LIVE BLOGGING: SYTYCD 6/25/08

18 last week.  16 this week.  Things are getting serious...a word that the jidges will have a hard time spelling if they are in the same drug induced stupor as last week.  The blog might be all rainbows and lollipops this week with the elimination of "street dancer" Susy Mixy Hair; will there be a new target for my harping love?  And let's have a moment to mourn the premature elimination of Marquis!  Okay...stop crying.  I said a moment.  It's over.  Time to watch "So You Think You Can What What!?"

8:00- Cat Deeley is sporting a white lace outfit tonight.  Last week she was the angel of death in a full black ensemble, this week she is the angel of doilies...in one giant doily.   

8:03- During the introductions Gev pulls out some popper tricks that almost dislocate his shoulders...and I mean that in the coolest way.  Thayne pulls out a smile that almost dislocates his face...and I mean that.  Period. 

8:04- Adam Shankman of "Hairspray" fame is on the panel tonight.  Get ready for rainbows shooting out of his fingertips.  Mary Murphy apparently got a hold of a bedazzler, and a pattern book for your grandma's sweater...and possibly some crack.

8:06- They acknowledge Cyd Charisse's passing.  Nigel claims to have danced with her, and all of America is heard saying, "When?!"

NOTE:  SYTYCD LIVE BLOG'S WILL CONTINUE EVERY WEDNESDAY NIGHT FOR THE REST OF THE SEASON UNLESS OTHERWISE NOTED!!! 

20 dancers last week.  18 this week.  First show was just a warm up.  Time to start getting serious.  I mean, obviously Ravyn was joking last week when she wore those striped tights with ballet flats, right?  RIGHT?  Oh jeez.  Cue the credits.  "SO YOU THINK YOU CAN DAAAAANCE!"

8:00- Cat Deeley is wearing a simple black dress.  Wait! It has feathers on it!  All is right in the world! 

8:01- Comfort appears to have just done a ripple/wave motion with every appendage of her body during the introduction dancing.  Loving her. 

8:04- Do you think Mary ever gets jealous of the rotating jidge spot?  Maybe she should spice it up by wearing a costume each week.  Like if she was just sitting there in a giant Teletubby outfit with no explanation?

8:05- Holy shit!  All my dreams just came true.  Mary is wearing a leopard print costume bodice with giant beads and crimped hair.  It's very Wilma Flintstone at Fredrick's of Hollywood circa 1987.

8:00- The Dance Dance has begun.  Cat Deeley is back and rocking one of her signature sparkly dresses. 

8:02- Twitch dominates the introduction.  Susie is already on my shit list.  I can't handle the tacky hair.  Sue me. 

8:04- Dan Karaty kind of looks like he is in his dad's suit.

8:08- My heart is bleeding at the thought of Debbie Allen being absent from the jidjing panel this year.

8:13- First pair is up.  Ravyn and Jamie.  Ravyn needs to avoid pointe shoes.  They don't look broken in.  Will be interesting to see if pointe shoes grace the stage this year. 

8:15-  Jaime claims: "My face wants to pull all over the place," when referencing West Coast swing.  My new favorite phrase. 

8:15- Their routine (by the new hip-hop married duo) feels very stationary.  Then Ravyn pulls Jaime's pants down to reveal his briefs -- the liveliest part of an uneven routine. 

8:17- It is possible that Mary Murphy has a tank of laughing gas under the judging table.  This is news to no one.
