how about some real life

so i talk alot about tv but i have a life outside of the television world too so lets discuss this some

so this weekend i went dts (down the shore)...hopped on the train after work and the come home today...saturday i went swimming at my sister's house...my little squish a lish was super cute just like always!!!...later i went back to the house and got ready for band night...this band was really good and tons of fun...deb ordered excellent food from runners and lennys...the whole night was hit and i had tons of fun!!!!....today was on the gloomy side and it turned out to be rather stormy so we just stayed in the house, watched movies, and played spades...i was partners with wanda...we lost to cort and jill but not by much it was a close game...so most of the day was good...

...until the ride home. (warning im about to have a venting woe is me moment)..i was talking to my sister and asking her about this new boy at the beach and some how the conversation turned into more then that and i realized that evnthough i thought i was close to my sisters im really not...they dont tell me anything...EVER...it all goes back to the stupid box i live in...and i guess they think that i would be upset with them or diapopinted or something i dont know...but i dont think that they understand that it hurts me more to know that they keep secrets from me but find it okay to tell just about everyone else....i mean if i had anything to tell, i would tell them...but maybe i wont now because they clearly dont care to tell me...and the worst part is the fact that she said well i didnt tell anyone in the family...well im sorry last time i checked meg britt kate and ty are in our family...and some of the other people she chooses to confide in over me just really hurts my feelings...and then when i get upset about one thing all the other things that make me sad come flooding in...its like a snowball effect...so its just all bad right now...but whatever ill get over it...i always do and by tomorrow i will be back to my typical cheerful self...

good night

you have got to be KIDDING me!!!!

AHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!

this week i am skipping right over my normal review and going straight into my outrage over this show!!!! there is something seriously wrong with the fact that WILL got voted off this week!!! he was by far the best dancer this season...the judges have made it perfectly clear that they want a hiphop dancer to win this season...how is it possible that this could happen???...GRRRRR!!!!!!...i am angry and sad all at the same time...and i will admit that this is the first time this show has made me cry...i wasnt balling or anything but i did shed a few tears...i'm still in disbelief...what else is there even to say....nothing...i almost want to quit...but obviously i cant but i want to...this season is not up to par thats for sure...

who is the mole?

so for those of you who are not watching the mole you are def missing out on an excellent show...let's quickly review what this program is all about...a group of people participate in different challenges trying to add money to the pot...but one person is being paid by the show to be the mole and sabotage these missions and keep money out of the pot...at the end of each episode the players take a quiz which has multiple choice questions about the mole's identity...{{i.e. was the mole wearing shorts during today's mission?}}...then the player with the lowest score on the quiz is executed...

so now that we all know what the game is about lets get down to this season...there are only 5 players left and i still have no idea who the mole is...it could be anyone of them...i really dont think its mark but the other 4 are all on my list and have exhibited lots of moley behavior...but i must say that i thought nicole was the mole from the beginning so i am still slightly leaning towards her...only time will tell and after tonights episode and we only have 4 players left i plan on sharing my thoughts on why and why not each of them is the mole...

from 10 to 8

for this results show we got 3 group dances, 4 solos, and zero guest musical acts

the group dance

the top 10 group dance was bollywood...once again i dont want to offend anyone so i will keep my comments on this one to myself...just remember it has nothing to do with the dancers or how they performed...so yeah thats it...

the girls

this was a beautiful mia michaels piece...the girls danced this so well...i didnt even notice comfort...it was nice to see them without all the eyeliner and mascara and whatever other kind of make up that is usually caked on for the show...but thats just a side note...lol...

the boys

this dance was so much fun!!!...it was one of those that just makes you smile...i couldn't believe that it was choreographed by the one and only nigel lythgo...it gives him a little more credibility when he judges now that we know what he can do...

the solos

the bottom 4 for this evening were comfort, kherington, gev and mark... 3 out of 4 solos were better than the night before...i bet you cant guess who i didnt think did better...haha...its mostly because all of her solos are not very good...i thought that gev had the best solo thursday night...and i think it was his best yet...

