That's Entertainment!

So You Think You Can Dance week 2! (sorry I missed recapping last week)

Last week we said goodbye to Rayven and Jamie, possibly due to the pantsing of Jamie and also maybe his shiny blue shirt.

Cat (in a hot black dress) introduces the judges and woah Mia bleached hair- improvement? (is this even new?)

This week the couples will fascinate us about what they like and hate most about each other, eh boring I might skip that part.
Chelsea and Thayne talking about each other and Thayne exhibits the first gayness moment of the night.  This week they are doing jazz with Mandy Moore.  Chels has insane muscles btw.  It's like a king and queen theme and its a cool concept but I don't love the actual dancing, even though I like them a lot.  Platinum Mia likes the concept but not so much the execution.  Mary, looking crazy as ever with wild hair and a risky leopard dress, also didn't like it. Nigel didn't like their outfits (not their faults, as he says).  They kick them off the tamale train.

Now Chelsea #2 and quirky Mark are up next doing a tango routine.  Chelsie is a ballroom dancer, but says she doesn't know Argentine Tango.  They have to smash their faces together and Chelsie looks really awkward and has trouble even looking at Mark .  Chel seems a little hesitant with the sexiness, which is not good with this kind of dancing. Mark is much better at it and is more intense.  I believe him more but its a pretty cool dance overall.  Mia possibly has a crush on Cat, since she compliments her "getting down and dirty" to fix Chelsea's shoe, in kind of a hitting on way.  She loves Chels and Mark and their dancing.  Ditto Mary.  And first Mary scream of the night.  Nigel fakes them out by saying ewww but then yes he will continue the rant.  But he says he would like to see more passion in Chelsie and I agree (he says it should've been more sleazy)





Jessica and Will are up next.  Will seems like a really nice guy and he's cute. They are doing hip hop with Cicely and Olisa and there are chairs involved, so it looks promising.  This a terrible song (what you like by Nicole Sherzinger).  I like the dancing though, and Will is really good.  
Mia praises the choreography but says Jessica wasn't as good Will and didn't believe her.  Mary agrees and says Jessica wasn't quite there, but Will was awesome. 
Now the giants, Courtney and Matt.  Court looks so tall in her sparkly green dress and Matt's pants are very questionable.  I'm sold more on him than her, but overall its not bad.  The lift at the end is cool. Mia says it was great old hollywood glamour and says Matt is fantastic and Courtney doesn't own her size and strength yet. Mary says it was great but she doesn't like Matt's footwork and was a little disappointed with their technique.  Nigel liked it but had some critique for them.  
Next up is Courtney #2 and Gev.  They are working with Mandy Moore.  It's really good with cool lifts and they dance well together.  Mia likes it and says Courtney needs more purity in her movement.  She compliments Gev for being a good partner. Mary screeches that she loooved it and says the chemistry was great (well Gev did say he would tap that). Nigel liked them dancing together but didn't like the emotion and didn't believe it (I disagree).  
Josh and Katee are up next doing a broadway routine. Josh is so cute talking about Katee and smiling so much.   The dance is weird and crazy but they are both really good and I love Josh.  Nigel flips out and starts shouting and dancing around and says thats what he's been waiting for- it's entertainment (um isn't it all). I'm not sure what he's talking about but apparently he liked it.  Mary is so lame/annoying.  Mia says more of the same.
Susie and Marquis are up next doing salsa, Susie's apparent forte.  Woah nice striped pants Alex.  Apparently he calls Susie a "street" salsa dancer and she gets pretty upset about it. That sounds so cool though.   It's really fast and they are doing ok.  The judges don't love it- they expected more from Susie.
Twitchington is up next.  They have to do the Viennese Waltz and are not so thrilled about it.Jean Marc, the choreographer, tells us the song they are dancing to was is meaningful to him cause it has to do with his handicapped daughter.  And it's Celine Dion (awesome)  Twitch's shirt is open and they are dancing to Celine Dion.  It's really nice and touching and I loved it.  Mia gets technical and says that Kherington shouldn't have smiled the whole time (I didn't even notice that)- which Nigel disagrees with. Mary is crying and was touched by it she loved both of them.





Comfort and are Chris krumping! I'm excited for Comfy but I think Chris will suck it up.  Comfy is good but Chris is all over the place I think, but not so bad.  Mia says Chris pulled it off and that Comfort will be around for a while (I agree with that). Mary didn't love it- said Comfort could've hit it harder and started to lose it at the end (also agree).  Nigel goes on a rant about how weak Chris was and how his granma is more gangster than him (shut up Nigel!)
