So You Think You Can Dance Season 6

[bengalbelle]

RadioNate, I'm sorry about your grandmother.

Here's my prediction: It will be between Russell and Jakob and Russell will win. Voting logic: Both are very deserving. But Nigel may have tipped it to Russell when he said Jakob should join a dance company. So the voting public will assume that Jakob will be able to make a living dancing with or without the SYTYCD win. Russell? who knows? He's grown so much but I don't know if a professional company would pick him up.

I'll be sad if Jakob doesn't win, but it won't last long because Russell's smile will make us all happy.

anyone watching tonight....

anyone watching tonight....

I will be. But I was giving TIVO some adequate leadtime so I can zip through the boring parts.

 

[lillygator]

yeah I just started it after letting teh girls watch prep and landing again. Leona Lewis is where I am now.

 

[lillygator]

russell hurt himself tonight.

 

[missypie]

so far the results are exaclty as we all predicted

 

[lillygator]

love the premiere of turn the tub around ---- cheesy but cute!

 

[lillygator]

um, was Russell really even hurt tonight?

 

[Mysteria]

Woo hoo!! Congrats to Russell!!

Hope his injury heals fast too.

 

[disneychick0412]

um, was Russell really even hurt tonight?

I would say the adrenaline took over once he realized he won, and that made him forget about the pain. I don't see any reason for him to fake an injury at this point.

Go Russell!!!

DD16 noted that Russell was pretty much dancing on one foot there at the end. I think he genuinely did hurt his foot, probably when he jumped off the stage during that three-guy hip hop performance.I think he was distraught because he knew he had 2-3 other performances coming up in the show and he just couldn't do them. At the end when he was talking with Cat Deeley I think he was just so pumped he didn't feel the pain. Or perhaps they gave him a shot of Marcaine backstage to deaden the pain(Remember the winter Olympics when Nancy Kerigan had to perform a few weeks after the shin-bashing? That's how she did it, they shot her shin up with some kind of lidocaine or Marcaine.)

I broke my ankle running through the woods a few years ago. I didn't realize it was broken so I just kept walking on it for 6 days. It hurt like...well, you know. But it didn't keep me from doing all the shopping, cooking, playing with the kids and going to work. Don't know that I could have danced on it, and I walked with a limp but if I just gritted my teeth I could make it. So maybe that's what Russell was doing.

At any rate, I thought Russell was the best developed and most improved dancer. He was truly a beauty to watch. Russell has a long, illustrious career ahead of him.

 

[missypie]

Wish I had bet money on the order because D and I called it exactly. I knew that whether Russell or Jakob won, I'd be happy for the winner and sad for the second place. I hope some dance company has already offered Jakob a job.

 

[Buckalew11]

Great results. I would have been happy either way!

 

[caribear]

I really wanted Jakob or Kathryn to win. Jakob is such a beautiful dancer and the routine with him and Kathryn was so emotional. I think Russell has grown tremendously on the show, but I thought he lacked the grace and elegance that some of the other dancers have....of course his hip-hop was "buck."

 

[BuzznBelle'smom]

I figured it would be Russell. He dances with such joy! You just have to smile when he's up there. I think Jakob was the better technical dancer by far, I just don't know that he had the personality/fan base to win. But, I have no doubt he'll do great things in the dance world. Kathryn was gorgeous and amazing.

Ryan and Ashleigh dancing together jsut emphasized to me that they never should have been there in the first place. Top 20, maybe, but not top 6. I find them both very fake.

I had to crack up at the "Turn the tub around" ad. I told my kids, "I went to Price Chopper this morning. THIS didn't happen!" Although DS3 did do a few pirouettes in the aisle...

 

[cabanafrau]

Well, I felt Jakob & Kathryn were the top two dancers, but I knew going in where everyone would place. Kind of impossible to be against Russell winning, he just captures everyone with that amazing smile and makes you feel good. Sure he's a wonderful dancer, but I don't think anyone could beat that smile.

Hope no one lost their jobs last night -- audio was horrendous. It was funny every musical act had to pull out their earpiece . . . except Jennifer Lopez. I felt terrible for Leona Lewis, though. That movie had bought so much airtime for weeks and then she comes to debut the theme song & she can't hear what she needs to in order to sing it correctly. I'm sure Nigel heard some very harsh criticism last night & more will head his way today. Unfortunately I think that may have sealed the deal against the show having anything other than a summer edition ever again.

It's been lots of fun dishing the show with all of you, hope to see you all next summer for season 7!

russell hurt himself tonight.

....he sure didn't LOOK hurt when he won....

I really wanted Jakob or Kathryn to win. Jakob is such a beautiful dancer and the routine with him and Kathryn was so emotional. I think Russell has grown tremendously on the show, but I thought he lacked the grace and elegance that some of the other dancers have....

....especially when he WON! I felt like I was watching an MTV Music Awards show...
