head start in the popularity department for Will to make up the ground now. Granted, last season Danny spent a fair amount of time in the B3 after his erroneous “arrogant” edit. But, while Will may be a great dancer, he’s certainly no Danny.

By: Hisaki

Hisaki — Tue, 01 Jul 2008 17:20:01 +0000

Thayne has got to be the one to go.

Well, what’s going to determine that are the solos. As long as Thayne is the big pile of suck he was last week, and Matt’s as good as he was, then Thayne will definitely be the one to go. Um, well, I hope. Please let PermaThmile go…

On the other hand, Manatee seems to have been undeniably LUCKY in their picks this week. Mia and Benji- wow!

That’s because they all “pick their dances out of a hat”, no? Not that I don’t like Manatee or anything (I love them, in fact), but for once I’d like to see them land with Dan and pull whatever mediocre choreography Dan has for them off.

On the upside, it looks like my fave couple, HAWTsie, did well, as did my 2nd favorite, Manatee.

I, too, am glad to see that HAWTsie did well. But I was a little disappointed in their picks; I wish I would see them do Broadway or anything other than the foxtrot. Grrr. On the other hand, Manatee seems to have been undeniably LUCKY in their picks this week. Mia and Benji- wow!

To be honest, I’m only looking forward to these two couples.

It seems like the judges will always harp on Will’s talent, Jessica’s lack of talent, Katee/Joshua’s freaking-amazing-standing-ovation-worthy performance, and Matt’s stick up his ass. Can we skip the results show already?

By: sumidol

sumidol — Tue, 01 Jul 2008 17:16:52 +0000

I bet that Matt will last, didnt Thayne really really suck at that type of dancing last week, didnt he dance the waltz already or something similar?? He was stiff and unnatural I thought. Thayne has got to be the one to go. I would normally bet that Comfort goes with him BUT they keep saying Jessica is holding Will back and they really love him and if Comfort is any little bit better than Jessica they might keep her to see what she can do with Will?? Just a thought.

Go Joshua who I would like to see paired up with Courtney sometime, my favorite girl after last week.

Thanks for bringing that over, spense. One more for those who just can’t get enough of spoilers.

Detailed SYTYCD spoilers from idreamofpeace.

I was SHOCKED that it was 2 dances each – the clips are about 15 seconds and pretty unnecessary. The dances seemed the same length.

Jessica/Will – Danced the jive and Mandy MooreÃƒ ¢Ã¢â€š ¬Ã¢â€ž ¢s Ãƒ ¢Ã¢â€š ¬Ã…â€œlyrical jazz.Ãƒ ¢Ã¢â€š ¬ As loqi said, Jessica got totally beat down by the judges EXCEPT Mary and Nigel for the jazz routine. The routine involved using a shirt as a prop and it was actually pretty cool.

Thayne/Comfort – Danced AndyÃƒ ¢Ã¢â€š ¬Ã¢â€ž ¢s Broadway and the Smooth Waltz. Nigel did not think Broadway was good but the others did and they all liked the Waltz.

Matt/Kortni – Danced Cecily and Olisa hip hop and Mambo. None of them liked the hip hop and most of the judges were lukewarm about the mambo. They seemed to like Kortni but ragged on Matt and the chemistry.

Courtney/Gev – Danced C & O hip hop and Broadway (from On the Town). Nigel said it was more funky than hip hop and they all seemed to agree that Courtney was better. They liked the Broadway.

Joshua/Katee – They danced a Mia contemporary and a Benji WCS. Tongue baths all around, but IMO, the WCS was nowhere NEAR as good as Pasha and SaraÃƒ ¢Ã¢â€š ¬Ã¢â€ž ¢s from last year. I really feel like these two could stand there and the judges would cream themselves.

Twitch/Kherington – Danced the Paso and Mia Contemporary. As said before, Twitch was dinged for some of his Paso technique (but was told he heated up halfway through) and the contemporary was beloved by all.

Mark/Chelsie – Danced Mandy Moore jazz and a foxtrot. Well received by all.

Cat Deeley is a doll and when a girl in the audience fainted, she ran to get water for her (while the medics were being sent in).

If you have any questions, IÃƒ ¢Ã¢â€š ¬Ã¢â€ž ¢ll try and get on tomorrow to post more.

ETA: These are not the order the dances went in, but I canÃƒ ¢Ã¢â€š ¬Ã¢â€ž ¢t for the life of me remember except that Jessica/Will started and Courtney and Gev ended.

KrazeeK120 — Tue, 01 Jul 2008 17:08:38 +0000

Gah, I have no idea what to do with my pool picks.

I STILL am sure that Thayne is going to be gone.

I’m fairly certain about Comfort, though, too. This will be her third trip in a row to the bottom. She has not been impressive at all in her solos. Surely, Will and Jessica will end up in the B3 next week. They can send her packing then.

But then again, do they want giant Kourtni dancing with Joshua? Or Twitch? Or Mark? Or GEV (oh boy that would be funny)?

I’m way confused now!!!!

I’m pretty sure that Gevney will be safe though, and that’s one of the bonus questions.

On the upside, it looks like my fave couple, HAWTsie, did well, as did my 2nd favorite, Manatee.

Hisaki — Tue, 01 Jul 2008 17:07:31 +0000

Aw, my heart hurts for all of my Matt-loving MJ friends. Mostly because, I think Matt is f*#ked. I cannot fathom how theyÃƒ ¢Ã¢â€š ¬Ã¢â€ž ¢ve been watching their dances and seeing Kourtni as the better of the two. I thought for sure that Thayne would be the goner this week – but after reading those spoilers, I have to reconsider. I think Nigel will boot Matt if given the chance. And, I think thatÃƒ ¢Ã¢â€š ¬Ã¢â€ž ¢s bullshit.

Thank you for making me feel better. *cries big, fat Mattears in corner*

If Umatt lasts till next week (*prays*)…oh, screw it. Umatt is DEAD if they can even go until next week.

And why the hell are there two dances each anyway? What did they do, squish 7 dances in an hour?
