Oh, and BTW, ((((Twitch))))

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.

Napoleon & Tabitha D’Umo:
Rayven/Jamie, Katee/Joshua, Kherington/Twitch, Chelsie/Mark, Comfort/Thayne, Courtney/Will, Comfort/Mark, Chelsie/Twitch and 1 group routine.

WHEW. I think that’s it. (Did I preface this with “I like stats, too”?? Well, I do. )

I will be voting my little fingers off for Josh tomorrow night. I just lurve him.

Kristin, if you are out there listening, have you done a dance analysis of the top 10

I would like a dance analysis by Kristen too

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.

You can also find all this info at the SYTYCD Season 4 Wiki page.

Katee – 3 Broadway, 3 Contemporary (her style), Pas de Deux (similar to her style), Hip Hop, Samba, WC Swing, Viennese Waltz, Bollywood, Paso Doble

Aside from that, I’m happy Mark/Courtney at least did very well (shove that stick up your ass, Nigel!).

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.

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?

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?

I’m excited to hear TOML on the show!

Hereà ¢Ã¢â€š ¬Ã¢â€ž ¢s an idea, Nappy Tabsà ¢Ã¢â€š ¬ ¦please stop the à ¢Ã¢â€š ¬Ã…“lyrical hip-hopà ¢Ã¢â€š ¬  routines. I think a lot of people are getting sick of them.

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.
