We will be needing nicknames for our couples...please leave your suggestions so we don't have to call them by their real names this whole time.
jeanine & philip: Hip hop with my fav Tabitha and Napolean...lucky for Philip! And this my friends is why I LOVE THIS SHOW!!!! I would put more exclamation marks but Unguren will make fun of me! Jeanine actually did really, really well! NappyTabs always choreograph the BEST routines!!!!!!!! (those are for you Unguren). Great, GREAT performance! Mary is so obnoxious...truly obnoxious!
Asuka & Vitolio: Broadway with Tyce...interesting for these 2. hmmmm....it was okay, didn't love it, didn't hate it. I hate to agree with Mary, although I often do...she's right, it felt sort of lacking in energy...
Karla & Jonathon: Cha-Cha...with Tony. Hey Unguren...I think you might now this song:) I really love this show...that was great...totally sexy...great chemistry...just thought it was great! There you go Jonathon...you got your scream! True Nigel...I was like Karla and Jonathon who...not any more!
Randi (the girl with the unitards) & Evan (the younger brother): jazz with Tyce. Glad to see Randi in a 2-piece...and she's married...awesome! She is a beautiful dancer...beautiful...and he is fantastic...that was GREAT...GREAT...I LOVED IT. I totally agree that was one of Tyce's better dances.
Paris & Tony (the guy with the pictures of Nigel): Hip hop with NappyTabs. How did both hip hop boys get hip hop. Yeah...not as good as the first hip hop...definitely not hitting those moves as hard as they should and towards the end they were not together. Whatever he isn't the cutest guy on the show...I hope america agrees!
Katelyn (the older sister) & Jason (I liked him in the try-outs): baliwood...do you remember the baliwood performance from last year...crazy amazing...good luck kids! Not nearly as good as Josh and Katie...Katelyn seemed to get a little behind in the middle. That was fast and I am out of breath just watching. (Oh...I didn't think they rocked)...it was good....but not that great! Jason definitely outdanced Katelyn.
Janette & Brandon: Fox Trot...Louis. (I don't really love the fox trot). Final lift VERY cool...the rest was good...very good. Brandon seemed a bit cocky to me...is it just me?...He bugs me...I miss Joshua...a lot! Mary and the botox...very funny!
Ashley & Kupono: Jazz...WADE ROBSON....I said WADE ROBSON....LOVE HIM....LOVE! They have some really great girl dancers this year...really great! And the boys aren't so shabby. I really like Ashley...she is great. So is Kupono, but I kept watching Ashley! Wade does the craziest things...but I just LOVE IT! Have I mentioned I love Wade. Great routine!!!
Melissa (the "old" ballerina) & Ade (will he dance with the pick in his hair?) : contemporary with Mandy Moore (not the singer...the one that choreographed that awesome table routine with Sabra). Wow that was beautiful...just beautiful! This is going to be a tough season! The lifts were awesome...the dancing just gorgeous...I loved it!
Kayla (the grandparent girl) & Max: Samba...Louis. Louis and Max know each other. She makes me miss Chelsea Hightower a bit. It was good...she seemd a bit stiff in parts...nothing totally bad to say...but definitely not one of my favorites. Wow...I didn't think it was that great...good...not great. Maybe I'm really wrong. Adam is all worked up tonight...and Mary's come out with the train...guess I am really wrong. I just wanted Chelsea to be up there with Max...he was good!
Alright...my overall thoughts...this year, overall...WAY better then any other year. Seems like we start a season and are disappointed by half the dancers and can't wait for them to start getting wittled away...however...not this year. There are probably only 2 or 3 I can do without and the sending home of 2 kids each week will truly be sad. I'm not even sure how I will ever be able to pick a bottom 2 to go home. I truly thought tonight was fantastic and I can't wait to rewatch again tomorrow during nap time...yep, there are a few routines I will definitely need to watch again.
My fav routines: Jeanine & Philip, Randi & Evan, Melissa & Ade...picking a final four will be difficult!
Alright...click on comments and let me know what you thought of tonight...would love to hear about your favs...BUT....don't forget to put your bottom 3 couples and which boy and which girl are headed home. And leave your final four picks either here or on the "rules" post!
***All votes must be in by 8/7 central (for you non-UT residents)!!!
Good luck!

Here's hoping for a few points!
I seriously think I would have been totally happy and fulfilled just watching the first dance, and at that point I didn't think anything would come close. It was amazing, and I also loved it, TT (I've loved Phillip from the very beginning and was hopeful that he'd be able to do other styles of dances). I didn't think it could get much better until I saw Randi (she's from Orem) and Evan dance. What a cute couple!!! I'm with you, TT, I'm not that hot on fox trot, nor was I really excited about the somba (although the judges raved about Kayla and Max). I really enjoyed the test dummies dance (Kupono did a terrific job - I couldn't keep my eyes off him), and I truly was in awe with Melissa and Ade. It was sooooo beautiful (not to mention the great song), and I hope Ade goes far (definitely a "Gentle Giant"). Wow, what an evening! It will really be difficult seeing each one voted off. I usually try to vote based on what the judges thought, but since the judges liked most all of the dances, guess I'll just vote for the dances/dancers I liked the least, and that would be:
Paris and Tony
Kayla and Max
Asuka and Vitolio
Going home: Paris and Tony
Thanks for your comments, TT!!
Nana T :)
OK here goes :)
Jealip: LOVED IT!! but I love nappytabs
Asulio: I wanted to see it bigger and full of more energy but there are very few who do really good with Broadway
Karthon: she really outshined him, I don't think he did as well as thy said he did
Ravan: loved it!!! Amazing.
Pony: I enjoyed watching it was definetly not as good as Jealip
Katson: entertaining but not as good as the last year's baliwood. I hope the show does another baliwood routine though because they are fun to watch
Jandon: It was good but this type of dance does not hold as much intrest as the others, which I think will affect the voting
Ashono: LOVE WADE!!! LOVED THIS ROUTINE!! (although Rob thought it was weird :) )
Melade: I love the contemporary dances and Mandy Moore does a good job (not as good as Mia but still good). I agree though it was beautiful
Kax: definetly not as good as the judges were raving about but not horrible.
My final 4: Jeanine, Randi, Jason and Ade
Bottom 3: Janette & Brandon
Karla & Jonathan
Asuka & Vitolio
Going Home: Jonathon (sorry T) and Asuka
Nice stuff. I still can't believe they put Tony in the top 20.
Bottom Three-
Asuka/Vitolio
Paris/Tony
Randi/Evan
Going home-
Asuka and Tony
Final four:
Kayla
Ashley
Jason
Kupono
(I think Brandon is really good, but he bugs, so I cannot put him in my top four--maybe he bugs America, too.)
Does anyone else think that it is a little unfair that so many of the dancers got to dance their speciality? Usually they just draw the dance out of a hat, but still...RIGGED! And I think it would be a good idea for them to split up the couples every week because if someone gets stuck with a crappy partner, it could go on for several weeks and then they have to dance for their lives all the time! I thought the show was amazing...but am still shocked that they put Tony in the top 20...he didn't even rock his genre!
Bottom 3:
Asuka and Vitolio
Paris and Tony
Caitlin and Jason
Going home: TONY!!! and Caitlin
If Tony doesn't go home, it will be unfair to all the other boys in the competition.
Top 4:
Janette
Melissa
Evan
Max
Can we give a little shout out to Wade? I am so glad he is back...he only choreographed a few dances last year, so I hope he is here to stay!
TT: I think you should cancel your trip...I'm not kidding! I swear, I'll bring a meat course this time!
I hope I can keep up on this...I'll give it a shot.
