Adios....

Last night we said goodbye to Jaimie and Kameron. That shook a few things up in our pool, eliminating Emily, Marni, Rich and Deb. You join Caroline, Sam, Jenni and Jen G in the loser pile. Jon is in terrific shape with all three of his dancers still in the pool (way to go on the trade - it totally saved you!) Melissa, Brooke, Matt, Jen R, Jodi and Jana are still strong with 2, while Nick is barely holding on with Pasha. The game is getting good! 8 players and 8 dancers remain! Atleast I think so and so does DAN KARATY who I just ran into at Starbucks. Of course, being the loud-mouth publicist and pool commissioner I am, I had to fill the SYTYCD choreographer in on our pool. He was loving it and after posing for a picture with me gave me his thoughts on this season. He thinks its between Lacey and Danny. He asked my opinion and when I said I was very impressed with Sabra, he actually seemed surprised- telling me he thought she was going to be one of the first off the show, but has definitely stepped it up. I did not get the impression he saw her going all the way ... unlike Mia who called Sabra out as her favorite the other night. Dan was really cool. I would like him to be my new friend. I am going to try to track down his info so I can get him involved in the pool- maybe he will want to be a special guest commentator one week on Dillon's Dish...

Meanwhile, Jen R. has really mastered the SYTYCD celeb look-a-like roster.... check it out!

Previously on SYTYCD.....

A HUGE thank you to Matt for stepping in while I was on my great European adventure (I will be putting up a link to our photos from the trip where you can see me busting a move on the dance floor in 5 different countries.) While I was gone, there were some surprising eliminations like Shauna and some not so surprising goodbyes like Cedric. Last week, we lost Anya and Hok. I was fine with Anya leaving- she bothers me, but I would have liked to see Hok make the top 10 if only for the purpose of making the tour. As Matt pointed out, here are the standings going into tonight's elimination:
Seven players have all three members still intact:

Nick
Janna
Jodi
Jen
Melissa
Deb
John

Five players have two remaining players:

Emily
Marni
Matt!
Brooke
Rich

The following players have been eliminated from the game:

Sam
Jen G.
Jenni
Caroline

Now, onto last night's performances. I have to say I absolutely loved this episode. Wade Robson's choreography was moving- my favorites of the solo performances were Lauren and Sabra- I must say, Sabra is looking pretty damn good! She is KILLING IT! That is good news for Brooke and Jen R.

My prediction is that either Neil or Kameron could be leaving tonight for the boys, and i think Jaimie may have to go for the girls- not because she doesn't deserve to stay- but out of everyone that is left, she seems to fall at the bottom of my list. Maybe I'm wrong...

We'll have to see in a few hours! I'll have results up tomorrow.

Enjoy the show.

No Dancing This Week...

Ok, so I'm a little behind on blogging about last week's episode but the emails that went around on Friday were sufficient enough for thoughts/feelings/emotions on the sad and surprising departures of Jessi and Jesus.





Moving on to this week....maybe I missed the memo, but I was upset when I got home from Manhattan Beach last night and SYTYCD was not on. Bummer! We'll have to wait until next week to see who else goes home. In the meantime, I'd like to announce that there was a successful and commissioner approved trade. After Caroline's plea to trade Lauren, Jon stepped up and offered his Jaimie for Caroline's Lauren. If you refer to the below cross reference guide, the change has already been made. The trade period has expired. That is bad news for Jenn G! You are out of the game. I do have an offer for you, or for anyone else who may be interested though...

I will be out of the country from July 9th-July 23rd and I'm accepting applications for stand-in commissioners during these 2 weeks. Of course I will be updating the blog, but I would like to have a substitute during this time to keep all members informed of immediate news and results that I may be late on. Plus, I most likely will not be able to watch until I am home... let me know if you are interested in lending a hand.

Happy 4th of July to all pool contestants!
