The Best Episode Ever with a Bittersweet Ending (Top 6 Dancers)

8/1/2008

Overall, this episode was fantastic.

Opening Comments: The Judges


The guest judge for this episode is Adam Shankman, Mr. Hairspray. Cat Deeley's skin tone is what Teresa calls "a fake tan gone bad." Mary's skin looks leathery and Julia can't take her eyes off of it. We also can't stop staring at an overly tan girl in front of the judges panel. lol-worthy its redic. Nigel is still a freaky old bastard.
Dancers: Courtney & Mark


Viennese Waltz by Jason Gilkinson to David Cook's "Time of Our Life"



This dance had good emotion. In rehearsal, Mark touches Courtney's boob. Teresa says that Courtney looks young. Teresa looked it up: she's 20.

Aside from the dancing: wtf to music-- "Time of Our Life" mehhhh

Romantic dance- they pulled it off---it went well and was believable.

Nigel totally self-promotes Idol and even says "David Cook" in his response. Nigel comon. This is sytycd. Adam Shankman says he is glad he is not a part of the voting bc it rocked and he predicted he was in store for a great night.

Jazz by the last of the mohicans Sonya to "The Garden" by Mirah


Whoa, sexy outfit. Mark looks like a demon. They make evil sexy faces and totally commit to them. They did a great job. This was TOTALLY Mark's thing.

Teresa loves the song and gets a small notepad out of her purse to write it down. She also loves the green outfit. Miranda thinks it is so cute and says its her favorite of the night so far.

Adam "hairspray" Shankman says it is "SICK!" and gets really pumped up and Nigel mentions the charisma of this couple. This dance was freaky but sharp. Sonya went nuts in the auidence.
Dancers: Katee & Joshua


A Contemporary by Tastey Oreo to Celine Dion's "All By Myself"



Yay! Yay! We LOVE them! This is Tyce's version of his and Mia's ever so turbulent relationship. This dance is BEAUTIFUL! The run, leap into Joshes arms when he catches her is amazing and we love the whole takeoff running theme in this choreography. Very passionate and the lifts are great.

Adam gives a shout-out to guess who? Paula Abdul is in the audience; Joshua looks thrilled about it too. Ok so Paula kisses Tyce on the lips passionately at this point.....Paula has no idea that she just called War on Mia Michaels. Adam says that Joshua & Katee are the "Holy Trinity of sytycd." A standing ovation from all three judges! They cannot say enough how that Josh has had no classical training and is still so fabulous.

Teresa says that she thinks it is cool how Katee is such a trusting partner and just throws herself across the dance floor. Miranda says Katee is just weightless. AMAZING.

A Paso Doble by Jason Gilkinson to "Filet" from Le Reve Original Soundtrack



Cute dress for a Paso Doble! Katee's torso is so long we noticed. omg Josh finally has a chance to dance topless! lol sparkly. Liz likes. OMG this dance was SO dramatic. Julia says that it feels like a movie trailer. Miranda says she'd go see that movie.

Adam says that Josh is "Brilliant". Mary woos her frickin heart out. The most wooing I've heard from her ever. She even turns to Nigel and blows out his hearing aid. "True magic," Mary says. Nigel thinks "Josh could steal the show," but they praise Katee the same....they did great. Liz's favorite part is the end after the routine is done; Joshua drags Katee across the floor. Joshua looks so manly and "300"-ey. The camera catches Nigel making a very "hot and bothered" face, which Teresa couldn't get enough of. It's hilarious. We did a rewind on that.

We find out about So You Think You Can Dance Austrailia (Jason Gilkinson is a choreographer for it).
Dancers: Twitch and Chelsie


The Mambo by Tony Meredith & What Not To Wear Woman, Melanie to music "Ahora Me Toca A Mi" by Victor Manuelle



In rehersal Twitch had to pull up his pants to his waist. Haha it looked funny. Whoa to Chelsie's dress--- HOTTIE---Adam thinks she is an "animal" out there. We love her shoes with little red frill on the heels. She was "on fire," but the judges wanted a little bit more animal from Twitch.

lol for the slo mo view of Twitch watching Chelsie to make sure he was doing his fancy footwork right. Miranda thinks Twitch looks awakward, but Mary gives huge props to Twitch for picking the Mambo up. We think this routine was cute!

Almost forgot---the shimmy on the knees! hahah! It's pictured above. Liz and Julia love the shimmy move and love to shimmy in general.

