Tonight, everybody ate it at least once. The shame of season five is that I’m not particularly happy seeing anyone win. It’s like America’s Next Top Model season 7 or Top Chef season 5. This has been largely disappointing, largely because of a lot of poor production decisions–particularly casting and direction. Nigel was right, people are voting for choreography for the most part. Because 1 good piece out of 10 makes it look like there’s only one good couple.

P.S.- Brandon’s solo was good. For the third+ time. He danced it both location auditions and, I believe, in Vegas. C’mon, if you’re such a crazy good dance, let’s see something else. And less of your junk.

I’m just going to comment here for the first time ever to show my appreciation for your blog.

Honestly, you give the most straight-up, best recap of sytycd. I really appreciate how you don’t play favorites and have obscene biases like other bloggers do, and your recaps are like a refreshing breeze.

I don’t always agree, but I’ve just got to say thanks for writing it every week.

Brandon’s solo was the same music, but a different solo.

I think Evan is just apologizing that he’s still on the show at the end of his solos.

While he should’ve gone home last week if this show was strictly on a skill curve (and quite possibly before that), I felt Melisser sabotaged both their dances in the interest of pawning off the blame on her bad partnering for her inevitable failure.

I like Melisser okay, but she brought absolutely nothing last night, which left Shorty dancing for his life. I just get the feeling she’s feeling sorry for herself, which isn’t attractive on a dance show.

Since the other half of the finale went home last week, I can only hope sense prevails this week. At this point it should come down to Brandon and Kayla. Although I secretly hope Jeanine wins, b/c I’m a sucker for her.

No making fun of Nigel’s inappropriate “You can’t tie down talent?”? Are you slipping or is it just redundant that Nigel sucks?

I could barely stand to watch it last night, knowing Jason has gone and Evan is still there. I think I fast-forwarded through the whole show in about fifteen minutes, stopping only for the routines. I have come to detest Evan and his pale pathetic clown shtick. In my mind he is now David Schwimmer.

I was really impressed by Kayla last night. I know everyone’s been hating on her as the judges little princess, but she fucking delivered on that (utterly fabulous) Stacey Tookey contemporary number.

I miss Janette though. Boo hoo.

Jeanine’s solo really surprised me. A couple of times she was doing the dance move..pause..dance move thingy. Looked more like someone demonstrating different moves than a dance. I really hope she doesn’t get sent home, she’s easily been the best dancer overall.

Replace “best” with “my favorite”. I don’t know enough about dance to rank the dancers by technical ability.

Ugh, while I was watching I was mentally inserting Janette into every routine and just *knowing* she would kill everything. What a disappointment.
