Season 8 Top 20 Again Results Show
Cat looks nice tonight.
Opening number: Tyce or Chris did this I think. Or maybe nappy tabs or maybe Mandy Moore. It is very interesting. Whoa I liked all the stuff at the end to come back to the suit case, all the freezes. Oh man I was completely wrong. I forgot about Dave Scott. Oops. I liked it, not my favorite, but it was good.
Hok will be here! Yay!
Alright, first three couples: Poor Wadi, he felt so bad last night. Yea, I kinda guessed they would be in the bottom three, partly because my mom didn’t write spoiler alert on her email and I didn’t know she was going to mention tonight’s results. I am glad for Mitchell and Caitlynn. I think she is really pretty. I liked Sasha and Alexander’s dance so I hope they are safe, and they are, good.
250,000 is a lot of money. Oh Lauren! I like that Twitch is on it too, go Gatorade! Oooh gift bags!
Ok, next four couples: Miranda and Robert, I don’t really care either way about them. I liked them more this week than last week. Melanie and Marko, I really like her so I hope they are safe. I knew the way Cat read that and by how many couples were left on stage that they were all going to be safe. Alright next two couples. Jordan and Tadd, I loved their performance last night so I want them to be safe, and I don’t really care for Iveta so I hope they are not safe. Yay, Jordan and Tadd are safe! Not surprised about Iveta and Nick.
Next three couples: Ashley and Chris, oh yea, I liked theirs, I hope they are safe. Good, I am glad they were safe, I am surprised they told them without talking to the other two first. Ryan and Ricky, I didn’t like their dance so I would be fine if they were in the bottom, but I don’t like Clarice and Jess more so I hope Ryan and Ricky are safe. I think Jess and Clarice are in the bottom and I am wrong and surprised. Wow.
Rage Crew: Oh yes, little kids, I love when little kids dance. They look like they are from the 80’s in a bad way, the girls that is. Like they should be at jazzersize. Those little girls do not need to be dancing like that. I like all the tumbling. They should be wearing more clothes. I mean it was good I guess, I think I am just thrown off by the sketchy dance moves that those young girls were doing.
Solos:
Wadi: I like Wadi, but his solo is not very good. It is a lot of walking around, at the beginning at least. The tricks were cool.
Missy: I don’t like the flexed feet. I liked that her whole solo wasn’t super overtly sexy
Nick: I like his solo, I really am enjoying this. That was great.
Iveta: Good grief she is so thin. I am not liking this solo. Her legs were too far apart on that one part where she was just shaking and gyrating so it looked vulgar and just not very good.
Ricky: Wow, he is really good at spinning. And he is very thin too and lanky. Landon thinks he is gone.
Ryan: Whoa that first little move was unexpected. She moves her legs in weird ways. I do not like this solo. That was very weird. Idk who will be safe after that.
The singing group, and Quest with Hok! I'm sad Dominic (or should I say Dtrix isn’t in Quest anymore). Wow that guy with the big chain and the glasses and fro looks super goofy. The dancing with the music is fun. I think this group is very awkward and a bunch of jokers, Landon doesn’t mind them. I mean one dude has a cardboard box on his head. What is this?
Decision: Girls – I agree with Nigel about Ryan, and I don’t like that Nigel through Wadi under the bus again when talking to Missy. Wow, they kept Ryan. I forgot they only got to keep one. Our TV is going in and out again. I hope I don’t miss anything else. The sound guys were good, they muted Cat's mic when she needed to tell them where to go. Guys – Wadi, I agree he hasn’t gotten a chance to do his thing, and I agree he didn’t do his best tonight. I think Nick was great and I am glad the judges appreciate tap dancing. Ricky, he did do well tonight, he gave it his all. Ricky is trying so hard not to cry. Poor Nick and Wadi. I am going to miss those two. There are too many guys on this show that are exactly like Ricky, these other two, especially Nick are the only one of their kind. I am sad that they are gone. It is a shame Nick got Ballywood and that Wadi got the cha-cha last night. Bummer.
Oh well, it happens, people have to get kicked off I suppose. I just wish it wasn’t them. Can't wait for next week. Tune in and watch and then see what I have to say, haha. Enjoy!
Season 8 Top 20 again Performance show
I was pretty freaked out when I saw the president’s address thing, I thought I was going to miss something. Glad I didn’t miss anything.
I love that Cat is wearing yellow.
