Apologies for not blogging last week during top 10 week. It was a crazy week. I was excited to see the all-stars, but disappointed the judges eliminated Makenzie instead of Jenna. Not a surprise that Nico was eliminated with Makenzie.
This was a great week for the show, because not only did the all-stars showed up to dance with the contestants, but they also choreographed the pieces. These all-stars are very talented and the results made for a very good show.
Mia Michaels' group routine was definitely very Mia. Tucker was a revelation here - his freaky, long-haired centerpiece stole the show.
The guest judge was Jenna Elfman, who at least had some experience as a professional dancer before she turned to acting.
Most favorite routines
1) Jenna and Mark Kanemura's jazz. This was one of the weirdest and best routines I've ever seen on the show. Mark is already freaky and has apparently been learning more freaky as one of the lead dancers for Lady Gaga. This jazz should not work, but it did. It was so strange that Mr. Y and I didn't even notice the song was a Korean pop song until we saw the routine for the second time.
2) Amy and Travis's contemporary. Lucky Amy and lucky Travis. This was the perfect combination of routine and dancer. Amy really rose up to the occasion and did not appear cutesy at all.
3) Jasmine and Twitch's hip hop. Jasmine did the difficult thing and matched Twitch in his physicality. The routine was fun and cute and definitely worth watching again.
Least favorite routines
Again there was really only one routine I wasn't a huge fan of - Paul and Comfort's hip hop. Comfort put together a great routine and danced it well. The problem was that Paul couldn't quite keep up with her and the gap was obvious. Paul might be in trouble this week.
Eliminations
This is the last week the judges and choreographers had any say on who is going home. I'm surprised they waited this long to turn the votes over to America - usually it happens much earlier than this.
Hayley and Jenna were the bottom two girls, and Tucker and Fik-Shun were the bottom two boys. I'm glad they finally got rid of Jenna, even though she danced her best routine this week. She has been in the bottom so often only to be saved by the judges. I was sad to see Tucker go because he is a great dancer, but there was no way the judges were going to get rid of their anointed favorite Fik-Shun. There is no male contemporary dancer left in the competition.
Predictions on who will be in trouble this week:
Boys: Paul and Aaron
Girls: Hayley and Jasmine
