So You Think You Can Dance Top 10: Comfort, Gev Poised To Go Home
0 Comments Ryan Welton on Thursday, July 17, 2008 at 1:02 AM.Forgive me, but I'm just running short on time between Big Brother and So You Think You Can Dance?. Between these fabo-marvelous programs, work and life, I sort of ran out of time tonight.
However, I did watch SYTYCD.
The new pairings looked a bit awkward in spots, and I was none too pleased to see the return of Comfort although she was terrific in her hip-hop routine with Twitch.
For those of you living under an SYTYCD rock, Jessica had to withdraw because of broken ribs. She told the nationwide audience tonight that she had to heal up for the tour.
Not that she was going to win Season 4, but ...
Because I don't have time to detail every routine right this second, I'll note some highlights, some random thoughts I gathered while watching.
Will and Katee were amazing together. Yet, I'm still not a Will Wingfield worshipper, and I strongly suspect he could be eliminated in a shocker this week or next. Seriously.
Don't get me wrong: I recognize he's great, but I'm just not pulling for him.
I am pulling for Katee among others, however, She suffered, I think, her first glaring error of the season during her pas de deux, but she was great nonetheless, particularly the spin and leap into Will's arms at the end.
Others I'm pulling for: Courtney Galliano. She wasn't too hot in a hip-hop routine with Joshua Allen, who was phenomenal tonight on both routines. However, Courtney was kickin' during their rhumba.
I don't want to get all mega-creepy, but Chelsie Hightower is just smokin' hot, and her new one-week partnership with Gev went well ... for her. For Gev not so much, as he looked a bit out of his element.
However, Mark Kanemura was even more out of his element, although it could be due in part to partnering with Kherington Payne whose dancing stock, in my estimation, has gone way down the past couple of weeks. Mark's solo was nothing to write home about either.
Now, all the dancers did solos, and Katee's was terrific. Twitch and Joshua were excellent on theirs, as well. Heck, I have to give it up to li'l Gev as well. While I don't think his technique is probably up to snuff, he has proven to be a quick learner on styles beyond his comfort zone.
Last but not least, Li'l C was a surprisingly astute and cerebral judge. I presume falsely sometimes that these dancers in hip-hop, crump and more urban genres are merely one-trick ponies when it comes not only to dancing but also to choreography and judging.
Color me wrong. I hope we get to see him on the judging panel again soon.
All in all, I think Comfort is a goner for sure. She might be as good a dancer as Kherington and/or Courtney, but she has yet to show an ounce of charisma. She suffers from cold-fish syndrome.
On the guys' side of things, I think Gev's number might be up, which by the way is pretty much how I predicted this round to go. Of course, I predicted Jessica to be ousted first, so Comfort's dismissal would satisfy that. And, I picked Gev next.
However, a shocking Will exit, I suspect, could destroy my predictions from a week ago. If you missed those, read my SYTYCD Top 10 predictions right here.