Who is Debbie Reynolds? Oh, Singin’ in The Rain, that is what I thought
Ricky and Ryan – jazz – I think it is funny that Ricky said that Ryan’s leg hair grows fast. I am excited to see Mandy Moore. I am not looking forward to it now though because it is going to be so sketchy. This is scandalous. The tricks would have been way cooler if it wasn’t so sexual. Landon thinks if they were to make a modern version of dirty dancing it would be like this. Nigel used the perfect word. It was raunchy. I disagree with Mary, I think it was too x-rated for the little tykes at home.
Caitlynn and Mitchell - contemporary – I have a snuggie! I love Stacy Tookey! Oh and I totally love props, just ask Stevie. He thinks I only like the ones with props because they have props. Oh, Adele, people will love this. I loved the part where she dove through his arms and then flipped over in his arms. I really liked that dance. Stacy did so well. I liked how the spot light cut off on Mitchell on the end too. Caitlynn seriously got punched/scratched in the face and is bleeding. I feel like Debbie doesn’t have anything really to say. I really enjoyed the dance. Stacy is so good. I wish I had vision like she has.
Missy and Wadi – cha-cha – That rag that he used to get rid of his chest hair was disgusting. hahaha Wadi is funny. Oh man Jean-Marc, good stuff. This will probably be a little sketchy. This song is crazy. I think they are doing really well with the dance though. I saw a camera guy on the stage I think (looks like they are out of practice and aren't on point yet). I think they did really well. I think Jean-Marc did a good job with that and them. Wadi might remind me a little bit of Dominic with the whole never wearing heels thing. I guess Nigel is probably right, but I didn’t notice any of that. I was just enjoying it. I like that Mary is actually giving some useful advice. I don’t care what the judges have to say, I thought he did really well. I feel bad for Wadi, he is upset and hurt now.
Nick and Iveta – Ballywood – uh-oh. Haha she said he had chicken legs. I like Nakul, he always does a good job. I like Ballywood alright, I hope they do well, but I am afraid they won’t. Oh, they started out well and then they got off on timing. They got back together though so that is good. They got off again. Whoa that spin thing was cool. It was alright. It seemed chaotic to me. They did better than I thought they would. Haha he has sensitive eyes. It really bothers me how negative Nigel and Mary were to Wadi and how neither of them said anything about them getting totally off from each other multiple times in this routine.
Miranda and Robert – hip hop – hahaha she has a crush on Tadd. That is funny. YES!! Nappy Tabs hip hop! I love nappy tabs. They are doing very well. They are hitting really hard. Op, they got off on one of the lifts and I think it through them off and then she didn’t land her flip. I think it was good, but could have been better. I wish they would have her wear her hair down. Whoa her eyelashes are out of control. Oh wow, so are his. Hahaha wow, Debbie just did Woody the wood pecker, Robert loved that. Wow, I do not agree with Nigel’s statement that she is the best contemporary dancer to do hip hop. I agree that I was happy I didn’t hear any “woos.”
Clarice and Jess – contemporary – Yes, Stacy again. This reel of lifts going wrong reminds me of Dominic and Sabra when he dropped her all the time. Clarice moves so easily and is so graceful. I mean Stacy Tookey can make anybody look good. I didn’t like the one flexed foot Clarice did, but that is very typical Stacy Tookey choreography. Haha Debbie is kind of creepy, lol.
Jordan and Tadd – Viennese Waltz – I love these dances, hopefully this one is good. Tadd just called her dumb, haha. I love that Tadd is OCD, slightly. That is awesome. Jean-Marc again, he choreographed Kherrington and Twitch’s Viennese Waltz that was stunning, so there is hope. Oh and another prop. DAVID COOK! There is so much going for this routine. I hope they do it justice. Jordan just hit Tadd in the face on one of their moves. I loved that. I have never seen Jordan that classy. I thought it was wonderful. I love this style of dance. False, Nigel, with these absurd comments about being the best. Dominic was the best bboy. The whole thing was so graceful and elegant. I liked it a lot. They just looked like they were enjoying themselves and out of one of those good old dance films.
Melanie and Marko – jazz – How strange that she has such issues with her ears. These two are just so good. I think she is my favorite. Marko dropped his hat, but got it back pretty quickly. I liked the first half of this dance better than the second half, but I liked it. I thought it was really good, but I think it is because I like this couple so much. She looked a little bit like Bones when she was asking for her numbers.
Alexander and Sasha – hip hop – This one will be similar to Joshua and Katee, but the follow up of it apparently. This is going to be so good I hope. Oh man, I love Nappy Tabs dances like this. I can’t believe Diddy changed his name again. I like this song tho. This is soooo good already. That was so good. I loved it. I loved the story of it. Sasha killed it. Katee and Joshua felt it more, but it was still really good.
