Random thoughts about Tonights show
I got to thinking we always have the discussion blog to talk about the different dances. Usually we comment on whether or not we like the dance. Tonight I noticed I pay close attention to detail (okay well I always do). Like during Kent and Neil’s broadway number I noticed the numbers on the back of their uniforms. Neil was wearing the number 3, kinda fitting since he place third in his season and now that I think about it he was in season 3. Kent was wearing the number 7, for the top 7 or season 7. Very clever on the costume departments part. I always get a kick out of those things. So I was wondering who out there notices these things or is it just me. Also I would like to know what other little things that happen on the show that we all enjoy. So I figure I’ll list a few of my favorites tonight and focusing on the positive.
Loved that Cat knows all of us girls love Neil.
I found myself wanting a pair of sparkly converse after that Jazz routine.
After the Tahitian dance I couldn’t help but wonder how many guys would want Lauren as one of those hula figurines to go in their car. For us girls Mark was just as hot.
Loved Mia’s comment about a duck in heat cause she has one in her back yard. That was one of the random things that just made me laugh. Plus I like that she makes up new works. I have to agree with her on the I love boys.
The sword. Nigel didn’t want Jose to have it and Cat didn’t want Dominic to have it. What really got me was when Dom took the sword off stage, I didn’t quite catch what Adam said but I definitely laughed when Cat said we don’t let him run with sharp objects.
Fantastic post. I ABSOLUTELY want a Lauren hula bobble hips doll for my car. Will you please get me one for Christmas?
Tahitian dancing is hot. It’s my favorite polynesian dance. I loved to shake it at parties with friends when I lived in Hawaii. I had a lot of tahitian friends and even did some of the tahitian drumming. Great stuff and I’m glad that Mark was there to share it with us. How about a Haka next?
Didn’t Mia post a picture of her ducks on her Twitter stream a year or more ago? I seem to remember that for some reason.
Amanda – That whole Adam/Cat exchange in regards to Dom was because of how Dom was holding the sword. Adam said something like, “Dominic! You Kidding!” It was baaaaad, funny, but baaaaad.
Thanks Marianya I thought as much. They really shouldnt encurage Dom there is no telling what he will do. Just saw that Mark tweeted that a real tattoo is sounding appealing to him which made me think I would have loved to have been the make up artist that put that tattoo on his body.
Amanda – Meh, I’m not worried about Dom… to me that’s normal male bahavior so I’m not fazed, but they should use discretion, esp since there’s a lot of younger folk out there that might be asking “mommy? daddy? why are they laughing at him? what is he doing?”
True I think thats why Cat cut Adam off and would have been edited out if ir wasnt live. I love that the contestants are so willing to call each other out. Billys nervous laugh when it came to dancing with Anya. I dont think Anya realized her skirt ripped till Cat pointed it out.
@ Marianya: I didn’t think that at all, and if you look closely, he was holding his arm to the side. Look closer. CLOSER!!!!! There ya go. 🙂
I thought the same thing about being the one to tattoo Mark 😉 And I love noticing clever things like the numbers!
One thing that maybe only a Markaholic would have noticed – A judge FINALLY said something to Mark during the judging!!! THANK YOU Adam! He is the only all-star that hasn’t been directly addressed during judging, much less compliemented for the ENTIRE season! Although Cat paws him at any possible opportunity. Smart lady.
compliemented??? LOL
@Margot lol I thought Mia said something to Mark as well. I loved the number thing as well its those little thing that jump out at me. Well that could have had something to do with the fact Neil was dancing.
Watching Billy and Lauren last night, I kept thinking back to Gev and Courtney’s jazz piece during S4, about the 2 people getting lost in the jungle, also choreographed by Mandy. This piece also had so much to do with the style. I thought it was interesting how Nigel LOVED Billy and Lauren last night, but called Courtney and Gev’s piece “cotton candy”, meaning it had no substance. How times have changed…
@Margot
The very first week, when Cristina? partnered with Mark on the Sonya dance, Mia had high praise for Mark (although he wasn’t on stage, since they didn’t start keeping the AS on during the critiques until the next week).
She said something like ‘you were given a quirky dark dance, and paired with a master – for that style, he is the best out there, and you kept up with him’, words to that effect.
I remember thinking, damn I wish they let the AllStars stay on stage, because I would have loved to have seen Mark’s reaction to Mia’s rave.
Clio reminds me- I noticed Cristina in the audience. Anyone else catch that glimpse?
