So You Think You Can Dance? Oh yeah? C'mere a minute!

I saw the feelgood Debbie Allen liberal guilt scholarship! I must've missed Mary blathering on about something or other, because I remember being quite calm instead of seething with the usual bloodhate I have for that Botox victim.

End of Cedric and Whatserface's dance went like this:

Debbie Allen: Cedric, I love you and therefore am going to say tons and tons and tons of positive things about you to deflect from the fact that once you leave your style, you can't dance your way out of a paper bag.

Mary: Dude, I said you should have gone last week and I was outvoted. Don't think THAT'S happening again...!

Nigel: Yeah, Mary OTM, you are total weaksauce.

Cedric: I just wanted to say that I'm up here to tell all aspiring dancers out there that they have to study if they want to do something like this.

Nigel: Well yes, this is true.

Mary: Amen! (to self: Now get the fuck off my stage!)

Debbie Allen: You can come study with me!

Mary: What, for free?

Debbie Allen: (to self: oh shit this is live television) ... I'll give you a scholarship!

Cedric: HAHAHAHAHA SO YOU THINK YOU CAN DANCE PWNED! DEBBIE ALLEN PWNED! I = AWESOMES!

Cedric's Partner: guys, I'm still here, please pay attention to me

Cat: I'm British and pretty! Think about my rack during this next break.

i wish televisionwithoutpity would replace all recaps with dan-caps!!!

What the? I saw all that! I must've missed some other schmoe's judgmental commentary. I'm also for Dan replacing that one site, which I forgot that I usually don't mention by name. But be nice to Cat, she is far from being a bog-standard British totty.

I was disappointed that the hip hop routine (which itself was meh) had "Oh, Timbaland" instead of "Sinnerman."

hip hop was not as bad as the crumping at beg. of show

I liked the krumping, except it wasn't krumping.

When Sabra said she wanted to be a stand up comedian, I pictured her doing a Jeannie Darcy routine.

who got canned? i was out drinking.

Jesus (noooooooo!) & Jessi

Yeah, Jesus should have stuck around longer. I don't think the new Pasha/Sara partnership helps either of them.

Should have been Lauren & Neil.

REALLY should have been Lauren and Neil!!!

uh, i forget, who is jesus?

HE DIED FOR YOUR SINS

oh, HIM!

I guess if L&N are going to go, they should go together. They don't deserve to have any other partners.

I felt so bad for Jessi. Her cha-cha routine was fantastic and her solo was the least awful of the bottom four females. (I'm especially disappointed in Sara. She made breaking look like her weakest style.) But maybe they felt that keeping Jessi in the competition would mean putting her health at risk.

I don't understand the judges' Anya/Danny love at all. They're the only pair with zero charisma.

Laughing uncontrollably when your reality life is on the danger while the head judge is holding forth = charisma surely!

Along w/ Jimmy, this has been the second straight week that I dancer I liked (or really liked in Chuy's case) got Nigeled.

Also, has anyone noticed who directs the show?

I've noticed.

Same one?

I hope not!

y, according to imdb

Wow, maybe they should take a week off more often.

Kameron/Lacey = A+++++++++ for dancing to Inner Life's "Ain't No Mountain High Enough".

Seems like every Wade Robson routine has some variation of zombies, hunchbacks, vagabounds, or comic book characters in it.

Or maybe he has watched Thriller way too many times.

To be technical, it wasn't comic book characters last night, it was definitely more old skule cartoons, all that was missing from Neil's getup was a handlebar 'stache.

Kameron/Lacey = A+++++++++ for dancing to Inner Life's "Ain't No Mountain High Enough".

Whoa whoa whoa whoa!!! Awesome!!!

It totally makes up for some of the weaker song choices this year.

The best part aside from the insanely OTM song selection is that Lacey appears to be chewing gum.

Kameron seems to be a good supporting partner, but Lacey has overshadowed him every week, leaving him in the background to "be there for her".

I actually enjoyed the Pasha/Sara hi-nrg swing thing more than I expected to.

Would have liked to see Anya go home instead of Shauna, really.

Totally. Shauna had the best solo of the ladies, who've been wimping out without their partners. (I think last season had stronger female dancers.) Plus, she danced to Zombie!

Is this Inner Life thing a big deal on the other side of the Atlantic? I don't get the love.

It's big on whatever side of the Atlantic appreciates euphoric dance music.

I was hoping Shauna could hang on for another week. Being partnered with Cedric was sort of a no hope situation I guess. She didn't have a bubbly personality, but did have really great technique/pathos in her routines.

I was hoping Jaimie would go. She's a bit too fairy princess for me at times. Her solo was pure fluff.

Re: Inner Life - it's impressive they used such a hip version of the song. It was the Larry Levan remix of the original Patrick Adams/Greg Carmichael production. Not the Marvin Gaye or Diana Ross version. I guess this might only resonate with disco geeks.

I don't think the new Pasha/Sara partnership helps either of them.

HI DERE WORDS, I WD LIKE VERY MUCH TO EAT U NOW

Yeah, totally.

I never lost faith! I thought there would be a huge height disparity, though, but Sara is not that much shorter than Pasha.

Did the euphoric bits of the Inner Life song get edited out? Kind of seemed mid-tempo and unremarkable.

The full length mix is ten and a half minutes.

I am having a hard time figuring out who is awesomest, Dominic, Sabra or Sara

i am really liking dominic!!! sabra rocks too. wait who is sara?

I guess this might only resonate with disco geeks.

Evidently.

Sara is the b-girl who rocked the swing dance with Pasha this week. She seems to be more versatile then you'd expect her to be.

That's because she's only been into breaking for a few years now, while she's been training in other forms for much longer.

lol @ the mental dweebs on that other message board who thought sincerely thought that Dom was teh retarded when he said that Cat was French.

That was awesome. When he said his secret crush was on Cat, I thought, "Man, that's cheesy." But the French comment made it worthwhile.

where can i watch replays of ppls dances other than kameron and lacey?

I guess the easy answer is to search around youtube/daily motion using "sytycd" and see what's been recently added. You could also go to the dreaded idolforums and find the video thread(s).

Sara, according to her ever-shifting bio, had dabbled in various forms but never seriously studied anything before she became a b-girl.

teh, you won't get far on Youtube search with "SYTYCD" -- best to search for the names of individual dancers and something like top+16 or whatever. Don't know about Daily Motion, though. I might add that I occasionally upload some higher-res to the old bloggo, and I'm taking requests!

yeah i searched title yesterday and got all these instructional videos. thanks for the tips!
