SYTIt'sTuesday

• It took them an awful long time to explain why Ashleigh wasn't in the dance intro tonight. Didn't want to see her go out this way, but I don't think she's going to prove popular enough to get through to tomorrow without dancing. Oh, and now it will be way easier for America to not vote Ryan in either. Dad's prediction was the 2 of them, and I agreed, provided they weren't paired up tonight.
  
  
• Kathryn and Ryan in aw damnit disco. ENOUGH DISCO. Anyway, I didn't see the storyline at all. And it was well done, but still disco, so I don't care anymore. Just don't care.
  
  
• Jakob and Mollee, Viennese Waltz. Jakob is the MIDAS of dancers, because this was my very favorite Mollee routine ever. I really liked it - I thought they danced it beautifully, and it was very sweet. That last lift was SO CUTE.
  
  
• P.S. What's this nonsense about having a finale with a top 6? Poor planning, Fox. That's too many dancers. Although I must admit the back-to-back seasons were too close together, and while I still love this show, even MY enthusiasm has waned.
  
  
• Ellenore and Legacy, Contemporary. I was put off by the "Mr. and Mrs. Smith" rip-off, BUT, can't argue that they did it really well. They were incredibly acrobatic, but I kinda missed more... dancing.
  
  
• Jakob. Holy shit, that kid is so good. SO. GOOD. I'm gonna call it right now - he will be the first best dancer to win this competition.
  
  
• Russell and Ashleigh, SHAAANNNNEEEE SPAARRRKKKKSSSSS!!! Yay. YAY! And Russell KILT this. Just flat out killed it. It was so much fun to watch him do his own style.
  
  
• Mollee. Good on her - this one did NOT look like a cheer routine. It was pretty good.
  
  
• Ryan and Kathryn, Cha Cha. Well he better be good at this, but - still don't think it'll save him. And he WAS good! It reminded me of back during the auditions when I thought he was going to be fun to watch. The ending pose was so fantastic. This was indeed hot.
  
  
• Legacy. The phone was silly, but I still loves me some old school b' boy moves. I would totally give him money if I saw him dancing on the pier.
  
  
• Ellenore. I think she would be the most fun to watch dance spontaneously, like at a party or something. She just looks so improv, and fun!
  
  
• Russell. Santa costume cute, and the wacky thing he did gliding with his feet was unreal. But the teddy bear was silly. What's up with the props tonight, kids?
  
  
• Jakob and Mollee, Broadway. Nicely done - sense of humor, and fun to watch. If Mollee had been paired with Jakob early on, maybe I could've liked her the whole time.
  
  
• Kathryn. Ooohhh... I loved her twisty pretzel moves!
  
  
• Ellenore and Legacy, Hip Hop. Not strange enough. Shane Sparks could've made this even weirder. Like the transformer routine.
  
  
• Ryan. You know who else did better ballroom solos? Pasha. And Dmitry. Plugging his wife was nice, but wish he could've done it without choking himself up.
  
  
• Russell and Ashleigh, Bollywood. Wow, looks like hip hop is good training for Bollywood, because Russell was once again TERRIFIC. I love that kid.
  
  
• Looked like everyone was peaking tonight, EXCEPT - sadly - Legacy and Ellenore. Still think it's likely Ashleigh and Ryan go home tomorrow, and Jakob for the win in the finals!
