Final Scores….

Joshua and Chelsea – 17
Mark and Comfort – 13
Twitch and Katee – 17
Will and Courtney – 17

If I factor in the solos, and individual performances amongst the partner dances, my prediction for bottom two:

Guys: Mark, Will.
Girls: Comfort, Courtney (but maybe my beloved Katee).

Going home: Comfort and Mark.

[Updated] SYTYCD Predictions

without comments

I hate to do two posts so close together but whilst here (in CA) we don’t yet know who are the first two to leave the top 10 (well, top 9 + Komfort) I wanted to go on record with my final 4 prediction:

  • Final 2 guys – Will and Twitch
  • Final 2 girls – Katee and Chelsea

My final two prediction in a week or two.

Oh – going home tonight? Er, Mark and Komfort

[Update] Ok, America got it 100% wrong. Actually I was split between Mark and Gev but no way should Kherrington have left tonight. Shame on you all who voted for Komfort. But, it doesn’t affect my final 4 prediction.

SYTYCD 7/02 – Wrap up

with one comment

A little disappointed in tonight’s show. Maybe you can’t live-blog a show and still be involved in it? For the most part, the judges seemed to agree with me in most places. Mary surprises me a lot with her comments on ballroom routines, I am sure she would not say the same if it was a couple she was teaching.

Tough to come up with overall placings but ….. my top 2:

  • Katee and Joshua
  • Kherrington and Twitch

and bottom 2:

  1. Courtney and Gev
  2. Komfort and Thayne

SYTYCD 7/02 – Courtney and Gev: Broadway

without comments

Ok, this is what I think of as Broadway. Top marks for yellow dance pants, Courtney. I think they are portraying the story well, plenty of lines being hit well, maybe a little too much in the face rather than in the bodies? Er, it’s over and I haven’t really decided what I think.

Score: 8/10

SYTYCD 7/02 – Katee and Joshua: West Coast Swing

without comments

We had Jive, now it’s time for it’s laid-back cousin. Last season (season before?) of course we had Benji, the undisputed King of Swing (at least in his own mind) so there is a lot to live up to.

Some difficult connections going on here, nice and laid back like WCS should be. Can’t help feeling they’ve dumbed Benji’s routine down a little. My favourite girl Katee isn’t doing it for me in this routine. Hmm… I’m left feeling “so?” at the end of that.

Score: 7/10
