SYTYCD season 6 - Top 20 + elimination

It's late and I'm leaving town early in the morning, so I'm keeping it quick tonight.

Too many changes, too much chaos. I'm so disappointed Billy Bell is out. He's such a beautiful dancer. I hope he's back next season. I am also disappointed at how over-produced the show has gotten. Cat looks gorgeous. (I might just copy and paste that sentence every week.)

Channing & Phillip - Jive / Jason
Rockin Robin might be one of the dumbest songs ever. Nice choice Jason. I like this duo. Think they might be good in the next few weeks. As I suspected, Phillip is the tapper that might do OK.

Ashleigh & Jakob - Broadway / Tyce
Ashleigh just can't seem to catch a break, or any attention when on stage. She's constantly over shadowed by Ryan and now by Jakob. I liked the routine and Jakob is an amazing dancer. They need to pair her with the most boring male dancer.

Ariana & Peter - Hip Hop / Tabitha & Napoleon
I was so distracted by the gold lame pants that I couldn't see much else. They were so boring. Neither had any personality. With the judges booting someone tonight, we may not see them dance again.

Noelle (Melanie) & Russell - Fox Trot / Tony & Melanie
Not only does Russell have to tackle ballroom in his first week, but now he has to adapt to a new partner at the last second? Maybe not the best technically and he missed a few steps, but that krumper can dance! How do you spell krump/crump? I'm liking Russell. I hope Noelle makes it back.

Bianca & Victor - Contemporary / Travis
Victor looks a lot like Dmitri.
Sorry Mia and Wade...I have a new favorite choreographer! Are you kidding? These two hit the jackpot on the first show! I have not been a fan of Bianca through a few seasons of auditions, and I loved this. Another beautiful contemporary dancer in Victor.

Karen & Kevin - Cha Cha / Tony & Melanie
Not much to say here. I like Kevin, so I want him to be good. I didn't like this. It was just boring. Boring song, boring choreography, boring performance.
Good opportunity to bring up Glee. If you are not watching Glee, go back and watch it. Best new show in years.

Ellenore & Ryan - Contemporary / Sonya
Love this pairing. Love the routine. Love the performance. Love the whole package - the characters, choreography, music, costumes, make up...
This is a bit of a bold statement, but I think Ryan can win.

Pauline & Brandon - Smooth Waltz / Jason
They did well. Some cool lifts. They should be good to go. Don't have much else to say. Look forward to more from them.

Kathryn & Legacy - Hip Hop / Dave Scott
Now don't tell me he got this style in a random draw. I like Dave Scott. This was fun. Not sure about this pairing, though. I think he's one of the weakest dancers outside his own style and she's flat. The crying, the boring interview in the video package, the wide deer-in-the-headlights eyes. She definitely looks better dirtied up.

Mollee & Nathan - Disco / Doriana
Holy crap! Doriana really brought it. That was fast, fun, hot and hard. Amazing lifts. Nearly rivals Brandon and Jeanette from last season. I didn't used to get excited about disco/Doriana, but she's done some great routines. I loved it!

ELIMINATION
Surprised it's Russell dancing and not Peter. Hmmm... Loved Pauline's solo. Glad she's staying. I was confused by Nigel's statement that she dances with a lot of charisma but not passion. I don't get it. Not sad to see Ariana go. Like that they are going to let Brandon audition again.
