SYTYCD Blog #17 - From 10 Down to 8
We lost another two dancers, leaving us with eight. The show started out with a Bollywood number from Nakul Dev Mahajan and an announcement that the show has received four Emmy nominations this year. We also had a girls’ group contemporary number from Mia Michaels, and a guys’ group Broadway number choreographed by none other than Nigel Lythgoe. The bottom four came as no surprise with Comfort, Kherington, Mark, and Gev receiving the lowest number of votes. In the end it was Kherington and Gev who America decided to send home.
Well, it was a shocker tonight. Losing Kherington and Gev doesn’t really sit well with me. Gev did not deserve to go home what-so-ever. I don’t feel like Mark performed well last night, where as I found no fault with Gev. As for Kherington, well, based on last night alone, she deserved to leave. But based on the entire season, she was a better dancer than Comfort. But I am happy for Comfort, she came back by a stroke of luck and managed to win her way into another week on the show. I don’t believe it will last long though. I think her and Mark will be out the door next week. Yes, perhaps I am jumping to conclusions, but they are definitely the weakest of the dancers left. But I suppose we will find that out next week.
I really liked that they did another Bollywood type dance to start off the show. I enjoyed the other two group numbers choreographed by Mia Michaels and Nigel Lythgoe for the final five guys and girls, but I liked Mia’s routine better, it was very emotional. The guy’s routine was fun, but I didn’t really feel anything for it. The bottom two girls and guys was predictably Comfort and Kherington and Mark and Gev, but I was very surprised to see who went home. I think of all her solos she’s ever done (and it’s been a lot) I think this was Comfort’s best, but I still expected her to go home. Seeing Kherington dance her solo without much makeup really made me see how pretty she really is. Based solely on last night’s dancing I suppose Kherington was worse, but if she had gone up against Jessica instead of Comfort, she’d still be standing. Gev was also a big surprise; I really loved him as the underdog with great b-boy skills. He may have been carried a bit by his partners Courtney and Chelsie, but he still held his own, especially in some very impressive solos. Not that I wanted to see Mark leave, I just expected it, he’s not as likeable as Gev or the other guys.
Was not surprised either that all four were in the bottom. Comfort was voted off the week before, but this week she did pull off a great hip hop number with Twitch. The voters did speak and unfortunately, Gev was not voted for as much as everyone else. Kherington was definitely one of the dancers who messed up and broke the dance laws last night. Even though they did a great many number of performances throughout the beginning of the show, Daphne, some of these voters don't see the whole show, so they base it off of what they saw last night. Justice was served and once again we are a step closer to a winner this season. Once again this is Sgt. Tango on SYTYCD Blog, over and out!
