So You Think You Can Dance?

Luv2Shop · Kate Spade

I watch RELIGIOUSLY!!! This is my favorite show!! I watched all last season too!
My faves:

Boys:
Dimitri - He's so frickin sexy, but I think his only really strong category is ballroom, he just isn't improving in the other styles as much and I don't think he will win because of that.

I love Travis and Benji, I think they will be the final 2 boys. I said to my mom that Travis reminds me a lot of Nick from last season right before Nigel said the same thing last night.

Ivan is so cute, but I think he needs more training. Ryan is a great dancer, but his personality is just not as strong as the other guys.

Girls:
Now that Martha isn't with Travis, she just doesn't stand out to me as much.

I really like Allison, and she is such a good dancer, but she needs to step up the emotion and stop smiling from ear to ear in every dance.

Natalie is such a good dancer, but something about her gets on my nerves, she is too much of a showboat sometimes, she needs to tone it down.

It took me a while to warm up to Heidi, but now I love her, she has so much energy and is so talented and her contemp. dance with Travis was so moving and brought me to tears. I think Heidi has a really good chance to make it to the end, but I think the boys are better then the girls so I think Travis or Benji are going to win it.

Donyell was really good with Benji, but now that she danced with Dimitri, I don't think he can carry her or partner her as well and I hate to say it but you can really see her weight when she dances now, she seems to fall hard and not be as graceful with Dimitri.

What do you think???

I so agree with you on prety much everyone. I adore Heidi and that dance with Travis last night was absolutely moving. When he was holding the flower and she used her foot to sort of guide his hand over to give her the flower. It was so moving. I wonder if it's on their website, I'd love to watch again.

I like Allison alot, I think she's the best all around female dancer. Natalie is a great dancer but she's annoying. Especially that old Austin Powers thing she does with the pinky to the lip, annoying and now Benji did it last night. Ugh. Martha is good as well but she's not improving like the others.

travis is amazing as is Benji but I prefer Travis as a dancer I think just because I like his style more. But I do like that Benji is a dork and still girls love him. Dimitri is hot but her seriously just needs to keep his shirt on it's distracting. Ivan won't win but I hope he stays on for a while, I love to see him improving every week.

My bets to win will be either Travis or Heidi. I wonder who will be eliminated tonight. I say Martha and Ryan.

It still bums me out that they don't pick one guy and one girl to win!!!! It's just not fair.

And, I agree with you on the eliminatons! I am so glad I don't feel alone watching this anymore!!!

I'm also watching though I missed last night's episode because I went out. I just love Allison and hope she wins, but Heidi could give her a run for her money. Ivan is just adorable and I want Natalie to go away already esp. after last week's dance to "Promiscuous". She didn't really dance at all; I know that was the piont but when the judges were all "you're like a video honey" and "you were smoking hot" blah blah blah. i just wanted to vomit. she so isn't any of those things.

I have been watching all season too. First off I can't stand Dimitri, all he can do is shimmy those legs and walk around with his shirt open. Travis is ok, Ivan is adorable but I like Benji the best. For girls I think Martha will get kicked off tonight, and Natalie irks me too. I like Allison and Heidi but I am not really crazy about either of them.

Oh good, I'm not the only one watching. I love this show. Anyway, here's my take:

Boys

Travis: I really love Travis. I think he's such a great dancer and I love his style and personality. He seems to be a very versatile dancer so I think he'll go pretty far. I hope he wins but I don't think he will, I think Benji will be the winner.

Ivan: Ivan is my second favorite. I agree that he seems to be a rather immature dancer and could probably use some more training. But, I loved his contemporary performance from last week with Allison so much and I really find his dancing and improvement very enjoyable to watch. So, he's my second favorite next to Travis.

Benji: I think Benji is an amazing dancer and will probably win, which I have no problem with, but for some reason I don't find myself routing for him.

Dimitri: He's ok but his dancing doesn’t do anything for me. Also, there must be something off about his dancing since all his partners have been sent home. Granted, I thought all of them deserved to go but still, I think it says something about his skill, in that he's not able to make his partners better.

Ryan: Again, I think he's a good dancer but I agree with all the judges that he doesn't really have "it".

Girls

Allison: She's my favorite. I think she's a very versatile dancer and I was so moved by her performance with Ivan from last week.

Natalie: I like her and think she's a good dancer but her personality gets on my nerves too and I agree with Collette, I can't stand the Austin Powers pinky to the lip.

Heidi: I like Heidi but there's just something about her that doesn't make me pull for her. I'm realizing that I don't really love any of the girls, except for Allison.

Donyell: I agree with Luv2shop that she was good with Benji but isn't coming across as well dancing with Dimitri

Martha: IMPO, she needs to go. For some unknown reason I really don't like her dancing. I almost can't watch when she dances. Weird, I know.

I loooove this show:

Here are my thoughts:

Allison is hands down my favorite. She's the best overall dancer as far as technique and versatility. And she also is a performer. She actually reminds me a lot of Melody, the runner-up from last year who I loved.

Travis is my second favorite. He's also got the versatility and technique thing. He reminds me a lot of Nick, who won last year. (incidentally, I called it from the beginning last year that Melody and Nick would be the top two).

I think it's going to come down to these two. If not, then Heidi will be in the top two, but these three, I think, will be the top three. But it's not Heidi's technique or versatility that's going to get her there, it's her personality.

The rest of them are all decent, but to me, Allison and Travis have the 'it' factor.

Aurora · Marc Jacobs

I love benji!!! I hope he wins it all. I hate dimetre (forgive me because I know that is not proper spelling). I think that if they made dimetre button his shirt he wouldn't do as well as he has now. They made Ashley take off the hat and she lost her confidence so why not make dimetre do the same??

For the girls I don't have a real favorite. My bf thinks heidi would win it because she is pretty from afar (he hates her face from close up) which would work on a vegas show which is the ultimate prize.

kahluamilk · Dooney & Bourke

Yay... I can admit I'm watching this show too!

Gals: I love the way Heidi moves and I think it will be between her and Alison.

Guys: Travis is awesome but Dimitiri is so yummy to watch.

... Watching the finals now.. I'm pretty sure Martha and Ryan are going to be axed.

I watch the show religiously too. Heidi and Travis' performance last night moved me to tears. It was absolute genius! I like Heidi more than Allison, something about Allison bugs me... though she is an amazing dancer technically. I just like Heidi more personality wise. Dmitri is getting on my nerves- can't he FOR ONCE button up his shirt?? I like Benji but I am pulling for Travis. I think he is a great technical dancer and is more versatile than Benji.
