So, Carly Rae Jepsen was last week’s guest judge. I almost wanted to end my commentary and turn off the episode when I saw her on the panel, but I pushed through it. I assume this is just FOX’s way of trying to draw in a younger audience (those rumors about Selena Gomez as an Idol judge are still swirling).
Before we get to the competition, it’s worth noting that SYTYCD has recently racked up some Emmy nominations. Aside from the show’s overall nomination and Cat’s (she better win, damn it) nod, several choreographers were recognized as well: Sonya Tayeh, Mandy Moore, Tabitha and Napoleon, and Travis Wall. Nicely done. I’m hoping that the show’s continued recognition might keep it going for another season amid declining viewership…
Results! Mackenzie, Mariah and Jenna found themselves in the bottom 3, and the guys up for elimination were BluPrint, Alan and Curtis. The Judges sent Jenna to safety right away but the others had to dance for their lives. Why just Jenna? Did we only have enough time for 5 solos so they picked Jenna’s name out of a hat? Seems strange to me.
After the dances and solos were complete, it was decision time. After a lackluster jazz routine that greatly resembled a kinda/sorta hip hop dance (seriously, I’ve missed Brian Friedman but have no idea what was going on in that performance), BluPrint and Mariah were sent packing. At this point in the competition I do think that was the right call. And hey, we still have Fik-shun to ruin our spell check feature.
Tonight the Top 14 will be back at it as we move one step closer to welcoming back the All-Stars. As of now, I do not have a favorite…or even a few favorites. That all may change in the coming weeks though. Til then!