the results

gev and kherington got voted out...WHAT?!?! what do you mean comfort is still there???....i just dont understand...i wish i could give her negative votes...she has got to go...if this was penny wars i would put a $20 bill in her jar...{{for those of you who dont know what penny wars is putting $20 in a jar causes them to lose 2,000 points}}...so yeah i was also sad to see gev go but just like the rest of the season im always sad to see the boys go...they are way better than the girls this year

top 10 (part 2)

okay im back sorry it took so long...

round 2

joshua and courtney ~> rumba

i thought court was fabulous (just like her first rumba with gev)...she just gets it with the hips and stuff ya know...so good job for her...josh on the other hand was just okay in this...so over all for the night court was better in one and josh was better in the other

mark and kherington ~> jazz

i liked it...sure they could have been a little bit more powerful but it was still good...way better than their first dance...i think it would have been better if these two looked like they actually liked each other instead of being very cold...but i dont know...and btw the song reminds me ryan from season 2...love him!!!

twitch and comfort ~> hip hop

of course this was an excellent dance and i expected it to be...they are both hiphopers so they should have nailed it...good thing they did...but i must say what was up with the silver girl scout sash twitch had on...it just looked silly....so after this dance it brings my grand total of comfort dances i have actully liked up to 1...that is unexceptable for a top 10 dancer...

will and katee~> pas de deux

yeah there really is nothing to say here except that this was incredible...sure there was one little mess up but that was probably the most difficult dance of the season and it was AMAZING!!!...i never would have thought that the great desmond richardson would be making an appearance on this show...it was def a pleasent surprise!!!...so yeah i LOVED it!!!!

gev and chelsie ~> jive

i always enjoy a nice jive...mostly because they are fun!!!...obviously chelsie rocked this dance and despite what the judges said, i thought gev kept up pretty well...it was def not like dancing with the stars...gev did way better than most the celbs on that show so i dont know what mary was talking about...

solos

i'm not going to get into every single solo...most of them were not so good...some stand outs for me were courtney, will, katee, and twitch...{{who knew twitch would pull out a beautiful barrell turn}}...

top 10 (part 1)

okay a few things before i get into my review...

1. jessica is out and comfort is back in...all i have to say about that is grrrr!!!!
2. when i heard lil c was the third judge i was like really, really??? what could this guy possibly have to say thats worth while but to my surprise i thought he was an EXCELLENT judge!!!
3. what was i thinking when i decided to review this show...its a whole lot of dancing...its late...and im tired...so i'll probably only get to half of what happened tonight...

so onto the show...

Round ONE

Courtney and Joshua ~> hiphop

this was a frankenstien theamed dance...i thought they did a good job...josh really stood out for me in this dance...(as he should have cause he is a hiphoper afterall)...and i thought court kept up with him for the most part...but what happened to the illusion she tried to do....im sure she can do it better than that...

Mark and Kherington ~> country two step

Oh boy...what a mess this dance was...they missed all kinds of turns and they just looked awkward doing it...call me crazy but a top 10 dance shouldnt be classified as a mess...i mean they tried but it just didnt work...however, on a positive note i like that the show is adding more styles

Twitch and Comfort ~> waltz

Yeah this was mess number two for the night...i thought twitch did little bit better than comfort but still not great...as a whole the dance wasnt very graceful...just not very good at all...it was very blah...but i must say i did laugh when the dirty dancing lift was mentioned and my lm-ers know why!!! (happy holidays!!!...hahahaha)

Will and Katee ~> broadway

yay for not being a mess!!!! this dance was tons of fun...they both nailed their characters and all of the technical elements of this dance (yesh they did)...i really liked it!!!...so now i must say that will is my fav in the top 10 and i also want to say that i like josh and katee much better away from each other than i did when they were partners...

Gev and Chelsie ~> contemporary

i liked this one...chelsie always does such an amazing job at all the non ballroom styles that i forget that shes a ballroom dancer...and every time she dances i say to myself wow heidi never would have been able to do that...lol..so yeah good job chelsie...and as fav as gev goes i thought he did a good job too...nothing great but not bad either...so overall this was def one of the better dances of the first half...

okay thats all for now...i'm tired and must go to sleep...stay tuned for my thoughts on round 2 and the solos...and of course there will be a results show tomorrow night...so hopefully i will get to everything...but until then good night!!!

