Okay, honestly I only read the spoiler one place and, well, I didn't actually read it, I just picked up the vibe of it from random comments to it. I just wanted to post my new icon, hee!!

( Anyhoo, the 'spoiler.' )

( Edited to add ... )

I'm not going to do a breakdown of each routine, just some overall rambling on the pairings and thoughts on the dancers. Also, I've decided to stop spoiling myself. I do like to know the partners, but going into that thread on TWoP, I just get way too much information. Pout.

Also, I really want a still shot of When Neil put his head on Lacey during the judges comment section, I don't remember which routine it was after, but it was an adorable shot and I want!!! So any help in finding it is appreciated. :)

( Quick Top Chef talk/spoilers for tonight )

I wasn't going to do a SYTYCD write-up, but my love for Neil made it impossible not to. He is officially my favorite now. Love, love, love him!!!!!!!!!!!!!

( Thoughts behind the cut. )

Well based on the theory of harper47, they are going to keep dancers based on what would make a good tour number (which I think is BULLCRAP! -- they should be kept based upon their talent, not which luck of the draw great choreography they may get, grrr), then I think we may lose either Pasha (sniff, sniff) or Danny tonight.

Hok may be bottom-three, but his Wade-Jazz number will keep him in the top 10. I doubt Neil/Lauren will be in the bottom-three, but if they are, I doubt they'd want to lose the Wade-devil/angel number. The other two most likely bottom-three'ers are Pasha/Sara and Lacey/Kameron and I doubt they'll want to lose the contemporary routine that L/K did the first week out, so Kameron will be safe. Which leaves Pasha, who as wonderful and adorable and fabulous as he is, hasn't had a kick-ass, raved about number yet and Danny, who I don't think we'll be in the bottom-three unless he really has no fanbase, and while he and Anya have had some lovely, lovely numbers, I think if they have to choose between Danny and say, anyone but Pasha, they'll pick Danny because the others have at least one strong, raved about number.

Sorry, Gerrie, I don't think Dominic will be touching the bottom-three. ( text ) Personally, I can't wait until they repair because I'm dying to see how Sabra and Neil dance together and I'll be bummed if I don't get to see that.

Yes, still H-A-T-I-N-G Lauren with a fiery passion and A-D-O-R-I-N-G Neil and feeling so for him for having to put up with her. Poor guy.

Well, I thought tonight was an AMAZING night of dancing and choreography (but for one routine). Well done, well done.

My thoughts on each routine ( behind the cut. )

Brief recap of my thoughts of all eps before last night's:

- Loved Ricky sooooooooooooo much. SOOOOOOOOOOOOOO pissed that Cedric was picked over him. Wasn't in love with Jimmy, but really liked him and was pissed anew that Cedric was saved and Jimmy was not. Yes, he's great at what he does but she SHOULD not have been picked over Jimmy AND RICKY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Really, really, really pissed over that.

Not a Lacey fan. She did great the first week, but didn't impress as much last week and it didn't help that I've been rewatching S2 eps and even as a non-major Benji fan, I can't help but compare the two and Benji just totally PWNS HER!!!!!!!!!! Sorry. On her own, she does nothing for me, and as Benji's sister, even less.

I love Dominic and Sabra from week two on and they are MY couple now. Love them, love them, love them. I've loved Hok (and Ricky) from day one, so I hope Hok sticks around for quite a while. Shawna blew me away with her solo last week. Faina so should have been kept over Jessi the week before. Arrrgggh.

And sorta-ot, I can't help but compare the ballroom dances to Apolo/Julianne's from DWtS (OMG!!!!!!!! Apolo's joining the DWTS tour for five shows!!!!!!!!!!!! I can't see any, but still ... AAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!) and A/J's are just so superior in my opinion. I'm so frickin' biased it's not even funny!!!

Okay, last night's ( behind the cut. )

I didn't write notes last night and so am just copying my thoughts over from my response to Harper47's lj entry."

( Read more... )

Not my full write-up, that will come tomorrow, but I must say that Natalie/Benji and Heidi/Travis were ABSOLUTELY SHINING! I thought that the H/T routines were best overall, but Natalie and Benji were SO good together and their solos were outstanding, that I can't deny the awesomeness of either couple. (And of course, Donyelle is still the bomb diggety!)

More tomorrow.
