R.I.P. Adam Shankman's Microphone

Wow, I am so impressed that the show did not run over! Adam Shankman never stopped talking! And when he did, it was only to rough up his poor microphone. He must have hit that poor mic ten times!
Meanwhile, Mary was breaking out into new territory yet again. Not satisfied with just deafening everyone in the world, this time she was going for blinding everyone as well!
First up, Twitch and Kherington with a jailbreak routine. Pretty good. I'm not totally blown away with Tabitha and Napolean's routines, but they are fo' sho' better than Dan Karrity's routines. My favorite part is when the music was over and I saw Kherington's "Twitch" glasses. Pretty fly. She definitely needs to tone down that smiling though. Mia was right last week. Kher has a great smile, and it's probably naturally there, but she doesn't need to smile that much through a jail break hip hop routine.
Can I be more in love with Gev? I almost died laughing when Tony told him to grab Courtney's booty. His smile was worth millions! Does anyone else recognize Tony Meredith from America's Ballroom Challenge? I can't get over him reciting all of his scripted material with Sandy Duncan.
Comfort and Chris. Boy, did they stink it up. There was really no power behind their dancing. Tyce's routine had the opportunity to be great. Bummer. What else can I say?
Doriana Sanchez. Dang I feel like this woman is my arch-nemesis! Why do they keep having disco? After the first disco routine in the first season we should have just stopped. But I guess Will and Jessica did a good enough job.
Meanwhile I totally am digging this Sonya mohawk chick and I hope that she comes back to choreograph again. I loved her routine. Fabulous, and really a good piece for Matt and Kourtni (side note to parents: stop it already with the funky spellings!).
I don't even want to talk about Chelsea and Thayne because it will make me too sad. Boy was that was heavy and boring. And it wasn't totally their fault. That choreography was a SNOOZE!
Why is everyone so in love with Tabitha and Napolean??? I liked Chelsi and Mark's routine (by the way his pinkies are Ca-Ray-Z! Yikes!), but I'm not peeling myself off the ceiling like everyone else. Geez.
And finally, Joshua and Katee. When I saw that they were doing Samba I groaned like a boy (ala Katee). I don't like Samba. Boy oh boy did I change my mind after that routine. That was really smokin' hot! Sweet! Sick! Banoodles! Right from the beginning I was hooked! What a great way to close the show!
So now I realize I've pulled an Adam Shankman and nattered on endlessly. I'll leave with a few (thousand) bullets:
  • What is up with the wardrobe department tonight? Did they spend all of their money on bedazzling Mary's dress? I was not diggin' any of the ensembles.
  • Is anyone else over the hot tamale train?
  • What dance show did Tabitha and Napolean come from?
  • Wasn't it so fly that Jessica tried to match Will's line after his slip?
  • How is Comfort still dancing with a dislocated shoulder? Didn't Mark on Dancing With the Stars do the same thing and had to have surgery?
  • Where the heck did Brian Friedman go?!?! I miss him!
  • And finally, I need to know how old Mary Murphy is. Ever since I realized she's removed her age from the interwebiverse, I've been obsessed. Any guesses?
  • Bottom three predictions: Chelsea and Thayne, Comfort and Chris, Will and Jessica (because Disco is never a favorite).
  • Going home: Chris and Chelsea

Its insightful posts like this that make me so sad your not here to watch the show with me. But I must say Mary's bedazzled shirt started to grow on me. Emily (vampire Emily) said the sleeve length made it look way too "mom on a cruise" ish.

Ok, I am SOOOO tired of the hot tamale train nonsense from Mary. Adam may have killed his microphone but I did appreciate that he had some real genuine critiques to offer. I feel like Mary only screams and spouts nonsense about trains, etc. Her shirt was pretty fantastic -- but I think the necklaces were the best part right?? really leaving a lot to the imagination. Will, Joshua and Katee are my fav's. I LOVED the samba routine. How did they get Joshua into those crazy, tight pants? That was pretty impressive in and of itself. Such an awesome number. Can't wait to see this week's SYTYCD!!
