Which couple was it that NIgel said had had some meltdowns this week? He said he talked to the choreographers and knew about their meltdowns but that they were just terrific onstage. I was very curious to get the backstory on that.

My favorite dance this week was Katee and Joshua's hometown routine--fantastic.

July 2, 2008 Katee & Joshua - Hometown Glory

This week, and maybe it's bc they danced two dances, but there wasn't as many dance routines that stood out to me the way last week's did. I think Kourtni will be eliminated tonight, even though she is good, there are better dancers. I'm hoping Matt won't go as well, then again, I'm not sure who else. Nigel needs to take a lesson from last week's guest judge Adam, there is a way to give constructive criticism and it's not with tearing people down; he was back to his harsh self last night--it's old.

Here's some of my fav clips from last week.

June 25, 2008 SYTYCD 4 - Chelsie & Mark - Bleeding Love - Hip Hop

June 26, 2008 Top 16 Group Dance Mia Michaels Choreography

June 26, 2008 SYTYCD 4 - Top 16 Guest Performance - Qwest

If you want to review, I just found this YT channel and they have all the dances from last night all in one place (from the past couple of weeks as well).

I still love this one (it's the wedding dress one).

June 11, 2008 SYTYCD4 - Mark and Chelsie - Top 20 Contemporary

LOL Darrel!!!

they airbrush tans on ppl all the time. Dancing with the stars contestants have even joked about it. AIrbrush is more sturdy than street makeup cuz its kinda put on in layers even though it looks so natural. They are using it to create tats for tv/film also

Brenda is correct and if you freeze frame a shot of him you can see where the dark contouring makeup is and in between that is a light layer of lighter color, that is what creates the deep dimensions.

You can give a slimming illusion with spray tan also. You cant make a 340lb woman look skinny but you can enhance your good features and kinda downplay bad ones.

another area for airbrush? Clevage!! makeup artists have been doing it for years with regular makeup but it looks even better in airbrush

Madeline, I also found that strange that Nigel mentioned the meltdown and he didnt say one of them had one it seemed as if both had meltdowns. I also would love to know what happened. Do they hate each other, is Jess so depressed Will has to constantly reassure her? etc. Is Will a perfectionist and gets mad at himself if he isnt perfect or fails to live up to judges/Debbie Allen's expectations?

What'd anyone think of the solos?? I just got home so I missed them.

ETA - Bye bye Kourtni. You should have left last week. LOL
AND bye bye Matt :-(

Another "couple" gone. Seriously?? That means only one week they didn't get rid of an entire couple.

YW

For a minute there I thought Gev was going to go, but his solo was great, though I didn't really see it as better than Matt's. I like Matt, he reminds me of Tommy Tune (I think that's his name, the famous tall person who performed on Broadway). From what Nigel said, Matt was already so good going in, that he didn't show much improvement from there. Whatever, I liked him.

I didn't like Comfort's solo this week as much as previous ones, so I really thought they would choose her to go. Kourtni's solo was really good, but I guess they base their findings on the whole show. As for the votes, Nigel was the only one who voted for Comfort to go, while the others voted for Kourtni.

And seriously, Nigel's comments to the guest dancer were uncalled for (the popper who decided to not continue on). He did what he did for his own reasons, it's done, move on Nigel. This is my favorite show of the summer, and Nigel is just irritating me with his snide remarks and harsh comments. I guess I'll have to hit the mute button for more than Mary's screeching.

July 3, 2008 SYTYCD 4 - Robert Muraine (guest performer during results show)

I didn't like Comfort's solo either, but I thought she did real well on the show this week. I think she is progressing well. Kourtni just seemed a bit awkward to me...like she has never adjusted to her height. I thought she was the best choice to go. Couldn't decide for the guys.

Nigel and I don't have the same point of view often. I think he is rude, but I also think it is intentional to drive ratings and that annoys me more than anything. I would think if you are a professional you would almost always have some sort of constructive feedback for someone....and often these judges seem to pander to both the audience and the contestants. It appears to be scripted.

I agree with the Kat-love as host. She makes me smile.

Hmmm...I took Nigels comments to Robert as good-natured ribbing between acquaintances/friends.

Robert's a big boy and can handle it....plus I thought it was to drive this "dance battle" that they came up with on the "spur of the moment" for the Finale.

I think it's a given that Comfort/Thayne will go next week. I will be shocked if they don't because of the way the judges have made it clear who they want in top 10.

I do agree with those top 10 selections,esp Twitchington and Joshee. I think that is the reason the Will love irritates me. I just dont see what they see. TO me Josh is far more interesting/entertaining. Will is a good dancer but I just dont feel him

I think the RObert thing was scripted.

ITA! how awesome is she?! She cracked me up when she said 'get ther hell outta her' and then did a little kick LOL

She is comforting to them and there are days when I think a Cat hug would make me feel better!

I dont think she is preggers, the outfit last night looked pretty snug. What is up with the wardrobe person? They must hate Cat cuz they have put her in some jacked up outfits lately. I am still trying to figure out if she cut her hair off for that short do or if it was tucked underneath.

I'm pretty sure her hair was just tucked underneath. Thought it was cute.

Now...I thought that the red dress made her look pregnant too... ??dunno?? There was some suspect pleating or ruching (sp?). From the front I couldn't see anything, but when she turned to the side there still seemed to be a little belly bump. I'm not sure why I'm so curious and fascinated by this...but I am! Regardless, I just hope for all the best for her because I think she's great!

I thought the same thing about the ruching (sp?).

I don't like that weird grin thing either. He shows all of his top and bottom teeth when he smiles that big and it creeps me out.

I was just re-watching some of the dances with the link that was given (Thanks Stormie!) and WOW, are they ever horrible to Jessica.
I mean, I could remember that they're always hard on her, but when you listen to the judges comments for the past weeks all together, I'm surprised they haven't just kidnapped her to get her out of the competition they dislike her so much.

It's to the point that I wonder why they even picked her for the Top 20 if they think she sucks so bad compared to Will, who can do no wrong.

I can't wait until we start voting for who actually leaves cause I'm going to try and get rid of Will, not because he's not a great dancer (He is!), but because this "Judge Love" needs to stop!

ETA - And the funny thing is, I didn't actually like Jessica when the show first started. Something about her personality rubbed me the wrong way, but I have every intention on fighting for the "underdog" good dancer.

I'm interested to see how Canada's version of this will stack up, Jean-Marc Gennareux is one of the regular judges.

I am finally caught up! I had to watch all the top 20 shows that have been in so far over the wkend. I LOVE this show so much! They are really good dancers.

LOL about Nigel's grin! I generally like Nigel, but I can do w/o seeing him grin like that!

I love Cat too! She is so nice to the dancers!

I was surprised Thayne was kept. My daughter thinks maybe they didn't want Komfort to have to switch partners again.

I was very happy to see the popper guy (who quit earlier) back and look forward to seeing him again. He is amazing!

My thoughts last week on the elimination was that maybe they wanted to keep Kourtney and get rid of Comfort, but get rid of Matt... so they HAD to get rid of Kourtney too because she's so tall. Could you imagine Thayne trying to lift Kourtney?