"it will be very sad to lose one of you"

i know this post should have happened thursday night but i watched the show late and then i went to sleep...so i'm here now to review what happened when 12 were cut to 10...

the group dance

this week was a nappy/tabs production to closer by ne-yo...i think this was my fav group dance of the season...this was the first group dance in a long time that the stage was lit up and you could actually tell who was who...dont get me wrong i also love the weird numbers but there was just something about this one that made my sister and me say in unison "this one is really good"...everything from the beginning when they can out in 3 different groups to when the lights went out and their jackets lit up to the end when everyone was dancing together...the whole thing was great!!!

the bottom 3 couples

comfort and thayne

well if you didnt see this coming then you're just not very smart...lol...whether you like them or not everyone knew they would be in the bottom...but my fav quote of the evening comes from the lovely miss mia michaels was giving her opinion of these two being in the bottom..."it will be very sad to lose one of you...i really want you to stay"...translation is i'm rooting for you thayne!! but comfort you should already have you bags packed...lol...see the key word was one of you...

will and jessica

although they had the best performance of the night on wed (imo), they were still in the bottom...i was kinda hoping they wouldn't be there because you know they arent going to get rid of will (and why should they because he is amazing)...so with will in the bottom it gives thayne a smaller chance of staying...and on the other hand with jessica in the bottom it gives comfort a greater chance of staying...and i wanted it to be the other way around...make sense??

twitch and kherington

i didnt see this coming....they totally deserved it but i thought their fans would save them...and as soon as they were announced i started to say my goodbyes to little thayne...lol...

the solos

comfort

i must repeat myself from last night...just...no...but her song reminded me of danny and anya from last season...oh how i love me some DANNY!!! <3<3<3

thayne

great solo...you can tell that he really wants to stay but knows his days are numbered...aww...i wish he was given a better partner from the beginning...actually i like chelsea so i wish other people would have liked them together as well...oh and btw i always enjoy the music he picks...

jessica

oh jessica...this solo was a million times better than her solo from week one but still not great...

will

yeah will is just amazing thats all there really is to say...that solo was great...my friend dacia made a good point in saying that the average viewer my not appreciate that solo as much as a dancer would (this happened to kourtni and matt the week they had contemp)which maybe true but its a good thing the judges are dancers and know that will's solo was EXCELLENT!!!

kherington

i liked her solo...she was whipping around on her fouettes super fast...it made me wonder how her feet weren't getting ripped up and then i looked a little closer and she had elfs on...yay for elfs!!!...i'm kinda glad that not everyone has to do the whole bare foot thing...you do get nicer lines but the turns get sacrificed...

twitch

i liked the concept and i think he has really great stage presence but i dont know there was nothing very exciting about it...nothing to make me go wow! that was really cool...so it was good not great...

the results

well to no ones surprise comfort and thayne are the ones leaving the competition...i'm happy about comfort and sad about thayne...the judges said that they wanted to get rid of 2 girls and keep all 3 guys and i agree...i would not have been upset with that out come at all...so after all is said and done we have our top ten who will be going on tour and the announced comfort and thayne will be alternates...this leaves two more alternate spots...i really hop it will be matt and kourtni!!!

Top 12

Well i just watched the top 12 performance show and as i sit here and vote for my new fav couple (my old fav got kicked off last week....sad i know) i will share my thoughts...

