So You Think You Can Dance
June 14, 2006

The Top 20 danced their asses off last night. Tonight the bottom three couples will dance for their lives. There's a lot of really serious and high press jigs being had on this show. First ya dance your ass off then you dance for your life. Very dramatic over there at Fox.

My Favorite Couples:

First up was Swing Dancer/Jim Carrey Face Benji and his new partner Donyelle. I think there are two couples to beat in this competition and Benji/Donyelle represent the first half of this unstoppable 4some. Donyelle is just fierce, she attacks a dance she doesn't dance it. There's so much frantic energy and attitude in her moves that its unbelievable to watch. Benji is the most confused contestant on reality television. He just got back from a mission with his "church" after his girlfriend dumped him.
Um, Benji she dumped you because you're a flaming homo and you probably weren't at Bible camp or whatever, you were at True Directions to brainwash the male thoughts out of your head. And it sounds like the robots did a pretty good job, last night you even threw out a "virgin til marriage" comment. Please, who are you foolin'? That mouth opens really really like rubbery wide and that's not from smiling that's from a little something else my friend. All I'm sayin'...

My ultimate favorites though in this competition are the unfortunate in hairstyle Travis Wall and his lanky hot bod partner Martha Nichols! Their Broadway routine was hands down amazing to watch! Travis is a little jackrabbit that you just want to put in your pocket to let him bounce around in there and see what pops up. She's a skinny belinkydink with Amazon height and surprisingly good moves. She just doesn't look like a dancer in her "day" clothes, but slap her in a bra and some suspenders and she's the new lead in RAGTIME!

Travis is my reality television crush of the moment. He's incredibly talented, incredibly cute, and not too cocky but honey, that hair? It's like Corky from Life Goes On took garden sheers and a paintbrush to just one side of his head while Wendy the Retard from Howard Stern electrocuted him. Seriously, his hair person needs to be fired, but only after being caned in the town square. If you don't have to look at his left side, he's a little cherub. Travis Wall is the contestant to beat... once he drops Amazon Woman From The Moon Martha!


Individual Stand Outs:

Stanislav Savich, he might be a beet farmer by day but by night he's owning the ballroom floor. Can I just take a second to say thank gods they didn't let that fat faced girlfriend of his through. She was just too much with her Vegas breakdown and leather fringe top. Over her. BUT, Stanislav could star in Strictly Ballroom 2 should Baz make it. Too bad he was partnered with The Girl With The Red Eyes and Red Lipstick On Her Tooth. Did you see her eyes, seriously the pupils were red, not the rest of her eye, just the center... red. She's related to Sweet from Buffy's "Once More With Feeling"... don't quote me on that though.



Natalie Fotopoulos may not be the best dancer, but hot damn if she doesn't have attitude and personality that outshines any other girl in this competition. Sure, Musa wasn't great at their dance, but she went with it and moved around that stage like buttah! She's got spunk, and it might be a little funky if I'm not mistaken. She's great fun and can you imagine a Natalie/Benji face off? It'd be insane. She cracks me up and right now, that's something. She stuck out.



Ben Susak, or as I like to call him, Pre-Pre-Op Alexis Arquette. Seriously, look at him and then look at "still man" pics of Alexis Arquette... same lips, same face. Creepy. He's hard to look at but he lands in this category because the boy pulled out the Flashdance leg kicks and arm raises at the end of his routine last night and it was pure genius. Sure he was great the whole time, but those leg kicks and arm punches were inspired. I saw a steel mill in the background, I saw leg warmers, I saw water splashing on his body. Good times.



Cousin Heidi Groskreutz... the audience was manipulated into watching her instead of her partner last night. The music, the style, the dress, the lighting all forced you to watch Cousin Heidi gracefully glide across that dancefloor. It was almost scary, because it seemed such the showcase for her. What can ya do? She's got crazy sharp features and some eyebrows that need thinning but I think she has a shot at going as far as her gay, whoops, her Chrisitan Cousin Benji. All Jon had to say was... "I hate Enya" to which I replied... "I don't mind!"



Performance of the Night:


Special Thanks to rickey.org for being the only one with video!


Tonight the bottom three couples DANCE FOR THEIR LIFE and Nelly Furtado showcases her super svelt body with a live performance of a song I'm not too keen on. Which is sad really because I'm a real fan of her first two albums and somehow actually got into her whole Portuguese thang... but this hip-hoppy shit is not my bag baby.
