OK, here's how my recap/reviews work:
  1. I always DVR the show so I can start/stop as many times as necessary
  2. I watch the performance and pause so I can write my own critique and prediction for what will happen without being influenced by the judges (Jidges if you're Cat)
  3. I watch and recap the Judges' responses and decisions (compare against mine)
  4. In the end, I will decide who are my favorites and predict the bottom 3

My Favorites:
Kupono & Kayla
Brandon & Janette
*Can't pick a 3rd because I have 3 that I liked equally

Predicted Bottom 3:
Jonathan & Karla
Vitolio & Asuka
Jason & Caitlin

Predicted Cast-offs:
I think it'll be the end of the road for Jonathan & Karla.  They've had two poor routines and one good.  Odds are against them, and they were worse than any other couple this week for me.

OK, here's how my ELIMINATION recap/reviews work:
  1. I always DVR the show so I can start/stop as many times as necessary
  2. I list who I predicted would be in the bottom 3.
  3. I watch the show and confirm if I was right or wrong.
  4. I critique each "Dance For Your Life" Solo & decide who I think should be sent home (may be different than my original pick from Performance episode).
  5. I watch and recap the Judges' responses and document who the judges choose to eliminate and confirm if I was right or wrong.
Predicted Bottom 3:
Jason & Caitlin
Vitolio & Asuka
Phillip & Jeanine


(I actually watched the show the day it aired, but was too tired to blog.  However, I was very emotional about the results and I will write the recap/review as if I were watching it live.)

My Favorites:
Brandon & Janette
Max & Kayla
Jonathan & Karla

Predicted Bottom 3:
Jason & Caitlin (sad)
Vitolio & Asuka (I don't buy it)
Phillip & Jeanine (This will prove his following)

Predicted Cast-offs:
So hard to guess, but for right now, I'd say Vitolio & Jeanine (hard to say because we've never seen Jeanine's solo.  I'm being biased because I don't want to break up Jason & Caitlin.  I don't even like him in the bottom because he's great).

*I don't want to spoil the surprise of the pairings, so for this week, my favorites and bottom 3 predictions will be at the end. Next week they'll be on top.

The Top 20 have been cast and the REAL competition starts on Wednesday, 10-Jun-2009.  We'll find out who each person got paired up with (this decision alone can make or break a great dancer if paired with the wrong person).  We'll also see who has the right "on camera" personality to grab votes, but more importantly to executive producers (Nigel) RATINGS!  Because ratings = money $$$.

As I mentioned before, I do my own unscientific, unofficial, and definitely not objective dancer profiling to determine what the breakdown is for this season and how that stacks up against previous seasons.  I may even speculate about why other dancers may have been passed over. 

*I am not affiliated with the show in any way.  I am just a humble TV watching speculator critic who wants to express my opinions (as unfounded or biased as they may seem at times).

*I don't want to spoil the outcome, so I have listed my favorites that made Top 20 at the end of the entry.

*I have not identified favorites, but I wish the best for the Top 32 and know those not chosen are no less talented than the Top 20.  They're just not what the judges want this year.  Let's hope they return for Season 6 auditions.
