I wasn´t at all surprised to see Randi and Kupono leave on thurs, I actually called it too.

Gotta say I loved Wade´s japanese-looking routine at the beginning of the show, it was SO him. I adore him.

If in the end Kayla, Jeanine and Ade are there I´ll be happy. As for the rest, don´t really care.

Ps. LOVED to see Travis, he´s been my fav. contestant ever.

oh, I love Evan, I just dont think he really deserves to be there. I think hes awesome at his own style, but I just dont think hes up to par wth everyone else.

Im pretty undecided about who I want in the final four along with Kayla/Jeanine/Brandon. I cant decide between Ade or Jason.I think both are about equal, but Id probably have to pick Jason because I like his personality more.

But I wouldnt mind if Jeanette stuck around either.

Really, this year, I wont be too sad no matter who wins.

and I cant speak for anyone else, but to ME favorite dancer includes someone that had a great personality, someone that is a great dancer, someone that excels in their style and is at least decent in other styles and someone that just captures me when they dance. :/ SO for me to REALLY root for someone to win, they have ALL of that. And this year, the people that fit into that category are Brandon, Jeanine and Kayla. So for my sake, I really hope they are top 3.

After that it doesnt matter to me who wins.

Two more days.

I have to go with Brandon/Ade/Kayla/Janette these are clearing the four best. But with Ade almost leaving last week I don't know is he will be there next week.

NorthmanFan · 07-20-2009, 12:58 PM

I think Ade´s really good and I gotta say that I was real surprised to see him in the bottom, I thought it´d be Evan and Kupono for sure.

I think they're trying to keep Evan longer since has this crazy fanbase and they axed Philip. So they wanna keep that public still interested but it's a huge disservice to the show to keep him on. Honestly. He's not as good as the other guys. And if they keep him on, it'll just be clear that it's rigged.

Evan should leave this week but I have a feeling it might be Ade or Jason. To win, I think the dancer should have very good technique in their own style and a good personality.

Kayla: Good technique but a very blah personality. Not good or bad. She never really shows her personality, imo.
Brandon: Good technique......and he has personality but I could see how he could annoy some people.
Jason: He is a good dancer but he is very forgettable to me.
Janette: See Jason.
Jeanine: She has killed in every style and has a sweet, funny personality.
Evan; Good in his own style....but that is about it. Fun personality.
Ade: Good dancer....but he seems very quiet.
Melissa: Good dancer....but her personality does not really shine through.

IDK, to me, I see personality in Melissa and Kayla. Brandon bugs me so much but as a dancer, he's been incredible in this competition. Can't deny that. Jeanine is fun and is a good dancer. Ade's pretty quiet, but his dancing is great to watch. Evan has a bland personality to me. Dancing in his own style, he's great but otherwise, I would rather never watch him since he's so mediocre.

Alexa · 07-20-2009, 05:06 PM

Danny! ^

I see personality in Kayla too.

I dont see as much personality in jeanine, but i blame that on the editing because weve seen bits and pieces here and there.

and Melissa is just annoying tome, but she def. does have personality.

eternalnoob · 07-20-2009, 05:26 PM

Danny <333!

Jeanine, to me, got the short end of the stick a lot this season with being paired with Phil being a blessing in disguise since she was able to just skate by on his popularity whenever they were "in danger" or whatever. But ever since the beginning, I thought she was good. It was obvious he was pulling her down and once she was let go, look what happened.

See, this is completely my problem with her. She`s an amazing technician but her performance skills are seriously lacking. She doesn`t emote AT ALL. The one exception for this was the addiction piece by Mia. Her and Kupono slaughtered that piece. It almost moved me to tears.

IMO, Jeanine definitely has my favorite personality. Not only is she goofy and funny, she also has a theater background that has really contributed to her embodying the characters she plays in every dance. This is where I think her and Evan actually are at a higher level the the other contestants at this point -- both are actors. Besides all of that...Jeanine also show so much humility and it doesn't come off fake for one minute. In the rehearsal package for the contemporary, all she talked about was how Travis had the opportunity to prove himself as a dancer and now as a choreographer -- she had it in her mind that the dance was not about her or Jason, it was about showcasing Travis and his story -- I thought that was awesome. She wasn't looking to be highligted.

Last week was the first time since the season started that I really enjoyed Kayla. In all her rehearsal packages and her performances, I haven't seen any personality or emotion from her...just her technique -- and watching merely that can be monotonous -- I don't know if it was her partnership with Evan and perhaps he personality made her relax a bit more, but she really seemed so sweet and in her waltz with Evan, she just glowed.

Jeanette, I still don't get her. She is definitely a fantastic dancer, but I can't get a sense of her personality. I can't tell if she's funny, dramatic, or whatever. Plus, she pulls face a lot, but that's probably her ballroom background kicking in.

Melissa is just meh for me. I appreciate that a classical ballerina has made it this far in the competition, but she just seems to be there -- starting to become forgettable overall.

I totally agree.

I can't wait for tomorrow's episode, and ESPECIALLy for Thursday's episode!

eternalnoob · 07-21-2009, 06:04 PM

I really hope this week's dancing couples shine so that Thursday can be a fair elimination.
