Somebody got Sanjayed

Taking some time out from the grand renovation…

Last night on SYTYCD, there was oddness a-plenty!

First, America got stuck on the stupid again, when the votes came in showing that the bottom 3 couples were Lauren/Neil (I can see it), Sara/Jesús (kinda-sorta), & Anya/Danny (I don’t like them, well Danny, but they sure are good enough to not be anywhere near the bottom 3). Cedric got a sympathy vote, pure & simple. It was good for Shauna, because she really didn’t deserve to be in the bottom 3, but my goodness Cedric certainly did.

Thus, we got a guys bottom 3 of Danny, Jesús, & Neil. Danny & Neil gave superlative solo performances, while Jesús merely did ok. For his efforts, he got Sanjayed — sacrificed on the altar of subjective emotionalism, despite the fact that he was obviously more talented (in terms of this show). Last week Jimmy got Sanjayed, and this week it was Jesús’s turn. Bummer.

As for the girls, I really would’ve liked to have heard more of an explanation about why they chose Jessi to leave instead of Lauren (who, IMO, was most deserving of the boot, despite being just about the cutest pretender to my Allison’s throne…). If the medical thing was the main reason, then they really should’ve just disqualified her after having missed Wed’s performance show. If it was somehow based on dancing ability, then I must say that I thoroughly disagree with the judges’ reasoning. Jessi wasn’t going to win, but neither was it her time to go — she still had a few weeks left, IMO, before she deserved to leave.

That all said, my favorite single dancer is still Lacey, and my favorite couple is (quite surprisingly) Dominic & Sabra. They just look so good together, work so well together, and have such a wonderful spirit together. In a great many ways, they remind me of Ivan & Allison from last season (with a hint of Benji & Donyelle thrown in for flavor…).

What a good show.
