I do remember reading about a standing ovation before the show aired...hmmmm

I was just stating what is being said to friends of mine in Miami. I put "APPARENTLY" ahead because it's not a valid spoiler.

I think the results are taped the same day they are revealed, but earlier in the day. I read during one of the earlier seasons, that they draw the next dance on the same day as the last results show.

Okay, I finally got through last night's show. First, Mia needs to stick with choreography and leave the judging to someone else. For whatever reason she has something against all the girls.

With that said, I really liked Courtney and Gev, and Twitch is probably lucky I'm married, or I'd become his stalker. lol I just adore him.

I totally disagree with Mia's critique of Jessica's hip hop routine. I thought she was great, and pretty much my eyes were on her the whole time, I was amazed at her movement and how natural it looked.

Team Twitchington!

The show that was on last night, is taped like 2 or 3 days in advance of this one, as shown by KL's "spoiler" that a couple was going to get a standing ovation.
They've got 3 days in between to learn the big choreography number that'll open up tonight.

I think there's a "rest" day probably in there too.

You kinda have to think about this show as two different shows, one that's mostly live, and one that definitely isn't.

Darrelh, regarding the Core Rhythms workout video, I really like it. It's a fun workout that I actually look forward to, which is saying alot for me.

You're exercising and learning to dance at the same time. And what's so unique about the video is that you can change views and view the instructor from behind like you're standing right behind her, which is what I prefer because I'm then moving in the same direction, whereas when you're facing the instructor you're moving in opposite directions. Also, you can choose to view just the specific body part you're moving.

It also has a help function where the instructors slow their movements completely down and show you on another person one-on-one how the movements are done. It's totally different than other videos, it really makes it easy to learn, you can feel the workout, and the instructors are incredibly enthusiastic in a way that motivates you.

That makes sense that the dances are filmed in advance...but how could they do the results beforehand?

The two different show concept makes sense.

Okay, that makes sense. I was going to come in here and ask how Nigel has the clips all lined up to match his critique if the show is live (DH and I were both going, "How do they DO that?"). If the performance show is pre-taped, than that would give them time to edit in the clips. This is our first season watching this show.

Mary seemed a tad calmer this week than last (or maybe we're just getting used to her ). I did get a kick out of Cat mimicking her shrieking at one point, and both Mia and Nigel putting their fingers in their ears at another. I'll bet she puts the sound people thru fits trying to get her levels right.

I remember hearing last year that the Wednesday night show is taped on Monday nights. I am pretty sure tonight's show is live.

Even if Weds show is taped, it isn't for the audience who votes. If the results are already known, then the audience is voting for nothing, which would cause massive problems. Either way, my head hurts, lol.

The word "apparently" denotes fact, as in something happened, and a story is being told about it, which is why there might be confusion. I thought perhaps a poll from some place put Susie in its top ten, which then went around the internet and has been translated to something else. I think she'll be leaving bc of what the choreographer said about her skill level though.

I do like Mia's choregraphy as well, her's was my fav performance from last week, but when she and Mary get together it's like they forget they are not on some school yard. I wish Debbie Allen was judging, but then Will would have to go and I like him so far.

Bottom 3: Chelsea and Thayne, Susie and Marquis, Comfort and Chris

My guess to go: Susie and Chris

I thought Susie was really bad. I have no strong feelings about the guys.

does anyone here ever think that they deliberately pick some weaker dancers for the finals so that eliminations are easier for the first few shows?
then the tension builds as the better dancers and their fans get to know each other.

has to be.

Not surprised for Susie.
Very surprised for Marquis.

The judges are unanimous about their decision. Nigel thinks that Thayne is all-around good, Marquis' dancing was too trick-heavy and Chris has really stepped up with his personality. Nigel announces that Marquis is the one who is going home.
Chelsea is safe, Comfort is safe, but Susie Garcia must say good-bye.


They don't need any more personality as long as Josh and Twitch are there.

I wonder if they will split any couples up. That's two weeks in a row that a couple were sent home.

I hope they do split up some couples. I always find it interesting to see how new partnerships work (or don't work, in some cases :-)).

you know what dawned on me tonite? That no matter how many times America puts someone in bottom 3 they will never have to leave as long as they are a judge fav, so the judges saying that Will (or anyone else they mention) is a shoe in for the finals really is saying they will rig it to make sure he is because they will never decide to let him/her go.

for that reason alone the judges should never say to a dancer that they see them in the finals. I am truly surprised Susie was in bottom after reading how big her net fan base is. I just didn't feel her at all, wish them well but not sad to see her or Marquis leave.

I'm not surprised, especially about Susie.. honestly felt her dancing fit better with Pussycat Dolls (but of course they have to sing, too. I was mildly surprised it was Marquis going but not really.

Oh and a new bit of Orange County info.... seems that Twitch and Katee have been teachers at South County Classical Ballet.. and their students are REALLY excited to see their teachers on the show.

(Katee taught jazz and Twitch taught hip-hop)

Twitch actually joined a contemporary class recently that is a small class of the most advanced students.. they said he outdoes them by far in hip-hop but they outdid him in contemporary. They didn't know about their teachers advancing in SYTYCD comps until it started airing.

Of course he joined to brush up on other skills.. the girls said it was hard for him but he kept asking questions and working and he got it..

Twitch attended Chapman University (where Katee goes) for a few years. He's from Alabama but lives in Santa Ana now (where Pamy works.. former home of Bill, Pamy, Dylan and me too!)

His students say he is a funny, outgoing guy and completely dedicated to dance. He often demonstrated the hip-ho choreography in slow-motion. At the end of each class he had the students take turns free-styling. He'd often remain behind after class in the empty studio, headphones on, listening to music, working out another piece of his own routines.

The students say Twitch has been known to show up in class wearing fake glasses and green sneakers.

Katee, they say is soft but she can be strict. She looks shy and reserved in the beginning but once you get to know her she is full of energy.

Anyway, the more I hear about these dancers, the more I like and respect them.. proud to have them be the locals (Kherington, too.)

I thought that Marquis was far better than Chris. If they wanted to boot a couple I would have chosen Comfort & Chris ...

I want Twitch and Kherington to get married, lol....they look sooo awesome together, and seem so comfy with each other

I think the judges were so wrong about Marquis. What was the point of having them do individual dances, if they are only going to keep eliminating couples. Chris and Comfort were better in the pairs, but Marquis was so much better in the individual dance than Chris. What does that mean he was only doing tricks, what? I'd like to see Nigel step up and try that, I can't even say what I'm thinking, they'll kick me off the board, lol.

Thanks for the info about the dancers, they are all so good at what they do, I hope they all find success in this business, but not with Nigel, he'd likely find a way to trip them off the stage.

Stormie - I totally agree with you about Marquis. I thought his solo was so much better than Chris's. I loved his "tricks" and was really puzzled when he got raked over the coals by Nigels about how he danced. I thought his solo was wonderful! You could see he was going too.

Wow Cat looks like a giant compared to most of the dancers! She needs to wear flats on Thursdays. I do love her though.
