June 2009 Archives

RIP Michael Joseph Jackson (August 29, 1958 - June 25, 2009)

Originally aired: 17-Jun-2009

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:
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).    

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.
