sytycd thoughts...

yes...it's been a few weeks already and i've had yet to say anything. are any readers here watching? well i have the computer sitting on my lap tonight while i watch (waaaay too much media) and i have many thoughts on th show thus far...

i really didn't love last season and so i reasoned that i must have gotten tired of the show (like survivor, amazing race, etc). and then the opening show to the top 20. no voting - all in the dancers own styles? WOW! what a fantastic idea! bringing adam on as a regular judge - SO smart. yes, nigel - you HAVE created the best show ever bringing dance to the world. i'm love love loving this season - these dancers are such a good mix (once those tappers were out...haha).

but after all this gushing - thoughts on tonight's episode: >nap and tab - it wasn't love at first choreographed sight but man, i really love them now. what a great dance tonight. > and travis from season 2? he is a fantastic choreographer - i hate to say it but he really should have won season2. i couldn't see it at the time but all these seasons later, i'm finally admitting it. the fact that he used the stars' music for the dance of course made it the BEST dance of the season so far!!! too bad it was ryan. it seems to be okay for russians to be ballroom guys but this guy bugs me. he kind of looks like a charicature (spelling?) of someone...but he DID do a good job on the dance. and i lovvve eleanore. > the pasa doble was amazing...not to mention the killer abs on "legs". yikes. when he came out shirtless, i was like, "is he constantly flexing or are those seriously his muscles?" > and wasn't tyce's blackbird routine so emmy-driven? but even though i'm not channing or victor's biggest fan, it was so well done. > now molly and nathan...the babies. i want to dislike molly. but she did so well tonight and many other nights. i think laurieann is one of those choreographers who can pull a lot out her dancers from what it looks like. i was suprised by nigel's kudos to nathan though - perhaps the best dancer to have ever been on this show? huh. is it just my memory or did adam tell every couple that they're going to the top ten? that's gonna be tough.

let's just give a mary-shout out to kat tonight. she's really the best host. her best moment? mocking travis's crazy voice when announcing ryan and eleanore.

anyways...wanted to let you know that yes, i AM watching this season and if YOU are watching...i'll keep blogging my sytycd thoughts.