Ashley and Chris – Broadway – Hmm, more props. This should be interesting. This is going to be scandalous. Whoa that was a crazy start. This is really good so far. The bars don’t look very sturdy though. He just dropped straight onto his booty. I am getting a little dizzy with all the camera spinning stuff. The use of those bars to hang on them in crazy ways was cool. I really liked that. That was a great routine by Spencer. Haha that was a creative way for Mary to put them on the Hot tamale train.
Great show tonight. I think it will be a tough cut tomorrow. I think the Iveta and Nick Ballywood, the Clarice and Jess Broadway, maybe Ryan and Ricky jazz might be in trouble. It is tough though. I probably wouldn’t put the Ryan and Ricky in the bottom. I would only put two in the bottom. I thought it was awesome tonight. Check back in for the results later.

Season 8 Top 20 Results Show
could be that new Chris guy. I liked it. I was right the first time. I
should have gone with my gut. It was really entertaining for me.
Anybody gonna learn the national dance day dances? I probably won't. I am not looking forward for
the Gaga stuff.
Glad Melanie and Marko are safe. Glad Wadi and Missy are safe, I don't
really like her, but I like him. I don't really care either way about Iveta
and Nick being safe. I do not like Jordan's outfit tonight, the fringe on
her one boob is really weird. I am happy Ashley and Chris are safe, not
really surprised about Jordan and Tadd being in the bottom. Landon doesn't
think America will vote for her. Not really surprised about Jess and Clarice
being in the bottom, I think Jess is a little arrogant like one of the
judges said. I also don't think America really likes Broadway unless they are really likable.
The guest singer reminds me of Paris Hilton. And the blonde girl is
really trashy looking. Probably cus the dance moves aren't helping. Wow,
that was not very good. What a waste of time.
Ryan and Ricky, I am glad they are safe, I like her. Miranda and Robert in
the bottom actually kind of surprises me because everyone there liked it so
much. I am glad Sasha and whoever else is safe.
The Russian dancing is interesting, kind of boring, but impressive all at
the same time. He looks like the principal in the old Sister, Sister shows.
Solos:
Mitchell - I liked it alright, it seemed like he wasted the first 10 seconds
Jordan - I think her dancing is just really trashy
Tadd - bboy solos are tough for me, but I liked the end of it and that he
danced to non hip hop music
Clarice - I thought her solo was pretty shaky, but better than Jordan cus
her's was just pretty trashy to me.
Jess - He is good at pirouettes, I just really struggle with Broadway, and
Broadway solos. Idk, I guess it was good. Our signal for our TV is getting broken up
and we are missing parts of the solo.
Miranda - I liked hers the best, we think she danced the most and gyrated
the least. And I thought she was really pretty
Robert - I enjoyed his the most, which is kind of surprising because I think
he is kind of annoying.
VERY DISAPPOINTED that Gaga will be judging. Fortunately for us, we have dvr
and we got to skip Gaga's video.
Wow, a dance off. A little disappointed that the dance was the same until
the end. I didn't like that the first 5 to 10 seconds of Mitchell's was
standing on one foot.
Judges comments on girls: I'm surprised they were so positive about the
first two girls dancers, they didn't really dance that much.
I can't believe they are keeping everybody. I think it's cool that they kept
everyone so we could see more next week. Welp, I can't wait for next week.
Hope you have good weekends.

Season 8 Top 20 Performance Show
Disclaimer, these are my opinions and I have been watching this show since season 2. Things are starting to get repetitive, but I still love the show. I have people who I have loved in the past who have set the bar very high for the people who have followed. I also feel that the stage from the first 5 seasons was way better than the stage for these past three. No one will ever be able to live up to Allison, Ivan, or Dominic, but I will try to appreciate the new dancers too.
Here are my comments on the dances:
Jordan and Tadd- Afro-jazz- This dance didn’t seem very African to me. I like them though. He reminds me of Dominic, because he looks like him. They weren’t very together throughout the whole thing. The tricks were cool. Overall, not bad. Good start to the show.
The third judge, Megan Mullally, drove me crazy, she is super nasal-y and gross sounding which is very distracting.
Sasha and Alexander – contemporary- I like the music. I liked it. I really liked the movements, the end of it was good, powerful. Travis always seems to do a very good job and makes the dancers look very good.
