Yo! What’s on TV?

Now that we’re down to the top 10, the voting is all up to the viewers and the dancers are voted as individuals and not couples.  Plus, we have new couples!  The couples this week, chosen randomly, were Brandon and Melissa, Randi and Kupono, Evan and Kayla, Jason and Jeanine, and Ade and Janette.

In my opinion, the best routine by far was done by Jason and Jeanine when they took on Travis Wall’s contemporary piece.  Jeanine is a gamer and brought her A game as usual.  Jason, probably one of the weaker dancers left, left it all on the dance floor to perform this amazing piece.  Looking back on this season of So You Think You Can Dance, I can confidently say this piece will be remembered, just like Katee and Joshua’s “No Air” hip-hop routine.

In terms of solos, Brandon killed his first solo and solidified him as a favorite to win the competition.  Ade, Jeanine, and Kayla also did strong solos.

Some of my other thoughts on tonight’s episode:

- The funniest part of the night has to be when Jason is performing his solo and an audience member yells out “Take off your shirt!!”

- I always thought Brandon and Kupono were both gay from the get go and now I’m pretty sure they are.  When they are preparing for the male’s African dance, Brandon seems to make a comment when the choreographer mentions something about females and Kupono laughs in agreement with Brandon’s thoughts.

- I might be wrong, but it seems the majority of voters are girls, which most likely make the winner one of the male dancers.  My front runners are Brandon and Ade.

- Jeanette is definitely a strong dancer, but I think it’s super tough for the dancers who specialize in a dance form requiring partners to excel in solos.  This was the case for Maxim and Asuka who already bit the dust.

Predictions:

If I were a betting man, I would bet Kupono and Randi are going home tomorrow.

I’ll leave y’all with the Katee and Joshua’s performance dancing to Jordin Spark’s “No Air.”
