SYTYCD season 6 - Top 8

Sorry for the delay. I was at a really fun Christmas party last night. Also, I'm not commenting on everything.

Top to bottom, best performance show ever! They had the best choreographers and they all put amazing routines on the floor. The only thing that tainted it was Ashleigh's whining that they wouldn't let her dance (hello, insurance?) and another horrible solo and plea for Ashleigh's return by Ryan. I'm really over Ryan, Ashleigh and Legacy. They're just not as good as the rest. I thought I was done with Mollee too, until that vienese waltz with Jakob.

MOLLEE & JAKOB / Vienese Waltz / Jason

Breathtaking. Adam was right...I could have watched that for 2 hours. I really thought that Mollee was going to look out of place in a mature routine with a superior dancer, but she was good. Loved her costume too.

ELLENORE & LEGACY / Contemporary / Travis

Loved the choreography. I'm really glad Travis is showing a different, more aggressive side (as much as I have loved his other routines). Unfortunately, I couldn't get as excited as I would have liked because of Legacy. Totally overmatched by his partner.

KATHRYN & RYAN / Cha Cha / Jason

That was the hottest cha cha ever on this show. Kathryn was transformed into a different woman. She was fearless and super hot. Jason is definitely my favorite ballroom/latin choreographer. Luckily for Ryan (and me) I was so mesmerized by Kathryn that I didn't even notice him.

Let's talk about RUSSELL. Why does that poor guy keep losing his partner at the last second? Adaptability...another reason to give him props. He is so fun to watch. Like Schech pointed out, he's kind of this season's Twitch. Amazing in his own style...you'd never expect him to be able to adapt so well to other styles...so exciting to watch his evolution as a dancer on this show.

If Ellenore, Kathryn, Jakob and Russell aren't in the finale, I might have to stop watching. Of course, that's an idle threat.

RESULTS SHOW

I can't believe Ellenore and Mollee are in danger and Ashleigh got through on a sympathy vote. Ridonkulous. What was that Wonder Girls performance? Are Americans seriously supposed to like that? Legacy's solo was so cool - he spun for 30 seconds straight.

Mollee looked genuinely surprised and sad to be eliminated. I have to think all the girls thought they were in for the last 24 hours since Ashleigh didn't dance. That's a crappy deal. I don't think Ashleigh should have been eligible. If you can't dance, how can you get votes? And if she can't dance tomorrow and the next day, is she still in or does Mollee come back? I guess it really is a popularity contest. I honestly think both Ashleigh and Ryan made the finale because they are married. The teenage girls who are voting are suckers for a romantic love story. Ugh! Such good performances last night and now I'm left with an icky feeling about 2 of the dancers in the finale. I'm going to make sure I have a bucket ready for when they dance together next week.

Oh, side note...I read in US Weekly that season 5's Jason and Jeanette are an item.
