Drat! Mark needed the HAWT Paso Doble instead of the snoozing, non-vote generating Viennese Waltz.
Yaaay Katee and Joshua together again!
Oh no, did my Chelsie get a bad critique??!! I’ll be doing double time voting. And is it just me or do they usual record on Tuesday nights?
Additional info from TWoP:
David Cook’s TOML was the song used for Mark and Courtney’s Viennese Waltz.
Yay magic rainbowz!
How cool is that?
I was wondering after Imagine if the’d do TOML…only made sense to me. I’m hoping no awkward cuts in the song this time.
Mark and Courtney together and they get a waltz….. Hmmmm how predictable was that! Just a quick question, I am going to be in the states on holiday on Wed, Whooot!!! What time is the show on the east coast and what network??
geekygirl, the results show is usually on at 9:00 pm and appears on the FOX network. What state will you be in? Maybe you can get a newspaper that day to make sure about the time?
I agree about Mark and Courtney’s dance being predictable. Now I just wonder who the judges want to leave this week?
Here’s an idea, Nappy Tabs…please stop the “lyrical hip-hop” routines. I think a lot of people are getting sick of them. 1-2 per season is great. But, I really don’t need to see it every. single. week.
ITA. The only one I liked was the “No Air” routine the first week. The rest..eh. It’s getting kinda predictable. That said, I’m not surprised if Nap had the bitch face on after Twitch and Chelsie’s routine. Chelsie is not much of a Hip Hop dancer.
Looking forward to Magic Rainbows. Hope they nail it.
One of the spoilers at TWOP says that Chelsea got praised a lot, Twitch maybe not so much. And that the waltz is beautiful and well done, and that Mark and Courtney get a lot of praise for their numbers. Sounds like no bus throwing for Mark. I also read that Josh gets a lot of praise.
I’m excited to hear TOML on the show!
I am also excited to hear it!
In the beginning of the season, I read (probably here) that Mia wanted to use one of Jason’s songs for a dance. Do you think that will happen?
Shocker - Katee gets contemporary! Kristin, if you are out there listening, have you done a dance analysis of the top 10, that is counting how many times Comfort got hip-hop (just about every week) versus Joshua or how many times Katee got ballroom versus how many times Chelsea has had it? One of the joys of this show is watching the the dancers try something new and then excel (like Hok and Dominic last year). I think I saw Chelsie roll her eyes last week when she said that she had to do Argentine Tango twice!
I would think that some of Jason’s numbers could be beautiful for a Mia choreography.
Katee got contemporary again? Yay Magic Rainbows.
This show needs more hip-hop choreographers than Napoleon and Tabitha. Scratch that, they need all sorts of new choreographers for all dance styles. And bring back Shane and Wade, and have Mandy Moore do more. She hasn’t done a pair routine for a couple weeks now, right?
From the spoilers I’ve read, Mark and Courtney have the best night (though everyone does well). The Sonya jazz routine is right in Mark’s wheelhouse, and he and Courtney kill the routine (in a good way). And the Aussie choreographer (Jason Gilkison ) who choreo’s their Viennese Waltz is magnificent, and Mark is awesome, and his solo has him shirtless. Did I mention Mark is awesome?
I guess there’s one mistake, in particular, made by Josh and Katee (a not perfect lift was mentioned) that totally gets overlooked by the judges. But, whatever.
Vote till your fingers bleed. No one is safe.
I would like a dance analysis by Kristen too, that would be very interesting I think. Gosh, who knows who will go this week, it is soooo close. I really like them all -
You are right - I don’t think we have seen Mandy Moore since Kourtni left. Where is she? Definitely need Wade Robson back. I read a rumor that Wade is tied somehow to Twitch and thus could not appear on the show.
I agree, I do like all the people left on the show. I think TPTB want Katee to be the TOP female dancer. I am not sure about the guys…
I think they pretty clearly want Joshua to win it.
Geekygirl — the Wed night show (the performances) starts at 8PM on the east coast…on FOX. The results show on Thursday night starts at 9PM. Enjoy!
Call me naive but I think they just want a talented, diverse, and personality filled Top 4 finale which will bring in the ratings. They should be happy with any of them winning. I feel each of the top 6 could pair with any of the others and really bring it. Oh, and BTW, ((((Twitch))))
Oh, Lord help us. Magic Rainbow? Come ON. I mean, DC’s fantastic and everything, but did it really have to be Magic Friggin’ Rainbow? I think I’ll just force my dad to mute the TV when the Viennese Waltz is going on…
Aside from that, I’m happy Mark/Courtney at least did very well (shove that stick up your ass, Nigel!). :D
Awwww, I heart my potty-mouthed Hisaki…
OMFG, Magic Rainbows on SYTYCD this week?! Sweet!
I will be voting my little fingers off for Josh tomorrow night. I just lurve him.
I’m not Kirsten, but I posted something last week about which styles each individual performer has gotten so far. I added the routines for this week in there, as well, and am reposting it below.

WHEW. I think that’s it. (Did I preface this with “I like stats, too”?? Well, I do. :))
THANK YOU! You did a great job!
SARAH! Wow and thanks for all of that
Thanks guys for the schedule! Here I am up at the crack of dawn with the time difference, so hope I can stay awake tonight! How sad am I, on holiday and want to watch television. Whoot!!! I get to see their performances on a big screen, I am easily pleased.
Wow Sarah, awesome job compiling all that information! Thank you! I like that you provided all the choreographer pairings as well.
Twitch got third place during The Wade Robson Project on MTV a few years back. That might be why Wade can’t choreograph anything this season. It kinda makes you wonder if that had anything to do with Twitch not making the top 20 last season. But, then again Lauren was still on the show when she had previously worked with Tyce. So who knows?
I’m fairly certain that this is the week we lose Twitch. I’m not even sure I can watch results night - I think I’ll be too sad. How I got so emotionally invested in this, I’ll never understand! I just know that a final 4 without Twitch will make for a much less fun show for me.
you amaze me Sarah!
They’re showing LAST weeks results show on Fox right now…Wednesday, 8 pm EST, and no performances! And it is the same channel I watch it on each week. Where is it? Can anyone let me know?
Judy, it’s just a one hour show tonight, and it comes on at 9 pm EST. :)
Yea I almost freaked out when it first came on! It took me a minute to figure out what was going on haha!
Found it at 9 pm, watching it now,
what was the song called that sonya did for mark and courtney?
