Comments on: SYTYCD: the Final 10 Decision http://kulturblog.com/2008/07/09/sytycd-the-final-10-decision/ A pop culture blog by Mormons but not about Mormonism Sat, 26 May 2012 14:16:17 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.com/ By: Clark http://kulturblog.com/2008/07/09/sytycd-the-final-10-decision/#comment-36813 Fri, 11 Jul 2008 22:20:21 +0000 http://www.kulturblog.com/?p=1665#comment-36813 No, during the tryouts they called Comfort the best female hip hop person to ever try out.

I don’t see the Danny in Will if only because Will has that performance aspect that Danny was lacking. Plus Will is very humble and gracious while Danny last year came off as arrogant. I’m not sure that was intended but that’s what he communicated.

Jessica was kept because the judges feel she’s capable of so much more whereas Comfort never had that technical training. Plus for every really atrocious dance Jessica does she has one great dance. Comfort has always been kind of mediocre and lasted this long because of her early solos and because others were worse. (Like that Miami girl with the bad bleach job)

I’m not at all convinced Will will win. But he may really do much better once he’s not with Jessica. We’ll see. Next week should be very interesting with new partners.

I thought Jessica’s solo was tons better than Comfort’s last night. I thought Comfort knew she was going & just phoned it in.

And, yeah. I totally get the Danny vibe from Will as well…maybe not as bad, but still.

It will be interesting to see if he wins over the voters.

Although everything kind of pointed to Comfort going home, I was still surprised by it once I saw their solos and heard the comments they made to Jessica. I thought that they might keep Comfort around for the tour, especially once they basically told Jessica, “we’ve been terribly disappointed in you throughout the competition and even tonight….but we’re keeping you anyway.” That’s weird to me. I wish the judges would give a little bit more reasoning why they make the decisions they do.

He seems like a bit of a ringer, though, being a Debbie Allen protege.

Anyway. Glad she’s gone. As well as Thayne’s ridiculous smile.

This is where it gets crazy & harder to call – once they turn it over to America to kick everyone off individually & not as couples.

They haven’t really shown any female breakers this year (unlike last year where one made the final 10)

Next week Jessica is going home because there’s a significant gap between her and the rest of the women left. My call for guys is harder. Most of the guys at this stage are pretty solid. A lot will depend on partnering skills. I’m calling Gev but it could be almost anyone.

Will & Jessica

Thayne & Comfort

Thayne is totally gone, I think it’s a toss up between Comfort & Jessica who goes. Mia clearly doesn’t like Jessica, so since “her” Thayne is getting cut will she get to get rid of Jessica? Will they want a female breaker in the top 10 instead of another contemporary dancer? They’ve only split up one couple so far, so I’m almost leaning toward Jessica, but the Adam / Eve dance was AMAZING (Mia Michaels), so it may swing back to Comfort.

The non chemistry between Comfort & Thayne was painful to watch. I agree with Nigel that I wish another couple had danced the Mandy Moore routine. It would have been great to watch, then.

How fun was that Bollywood routine last night?

I actually wondered if she was sick or if she got hurt of something because she just kind of…stopped there at the end.
