SYTYCD - Wicked Pisser Edition

My goal is to make this relatively brief. Let’s see that goes! *Spoiler Alert!* I totally fail.


First up on last night’s list of successfully viewed TV shows is:

So You Think You Can Dance

Hey, look at all of those dancers they’re showcasing! Only a few cringe worthy appearances. We finally got to see some focus on the men, they showed even more of the choreography round, Cat Deeley being adorable and trying to speak with a Boston accent – “park the car in Harvard Yard” and “wicked pisser” have never sounded so classy, and Tyce made us want to punch him in the face several times.

Auditions this week were in Boston. Don’t worry, Pat, Courtney, and I totally auditioned with an excellent piece set to the Manwich song, music provided by Courtney – I don’t know why that didn’t make the cut! Anyway, Cat Deeley says “Hey girl!” Or did we totally make that up? So hard to tell.

Some of the quality dancing highlights included:

•  Kimara Wood - dreadlocked contemporary dancer with can fly and hypnotize you with his hair
•  Channing - who we aren’t sure how we feel yet because most of her dancing was stretching and rolling around on the ground. We do know that she like ice cream, so she’s already more interesting than Kayla
• Jean Lloret - b-boy who started slow and had us worried for a second, until he broke out his power moves which blew everyone’s minds. He got 3 tickets to vegas and not a single criticism
•  Teddy Tedholm - who must be whimsical because he’s wearing funny pants and a bow-tie. He didn’t actually do that much dancing, but we’ll have to wait until Vegas to see if he has what it takes
• Married ballroom couple Karen and Matthew Hauer - meh. They were good, but now seem a little boring in retrospect
•  Kevin ''K'Bez'' Hunte - hip-hopped who Tyce went OFF on for not showing more of what he had worked on between last auditions and now, but they ended up sending him along to Vegas after the choreography round anyways
• Russell Ferguson - a crumper who managed to entertain us without making us think we were going to get murdered (what? Crumping is scary sometimes!)

In the, he’s just so adorable but too gigantic to function department, we saw 6’ 8” Ryan Casey, who put on a decent tap performance. His feet seemed to know what they were doing, but the rest of his body couldn’t quite keep up. Right now he’s a little too ungainly for the show, and would definitely be too tall to partner, but the kid’s only 18 and has a bright future ahead of him. He might be able to work on work on becoming more graceful and coordinated. Shrinking at least 8 inches? Probably not so much.

In this, why oh why on earth are you even showing us this department, we had 46 year old Paul Magliato who was well beyond the competition’s age limit (why did you even let him on the stage, guys?) and wore the tightest, most disgusting pants imaginable. I tried to find a picture of him so that he could haunt your dreams a little further – but the internet has failed me. Don’t worry though, google tells me he has a facebook page and he wants to be your friend.