• Chelsie and Mark ~~> first they danced a salsa...again with the feathers not as distracting as last weeks feathers in their foxtrot but i could have done with out them...onto the actual dance...i liked it!!!...i'm not a salsa expert or anything but i thought it was entertaining and it looked super difficult and to me it looked like they nailed it...but i do agree with mia's comment about mark's character not being as strong as it usually is...still a great number!!! for their second dance of the evening they had broadway and let me start by saying that i LOVE the song they used and it brings back all kinds of great memories for me (like dawnie and her ending pose)...so yeah i liked this peice...i wouldn't call it amazing or anything but it was good and they def sold the whole feeling of the song...so overall for the night these 2 had two solid performances....i'm a fan!!!
• Thayne and Comfort ~~> first up hip hop...i thought thayne did a much better job at picking up the style of hip hop than any other non hiphoper this whole season...yes i understand what the judges said about no chemistry blah blah whatever but i really think that he danced it really well if that makes any sence to anyone...and i give him major props for not smiling because as a constant smiler i find it super dificult not to smile while im dancing and it takes a lot of effort becuase i find so much joy in danceing that the smile just slips out even if the song or dance dont really call for it....anyway moving on...next they did contemporary...yeah comfort just...no....she just wasnt good at it...i'm not too happy she was even here this week so i'm gonna be extra critical on her and i dont even have to be because anyone can see that she was not good at this dance....thayne on the other hand was excellent!!!...i see bottom three in their near future...i just really hope that mia fights for thayne to stay...
• Will and Jessica~~> contemporary...yeah all i have to say is OH.MY.GOD...i was completly speachless after this one....it was definitely one of those WOW moments...i think its my fav from the whole sesaon...there are no words to describe how brilliant will is...and i must admit that i was not a jessica fan in the beginning becuase her fist solo was aweful but she started to grow on me a little bit and then last week she stepped it up with the shirt dance and now this week she def proved herself to me...so good job!!!...dance number two was quickstep...to me it seemed more like some type of fusion between quickstep and jive or something but def didnt look like your typical quickstep...i know nothing about proper quickstep technique so i cant really judge on that but i will say that i thought it was fun and i was entertained but their first dance was so excellent that they could have stood there and did nothing and still get my vote....thats right it said it my fingers are diling 888-TEMPO-03 tonight!!!!
• Courtney and Gev~~> time for some cha cha...this was a fun number...at first i was kinda eh toward it but it picked as it went on...but i couldnt help but think about what it would have looked like if it was pasha and anya out there instead...now that would have been AMAZING!!!!...next up was a ??? (okay so i wasnt really paying attention when they said the style but i'm guessing it was jazz)...this was a safari themed dance...again i thought it was fun...gev did some great tricks but when he wasnt doing his trick i thought you could really see his limitations (like the super bent legs in that stradle jump)...so overall tonight these two were fun...
• Twitch and Kherrington~~>they pulled krump out of the hat...i don't really like krumping so to me this dance was just okay...not because i dont think they did good because i thought twitch really shined in this peice but just because i dont like the style...and kherrington def lost some steam at the end...dance number two tango...yeah i wasnt feeling this...i dont think this was anywhere near the level of dancing we should be seeing at this point in the competition...i think after tonights performances they should be in the bottom 3 tomorrow night but because they are one of the golden couples i know they wont be...
• Katee and Joshua~~>Viennese waltz was first for them...let me start by saying that i think I'm the only person who just doesn't get it with these 2...so with that being said i didn't like it...LOVE the song (its my text ringtone...hehe...) but not so much the dance...i didn't think it was flowy enough for a waltz...i don't know if that's completely their fault because it was pretty fast but the number one golden couple should have done better...oh dance number 2 was bollywood...and i have no comment...only because i don't want to offend anyone and i think that's where my comments would be headed...lol...so lets just leave it at that....

Okay so that's everything...let me know what you think...and i will be back tomorrow with the results!!!

So You Think You Can Dance???

okay so there are 2 things in life that I'm super passionate about...dance and tv...so when the two are combined you can't go wrong!!!...to me the BEST dance show out there is So You Think You Can Dance...(will be referred to as sytycd from here on out)...so since i love it so much and have tons and tons of opinions on it i decided to share them with everyone...I'm not going to get too deep into it now but tomorrow is a new episode and i plan on sharing my thoughts after i watch it...let me just say how incredibly annoyed i am with the judges for getting rid of Matt and Kourtni last week...they were by far my fav couple and i feel that they (along with a few others) were treated like the red headed step children...the judges tore them apart every chance they got when they gave the "golden couples" nothing but praise even after not so hot dances...the favoritism this season has gotten out of control and i'm not liking it...

also i think im going to share my opinions of other shows i watch like the mole and when it comes back lost and possibly other misc. shows along the way...maybe some movie reviews too...oh and i guess i can throw in some real life stories as well...so to recap i'm going to try my best not to neglect my little blog and talk about just about anything and everything...if you have a request please let me know...