Sometimes I wish Cat didn't say the things she says. Oh man, Mary bothers me. I feel that Mary plays this loud screaming lady and is usually more positive and extreme than necessary. I think the show would be better if she didn't feel the need to be this screaming obnoxious person. This other chick (Megan) better not be on here much more, I can’t stand her voice. It makes it hard to listen to what she says.
Clarice and Jess – Broadway – I thought this was pretty good. I could have used a little bit more of him being into her and her being into him. I didn’t really get the story that they told at the beginning, but it was good. I liked it pretty well. The pirouette Nigel mentioned was very cool. I think I might have liked this routine more if it was people I liked better. If Kent and Lauren from last season did it, it might have been more dynamic and better. (Speaking of Kent, I am pretty sure he was there helping Tyce teach them the dance, and I am pretty sure Jamie from season 3 was helping Travis). I also feel that a different outfit on Clarice might have helped.
Ryan and Ricky – Lyrical hip hop – Love that he said “cray cray” haha, I love that phrase. Love this song, don’t know if I love this version. I am a fan of lyrical hip hop, have been since Ivan and Allison did it season 2, not wild about Ryan’s faces. I think I will have to watch this one again. I think other people would have done it better (i.e., Lauren, Dominic, Ivan, Allison, Katee, Joshua, etc.), but that’s okay, I just have some people who have taken up residence in my heart, lol. I find Ryan's boots with the dress unattractive and slightly distracting. I just muted that other lady. Landon thinks she needs to be taken off the show.
Caitlynn and Mitchell – jazz – Gotta love Sonya. I completely understand how Caitlynn was not having a good time with him because he was so sweaty, GROSS! I would have liked to have seen Mitchell perform this. Welp, looks like Robert is an all-star this season for when it gets down to the top ten, at least that’s my guess. Everything about this is very Sonya. I like the moves and the lifts/tricks. It was alright, it wasn’t as powerful as I think it might have needed to be, and I think part have that might have been the music. Mary thought it was though so idk.
Miranda and Robert – Latin- “Woooo” lol, he is totally the Steve Urkel of SYTYCD. And I said that before I saw him on stage. She lost an earring, I really don’t know why they even give them huge earrings like that, they always come off. She was trying to take the other one off or something and it really bothered me. I liked that, it was very entertaining, idk how technically sound it was, but I enjoyed it. I think I liked it so much, because the song was good. It was a really good thing he caught her at the end. I find Robert to be too annoying with the "woo" and working the crowd, I think he needs to stop.
Missy and Wadi – jazz – This is Landon’s favorite guy. Sean Cheeseman is weird when he explains things. Haha he touched her boob, totally inappropriate. That is a no-no. I never wanted to hear this song, but what can you do I guess. He is so cool! I liked that pretty good. They got off a little towards the end, then got back together and then got off again. I thought it was cool that Wadi got to do some of his tricks. I thought they did really well. Mary is so annoying.
Melanie and Marko – contemporary – She is one of my favorites. I like it so far and it basically just started. It was crazy how still she stayed when he picked her up and spun her around. Her lines are so pretty. The song is pretty, idk what any of the words really say, I haven’t really been listening. I really liked this one. That could possibly be my favorite one Travis has choreographed. That was so good! Wow, I don’t know about that whole best girl on the show, ever thing. Maybe this season, but there have been some realllllllly good girls on this show.
Ashley and Chris – hip hop – This could be really good. (Cat looks likes shes wearing a night gown.) Haha loved it so much when he kicked the flowers. She is good at this style. She reminds me of cousin Ashley from Fresh prince. They did the lil wheel chair thing Nigel did at the auditions. I enjoyed it. She is so cute. This one just made me smile and I think that is a good sign. To me it didn't matter if they were perfectly in sync or not, but they did very well.
Iveta and Nick – quick step – She has been doing quick step for as long as I have been alive. This dance seems a little awkward. His feet are fine, but when he partners with her he seems uncomfortable and flail-y. That was okay. Not my favorite of the night that’s for sure. Wow, they all liked it. It was enjoyable. He is a tap dancer so he should be good at the footwork. She is so legit at what she does. Landon and I think she is probably better than the choreographers. At least at the 10 dances she is a champion at. After watching it back for a second time, i thought it was actually better than I thought it was the first time. They did a good job. I am looking forward to seeing what else they can do.
Good first show. I think the Afro jazz, the Broadway, and the quick step might be in trouble.
I think it will be a good season, as long as Mary isn’t too annoying the whole time.
Hope you all enjoyed it!
Tune in tomorrow for the results show recap.
Here goes nothing
Hope you enjoy!
