SYTYCD - Returns!

My summer pleasure is back- SYTYCD - the search for America's favorite dancer!! I absolutely love this show. Each week, choreographers team up with dance partners and pull together a show that brings some of every style to the screen.

Season 2 - the year of Ivison, had me hooked by a great group of performers. Season 3 was just as addicting, though I may have felt a little less connected to the contestants. Season 4 looks to hold me on the line with both the performances and the contestants. Last night the top 20 performed. USUALLY, there is a stand out front runner as well as a stand out bottom two! As of last night- I don't have a bottom two! I do have a few front runners for favorites- but honestly, they were all fantastic! I was stunned. I had actually hoped that a few would fall flat on their faces. I even thought the pairings were much more fair this year as well. There are no completely awful couples.

So here they are- my favorites:

Top girls-

Rayven -

Just fantastic! Love her personality. The ballerina brought the hip-hop! Can't wait for more!

Jessica -

I think she's the fun one this year, and will be fantastic when she leaves her hair down....the tango-not a cute look for her (two words: spray tan -Please!)

Kherington -

This girl is CUTE! I love that she is partnered with Twitch! The two happiest people on the show, together *sigh*

Least favorite -

Susie- okay she reminds me of a man but is an okay dancer

Katee - I still just don't love her. She was awesome with Jacob, but otherwise, just not my favorite.

The rest of the girls fade into the middle for me - so far!

Favorite Guys:

Twitch-

I'm sure he won't be the best at everything, but I sure hope he sticks around until the top 10. Dude is awesome, happy, fun, and a great partner. Have I mentioned I have a crush! I want to see him on the tour!

After this, its a tie between William and Thayne for likely to be the best. William is strong, hot, and contemporary (always good at everything) - Thayne reminds me of Benji (winner season 2) and I think he has the partnering ability (and hips) to make anything work.

Dark horse, but amazing - Joshua

He carried Katee in their hip-hop and will literally be the only reason the couple stays around. I just hope he can shine in other styles.

Honorable mentions: Jamie and Mark - both excellent in their own thing. I hope Jamie gets a west coast swing night and Mark for sure did Mia proud with his quirkiness.

Least favorite Dudes:

Gev - i think choreography may have hurt him, but also I just don't think he's that great. Tiny white guy (can you say DOM). - probably only safe because his solo will rock.

Chris - Definitely not a tree, but not really standing out either. Pack your bags- your solo will not keep you going!

Matt & Marquis....who are you and what dances did you do again? either of you could go and I wouldn't mind either!

Best Performances:

Chelsea & Mark - I think Mia did wonders with them!

Jessica & William - I think had the HARDEST dance of the night and were fantastic, mostly!

*special mention to Joshua- He was phenomenal. Also Rayven- You rocked as well! Your partners just didn't keep it up!

Worst Performances:

Matt & Kourtne - I just don't care about you two!

Courtney & Gev - sorry about your choreography - def. not your fault.

Prediction: Susie/Marquis, Courtney/Gev (NOOOO), Matt/Kourtne
