Yeah!!!! So You Think You Can Dance is BACK! I missed it last week with the holiday, but everyone came back with full force.

So here is my review of the top 14…

Lacey & Cameron (Hustle). So this was not my favorite dance but they did a great job. And Lacey has such a great personality I think they’ll be safe again this week.

Shauna & Cedric (Mambo). This just didn’t feel very Latin to me — no passion in it. Although I really like Cedric. But I think they’ll be in the bottom 3 and he’ll probably go home this week.

Danny & Anya (Contemporary). Danny is a great technical dancer, but there is a disconnect somewhere — I just never really feel joy watching him even though he’s a great dancer. I thought Anya looked great as a blonde — it kind of softened her look. But I think these two will be in the bottom three, not because the dance wasn’t good — it was — but because I don’t think they connect to the audience as much as some of the other couples.

Pasha & Sara (West Coast Swing). I have to admit that Pasha is growing on me. He wasn’t my favorite at the beginning, and still isn’t my favorite, but his personality is showing through more so that’s great. I LOVED seeing Benji again — and having him teach was so great! It made me remember why he is so loved by America. But about the performance…. I have to say that I was a bit distracted by the song — horrible, awful, repeating song “check it out now, the funks so rubber” what in the world??? I just wanted the song to end! But I had the show in Tivo — so I played it back with the music off and I loved it. :-) Great choreography by Benji.

Sabre & Dominic (Hip Hop). I love Shane Sparks — he’s such a great choreographer. Both of these two are becoming more like-able as time goes on. I hope they will be safe again this week — and the dance was great.

Jamie & Hok (Waltz). I have to say I was really nervous for Hok when I saw they were going to do the waltz. I thought Jamie danced beautifully — it was wonderful to watch her. And I think they are such a great couple — wish they would be safe, but I predict they’ll be in the bottom three.

Lauren & Neil (Jazz). I just love Neil! I think he’s going to be a contender for the winner of So You Think You Can Dance. He’s just so cute and like-able. They did a great job.

So, my predictions for this week. Definitely Shauna & Cedric, and Danny & Anya will be in the bottom three. But the other couple is a little bit “iffy” — probably Jamie & Hok just based on the dance this week.

Then I think Cedric will be sent home, and probably Anya because her individual dancing isn’t necessarily as good as the others.

Let’s see what happens…. (And if you have your own opinions, please feel free to comment.)