A Hip Hop by Tabether & Napolean to "Control" by Vitamin String Cortet


This was a conductor dance with some crazy outfits and teased hair. Liz wasn't feeling this so much tbh. Julia points out that control is a Janet Jackson song and Teresa agrees. Miranda really liked it. Teresa wonders why the conductor stick is green. You know what, probably to really stand out since they are wearing white pieces. This dance wasn't about skill; it was about facial expressions-- it was all about character. They pulled them off well, but good "locker" moves, using some Toni Basil lingo.

Adam points out that "good choreographers make good directors" **AHEM**LIKE HIM. lol. Tabether & Napolean bring something different and intellegent to the dancefloor. The judges said Chelsie did great even though it wasn't her genre and that she definately kept up with Twitch!
The Solos


Twitch did his solo to "Midas Touch" by Midnight Star. In his solo he reveals his gold grill and then busts out his gold grandpa glasses and continues to dance. Its was pretty silly. Get this. Cat Deeley then puts on the glasses and WHAT? THE GRILL?! Teresa says, "yuuuuck." Yes Cat Deeley has Twitch take out his grill that he had danced with and eagerly puts it into her mouth "spit and all." Then all three judges, followed by Cat, do the "forreal" shoulder move. Wow, Adam is just loving it even though he is so not even in on it. Everyone is trying to be in on it. Twitch is shocked.

Chelsie did her solo to "When I Grow Up" by The Pussycat Dolls. Great hips and legwork- she looks so good in her outfit, she has star quality! We love to watch her!

Katee's solo was danced to "Can't Stop" by Marroon 5. She dances her signature moves, which never look bad.

Josh's solo was to "Like That" Memphis Bleek. Josh is entertaining! Uh oh booty shakin going on. Liz loves his begging face when Cat is giving out his numbers! During this time Julia reveals that she likes both Twitch and Joshua, but wouldn't date Joshua. (apparently Joshua is in Julia's 'friend zone' lol)

Courtney danced a solo to "Rock Your Soul" by Elisa. Liz loves this song btw. Teresa wrote it down in her little book. Liz has to say that Courtney stepped it up for her. Miranda thinks its okay but always the same stuff; same moves.

Mark danced to "Bum Like You" by Robin. Omg his shirt is gross. Huge distraction for Liz. Mark dances vogue to his digits read out loud by Cat and Cat plays along. They don't almost make out this time, but we think Cat has a thing for Mark. He's tall?



The Results

Predicted that Mark and possibly possibly Courtney would go. Courtney had stepped it up though, so Chelsie may be in danger. Top 2 prediction: Katee & Joshua.

The results show began with a group dance to "The Rose" by Bette Midler choreographed by Mandy Moore. Not the pop star. haha. Okay we liked it! Julia thought maybe it was a Mia. Teresa and Miranda couldn't stop thinking of Napolean Dynamite.

Cat Deeley came out with a fan blowing her hair and quickly says, "ok enough."

Top 6 Solos for Results Show:

"Almost Lover" by A Fine Frenzy for Courtney

Katee- Cute top! wow she's hottt

Joshua's solo to "I Can Make You Dance" by Zap ATTN: JOSH GOT HIS BRACES OFF!!!!!!!!! OW!!!

Chelsie did fabulous! She was not wearing her heels and doing a lot more than shaking her hips. She stepped it up and her outfits are hott.

Aww Twitch. He did his solo to "Don't Worry, Be Happy" by Bobby McFerren. Adorable!


Musical Guest: Lady GaGa. grosss!

Guest Dancer: omg to Lil Demon! Teresa says they call him that because he had to sell his soul to the devil for those moves. We wonder where they found this kid. Cat Deeley makes a Star Wars reference. We love this little boy!
The results came down to Katee & Joshua being safe first. We were afraid for Chelsie bc all night Cat had been giving it away that it would be her going home. It plays into our conspiracy episode blog. We think Cat Deeley knows from the beginning of the night and is not doing a good job of hiding it. More later...basically we knew it was Chels bc of Cat's giving it away.

Chelsie & Mark went home. Chelsie cried bc it was so overwhelming to see her video and how far she has come. I liked that she is "real." She has an amazing career ahead of her. Can't wait to see her on tour.

Mark has such a great perspective and attitude despite some of his weirdness. His attitude was great throughout the whole competetion. Good for him! I like him. He hugged Twitch and acted excited for him. He's awesome and just "gets it."
